KANSAS KANS Vol. VIII BISH PASEO Y. M. C. A. NOW HAS OVER 700 MEMBERS Tablet to Be Erected in 28 Leave Areas in France by This Organization. Rev. Bolden and his choir rendered a fine program at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. last Sunday. Rev. Bolden presented the subject "Choice" in a convincing and helpful manner. Dying away from home, relatives and friends in a touching incident to witness. Such was the case with a young man who stayed a short time at the Y. M. C. A. Three months after leaving he sickened and died at the old City hospital. He remembered the name of a Y. M. C. A. secretary. His relatives in California were informed. They telegraphed money for funeral and burial expenses. Secretaries Smith, Ross and Mr. Sanfield composed the funeral party. Rev. Booker officiated. Services were held in Adkin's Chapel. Another story full of pathos is that of a young man who is now serving the state in its institution. He writes a touching letter. He regrets his act, he confesses his wrong. There are incidents of pleasure. The secretaries have aided young men and women to setons as teachers and all kinds of positions of labor. an kinds of positions of labor. The duties of a Y. M. C. A. secretary are many and varied. In joy, in sorrow, in success and failure he labors to keep hope, aspiration and inspiration alive in the breasts of men and boys. The boys' department had its first all night hike last Friday. Nineteen of them, under the supervision of Messrs. Marshall and Beck, went to Swope Park. They report a great time. Sunday meetings are growing in interest and attendance. The National Nurse Training association will hold its meetings at the Y. M. C. A. The membership has passed the 700 mark. In appreciation of the hospitality of the citizens of the 28 leave areas where the members of the American Expeditionary forces spent their furloughs, the American Y. M. C. A.—which conceived and carried on the work of these areas—is glacing commemorative tablets in each. The tablets are being placed on buildings which were the central points in each area. Among these areas were such well known places as Monta Carlo, which the late Prince of Monaco placed at the disposal of the American troops; Nice, and other resorts along the Riviera, and in the interior of France and in Brittany. The tablets contain in French and English the following: This tablet is placed by the Young Men's Christian Association of the United States in appreciation of the hospitality of the citizens of this town during the great war when American soldiers were permitted to use this building for rest and recreation." The various cities and towns concerned are making gala occasions of the unveilings, decorating buildings and streets with American and French flags, and the population turning out in force. Civil and military officers greet the Y. M. C. A. delegation at such points, dinners and speeches follow the unveiling ceremony. The leave areas of Chambray and Challes-les-Eaux were, those, of the colored troops, and these received (Continued on Page 4) SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 THE TWO COLORED CANDIDATES MADE A GAME FIGHT Against Machine and Race Disloyalty—Both Lost With a Smile Mr. Editor: You can print this article if you like: While the two colored candidates, Forrest B. Anderson, for Representative of the Eighth District, and Thomas Kennedy for County Commissioner for the Second District, lost the nomination at the primary, August 1st, both made one of the gamest fights for the race that has ever been seen in Kansas City, Kansas. and Wyandotte County Neither had but little co-operation and less encouragement from from their own race, which if they had, both could have been nominated. More than enough votes from the colored voters were cast for the white candidates, to elect either one of them. These two men are to be congratulated in the manly way they conducted their campaign and the sacrifice each made for the race's place, as citizens. These men should be complimented and those who are ever hollering their heads, off for opportunity and representation ought to drop their heads in shame. My dear colored brother, I think many of you played the part of a traitor to your own welfare. How do you expect other races to support you when you, your sleves, will not support each other. Yours for meditation. AN OBSERVER. MONARCHS WIN SERIES FROM NEW YORK The New Yorkers (Bachrach Giants) on their first appearance on Western soil, in a five-game series with Wilkerson's pennant chasers, Kansas City Monarchs, took the count in a five-game series, staging the first game last Saturday. The Lloyd aggregation of ball tossers copped the first two games, but went down in defeat in the last three in a fighting struggle. While these games do not count in the pennant race, they fought them out just as hard as if they did. The Lloydites are some diamond fiends and any team that beats them know they have been in a ball yard. The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s come Saturday for a five-game series and as the Monarchs are only a few points behind them for second place there will be some ball strategy used in these five games. The Cuban Stars follow the Indianapolis team. CARTWRIGHT MAKES A GOOD SHOWING A. C. Cartwright, the colored candidate on the state primary ticket for Superintendent of Insurance, showed considerable strength in the race. Mr. Cartwright's vote was a credit to himself and the race, running ahead of two white candidates and in some counties ran second in a field of six. Mrs. W. H. Burnett and son, W. Clemens Burnett, of Terrell, Texas, are visiting Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Blount, 402 Lafayette avenue. Mrs. Burrett is the wife of Prof. W. H. Burnett, principal of the Terrell school of Terrell, Texas, and a sister of Mrs. W. M. Blount. She will visit here for a month. Mrs. C. Winstead, 514 Rowland avenue, left Sunday night for Los Angeles, Calif., where she will visit for the balance of the summer. Her friends wish her a pleasant time in the Golden West.

ADVOCATE Uniform Rank Holds Second Annual Encampment—Meeting Was Successful The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias held their 38th annual session as the guests of the subordinate lodges of the City of St. Joseph. This was one of the most successful years in the history of the organization. The address of Grand Chancellor Aaron W. Lloyd consumed the most of Wednesday morning session and true to the custom of G. C. Lloyd, was an able document, covering every phase of the work. The most important feature of the Grand Chancellor's address was the discussion of the Pythian building fund. He recommended the return of same to the subordinate lodges, due to the fact that for over two years he had failed in his efforts to get the Supreme Chancellor to accept the escrow terms for the depositing of the tax, until the erection of the building had begun. His recommendation was adopted by a large majority. . Wednesday afternoon was consumed in reports of other grand officers, chief among which were the reports of W. T. Ancell, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, and James B. Coleman, Grand Master of Exchequer, which showed the colectons for the year to be $77,726.54, while the total disbursements were $52,829.69. The organization assets at the close of books for the year were $115,840.93. The session was noted for the harmony and good will which prevailed throughout. State Encampment The Uniform Department under the command of Brigadier General A. S. Morgan, was a great success. The parade of Tuesday evening and the big parade of Thursday in which the Grand Lodge and Grand Court joined with the Uniform Department, was one of the best ever seen in St. Joseph. It brought the highest praise from the city pres sand the citizens in general of St. Joseph. The citizens of St. Joseph vied with each other in making it pleasant for the delegates and visitors. The encampment was held at beautiful Lake Contrary and the drills held daily were viewed by thousands of citizens and visitors. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd, St. Louis; Grand Vice-Chancellor, A. C. Maclin, Hannibal; Past Grand Chancellor, Chas H. Brown, St. Louis; Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, W. T. Ancell, Huntsville; Grand Master of Exchequer, J. B. Coleman, Columbia; Grand Lecturer, W. E.

Mrs. Jacobs also visited hen mother in Atchison, Kansas. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER HEAR HIM. Mr. Reuben Bailey, one of the old and prominent citizens, passed away at his son's home, 1933 North Hallock avenue, last Friday, August 4. The deceased had been a resident of this city for nearly 50 years, and was 75 years old at the time of his death. He was known as one of our best citizens and lived for service and a devoted Christian life, being a member of the First A. M. E. church for 46 years. In his days of activity he was ever found at his post of duty in the church and civic affairs of his community. A splendid man has gone to his reward. He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Alice Turner, 1038 Freeman avenue, and a son, John Bailey, 1933 North Hallock avenue; eight grandchildren and a host of friends of both races who mourn his demise. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the First A. M. E. church, corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, Rev. J. F. Griffin, his pastor, officiating. The Knights of Tabor had charge of the funeral, of which order he had been a trustworthy member for years. The believed have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in the loss of their dear one.

Patents New Motor Car Wheel Kansas City Star: A wheel which the inventor chugs will make riding in a motor car as easy as riding in an airplane has been perfected by Neale Moore Robinson, a Kansas City, Kas., Negro. His patent from the United States bureau of patents arrived at his home, 2201 North Third street, this week. The wheel, according to Robinson's claims, is a perfection of the spring system upon which motor car engineers have worked for years. The general construction of the invention is a wheel within a wheel. Eight springs will surround the axle of the car, giving a spring at the axle. The main feature of the wheel, the inventor says, are the fact, that no rubber tires are needed. Hitting an obstacle as large as a brick, will not be noticed, by the person sitting in the car, Robinson says. Robinson worked the invention out during the last two years. MIDNIGHT GIVES IMPRESSIONS OF KANSAS CITY, KS. Is Preparing for Meeting of National Negro Business League at Norfolk, Va. East St. Louis, Illinois. We are now standing face to face with the meeting of the National Negro Business League, August 16, 17, 18 in Norfolk, Virginia, and it is going to be a great big meeting. Homes have been provided for all, and Hotel Mt. Vernon is now in apple pie order and will be the headquarters for some of the officials. I am sure that you will remember Hotel Mt. Vernon, for it was erected by one of the most aggressive men in the race during the Jamestown Exposition down there, L. W. Bright, and Mr. Bright is now manager of a large market in the city, and one more busy man, but he is going to lay off business during the meeting and just entertain his friends. There will be several new features, and I am told that the league is going to gut on for business, the thing for which it was organized. You are going to see great things done by it in the future. The National Bar Association, the National Funeral Directors' Association, the National Bankers' Association, and so many other associations will be on hand with this organization, and you will be preud if you are there to see the wonderful progress we are making. I am just going to be there. I have a special invite from President R. R. Moton, and you know I am going to be there and will be on the front seat. I have been going some, and I am going some more. Can you guess where I was when I took my pen in hand to write to you last week? Well, I am not far from the place, but I have been getting around in thought. I have been looking around to see what was going on, and how it was going on, and I am not dissatisfied with the result. I have been over to Kansas City, Kansas, and visited the First African Methodist Episcopal church. They have a live wire there as pastor. They have followed the lead of Dr. Griffin, and because of their leader, the church has put on the table something like 32,000 and he will go to conference with all the improvements, the parsonage, the pews, the improvements made on the church not a cent indebtedness. Now there is a man I would like to see bishop and hope he will be. He is a leader of men and a trained man to boct. We want men like that in the lead, and if we had bishops in our church I would just have him come in let me baptize him in the Kaw, and then elect him a Baptist bishop. They have strong men there and I was surprised to see Dr. S. H. Thompson pass the baskets in collection. I did not know that a doctor had time to give to Jesus. This accounts for his wonderfulness. Let us take off our hats to him, and at the same time congulate them Pythians for having him. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Editor Kennedy, and he is some worker in that same church. What do you think of an editor serving the Lord? This is a wonderful age, and you just don't know at times where to find yourself. Bill when I was there in church—in fact, I was the preacher for the morning, and when I was through Judge I. F. Bradley, one of the best (Continued from Page 1) Number 22 THANKS HIS FRIENDS I take this method to sincerely thank my many loyal friends, realiz- ing that so mazy people honzstty Believe that the assersor makes taxes ‘high when in fact"it is the various political subdivisions of government (city, county and state) who spend treir money that makes taxes high, but knowing full well the wrath that follows a lawful as- sessment, which bad never before been made in this county, would bring upox the assessor and his deputies, did their duty as they saw it All would have been well in November when the taxpayers re- ceived their notices catrying about ‘the same amount of money on the higher valuation, but fer the courty ‘board messing it up azd destroying the yaiue of ‘the deputies’ work by cutting the valuations of about 20¢0 of.the taxpayers and those who could best afford to pay a just tax, ‘but what they took off will increase the rate and fall heavier on the other 805%. My department has been severely cersured because of tie fact that many netices cf real estate valua- tions reached the property owners after the board of equalization had adjourned. I think ‘that jn all fair- ness the public should -know both sides of this story. Members of the county board failed to keep their agreement with me, made in No- vember, 1920, in which they prom- ised to deliver to me a complete and uptodate set of assesing maps and plats not later than January first, 1922, for the coming real estate as- sessing period. Some of thes? plast were not delivered until the 29th of June, sixty days after th time set for the completion of our work, Tre county clerk also failed to turn over to us the real estate es‘essment rolls oa February: 15th, as provided by statute. With these delays it is only natural that our work weuld follow in a delayed manrer but I hope that the taxpayers of this county, 2fter gaining a full knowl- edge of the situatios, will plce the lame where it belongs. I close by again thanking those who stood by an official who was not afraid to do his duty though it met defeat, and he met it with a smile. Respectfully, : WM. G. BIRD. ” County Assessor.

Now he made me happy. I had the pleasura of_shak- ing hands with G. D. Bryson, who is at the head of the Mo- saic Templars of American in Kansas City, and he is doing a great big work. This is one of our great organizations. . Have you heard the latest news? If not you will hear it soon, for something is going to drop in Misscuri, and ycu may tell them that I told you so. The Grand Lodge of that state will not pay up, and you know Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green will carry out the law of the order or he will report to Heaven the reason why. Their is one man who would let the hammer fell on. his father ifshe violated the law. He is a won- derful character. I realize that I am not going to try the Mis- sovri case, but you just lock and watch, and I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that there is going to be a heluva time before it is all over. I would admonish Grand Chan- eellor Lloyd to watch his steps, or he will find himself on the cutside looking in, instead of being on the inside locking out. He is dealing with a man. Did you ever see two young’ girls going on a trip? Making their maiden trip. This is what happened. Carrie and Lizzie are two young girls, daughters of a preacher. They are just about to enter society—that is, Carrie is a young wcman about 16, and Lizzie would register at 12, Their parents decided to let them make a vacation trip to the country. They had to ride the train. She was one of those good mothers who be- Vieved in cooking, and she fixed a fine lunch fcr the two girls, bought their tickets and start- ed them out to the country about 50 miles away. They had to change at Hannibal. That is to say, they got off there to shake hands with an uncle, and while they were talking “the train changed tracks, and when they got back they found a freight had taken the place of the pasen- ger. Carrie was Miss Know All, and insisted that it was the same train, and proceeded to push Lizzie up in the freight car, and was trying to get in herself, and Little Lizzie was trying te pull her in when the poiter came along and in- formed her that she was in the Wrong crurch and the wrong pew, and escorted them to the tar, where they were glad to get their chicken lunch ard clothes and preceeded on their journey. I suppose they reached the right place. I will tell you the rest of it when I et the infcrmaticn. I zm sure, that Miss Carrie Know All has a new lesson. She is now in the country eating chicken and fruit and enjoying herself and’ Little Lizzie is leoking after, perhaps pulling her up in the tree. | From Kansas City, I made my way to St. Louis, and found Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green in the unien stazle. and soon we ‘were in cne of the Poro College fine cars, headed for that great institution. We were received in the. latest style, assigned to, rooms, and soon were at breakfast. I tell you it is fine to be in company with Supreme Chanceller Green. He is just a companion and a man worth while. We spent some time there, then ‘the toted me down town in the business circles. He made me acquainted with some big white men, and after dinner in one of them cars toted me over to East St. Louis, where I am ‘the guest of Dr. and Mrs. W. B. M. Scott, cf the Baptist |church. Mrs. Scott is the daughter cf the late Thomas L. Smith, and sojourning with her is her niece, Miss Irene T. Bryant, an accomplished musi- ee They have been making it happy for me, while I have been resting. It is a home ‘where I have almost slept my fool brains out, and now I am vo and ready to start for Mc- bile, and will be there before you can read this letter, and while you are read‘ng it, I will be on my. way to Norfolk. “Rev. Scott is a high church- man, a big Baptist preacher. Mrs. Scott is an accomplished shorthand writer and book- keeper and just a worker, and Tiene is cne of the best trained young women in music. She is pleparirig to teach next fall, and I am sure she is going to do well. Onc day thev toted me up to Springfield, Tl, to visit Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Smith, and to see where they buried Lincoln. I was told that some damphule had said something about Lin- coln that was nct in gzod taste, and some of them meople told me that hell weuld break loose if they could get their hands on him. I eculd not learn his name, but they said he was editor of some kind of maga- vine advancing ideas cr some- thing like that that I do not know and carnot say. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Y. M. C. A.

Tne vice-goverror of Savoy, in which Aix-les-Bains is sivuat- ed, at the unveiling of the tab- let there quoted from Lincoin’s Gettysburg address and said: “Tt is nct becoming of us to bring useless homage to heroes Who have rio need or our words in order to live in eternal glory. “Our debt of gratitude for the war work that they have accomplished -with us 1s s0 much the greater that we have fought side by side, not for conquest, but the liberation of France, the liberty of Europe, and the principles of right and justice. “This work of enfrarchise- thet, be convinced, we wish to continue—but in peace and in peace only. The French Re- public dreams of no demination and as it has called the Re- public of the United States in its war task, it now calls it in its peace task for the progress of humanity.” 55TH GRAND ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF M.W.K.S.
