MAMMOTH STREET FESTIVAL FOR BENEFIT OF DOUGLASS HOSPITAL NEXT WEEK KANSAS Vol. IX J. O. DON'T THINK MUCH OF SOME PEOPLE IN ARKANSAS Bishop Wallace Treated Inhumanly New Orleans, La., June 6.—It strikes me that Arkansas is worse than h--l itself, and I think that one would have a better time with the devil than he would with some of them white folks down there in Arkansas, and I will bet you my head to a ginger cake that Bishop Wallace of the A. M. E. Zion church has thought all the cussing words ever made or manufactured or created. They came near landing him right square in heaven at Warren, Ark., a few days ago. It is an awful crime in the sight of some of them hellions down there to have been born on the dark of the moon, and if you come along you are sure to be mistreated, especially if it is some little two by cipher who happened to get in a good position where he comes in contact with a black man or woman. This little miscarriage of humanity happened to get a job as agent for one of the railroads in Warren and in charge of a depot. It seems that Bishop Wallace was waiting for a train and it was time for his royal highness to go to supper, and with an oath of the "cuss" word origin ordered the Bishop out, and this representative of the Lowly Nazarine told his highness that he was waiting for a train, and I am told that he struck the Bishop with a porker and another representative from h-l struck him with a chair, and the bishop like our Lord and Master, prayed "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He went on to a house, and soon the officer of—well I don't know what to call it appeared and placed the prelate under arrest and he was forced to go before a judge, just or unjust, who assessed a fine, but I think he did not have it to pay. Now, whereinthehel is this thing going to end? It is becoming a heluva do to do that we can't go to a railroad stable and wait there for the iron horse without being snatched up and carted off to jail or some other hell hole. Dear America, I love thee, and I want to ask you to protect me and mine, for we have died for thee and we stand ready to die again if necessary. We ask no special favors, just give us what belongs to us under the law. It is not necessary to make any more laws for the next thousand years to come, but execute what you have and I will be satisfied. It is only a question of a few days when I will have to make bear my breast to protect thee Old Glory, for it is being formed in the minds of some of our foreign friends to give us what "Patty gave the big drum." An insult to our flag is a personal insult to me, and if you don't believe it try it. I will strike down any man who insults my flag quicker than I will for a personal insult to me. Only a gentleman can insult me, but anything will try to trample our flag under feet. Walk on me but not on my flag. I am so glad that my Lord is the Lord that He is, and if He were not then it would be awful for some peo- (Continued on Page 3.) BARBER WANTED.

(Continued on Page 4.) NOTED WOMAN TO SPEAK. President of Woman's Federation Pays Visit to City. Miss Hallie Q. Brown will give an address at First A. M. E. church, Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, Friday evening, June 15, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There is probably no better known platform speaker today than Hallie Q. Brown. She has spoken to numerous audiences all over the country, and has been a prominent figure in nearly every organization that has M. Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Ohio An International Character undertaken racial or general uplift work. At the N. A. A. C. P. convention last June in Newark, N. J., there was a special evening for women's organizations. There were several speakers, white and colored, representing many and varied lines of work. But when Miss Brown had finished her address, the audience made a great demonstration of approval. It is safe to say that Hallie Q. Brown will make the speech of her life on this western trip and especially at this time, in view of the fact that this summer Kansas City, Kansas, will entertain the National Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. Miss Brown comes to Kansas through the effort of Mrs. Charles Childs, the head of the Federation in Kansas, and one of the Malors in the N. A. A. C. P. drive for members. Every colored person should make it a point to hear this noted speaker of the race. Kansas City will not have the opportunity again soon of listening to one who has contributed so much to American thought and to the advancement of the race. Remember the date and place. MRS. M. C.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. THE CIVIC LEAGUE "IN FLOWER" Venus, Mars and Sadle-ites. What's the matter, Uncle Ike? What's the matter? What's it all about? Fhat's it all er bout—don't you know what dat means? Perhaps you mean, Veni, vidi, vici. Which means: "I came, I saw, I conquered." Well,dat's zactly what I's tryin' ter tell you, what de Civic League done, done—it com-ed, saw-ed and konker-ed. The above is not overdrawn as to the matters and things accomplished by the League at its regular meeting Tuesday night. When it affected a reorganization on a business basis, and a goodly number of gentlemen, who have the welfare of the community at heart, placed more than fifty dollars on the table as an evidence of their intents and purposes. That fact alone, with the excellent remarks by a number of those present, made it entirely clear that the members intend to become factors in the body politic. And to see to it that nothing which is common to the highest and best in citizenship and which makes for the welfare of the community, shall in any wise be considered foreign to us. The new organization starts with bright hope and high aspiration, and with a strong determination that their work along all lines of civic, social and political endeavor shall be as good as the best. Unfortunately the lecture which was to have been delivered by the Rev. H. B. Bronson, was not given, but it will be delivered in the same rooms Tuesday evening, the 19th. The League really feels a pride in its undertaking and cordially invites the public to inspect their new quarters. Mr. John A. Hodge, Wm. H. Towers and I. F. Bradley, Jr., constitute the committee to solicit and collect membership fees. I. F. BRADLEY, President. ANDREW WILSON, Secy. CITY BRIEFFS AND IN SOCIETY Mr. and Mrs. Albert Miller announce the marriage of their niece, Miss Ruth Green to Mr. Moses Franklin, to take place sometime in June, so she will be a June bride. Mr. Dedman and Mr. Stafford of Hugo, Okla., are here stopping at Mrs. Grigsby's on Nebraska avenue. They expect to locate here. Professor Clark of Boston and manual teacher at the Industrial college, visited Metropolitan church Sunday. The Grand Court of Heroines of Jericho will meet next week at Metropolitan Temple, till June 14. Miss Lizzie Davis of Oklahoma, visited relatives while attending our schools' commencements and returned praising Kansas City, Kansas to the highest. Miss Marie Johnson, government stenographer at Prairie View, Texas, will attend summer school there, also. Mrs. Howard of the Soldiers' Widows' Home in Illinois, is visiting her brother, Mr. J. Dyson, at 940 Washington Blvd. Rev. Wayman Ward, who has been here since he gave the high school commencement address and intended to remain over the commencement this week, was suddenly called home at Colorado Springs, Colo., on the account of one of his children having the scarlet fever. His friends here that know the family so well hope nothing will be serious. J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor. Residence, 1111, North Eighth St. Residence Phone, Fairfax 2904 Alex. Jones, Assistant Pastor.

CHURCH NEWS The Sabbath morning brought one of the warmest days o f the season and was not only warm, but hot and sultry. But with the thermometer standing high, it did not seem to lessen the morning audience at First church. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered the message, taking his text from the Second Kings, subject: "Know Thyself a Man." His discourse was especially to the men, while a helpful lesson came out of it to the other sex. The argument of the minister was one of wonderful worth to everyone present and showed distinctly that God intended for man, not only be at the head of the family, but should be the strong tower spiritually of his home. At the close of the sermon the congregation was given a great treat by a male quartette known as "The Southern Melody Makers." They sang two numbers which merely lifted the vast audience out of their pews. Come again Southern Melody Makers. At 2 p.m. the Mosaic Templars had their Annual sermon, the church being filled with men and women of the order. Rev. J. F. Griffin delivered the sermon. The local Mite Missionary Society took the place of the evening service, having as their speaker, Mrs. W. T. Vernon, the wife of Bishop Vernon, who returned some months ago from their work in South Africa. Mrs. Vernon is a fluent speaker and gave one of the best talks on the needs of the natives and race of Africa that has been heard from one who has been there. Rev. A. M. Ward of Los Angeles, and former pastor of First church, worshipped with us Sunday morning and will preach at 11 a. m. Sunday. Come out and hear this ex-pastor. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E.

Royston, pastor of First Baptist church, held his semi-annual rally Sunday, June 3. He preached well in the morning and at 3 p. m. was reinforced by a number who came from Kansas City, Kansas in limousines. Most of them were from Metropolitan church. A quintet of former members of the senior choir, sang and Rev. H. B. Bronson preached a profound sermon on the text, "And Enoch walked with God," and the people gave vociferous spiritual utterances and shouts. One pretty anthem the quintet sang was "Oh, if I had wings of a Dove." Their singing was praised. Mrs. M. C. Matthews read an original poem and was highly complimented by the congregation and by Rev. Royston and Dr. Bronson. The Lawrence people served an excellent chicken dinner and part of the collection was $11 from the A. M. E. church, $20 from Metropolitan and $70 from the women of the church. At night more was expected; and they hoped to raise $500. Some who went to Lawrence (to visit Rev. Royston and First Baptist church) were: Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Johnson, Mrs. Fannie Moore, Mrs. S. Rollins, Rev. H. B. Bronson, Mr. E. Lake, Mrs. C. Rutledge, Mrs. A. Lake, Mrs. Nellie Ford, Mrs. V. Calhoun, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Nuttall, Mr. Carl Holmes and others in autos. Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Mrs. House and her sister, Mrs. Stevens and some others went on the interurban car. Rev. Johnson of the A. M. E. church in Lawrence, helped Rev. Royston in his rally. Mrs. I. Wood is visiting relatives in Lawrence. The Eastern Star chapters gave a joint reception for Mrs. Soanes, the Grand Matron, at K. T. hall. She gave a fine address and a program was rendered. And the lodges enjoyed the fine refreshments. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large number of members and friends attended service Sunday, June 3. The senior choir which, is the mainstay of the church, sang well. A beautiful new anthem was "I Will Praise Thee in Thy Glory." Pastor Bronson's text was "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the House of the Lord." He is a fine preacher and a great fighter in God's cause; and he started out contending for the church. His theme was "Philosophy of the Church." He said in part: "A man can't be much of a man of God unless he has courage." At 3 p. m. Dr. Bronson preached a wonderful sermon in Lawrence at the First Baptist church, from Gen. 5, 24. And Enoch walked with God, The Holy Spirit fell on the people like a rush of water and they gave utterance by shouting. At 8 p. m. Rev. Riggings, a young minister, preached quite well; and the Lord's supper was administered to hundreds and some came to be fellowshipped. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are doing fine and the Childrens' church on Saturday is making great progress. They were addressed by Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Wood, Mrs. M. C. Matthews and another lady. (Send your children to church. Saturday, too.) The Sewing Circle will give a bazaar Friday, June 15 at the church. Come. On next Sunday, June 10, Pastr Bronson will preach some more of his great sermons. Hear him. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. Please allow me space in your valuable paper to tell of the wonderful work being done by our church under the leadership of our worthy pastor and wife, Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Knight. We closed our third quarterly meeting and conference," Sunday, May 27. Our quarterly services began on Friday evening with "Love Feast," which was largely attended and the spirit of the Lord pervaded the service from beginning to end. The Rev. J. C. Hicks, our presiding elder, conducted the service in high class spiritual manner, which was pleasing and inspiring to all. Our Sunday services were supberb in every sense of the word. The church was filled to capacity both morning and evening. The Rev. Hicks preached two wonderful sermons and administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at each service. A larger number communed than ever in the history of Quinn chapel. We had one accession, and the quarterly contributions including quarterly envelopes, totaled One Hundred Ninety-Seven Dollars, Seventy Cents, the largest in any previous quarterly session. On Monday evening the presiding elder held the quarterly conference with another enthusiastic audience greeting him. The reports from all departments far exceeded all expectation. The reports showed that over $1,000,00 had been raised during the quarter, excluding the "Trustee's Rally Funds," which were not reported. The Presiding Elder was elated over the success of the work, counting it worth while. He very timely admonished the members to keep up the good work. The Reverend and wife have been with us only three months by appointment, but on account of the illness of Rev. Knight they were not able to be with us by two months of the quarter. Since their arrival they have not ceased to love and labor in the Master's cause. They have made many friends by their kind, interesting and affable manners, to know them is to love them. Quinn chapel and its people are proud of them and they are proving it by their work and co-operation with these people of God. Many thanks to the kind Bishop for sending us such models of christianity for our leaders. A BARGAIN. Fourteen-Room house for sale. This fine property is modern except heat.

My people are Americans, for we were born here. There are not many of us in this country who were not born here. We stay at home, and we want to continue to remain right here and so conduct ourselves that the God of Heaven will be pleased with us. As I get around here and there I see evidences of progress here and thre. You will agree that I am one of the most ridingest men in this country. When I eat breakfast it is hard to tell where I am going to eat dinner, and just where I will eat supper but eating must be done. I have been made to shout and praise God and I want to continue to do so. For after I wrote you that letter from Tuskegee Institute, I went by Montgomery, Ala., and then on to Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Robert R. Moton sent me to Montgomery from Tuskegee Institute in an automobile carriage car, and when I got through there I made it to Birmingham, and there I found Professor Mitchell awaiting me. He was accompanied by his wife and Mrs. Fannie C. Blevins of Chicago. They were down to receive me in the name of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, one of the most remarkable women of this age, and I say nothing about race or color. Soon I was in her home, and she told me to be at home with her and her family. You know Mrs. Tuggle. She is at the head of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection and this is an institution which came out of her own brains and is doing a wonderful work. Then there is the Calanthe and she is the official head for the state, as well as the Knights and Ladies of Honor. These keep her busy but in addition to this is the president of the Tuggle Institute a live wire in the educational work and I don't mind telling you. She says to the women that there is something more in life than just getting ready to die and looking after the sick. She speaks of the youth who must take their places in the world as men and women and to do so they must be trained. Mrs. Tuggle has been busy and is still busy. She is going to die in the harness. But she is not preparing to die but to live in the hearts of men and women. She is just doing things that will count. Things that will tell the world that she is a women. I had the pleasure of seeing her in the office with her clerks as busy as could be. Prof. Herbert H. Glover is the secretary to Mrs. Tuggle and he is a good one I am here to tell you. He came in found me busy looking into the working of the office, and he shook my lily black hand and told me to be at home which I was willing to do. The Tuggle Institute, as an institution is doing a great work. In it are children whose parents are unable to care for them, but this good woman declares that they should not be deprived of an education. Some are here without parents of any kind, and they are received just the same. Now you will see that this is a good work, and from this you may see that she has a large family. This was the annual meeting of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, and in order to have me as the guest I had to be initiated into the order. They first had a doctor to come out and examine me. I had to take off all my clothes, and he just examined and pronounced me a fit subject for the goat. Now it has not been long since I road that Masonic goat and I was right goatish and ready for any of them. They have a mild goat in this order, but they forced me to climb the greasy pole and every time I slipped back I was struck with such blows that I have had to stand up to do my eating ever since. Sitting down is no pleasure for me now. Now a bit of it. The meeting was great, and I had a record breaking time. Mr. Mitchell toted me around in his Kackalack. I had the pleasure of seeing many friends in that city and then was for another part of the world headed before the close of the week. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to express my thanks to Poro College, for that fine cake which reached me on my get born day. I have passed over another year, and started on still another one even though I may not reach it. The people made much over that day, for Mrs. Tuggle had one the same day. She was born on this day, herce we are twins, although she was born of her mother and I was born of mine. I certainly did enjoy that cake, and I tell you it was fine. I shall never forget Mr. and Mrs. Malone. They are doing their work and doing it well. They are helping humanity and there are lots of women in this country whose appearance has been so changed that every time they get to the altar for prayer they thank God for Mrs. Annie M. Malone, and her dear husband, Prof. Aaron E.

Overv OKLAHOMA WOMEN SEEK JUSTICE FOR ALL. Join South-wide Movement for Better Race Relations—Strong Statement Issued. Oklahoma City, June 5.—More than a score of Oklahoma's leading women meeting in this city a few days ago, followed the example of women of ten other Southern States by organizing for the promotion of better race relations through co-operation with the State Inter-Racial Committee. The personnel of the group was notable, including the presidents of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, the State Association of University Women and the Woman's Legislative Council, and of nearly all the great denominational missionary organizations. The group accepted membership in the Inter-Racial Committee and issued a statement of principles, declaring that justice must be made to prevail in race relations and that all movements for better citizenship, public health, sanitation, education, recreation and religion must include the Negro, both for his own sake and also for the common welfare. State and local authorities were called upon to protect all citizens alike, regardless of color, and the idea that lynching is ever justified was vigorously repudiated. The press was asked to co-operate in the demand for a fair deal for the Negro and to give more publicity to his worthy achievements and relatively less to his shortcomings. On the basis of their special interest in the home, the women pledged themselves to a study of the needs of Negro homes and to the effort to remedy such conditions as threaten their welfare and purity. A committee was appointed to make this study and others were appointed to study school and church conditions. The officers elected were Mrs. R. T. Mansfield, chairman; Mrs. P. M. O'Donnell, vice-chairman, and Mrs. W. J. Cargill, secretary. Women's organizations of this character have now been set up in all the Southern states except Kentucky and Mississippi and have begun to function effectively in a number of states. The movement is prompted by the Southern Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation with headquarters in Atlanta.

FAT NOT AN ASSET Insurance Figures Concerning Weight and Mortality. Accumulation of Surplus Flesh Rather Puts One in the Undesirable Class, According to Experts. The average build in man is not the best as regards longevity according to a statistical report. Overweight in youth and underweight in middle and later life will cheat "the grim reaper" out of some years. Overweight is a serious impairment among insured lives, for these persons more often succumb at an earlier age to the diseases of the heart or kidneys, to pneumonia and to disorders which reflect the worn-out machinery of the body. Overweight in younger years is an advantage, for such persons have uniformly a lower death rate from tuberculosis. It is after the age of thirty-five that overweight, even in relatively small amounts, begins to be dangerous. The seriousness increases with advancing age and with the amount of overweight, according to the insurance authorities. "Among short men," continues the report, "that is, those below five feet seven inches in height, at the age period 40 to 44 years, an excess of 20 per cent in weight involves an added mortality of 30 per cent above the normal. A 40 per cent increase in weight in such individuals involves an increased mortality of nearly 80 per cent. Among tall men, that is, those over five feet ten inches in height, the adverse situation is even more marked. For, among them, at ages 40 to 44, a 20 per cent excess in weight carries a 40 per cent increase in mortality, and a 40 per cent excess in weight doubles the mortality. "On the other hand, underweight, which is common enough, presents a different picture. In general, underweight is an advantage, provided, of course, the proportion is not too great. It is a serious impairment in early adult life, especially among taller men. Those who are over five feet ten inches, and who are 20 per cent below the average weight for their height, show an increased mortality of 30 per cent. Those having 30 per cent underweight have a 50 per cent excess of mortality at these early ages. But, from age 40 onward, there are apparently no such penalties for underweight and this condition, in fact, becomes a distinct advantage; for these are the people who have the best mortality rates. "The important lesson taught by these propositions is that there is an optimum build with reference to mortality. The average build is not the best. Those who weigh between 10 and 20 per cent below the average show the optimum condition of longevity at the most of the ages after early adult life. These few facts which have been derived from analysis of the insurance records must be supplemented by intensive physiological research. A promising field of investigation is opened up for the physiologist to determine why the body mechanism functions better in those who are of lighter build than in heavier set persons. Common observation confirms these statistical findings. The large majority of people we see around who have reached a ripe old age are of slight build. "A promising field for investigation is the suggestion that among overweights having a large chest capacity the conditions of mortality are more favorable than among those not so protected. It may be well that overweights who have large trunks are probably the best overweights and must be distinguished from those of small chest capacity and correspondingly large abdominal girth. The significance of these differences is for the future to determine." Dangerous Age. Mr. Robert Rogers wanted to insure his life and so he called upon the local agent of the insurance company. After looking at him for some time the agent remarked: "I'm sorry I can't insure you; you're too tall." The applicant looked astonished. "What!" he exclaimed. "Too tall? What's the matter with that? Anyhow, I'm not as tall as my father was, and he had no trouble getting insured." "Ah!" the agent explained, "but your father was insured years ago, when there was no danger of a fellow having his head knocked off by a skidding airplane." "It's a dangerous age," said the applicant. Diplomacy. "The boss has invited me to play golf with him next Saturday." "Is he a good player?" "He's going to think he is before the day is over."—New York Sun. Getting a Line. "Now I know how to pronounce Freude." "Huh?" "Saw it in a poem rhymed with 'employed'."—Loulsville Courier-Journal. A Better 'Ola. "And, now, I suppose, you'll want to go home to your mother!" "Oh, dear no—I'll telephone her to come here."—Sydney Bulletin. The Boy Grew Older. "And has he learned to talk yet?" "My, yes! We're teaching him to keep quiet now."—Life. FLYING CHAFF Age never makes good cream better. `To stop a wagging tongue, stop your ears. Two pairs of gloves beat three of a kind. "I am going to deliberately say—I will." Take away women—and men will follow. Be a reformer if you will, but begin on yourself. An idle rumor is about as busy as a pesky house fly. "Aim right, start right, and keep plugging away." There are sermons in stones and ice cream in bricks. Garden exercise is as good as golf—and cheaper. When the wife's away the husband may not get gay. Time files, but money can beat it for any distance. Quick minds don't always think out the big problems. If a skeleton had three feet would it be a bone yard? One smile of fortune is better than a dozen of her laughs. If you would dodge your creditors don't become famous. Water on the brain is seldom due to a thirst for knowledge. When a man aims at nothing he seldom misses his target. Many a family tree has a bad branch and a shady reputation. It is better to have fool ideas at nineteen than at forty.
