White, Assistant Secretary of N. A. A. C. P. Outlines Successes and Obstacles. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke to about 700 men and women at the First A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He spent a great deal of time giving information concerning the fight for the Dyer Anti-lynching bill which was defeated by a filibuster in the last Congress. He called attention to the fact that many colored people over the country became very much discouraged over this temporary defeat. There should be no reason for a lack of hope on the part of colored people, when we consider the fact that several great movements took a period of years from 30 to 100 years or more to reach a victory. For example, there was the movement to secure for women the equal suffrage with men. This was a fight of many years. Success came only after repeated struggles. Prohibition came only after failure after failure. Why should we throw up our hands in despair at the frist show of opposition? "We are just beginning to fight," said Mr. White. Thet campaign for the anti-lynching bill may be considered a success from one standpoint. Never before in the history of the nation has there been so much information concerning lynching been spread among white people who were entirely ignorant of the facts in the situation. This knowledge of the evil must necessarily precede the sentiment against lynching. Continued on page 2 ONE NIGHT C AND D The Kansas City, Kansas Le MONDAY'S PRIMARY RESULTS.

March 30, 1923 THE DANCE COMPANY HON. C. M. WHITE, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE AMERICAN WOODMEN, DIES Denver, Colo., March 30.—Succumbing to the effect of an operation for cancer of the stomach, Honorable C. M. White, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen, died recently at St. Joseph hospital, this city. Mr. White had been for some time suffering from the ill effects of his malady but not until his recent return to Denver after an extended itinerary in the East did he decide to submit to an operation. With Mr. White's death the race has lost an ardent worker for the economic freedom of Negroes, the American Woodmen is deprived of a leadership which has brought it from an organization with meager assets of seven thousand dollars to one with assets of one million dollars or more, and not only has Denver, but the nation, lost a leading citizen. Mr. White came to Denver in 1910 to assume active control of the affairs of the American Woodmen and Hon. C. M. White shortly thereafter established his residence here. The major part of his time since then has been spent in traveling over the twenty-five states in which Woodmen local organizations exist, devoting his time and energy to the extension of woodcraft. During these trips he had established an enviable reputation as a public speaker, possibly appearing before as many as two thousand audiences. During this period he has also gained a wellearned reputation as an organizer, having developed a field force of nearly one thousand men and women and not only do these men and women, but a host of friends made in his frequent trips mourn his loss. Mr. White is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minnie White, and two children, John, who has been attending Lincoln University, and Frances, who has been attending Fisk University. The funeral was held from Shorter A. M. E. Church, Sunday, March 25, STURDLE ALONG "SHUFFLE ALONG." The record breaking sensational musical comedy, "Shuffle Along," which took New York, Boston and Chicago by storm, and registered an emphatic hit wherever presented, will be the attraction at the Grand the- ADVOCATE Mrs. J. F. Griffin Dies After Two Weeks' Illness-Funeral Largely Attended Many Visiting Ministers and Friends .Attend. The community was greatly shocked last Thursday night, the twenty-second, when the news was broadcasted over the phones, that Mrs. Nancy Elizabeth Griffin, the noble wife of Rv. J. F. Griffin, had passed away at 10:20 o'clock that evening. Just two weeks ago or March 8, Mrs. Griffin entertained at the parsonage, three of the church clubs, following that evening she developed Tonsillitis, which grew to the degree of having to be lanced two or three times for relief and was doing very well, when rheumatism set in. While it was known Mrs. Griffin was a sick woman, no one realized the seriousness until the day she passed away. Mrs. Griffin was born in Macon, Ga., February 28, 1863, and was married to Rev. James F. Griffin February 2, 1892, at Brunswick, Ga. Rev. Griffin was appointed to the First A. M. E. church of this city about six years ago, coming from Mobile, Alabama. Accompanying him was his wife and adopted daughter, Alma. It did not take long to get acquainted with the family and to know them and especially Mrs. Griffin and the longer she stayed here the more did she grow into the hearts of the people. She was loved by those who knew her and was an ideal minister's wife and lovable companion. She was a hard and conscientious worker for the church and humanity and never seemed to tire or become discouraged in anything she put her hands to. While the husband, Rev. Griffin, will feel more keenly the loss of this noble character, but this whole community will be effected by her passing. At the time of her death she was conference treasurer of the Mite Missionary Branch of the Nebraska Annual Conference. A beautiful christian life has gone. Mrs. Griffin was greatly devoted and interested in her niece and adopted daughter, Alma, who is spending her first year at Tabor, college, Tabor, Ia. The funeral was held Monday at 1 o'clock p. m., in the church. Funeral services were: Hymn No. 611, Dr. Owens; Invocation, Dr. Peck; Song, "Come ye Disconsolate," Dr. Osborne; Scripture Lesson, Dr. Barksdale; Song "Sleep on Beloved," Dr. Wittenberg; Obituary, Rev. Payne; Sermon, Dr. Isaacs; Song "Nearer My God to Thee," Dr. Boulden; Remarks, Rev. Knight; Announcements of Condolence, Dr. Ransom; Master of Ceremonies, Rt. Rev. W. T. Vernon. The casket was not opened at the services as it laid in state from Saturday evening until Monday noon, when at 1:30 P. M., and conducted with Woodmen rites and ceremonies. Prominent Woodmen from all parts of the country attended the funeral and paid their last respects to this noble character, their Chief. atre commencing Sunday, April 1.

The floral offerings were by the score, coming from far and near and were large and beautiful. Both choirs, senior and junior furnished the music. Every seat down and upstairs were filled and many standing. Announcements only were made of the dozens of telegrams and condolences with the exception of a telegram from Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, the presiding bishop of this district, and one from the officers and members of St. Andrew church, Memphis, Tenn., which were read. Dr. Griffin built and pastored this church and people for several years. Interment was made in West Lawn cemetery. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of a long list of friends in the loss of their dearest one on earth; also the Advocate and staff extends their sympathy in their hour of sorrow.

Adv. J. O. WRITES FROM ATHENS, BUT NOT FULL OF GREECE Athens; Georgia, March 30.—Of course you know that this is not Athens full of Greece, but it is Athens just the same, and here is where the white folks of Georgia have their big University and here is where they are teaching them how to put science and farming together and it is being taught to young white men and women alike. This state is putting its thousands into education for our white folks, but then about this race of mine, they have not had a vision, but if they expect my people to remain here and help to make this the garden spot of the world they had better help us out of illiteracy and ignorance. When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week, I was in Jacksonville, Florida, and there I was in the midst of brain and culture for I was attending the East Florida African Methodist Episcopal conference presided over by Bishop John Hurst, D. D., the man who put Florida on the map. I had an Old Aunt Dolly time there and when the conference closed I left there Monday morning for another part of the world. Sunday morning I was at Bethel Constitutional Baptist church, the institution of which Rev. Dr. John E. Ford is pastor. He was there and heard me preach a sermon, but his (Continued on Page 4.)

Let a man be converted at a church service and there is not much of a stir, but let a resident be convicted of some crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the community to the other. How thoughtlessly unkind we sometimes are when neighbors of our suffer misfortune. Troubles are bound to come to us all in some shape or form and what we say about our friends and acquaintances today may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respector of persons. We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways when we should be wATCHing our own step. What folks say of one another sometimes hurts more than anything could have done. News, either good or bad, grows and becomes exaggerated and distorted with peddling. When the news is good it makes no material difference how it is exaggerated or distorted—it can never do anyone positive harm. But bad news, given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin upon people who certainly are not deserving of a punishment beyond the penalty of their mistake. More charity for others will mean more charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take a keener delight in reporting something good of some person than something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destructive. Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news," stop and think a moment. See if you can't think of something good to say in place of it. The chances are ten to one that you can and that you will. Mr. Lindsay Taylor, who has been quite sick for some days, was well enough to be out to church Sunday. BIG MASS MEETING (Continued from Page 1.) which in turn will finally be the most potent factor in its destruction. To this extent we may say the fight was successful. Mr. White also outlined the cases of the men, 79 in all, who were wronged in the Arkansas riots. He showed that the decision of the United States Supreme court in these cases would be of great significance in similar cases in the future not only because of Negroes but also upon the general morale of the country. Mr. White urged that Negroes spend some time studying the acts of certain men in Congress for the purpose of voting more wisely in the future. "In general," he said, "Negroes are no longer following blindly political parties but are centering their attention instead upon the man, letting their support be determined more by actual deeds rather than by affiliation with a particular party. The effectiveness of the many telegrams sent from Kansas and other branches all over the country, urging action on the bill before Congress was referred to. He also called attention to several instances where the National Association had created an impression because of numbers. "If we can be of such force with 100,000 members what could we do with a million or two million Negroes lined up pushing together for the same cause?" asked the speaker. At the close of the meeting, 22 men and women pledged a gift of $25.00 to the organization. Others renewed their membership at $5.00. Thus the meeting was a successful starter for the spring drive for members. William Boone, Mrs. Childs, Roy Garvin, Colonel and Majors of the drive respectively were present and were much encouraged by the showing of interest in the future plans of the organiza- THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A.

The Sabbath day, March 25, was bright and balmy, compared with the previous Sunday and a great concourse of worshippers and church goers filled First church at the 11 o'clock service. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of the Parsons district, filled the pulpit and delivered one of his excellent sermons to an appreciative people. Three joined the church. Dean Jones, assistant pastor, delivered the message at the evening service to a nice audience. Dean Jones is a logical speaker and his sermons are always helpful. The Sabbath school was well attended and the lesson was imparted to the pupils with intelligence and the spirit of its teachings. The Sunday school will give their Easter program Sunday afternoon and evening. The evening program, taking the place of the regular service. The Senior and Junior Allen leagues are having fine meetings every Sunday evening. The death of Mrs. Griffin brought a gloom and heaviness over the church as never before. She was a dear woman and loved by everyone. Her leave will be missed by both church and friends. The entire membership of the church goes out to her husband, Dr. Griffin and daughter, Alma, in their loss and sad hour of bereavement. There will be special Easter services Sunday and the choirs will render special music. Come out and hear the word of God preached and the resurrection of "The Christ." A church with a heart. This mass meeting was only one of the many meetings held to hear Mr. White. He spent the entire week with the local branch, giving valuable information for the National Conference of the Association, which convenes in this city August 29 to September 4. Other groups addressed by Mr. White were: Committees on Conference, heads of fraternal bodies, Women's Federation of Clubs, and on Tuesday he spoke to a specially invited group of white citizens at the Chamber of Commerce. On Wednesday he spoke to the pupils of Sumner high school, and of Western University. Mr. Walter F. White, probably more useful information to the city than any other speaker on racial problems. He has had a remarkable career, serving as he has in special investigations of riots and lynchings in all parts of the South, placing his life in danger for the cause. He is a graduate of Atlanta University and has done special study in the College of the City of New York, is a member of the Civic Club of New York and of the American Sociological Society He has contributed articles to the leading papers of New York and Chicago, and to such magazines as The Nation and The Survey.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, March 25 was an ideal Sabbath, and many people assembled at this house of God to worship. Pastor Bronson, who can preach some of the greatest sermons ever heard, was in a fine spirit for preaching. His subject was: "Jesus, the World's Savior." He spoken of Paul, who always talked about the grace of God through Jesus Christ, saving sinners. He said in part: "We want to be made to 'know' that we are sinners in God's sight, and that Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Today so many live off of so much hot air, and churches have the moving picture shows and theaters to contend against in getting crowds. We need a church today like the apostles had; said athletics, science, art, law and medicine can not save man; only God's love and the blood of Jesus can save us if we accept the plan of salvation." All enjoyed the sermon. Many joined the church as the choir sang "Jesus Paid It All." Mr. Comagors made a talk for the N. A. A. C. P. meeting. At 3 p. m. our pastor preached at Pleasant Green church. At 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson preached the greatest sermon he has ever preached here on "Christ Jesus Came Into the World to Save Sinners." He has preached many great sermons here, but this one was the climax, thus far. He seemed to have a double portion of God's spirit, and many shouted aloud as the spirit gave them utterance. In Easter week we begin revival. Next Sunday, April 1, Easter, the clubs will report their money raised to start on finishing the basement and getting pews. Those not in clubs can give their pro rata if they choose, and it will be according to tithing in Bible times. Come to this church Easter Sunday and hear the Sunday school's program, the choir's special Easter music, the B. Y. P.

He gave us good, wholesome, nutritious and digestible food and held the interest of everyone present. I wish we had more men like him. I know the K. of P. lodge could use more men like him, as well as the York Masons. The Grand Lodge is to be congratulated for securing the services of a live wire. The W. M. and M. A.

The children were at their best. They are learning more and more that it is essential to learn of the Christ child, and his wonderful power. They are a splendid band of workers. Eleven a. m. This is the hour designated for Divine services. Lesson read by Rev. J. P. F. Stuckey, pastor at Richmond, Mo., Hebrew, 1st chapter, entire. Rev. A. S.

At 3 p. m. we gathered back to the church in response to the call of Rev. Mayfield. Rev. James, pastor Sixth Street church, Kansas City, Kansas, and Rev. J. Farr, pastor of the Church of the Living God, Missouri, were chosen to address us at this hour, and to tell the truth absolutely, both speakers set the house on hallowed fire. Eight p. m. This marks the final close of the Rally, Rev. Mayfield chose to entertain us with these words, "The Church of the Living God." He wonderfully set up the church, placed it on a solid foundation grand, where the winds may blow and the storm may beat but the church falls not, because it is built on a solid foundation which Jesus Christ himself being called the chief Corner Stone.

DORSEY GREEN, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published March 2, 1923.) wife did not join in the chorus. For some reason she did not come down to hear me preach. I think she was afraid that I might preach her husband out of his church, or she did not like to hear me. Something was wrong. But I am not here to talk about that, for them people gave me some real sure enough money. Sunday night I had the pleasure of being with the Rev. Dr. W. C. Brown, president of the Baptist state convention and pastor of a Baptist church. They gave me a great big reception, and I was glad to be there with them. When I got through with them I just made the hike out of town, and will return to Jacksonville, April 10, to be the guest of the Union Grand Lodge of Masons, and you will just listen for that Masonic letter, for I am going to tell all about that goat business. Now you want to know where I have been and what I have been doing. Dr. Thomas W. Carter, got up Monday morning bright and early and toted me in his lemonade automobile car carriage to the stable where I was to get aboard of the Seaboard Air Line carriage headed for the North. I met many of the waiters from Palm Beach, returning to other quarters for the summer. I rode to Savannah, Ga., got off there, and found Mrs. Willie G. Hill, the grand receiver of deposits for the grand court of Calanthe, in her Studebaker lemonade automobile car carriage to tote me around in Savannah, and then her palatial home where I was to have dinner and spend the night. Bright and early Tuesday morning we were up, had some fine strawberries, and Mrs. Hill had her horse hitched up, and her foot on the gas button, and we were speeding for the Seaboard stable. I got on and made it to Americus, and this is one of the cities I have been before a long time ago. I found the Rev. M. A. Fountain waiting at the stable to receive me. Believe me, he gave a man my trunks to tote up, but reminded me that I would have to tote myself to his home. It was uphill most of the way and you must believe me when I tell you when I reached his house black ink was just pouring out of me. When I was within two blocks of his house, he wanted to get some way for me to ride, but I objected to this. Mrs. Fountain told me to be at home, and I was at home for two days. I did not go out of the house until night when I went to the church, which was just across the street. They had classmeeting and then a meeting for men only. I enjoyed this meeting so very much. The next day we visited the schools, the Masonic orphan home, at the head of which is Prof. S. S. Humbert and his wife. The Americus Institute was just too busy to receive us. I just went right on and at night went to church, and then to the city and from there I found my way to the stable, left for Atlanta. I checked my trunk to this place, and sent the check under special delivery stamp to this place or Rev. W. A. Fountain, junior, the son of his father and his father is bishop. If you will step back a few weeks, you will find that I told you that the A. M. E. bishops played checkers, and there were some movings going on. I told you about Bishop Fountain, jumping from California to the king's row, or in other words, he was put over Alabama, where there was to be done a man's job, and he was the man to put it over. To my mind Bishop William Alfred Fountain is one of he greatest men of this country. He is a great preacher, he is a great student, he is a great leader of men, and he knows how to lead men to success. It was fortunate that he was placed on the bench. In Alabama, ministers were reaching for the throats of each other. They were split as wide open as any Baptist church, so to speak, and all on the school question. Payne and Bethel. Some men wanted to close out Payne and take Bethel college, Montgomery and some wanted to reject Bethel and stick to Payne. I tell you they were into it over head. But Bishop Fountain was placed in charge, and now you want to know what happened? The first shot out of the box he got them together, had a real get-together meeting, and they are now walking side by side with God and Bishop Fountain in the lead. They have united the two schools under one board, the university idea will prevail, and now they are joining David in saying "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." This bishop possesses wonderful magnetism, and he is destined to lead in all things. God had something to do with his being placed on the bench, and I believe that there is a specific work for him to do. He is doing the will of God. We need more like him. I had the pleasure of spending a night at his home, in order to study his home life, his devotion to wife and children and his THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE WEST END PHARMACY Drexel 2556--Phones--Drexel 1759 We have in stock a full line of Easter Supplies, Easter Rabbits, Chickens, Baskets, Candy Eggs and Dye.

So help me God. service to his church and God. A trip was made out to Marietta, and then back to the city where one night was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shanks, and then on to this place. Rev. W. A. Fountain's watch had the mumps, or some other disease, hence he was not on hand when I stepped off of the carriage, but soon he was on hand, toted me to the parsonage in one of them automobile car carriages, and here I am in that parsonage of the Furst African Methodist Episcopal church writing this letter. They have had me out for a ride; and believe me this is one more town, for once there lived here Henry W. Grady, and you knew him personally I am sure. He is one southern white man who made the world know him. Dr. W. H. Harris, the physician and surgeon, and one of the leading men in the country, and who is also the grand secretary of the Improved Order of Good Samaritans. He is a busy man, yet he found time to come and tote us around in his automobile car carriage which was one of lemonade order. I saw much of the city, and concluded at the drugstore of Dr. W. P. Harris, a young man who is the son of his father, and who is congenial and a business like man of God, and a servant of the people. I am just now writing this letter and it is Saturday night. I am not through getting around, hence I will reserve much for my next letter. Rev. W. A. Fountain is a college graduate from Morris Brown University, with degree of Bachelor of Arts, and then he took his preaching business at the Northwestern in Evanston, Illinois. In 1919 he was sent to this place by Bishop J. S. Flipper, found the church down at the heels so to speak, for they were $10,000 in debt. He smiled at the debt, and said to the officers and members "come, let us unite and pull together and this little debt will be like children playing together in the street, and believe me when I tell you honey, that within fifteen months it was all paid, and then lot purchased, a beautiful seven room parsonage erected, one thousand dollars worth of pews have been put in the church and honey, the parsonage cost $5,000, including the lot, and within a few days from now they are going to pull off a rally, and will H. A. MENDENHALL, H. J. GROSSMAN, ALBRT MEBUS, WILLIAM ARENDS, E. H. BROWNE. get rid of the present debt which is just $1,400. That is going some, and with a leader like this he is bound to go to the front. He is just the son of his father with some improvements. Look out for him. Clear the track and let him run. About $15,000 raised since 1918, saying: nothing about the other money which have been raised and put out in various ways. God gives the young man a chance to do what thou hast put here for him to do. Get ready now for the National Race Congress, May 2, in Washington, D. C. I told you about it last week. J. O. MIDNIGHT.
