9TH ANNUAL KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET, FIRST A.M.E. CHURCH MARCH 29TH. JUDGE WM. HARRISON, CHICAGO, SPEAKER KANS 9TH ANNUA MARC CHICAGO MAN SPEAKS AT PALM BEACH MEET Dr. Charles Stewart Preached Wonderful Sermon. PALM BEACH, FLA., March 7. Charles Stewart, A. M., D. D., of Chicago; Ill., general missionary of the National Baptist Convention, and one of the most noted men of his race, spent Sunday at Palm Beach, the guest of Headwaiter Joseph S. McLane, and delivered an address to the waiters and preached a sermon in the quarters at night. In introducing Dr. Stewart, Mr. McLane spoke of the service he was rendering to his race and to humanity by his heart to heart talks to men only and to women only, pointing them the way to life and health. "As a missionary he is not alone begging money," said Mr. McLane, "but he is helping us to live. He is talking to us and he is talking for us. He goes all over the country preaching the doctrine of love." "It is easier to knock a man down than it is to lift a man up," declared Dr. Stewart, "and I find that I can destroy a building, but I cannot erect one, but my mission is to lift men up, to go to the cry of a human being in distress, not stopping to find out his color or race, for if he is a human being in distress, he is my brother, and my hand goes out to him. I come to you today, my brothers, urging that you stand up, erect, by each one a man rendering efficient service. You occupy an important place in this world and you should realize that. "You are just as important in the racial uplift as the minister. In fact, you can render a greater service in the making of sentiment, because you come in touch with some of the greatest minds in the world and now and then you get a chance to say to the white people what others do not get to say. Waiting on the table is just as important as teaching school or preaching, and it requires skill and thought. You have to use your head for more than a hat rack." "There was a time when the place of a waiter was filled almost exclusively by men of our race, but it has become so dignified that you find both white men and women entering the field, and this says to you that you must be particular; you must be neat and clean; you must be careful and you must put thought into the profession. Be courteous, polite and congenial. Be manly and not impudent. Make friends. "The white man realizes that he can depend on negroes. We are not of the striking class, although I recall some years ago the white boys got us in a union in Chicago, and the union ordered a strike. We struck, and we are still striking, for many of the houses where we walked out Continued on page 4 ALL HAIL!

Eighth Street and Nebraska Avenue Sunday Afternoon, March 25th, 1923, 3 P.M. Everybody Welcome Admission Free Big Mass Meeting Good Music Manatee, Fla., March 14.—Is the world turned around or am I dreaming or what has happened? Have I suddenly passed into another world, or is it that God is hearing some of our prayers? Some white men in Florida find themselves in a heluva fix, and they are now in jail looking out with bond being fixed at $15,000, and no one to say let them out. For men are not chances that kind of money on criminals. They went hunting for human blood the other day, and had decided on a barbecue. The man was carried to Palatka to jail and they tried to storm the jail, the sheriff tried to and did protect his man, and got shot. Does that mean now that the holding of human barbecues must be stopped and life and property made safe? Let us all pray that it is just what is meant by this. The white man must either protect life or say that he is not able to enforce law. I am now looking to see what it will be for us in our home country. You see I am still on the go, and I report to you today that I am better. This old country has contributed to me and the bugs are being chased out, and I have just been in good company. Last week I was in big company. I was the guest of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, and at CITY CAMPAIGN WARMING UP. The city campaign is getting to the boiling point and by this time next week the political pot will reach the white heat with its various colorings. The mayor race seems to be between three candidates and at this stage of the game, it looks like its a fifty-fity go between "Spark Plug" and "Sassie Sussie" or "High Seven." There are pastimers in the race who may work the pole so closely that some of these old trackers may go lame in the stretch and take third place. There is a bunch of good ones to show up in old harness and a few youngsters in new harness who claim the blood is there, if not the experience. In some spots the track is heavy for one and light for the other; rough for one and smooth for the other, so its hard to judge which one will hold out to the end, as it is for a bunch of airplanes plying the air in a thousand mile race. The commissioners of good, bad and indifferent, as some say, are all in to win—but they can't—are falling in any old place, and with any old combination, where picking looks good. Look out for the eleventh hour parachute jumpers. Candidates for members of the Board of Education are too numerous to mention. With two of the old board members trying to vindicate themselves, that resigned last year on account of high blood pressure in their spinal column, after a diagnosis of their case were taken. Mrs. J. F. Griffin, the wife of Rev. Griffin, has been suffering for several days with a severe attack of tonsilitis. She is some better at this writing. the same time there were guests of the same woman Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Dr. Julia H. P. Coleman of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Addie Dickerson of Philadelphia, Pa., Miss Amie Chadrick of Atlanta, Ga., and for several days I was the only male man in the crowd, and it is not surprising to you if I should tell you that I was hungry all the time, for it was hard for me to eat with all them women looking at me. Well, later, the other men came along, President Nathan B. Young, Dr. I. Garland Penn., Dr. Hills, from Jacksonville and perhaps some others. Then in addition to this, I have been to the Royal Ponciana hotel, the guest of Joseph S. McLane, the headwaiter, and believe me honey I had some fine treatment from those men. It was worth while to be in all this luxury and good time, and then beat it on to another part of the busy world. Mr. McLane is one of the finest men in this country, and is a credit to the race. He is a heavy contributor to the things which mean better for his race. There are but few like him in this country. He is headed for Saratoga in the summer, and I have an invitation to visit Saratoga again and see them run. Will you go (Continued on Page 4.) BIG SHARE DRIVE A $21,000 SHARE DRIVE.

Bouldin, Mgr. J. F. Griffin, Pastor THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER GRAND MASTER. BROADNAX VISITS THE CRAFTS IN COLORADO, WYOMING AND NORTHWEST. Finds The Lodges In Excellent Working Condition. Many Receptions In Honor of Grand Master. Rev. J. A. Broadnax, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful King Solomon's Grand Lodge F. A. A. York Masons, has just returned from a visit to the lodges in Colorado, Wyoming and the Northwest and says he found the craft and Court in fine working order. The reception given the Grand Master by the lodges and courts and the many banquets served in his honor, were that of a king, so Kansas City needs to wake up or take second place and that does not belong to the craft of the metropolis of Kansas. John S. Morris, D. D. Y. M. at Boulder, Colo., is leaving no stone unturned in seeing the York Rite Masons succeed in the west, says the Grand Master. At Eaton, Colo., only a few of our racial group reside there, but all are alive in the work and a bigger hearted people cannot be found. At Cheyenne another warm reception was found with many splendid high class citizens. Among the leaders were Rev. Dr. Thornton, pastor of the A. M. E. Church and his cultured and refined wife. Mr. Wm. Jones, a York Mason of the highest type and also, Rev. Mr. Baker and son, Philip, are men of thought and influence for the craft and real citizenship. At Caspar, Wyoming, found the craft, made up principally of young men, who are active in the work and also the Court of young women and with alertness of both, making Casper a real live wire, in York Masonry. All are looking forward to the Grand Lodge, which is to convene in Denver, Colo., August 28, 29, 30 and 31, 1923. The Grand Master will visit Omaha, March 20, Lincoln, March 21, Yankton, March 22, Sioux Falls, S. D., March 24. All crafts govern yourselves accordingly. J. A. BROADNAX, G. M. It is said of Mr. Roy Garvin, the assistant secretary of the Gordon for mayor headquarters, is making the best argument and most logical persuasions for his man, than any speaker in the campaign. Roy is a young student of Washburn College of Topeka, and a graduate of Summer High School of this city. He has fine-parents who live at 815 Everett RALLY AT PLEASANT GREEN The Pleasant Green Baptist church, Rev. Geo. McNeal pastor, will start a financial rally March 20, and close Sunday, March 25th. He will have preaching each evening during the week by ministers from the Missouri side, and on Sunday afternoon. Pastors, their choirs and members are to be present and take part in a program. Rev. J. F. Griffin of First A. M. E. church, is announced to deliver the sermon. ER Number 31 E. CHURCH CAKER FOUNDER'S DAY STUDENTS RALLY—REDS WIN. New York Club Leads. Wilberforce, O., March 14.—The annual effort for Wilberforce University which culminates on Founders' Day each year, was brought to a very successful close on Saturday, February 24. President Gregg suggested a departure from the usual drive, which was somewhat of an experiment but which after all worked out wonderfully well. Instead of breaking up the class work with numerous entertainments, only four were held during the month of February and the Founders' Day drive was made more of an individual effort on the part of the students, who responded enthusiastically and loyally. The student body was divided into two sections. The Red Roses under the leadership of Professor Charles Smith and the White Roses under Professor R. N. Pyrtle. Kings and Queens were chosen for each section, Mr. Bush Emanuel was elected King of the Reds and had for his Queen, Miss Myrtle Marthel. Mr. R. I. McGee was King of the Whites and Miss Mariorie Scales Queen. Each royal house had its Princes, Dukes, Princesses and Duchesses, and a royal battle was fought between the rival factions to report the highest amount for "Old Shorter." Saturday culminated the drive for finance. School was suspended for the day and programs rendered at the three services held in Galloway auditorium. In the morning at 10 a.m. the following program was rendered: Hymn, Rev. S. P. Hill; Invocation, Chaplin T. G. Steward; Anthem by the choir; Scripture Lesson, G. F. Woodson; addresses by Dr. M. C. Wright of Detroit, Mich., and Bishop J. H. Jones of Wilberforce; invocation, Rev. McLinn. In the afternoon Dr. G. W. Beckton of Zion Baptist Church, Xenia delivered the principal address, and numbers were rendered by the Male Quartette; In the evening the R. O. T. C. Band under direction of Prof. M. S. Stewart gave a fine band concert. After the band concert President Gregg read the reports from Alumni and friends. The largest amount reported by a single organization away from the "Force" came from the New York Wilberforce Club. Of special note were the reports of the Sacrificite Club, composed of the science department of the academy fostered by Miss Tressie Clark, and the Oklahoma Club. The two armies then reported and it was found that the Red Rose Army under Prof. C. S. Smith had raised the largest amount. Thereupon the triumphant King Emanuel and Queen Myrtle were crowned amidst the shouts and cheers of their followers. The singing of the Red Rose National Anthem closed the exercises of the day and noted the end of the drive. Thus closed one of the most successful Founders' Day drives in the history of Wilberforce.

The little Sunday school “Brigade,” were at their post of duty according to schedule, owing to the inclemant weather. I think it very conimendable indeed for the little folk, valiant soldiers indeed. Their lesson was beautifully recited and questions were readily answered when asked by Brother John Thomas, teacher. At 11 a, m. the pastor, Rev. Cook, jread a beautiful lesson to us, and be- ing the speaker for the day, chose St. John, 3d chapter, 35-36 verses, in- clusive, “Since God has given every thing in His Son’s hand.” Rev. Cook gave us to know the only way to ob- tain salvation is to do exactly what Christ has commaded us, ete. | ‘The sermon was excellent and ‘masterfully delivered and should we do according as he so earnestly en- treated us, we shall surely live and not die, ‘At 8 o'clock in the evening the rain was continuously falling and a few gathered to hear God’s word. Rev. J. P. F. Stuckey, pastor Richmond, Mo., was chosen to break the bread of life to us. Brother Cook read us a lesson from the 2nd Chapter of Luke. Brother Stuckey talked from the life of Moses, and was wonder- fully enjoyed. Would that more had been out to hear him.

PLATFORM: "A SQUARE DEAL TO ALL" Labor is the source of all wealth, home labor should and shall be employed so long as there is plenty of it, qualified and willing to do the required work. Should I be elected, I will be the Mayor of all the people, regardless of race, creed or color. I will know what our tax moneys are used for and let the people know, or know the reason why. I am opposed to creating a new job every time some ward politician wants a job at the expense of the people and the City. I will use my best endeavors to induce new business to come into our City and permanently locate here, and outside capital will come on a fair basis to all concerned. I am strongly in favor of keeping our expenditures within the bounds of our income. We are continually advising each individual to keep out of debt. Let's apply the same method to our City affairs. Get out of debt and then watch your taxes take a tumble. downward. OUR SOLDIER BOYS. The boys that shoulder thetect our homes and country, so we have to offer. Money can have done.

Knowing that an adequate street car system is one of our greatest enterprises and should be eliminated from politics, I believe it can be done in a business and professional way, by the people and the Company agreeing on a fair and equitable basis of a franchise, and upon approval and signing of said franchise, which is in simple language a written contract, signed, sealed and delivered to the Company, and have the Company furnish good and sufficient bond that the Company will carry out its franchise to the letter or forfeit its rights of said franchise. Thus the people will be protected from every standpoint, and the Company can and will devote its time and money to complying with the terms of its franchise instead of having to play politics in our City elections. This system once tried will never be allowed to be revoked by the people or the Company.

(First published March 2, 1923.) J. O. MIDNIGHT Now let me trace myself. I got back to Jacksonville, Fla., from Daytona headed for this place. I reached from town about 8:30 and left at 12:01. Getting in town I met W. H. Robinson, promoter and general manager of the Negro National Educational and Industrial Exposition, and I am sure you have not heard of this yet. It is to be held in Jacksonville, Fla., from August 7 to 28, 1923. It is a great undertaking and the whole race has been invited to take part, and it is worth the time, for we will be doing the proper thing if we participate in this great enterprise. We have reached the place where we can do big things and we are going to do them or tell God the reason why. The general commissioners are John W. Jones, Jacksonville, H. H. Williams, Hasting, James Polkinghorne, Pensacola; D. W. Perkins, Jacksonville; J. H. Stays, Fernandina; B. V. Gonzalez, Key West; J. A. Colyer, Orlando; C. H. Bolden, Jacksonville and George P. Norton, Tampa. This will be an opportunity for the race to assemble together from all parts of the United States, and let the world see what has been done, and to see that we are doing more than mere beating time. It will be a family reunion, so to speak. They will come together in brotherly love. The leaders the doers are called up to do, and to show their doing. What have you produced? What have you done that the world should know and see? Now is your time, and I hope that we are going to work together in this matter. This matter has been brought to the attention of the city authorities, and they have with the mayor indorsed, the Duval County commissioners, United States Senators from Florida, Members of the Cabinet, Railroad Commissioners, and other high ups, and since this is true it is to be a success. I was very much impressed with Mr. Robinson, and will have something to say about the affair later on. Well, at 12 o'clock at noon, found me on the road to the city where I am. We got aboard of the Seaboard Air Line fast iron horse, and believe me that old fellow did make some time. He acted like he was going to run his fool brains out, and I don't blame him. I was in company with Dr. Thomas W. Carter and Rev. J. S. Murray, D. D., and was delighted to be with these high ups in the A. M. E. church. I had a box lunch and they ordered one more eating dinner from the eating car. Dr. Carter gave me a part of his Spanish mackerel direct from Spain, and I sent it to Italy. This town was reach about 8:30, and here I am in town. J. O. MIDNIGHT. (Concluded next week.) LEAVENWORTH NEWS. By Miss Maude McGoodwin. Mr. Walter Arch has returned to Kansas City after-having been in our city for about two months, during the serious illness of his mother, Mrs. Young of Second and Logan streets. Mrs. Stella Carson and family are very glad to have with them again their son and broth, Fred Carson, who returned last week from a long stay in Chicago. They are also proud of the fact that Fred is the possessor of an automobile, purchased during his absence from home. The Apron Ball, given by the Spenser's Orchestra on Thursday night, March 8, at Masonic hall, was largely attended. Everyone reported as having a very nice time. We are very glad that Miss Lulu Carson and Miss Alice Moore are able to be back at the high school this week, owing to the fact that they fought a hard battle against the La Gripe during the past week. Mrs. Ben Allen of 908 Pottawatomie street is visiting Mrs. Maggie Allen Tucker, her daughter, of Kansas City, who is ill with the "flu." Word has been received by some friends of Mrs. Helen Thompson of Pittsburg, Pa., formerly of this city, who was Miss Helen Dudley before her marriage in October to Mr. Thompson, that she is getting along fine. She like the new country very well. An old time "Cake Walk" the first to be held in Leavenworth for 25 years, will be staged by the U. B. F. lodge at the Sales Pavilion on Friday evening, March 23d. There will be a number of out of town dancers to participate in the event, and they are as follows: Dave Jackson and Miss O'Neal of Seattle, Wash.; Wm. Martin and Miss Leola Brown of Henderson, Ky.; John Howard and Miss Lora Franklin of Denver, Colo. Music will be furnished by the George William Orchestra from Oklahoma City, Okla. Officers of the lodge are: Richard Nichols; master; Wm. Crawford, secretary; and Chas. Baker, W. H. Halezebridge, THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Miss Mattie Lina who has been on the sick list for the past three weeks, is able to be out again. The play, "Daddy," which is to be presented by the colored students of the local high school is now on a good headway toward completion. The theme of the story is centered around Nell Brown, who is about to be announced into society. Daddy, the role of Mr. Brown, Nell's father, doesn't like the idea of his only daughter growing up; however, he finally consents. Then after the announcement party, Nell becomes the belle of the season and she is graced at all parties and social gatherings, and during the intervals she receives proposals. Nell does not like to receive so many proposals, because she is really in love with Paul Chester, a young doctor, the nephew of Mrs. Amelia Chester, a very wealthy widow. Nell tells her troubles to Daddy and he tacks a scarlet fever sign on the house long enough to stop the proposal offerers from calling until Nell declares her engagement to Paul Chester. The play is to be staged on Saturday evening, March 24 at the high school auditorium. The characters are: Mr. Brown (Daddy), played by Jess Wilson; Mrs. Brown (Nell's mother), Carrie Johnson; Ted Brown (Nell's brother), Wm. Allen; Nell Brown, Katherine Jones; Mrs. Chester, Maude McGoodwin; Paul Chester, Verdel Baker; Jane (the cook) Romaine Branch; Thompson (the houseman), Chas. Guilbert. The Pastors' Aid Club was entertained on Friday evening, March 9, by Miss Elsie Smith. After the business part of the meeting a very social hour was spent by the members and refreshments were served while music was played. Mrs. Carrie Owens, who has been in Leavenworth attending to her grandmother, Mrs. Young, who is ill and has been for the greater part of the winter, has returned to Kansas City and she intends to go from there to Omaha. Mr. Winston Woods and Mr. Solas Lina have gone to Topeka, Kansas, where they have acquired work for the summer. The pastor, Rev. Collins, and members of the St. James C. M. E. church, were very glad to have with them the Rev. Bouldin Sunday evening to assist with the rally. Rev. Bouldin who is known throughout the state, and who is at present pastor of the C. M. E. church in Kansas City, Mo., is a very able speaker. We all appreciate his kindness to our response.

The Jackson Concert Co., gave a musicale for Mrs. Willis' club at Metropolitan Church with some classic songs. The folk songs were very amusing. Mr. S. H. Randolph is in off of his mail run. Alpha Art Club meets this Friday at Mrs. Lizzie Browns, Walnut Blvd., and Greely avenue. Mrs. Wm. Rice on Nebraska avenue, is somewhat indisposed this week. Miss Mabel Jackson and Prof. Speers had charge of Lincoln Night School and made success. Prof. Curry and his corps of night school teachers led the pupils to a higher plane. Rev.

A lovely course was-served and a lovely time enjoyed by all present. CHICAGO MAN SPEAKS (Continued from Page 1.) the white boys walked in, and they have been ever since. We have held the position of Pullman porters, for years, and the railroads have given us porter jobs, jobs as firemen, and we have never struck, but go right on doing our work and doing it well. "We thank God that there lived in this world that great man, Mr. Flagler, who has helped many a man to rise. Boys have worked on the East Coast in hotels and on railroads, while in schools and colleges we are filling important positions, professional and otherwise. He has given them through his wonderful skill opportunities, and while he has changed worlds he lives in the hearts of the American people today. Joseph S. McLane, the headwaiter, a man of influence and worth, has been brought to life as the result of Mr. Flagler. He spent his life for others. He realized that he was his brother's keeper. "Where is Abel, thy Brother?" never fell upon the ears of a guilty and had more meaning than should come home in every one of you men who make up this group, with your superior advantages and trained minds, for in this group are men from some of the best institutions in the country, until every one of us cry out in the language of the faithful apostle Paul: 'Oh, wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of death.' A kind and good providence makes us responsible for our brother, in order that mankind shall be elevated. A bitter, blighting prejudice and hatred chains us to the body of death, for a different reason, but overruled by Providence to work out exceeding great good. All the influence of the yeast of civilization, by hatred, burning curse is driven down to the bottom of the mass of negro life, until in God's even time, the whole mass becomes permeated with righteous industry and frugality, and it all shall rise heavenward. "Prejudice is but the cylinder of steam trunk which confines the expanding water, until the particles of steam have accumulated power to drive the mighty engine with its load to higher manhood, to civilization and to God. Industrial intelligence plus intelligent industry must be the lever by which all this shall be done; upon a foundation of racial respect, for no race or individual can rise in the world which does not emphasize its racial or individual identity. The man who does not emphasize the importance of this soon becomes insane and recognizes himself as anybody but himself. "Manhood is needed, not color, not hair, but manhood I say. The manhood that but yesterday walked side by side, losing sight of color, on the battlefields of France and defended Old Glory, brought home victory and won democracy for the world. A manhood with patriotism and love for country, home and God. Manhood loyal to the Stars and Stripes, and you represent that class that would walk into death as freely as you would to a Christmas dinner to defend the flag. I am talking now to men whose race has never produced a traitor nor the assassin of a President of the United States, a manhood that knows but one country, one flaf, one president—each belong to us and for each we are willing to die. I am talking to men who have shown their manhood, their loyalty, their patriotism from Boston Commons, Bunker Hill, to Carazals in Mexico and the bloody battlefields of France, nad are still willing to show their love when the time comes to strike down an enemy or foe whether at home or abroad. "Lynching, burning, mob violence will never discourage us, for we believe in God and the God of all nations will defend His own." Dr. Stewart made a health talk to the men in the evening. He makes annual visits to the hotels.—Jacksonville Journal. PUBLIC SALES PAY POSTMAN We have purchased 122,000 pairs of U. S.
