KANSAS COL. MIDNIGHT THINKS "CUSS" WORDS NOW AND THEN Says Some People Haven't Horse Sense Washington, D. C., July 10.—"Let us pray, for there is nothing else left for us to do," were the words of the philosopher, the sage, the man of the hour, Prof. Kelly Miller, when I met him on the streets of Washington yesterday, when he threw up both hands, and this one thinker of my race seemed much disturbed. I guess he is about right and caused me to pause, and try to get my old Baptist heart in touch with God. I had been thinking all kind of "cuss" words, and I think when I had finished some of you good people who have accused me of joining the Methodist church and then falling from grace. For I had in mind the first words I would say in the opening of this letter. I was going to cuss that National Association from one end to the other, and then I was going to say a few words about Alabama which would not do to go in Sunday School Literature but since taking the advice of Prof. Kelly Miller I will only say "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." But let me ask you right now and then, do you think that National Association for advancement, exercised horse sense, saying nothing about mule sense, when it sent an open telegram or some other kind of gram to the President of the United States asking him to send soldiers down to Tuskegee Institute, to protect the principal and the men at the hospital? This is what I would call 'particular damphuleishness, and that is putting it as mild as I can put it in Christian language. I want you to agree with me on this matter' if you want to and if not then put it in your pipe and smoke it until you want no more. Why call on the President or anyone else, before there had been any visible outbreak, before there had been any destruction of government property or any other kind of property? There must be some reason for the movement of the big soldiers of our country, and when they do move there is something doing. This Association is anxious to get on record, and I don't blame it, but I regret so very much that everything they do, they rush to print with it, so anxious for the world to know that it is the savior of my people. I think if there was less advertisement and more work there would be still more accomplished. I was just thinking how it would be if Jesus Christ would put in the paper every time He saved a sinney from hell, every time He went to the relief of someone in trouble, and say to the world "come and join me now, for you see what I am doing." I admire the Association myself, and think it ought to exist, but I think just little less talk. For a few weeks the Association has trotted Congressan Dyer over the country on that Dyer Anti Lynching bill. Now that would have been a fine thing, if he had been sent to the white people, those who have to vote on it in Congress, those who must be educated to its real value and worth. I declare unto you and unto heaven that every man, woman and child of my race is in favor of it, and will go to full length for its passage. But I understand that the object was to tell my people to join the Association. May I drop this here for another time, for I may get to saving something yet?" Since I wrote you that other letter, I have been going some. I was in New York, and had gone there to see them preachers quit the shores of America for a short time and mingle with the people in the other part of the world. Well they are about over there, or I am sure they will be when you read this letter, although I was not well and had to leave on account of illness, hence we have to pray that they will have a big time, make a good impression and return home. I hope that they will realize that over in Europe is not the place to wash our dirty linen but at home.

While, until recently, the doors to foreign immigration has been closed the opportunity for Negro labor in all parts of the country is greater than ever. The Negro will naturally take advantage of this offer. The writer was in conversation with an aged colored farmer a few days ago, who had recently come from Texas. He spoke with abhorence and contempt for Texas. With raised head, he said slowly, "I am coming away from down there, for I am tired of being forced to keep my head down. You must be very humble and careful if you want to get along. On going to the post office you must always stay at the end of the line. It matters not how many folks come in later than you, you must let them get ahead of you, and stay at the end of the line." "Yes, I'm going to leave the South," he continued. Of course this seems a trivial illustration as compared with other conditions which colored people undergo in the South. But surely this example is worthy of our attention. Failure to secure a square deal in the courts, inadequate school facilities in rural districts, denial of the right to vote, poor crops, and unjust divisions of products on the tenant system, night riders and lynchings and burning of men, have made the Negro ripe for a change. Besides the nefarious and hideous custom of mob violence, long practiced, came the lynching of the "Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill," which the South bitterly opposed and assumed the responsibility for the filibuster which gave to it a death blow. This has clearly proven to the southern Negro that the South desires a continuation of the practice of lynching and burning them. This, together with other unjust dealings, has intensified the desire of the Negro to migrate northward. It has forced him to conclude that it is clotted nonsense and tomfoofery to believe that his peace and safety are secure in the South. In 1910 Mississippi had one tenth of the Negro population of the United States of America, 12,000 Negroes left the above named state within ninety days for Chicago. St. Louis, and Detroit. Very recently, the department of agriculture declared in a statement that 32,000 colored farm hands had migrated to northern industrial centers from Georgia alone in the past year. Our congratulations to Georgia. Georgia is the old hotbed of race prejudice. A new attitude, however, was shown on June 20. She saved the life of an eighteen-year old Negro boy which was threatened by an embittered mob, numbering 2,000 citizens. Georgia has taken the lead Let other States follow. S. D. RHONE.

Marcus Garvey is the well known advocate of a Nation in Africa for the black race. He is President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the biggest Negro uplift movement in the world. Mr. Garvey has been framed up by his enemies and chiefly from among his own race. The Negro people of the entire world are now protesting against the unjust treatment meted out to him for his effort to improve the race. It is expected that a large gathering will be present to hear the speeches Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. at the Metropolitan Baptist church, Ninth and Washington boulevard. MASONIC PICNIC. The York Masons of this city will have an all day picnic at Leavenworth, this Saturday, July 14. They will have special cars over the Leavenworth Interurban, $1.00 round trip.

Mrs. Clayborne's group reports regularly, with excellent results and they have just started so to speak The women's group, is divided up in ten clubs of ten and each club is vieing with each other, as to who can reach the highest mark. The chairman, Mrs. Clayborne, says there is room for more' of these women's clubs and if any would like to give a little service in this noble cause for the race and humanity, just to call Fifield 4339J. JOHNSON TRANSFER CO MOVES J. E. Johnson Transfer and Storage Company, formerly located at 603 North Seventh street, has moved to the Nelson building, 717 Quindaro boulevard.

Bouldin, 611 Parallel avenue who met with an accident on the street car, is getting along nicely. She received a badly sprained ankle. ADVOCATE Yes, I'se here—and Hell-o yo' self. Whar else is I gwye ter be? For a long time Uncle Ike—you had a great deal to say about the lack of colored patrolmen, what do you think of the new Mayor? Do you think he has done any thing? Colored what-men—I never said noffin er bout no Trollmen—I said we oughter have some colored Perlicemens an we did get some, er few. An dis new Mayer is SOME player cause he done gone raise de anty to EIGHT. But that is not all of it, while, so far as we are informed, these men are making good, in the performance of their duty. It is up to these men, as well as the members of the group which they represent, to see to it, that they come well up to the standard; and keep and remain at it. So that all was said in argument for their appointment, will be fully sustained. We commend our Mayor—and hope that others of his official family may catch the strain, which is conductive to a well organized, smooth, and equitably operating civil and political system. The Civic League is now in flower—gathering in new members, and generating new ideas for the good of the group in the community. At the meeting on the 17th, several new matters of prime importance will be presented, put on foot, and pushed. As well also, work on "Boys' Week and Emancipation Celebration" will be started. And a large attendance is expected in order to shape and work out these ideas. It is time WE were about the matters and things, which are of Prime importance in our welfare; for we may not expect others to do such for us—for in that—they are otherwise engaged. When you come, bring your Idea with you—in the meantime, remember that the other fellow may have his there also. And I will be there "!Right early." UNCLE IKE, (I.F.

Mr. Arthur of Quindaro, delivered the message at the evening service and his hearers received it with open hearts. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin returned from Atchison, where he had preached for an order before the services closed and made a few remarks.

Prayer and praise service, Wedneslay, 8 p. m. The services were well attended despite the extreme heat. The pastor is not up to his usual standard of health but he preached three sermons, one the funeral sermon of Sister Malinda Mason, a loyal worker and faithful member of our church. At 11 a. m. the pastor preached with power and effectiveness from the subject, four imperatives taken from the following scriptures: Eph. 6:20. "I ought," Phil. 4:18, "I can," Luke 15:18, "I will," 2nd Tim., 4:7, "I have." It is customary to select a text from one or two passages of Scripture but I have selected these four imperatives trusting through the Divine guidance of the help of the spirit to impress some thoughts on your minds of what God would have us do as his people in this world these imperatives, are not to be discussed but obeyed when an imperative is given in the scriptures. It is not for a christian to ask the reason why, but to do or die. "I ought." I ought to speak boldly, the truth. Religion is knowing what you ought to do then doing it. Christians are not people who do as they like, but who do as they ought. The darkest word is sin, the meanest is time, the longest, eternity. The most solemn word is conscience—I ought "I can." God can do nothing with the man who says "I can't." He can do anything with the man who says "I can." I can do all things through Christ which strengthength me. There is nothing you ought to do that you can't do. You can be what you ought to be. "I can" bridge Niagara build our great city and others, belted the world with cable and steam and will yet with the world for Jesus. "I will" what is the greatest power in the world today? The lightning that crumbles the tower and solid masonry? The earthquake that overturns the skyscrapers like a house of cards? NO. The greatest power in the world is the human will, next to the omnipotence of God is the will of man. God can guide the stars in their orbits. He can't guide man until man wills to let him. You will never be a christian until you say I will. The strength of the church is in its will to make the kingdoms of this world the kingdoms of Jesus Christ. Will to life not to lean, to bless and not burden, to give, not to get. "I have," "I ought," that is duty. "I can," that is power. "I will," that is purpose, "I have," that is achievement. The daylight is fading the shadows of the evening will soon be here, the clock soon ticks out the lives of men. Oh, may it be ours to say I have fought a good fight and achieved Victory. There were several accessions. B. Y. P. U. was fine, Mrs. Messley gave a splendid outline of work to be accomplished. Eight p. m. Pastor preached from Luke 18-19. Subject "Working and Waiting." The ordnance of baptism was administered to several candidates. A hearty welcome awaits all who attend our services.

ARE YOU GUILTY? A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer. "Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patrolling a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locally." The farmer looked at the merchant a suspect and then said: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I hear hard." MORAL—ADVERTISE DIRECTORY OF MASONIC LODGES ADDRESS OF BISHOPS A.M.E. CHURCH. It gives us great pleasure to recommend to the General Officers, Presiding Elders, Pastors and our devoted laity the plans of the Rev. Dr. M. Baxter, business manager, to erect the Connectional Department Building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the African Methodist Episcopal Church, to house the Book Concern, Missionary Department, the Church Extension Society and the A. M. E. Review. Bonds have been issued with our consent and no pains should be spared to maintain the sale of same and the success of erecting said building. It is hoped that the clergy and our beloved laity throughout the length and bredth of the world will purchase these bonds and help in every honorable way to erect us a building in this city where our church was born, which will be commensurate with our standing, so that when the 150th, or susque-Centennial is celebrated in 1926 when other denominations and enterprises and city historical spots are being pointed out to our visitors from all over the world, we can be able to point out something we have done for our church in a business way besides churches and schools in the same city of so many blessed memories.

FIFTH AT OAKLAND AVENUE BELL FAIRFAX 4187 NOTICE! THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THE CALL OF THE HOUR To all Colored Republicans in States Where they Vote The political crisis which confronts the colored citizens today is of grave moment. Efforts are being made to strip us of every vestige of our political rights and to deny us any place in the government. Even in our own party there is a tendency to restrict our activities in the administration of the government to insignificant places where we are to administer only to our own group. Race prejudice is the super-government in America and makes a mockery of the Declaration of Independence, and a scrap of paper of the Federal Constitution. If this sinister influence is not checked it will reduce us to a state of political serfdom. To meet this exigency, the Colored Republican Conference of New Jersey in Convention assembled, hereby issues a call to all colored republicans in states where they vote to assemble in Atlantic City, N. J., July 20-21, 1923, to devise ways and means to promote the conservation of our political rights. This invitation is especially extended to those in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky, wtih New Jersey as host. Some of the subjects to be considered are: Absolute equality of membership in the republican party, both north and south. The "Lily White" policy of the republican party. Our taxation without representation. The enforcement of the Federal Constitution in its entirety without favoritism for any particular amendment. Concentration of our political forces as a means of preserving our rights and privileges. For further information write Dr. W. G. Alexander, 279 Bank street, Newark, N. J., Dr. P. L. Hawkins, 1813 Arctic avenue, Atlantic City, N. J., or Dr. eGorge E. Cannon, 354 Pacific avenue, Jersey City, N. J. Committee of Arrangements—Dr. W. G. Alexander, Dr. C. T. Branch, Dr. Wm. A.

To Mable Brooks: You are hereby notified that you have been sued by the above named plaintiff in the District Court of Wyandotte County, for divorce, and that you are required to answer the petition of plaintiff filed in the office of the Clerk of the District Court of Wyandotte county, Kansas, on or before the 10th day of August, 1923, or said petition will be taken as true and judgment will be rendered against you in favor of plaintiff granting him an absolute divorce of and from, you, and for such other and further relief as the nature of the case may require and for costs. DORSEY GREEN, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published June 29, 1923.) J. O. MIDNIGHT to be accomplished by abusing home to a foreign people. They have troubles of their own and some of them are mighty troubles as you know. Thousands of Americans whose bones lie either in America or over there tell us what it cost us to get mixed up in the European trouble, and we will now resort to the statement of Kelly Miller and just tell it to Jesus. I got on a train drawn by the horse of iron, and went right on down to Springfield, Mass. I have been reading about this place for a long time, and I remember so much about the Springfield Republican, how it had plead the cause of my people, and how it is still doing it, so I just wanted to see, and since I had an invitation from Grand Chancellor E. Barce to visit his Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, I got myself together and went to the city, although I did not get to see much of it, because I was not able to get around much. This grand lodge is known as-Grand Lodge of Massachusetts and Rhode Island and attached states. Now that is name enough for it, but it is not hardly as large as its name, for we have the people up here like we have them down home. I reached the city Monday evening about 6:30, went to the city hall, or auditorium, and you will believe me honey it was one more building. In fact a group of buildings, the finest in the country so far as I know costing nearly $2,000,000. This is what I saw the buildings were called, three in number, "the Auditorium, the Campanile and the Administration Building." The Auditorium has a convention hall with seating capacity of 4,000 and is famous for its acoustic properties. The Mahogany room, where the Calanthe met, seats 400, is a part of the building. Now this other thing, Capanile, 300 feet in height, contains a chime of twelve bells, donated to the city by various organizations and citizens. It affords a magnificent view of the surrounding country. I do not need to mention Forest Park, the Arsenal founded by George Washington, 1789, where the first of the famous Springfield rifles was manufactured in 1795; the St. Gauden's statute of Deacon Chapin, conceded to be the masterpiece of this famous sculptor, the Art Museum and the Museum of Natural History, and the City Library. It was a wonderful sight to witness the opening of the Grand Lodge. The Grand Chancellor is from down home, but has gone from Georgia to Boston, and just put the order on the map. He brought into life the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias in Mass., and of course is the first Grand Chancellor. He is a princely fellow and a leader of men. It is wonderful how in such a short time he has brought this order into prominence, for this was the fifth annual session. They have erected a temple in Boston and are just doing business. There are brainy men in this organization. They had two doctors of the order for me during my stay, Dr. Taylor of Boston, and Dr. Bowen, of Springfield. Hon Butler R. Wilson, a jurist, is the attorney for the Grand Lodge and he is one more lawyer. I will not be able to go into details this week, but will congratulate Mr. Barco on the wonderful work he is doing. Of course this is a good thing and many are aspiring for the headship, and you will always find this where there is to be found men of brains and culture, and then there are others who want a thing just as soon as someone else makes it. One man was nominated against Grand Chancellor Barco, but he is so far behind that you cannot see his dust. It was his right to run, and the other man's right to so be in the hearts of the people to win. I shall never forget the kindness paid me by Charles H. Brown, formerly of Columbus, Ga., and who is filling a good position with the gas people in town. He is a big Mason and a member of the K. of P. He saw me in my suffering condition July 4, and remained with me until I was headed for New York, for I passed through New York trying to reach this city, to get in the hands of Dr. A. M. Curtis, that wonderful physician and surgeon. Well here I am, and I was not in the city thirty minutes, before he had me on the table and was using his knife. He gave me immediate relief. It was not my head this time. I am glad to report to you that I am better, and Dr. Curtis is looking after me daily, and will continue to do so until I get well or die.
