KANSAS MIDNIGHT FINDS HIMSELF RIGHT AT STEPPING OFF PLACE. SAYS SOME DAY ON A HIKE WILL STEP RIGHT INTO GLORY Vol. IX. Richmond, Va., July 18.—I have been too sick to make it to Georgia this week, but the world continues to move, and I find myself while at the time right at the stepping-off place, yet I am moving along with the world, and some day while on a hike I am going to step right into heaven. Then the people will say "It is a pity that he died so early, and he was one more good man." I have often wondered why people put it off until you are dead to discover some goodness in you, but while you live you are everything else but pie and ice cream. Please let me get just a whif at the flowers while I can smell just a little and while I am without a bad cold. I have been to Hot Springs as you know and I am getting ready to go back again next month, because the National Negro Business League is going to meet, there August 15, 16, 17, and on Monday just before this the Arkansas Negro Business League is going to be in session, and they are going to do a few things, I am here to tell you honey, and you may put it in your pipe and smoke it. John L. Webb, that wonderful man who is doing things down in Arkansas will preside over the state league and that tells you that there is something going to be doing there. Mr. Webb is a man of vision and a man who knows how to do things and he does not hesitate when it comes to do something for his people. I would that we had a few more like him in this country. Now then when it comes to the National League, Mr. Webb will be the man to call it to order, and after the preliminary opening keeping with the old established rule, will present the presiding officer, President Robert R. Moton, the man who is doing so much for his people just now and who is perhaps very much misunderstood. Believe me they have prepared one more interesting program and they are going to pull off some stunts this time. The Business League is going to take on new life, and something tangible will be accomplished. It will pay you to be there. I am going to be there myself, and already, I have been assigned to stop with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Falconer. The people of Hot Springs are going to entertain their visitors, and there will be two of the finest bath houses in the country wide open to all. They are the Pythian bath house and the bath house of the Woodmen of Union. I shall have something to say about them and the advantages of the waters. But if you have any pains, I would suggest that you go in time to take THE AESCULAPIAN MEDICAL SOCIETY ENTERTAINS. The Aesculapian Medical Society of Kansas City, Kansas, entertained at the City Park Friday night, July 13. Quite an assemblage of the physicians of greater Kansas City, their wives and many friends were in attendance. The balmy breezes made the evening an ideal one for the occasion. The height of fashion exhibited itself in the beautiful and becoming costumes of Kansas City's elite society. Mr. Knox's orchestra was at its best and dsicoursed sweet music much to the pleasure of those who delighted to indulge in the light fantastic toe. Quite a few brides and grooms in their happiest mood were present, upon whom their host showered unstinted compliments and good will. The Medical Society has enjoyed a very prosperous year. Dr. C. A. McElroy, the president, was highly pleased with the outcome of the society's work this year as well as with the social activities. At a late hour the guests left all voting the society one hundred per cent and thanking the president and his co-workers for one of the most enjoyable evenings. Mrs. L. Prince, 419 Everett avenue, has been confined to her bed for more than a week with illness. -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 some of that healing water into your system. It is the water of perpetual youth and now is your time to get hold of it. I will go from the Business League direct to the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, New York City, and you may consider that jumping, but honey I am going to jump just a little wider, for I will go from there to Los Angeles, and that is going from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The National Baptist convention is going to meet in Los Angeles, and they are now getting in good line for the trip. They are going there in large numbers and I am proud to say that I am going to be in the number. Will you be there? Will you join me in this trip. Well, I have been telling you about these meetings, but I have not been telling you much about myself. Well, I am still here and if I were not here I would be in some other place, country or clime. I have been bumping around like the bump on a log, and I am not tired yet. It strikes me that I was getting around in Washington when I wrote to you that last letter, and when I got through there, I found myself on the go, headed for Philadelphia, and had the pleasure of meeting Miss Barbara C. Ford, from way down in Hot Springs. I was glad to see her for she is going to help to entertain me next month, and I think I owe it to her to try to make her happy. So I directed her to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gaines, 30 North 57th street, and these people received her just like they were receiving a sister. They made her feel at home. They had one fine time, and I just took in the churches. Sunday morning I spoke at Union A. M. E. church, and when I was through the preacher said that they enjoyed my sermon in fine shape and shook the big sum of three dollars in my hands. Union A. M. E. church is one of the best in the city, and the Rev. Campbell Beckett is the pastor. They do not big prices pay for little sermons, and I was paid according to sermon. Mrs. Emily Gaines was to sing a solo, but she did not reach there on time. Mrs. Gaines is a graduate from Normal, the A. & M. college of Alabama under the late William H. Councill. She is indeed an intellectual young woman and a fine housewife. Side by side she is working with her husband. They have a fine house. With this crowd, Mrs. Gaines, Miss Ford, Mrs. Adams, I made a trip to Atlantic City, N. J., the city, by the sea, and had one more time, that (Continued on Page 4) NATIONAL PRINCESS HERE.

To the many friends who showed their sympathy by kindness of all kinds during the long illness and convalescence of Dean Edw. R. Vaughan of Western University, husband and father, our heartfelt gratitude is herewith extended to them for the same. Dr. Vaughan is regaining his former health and ere long he hopes to be his former self again. MRS. E. R. VAUGHAN, Wife. PAULINE G. McELROY, Daughter. DR. C. A. McELROY, Son-in-Law. CITY July 20,1923 Lake Junaluska, N. C., July 12 (Special)—The Social Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in Annual session here last week, gave out a statement expressing appreciation of Tuskegee Institute and declaring that any interference with the institution would be a "lasting disgrace to Southern civilization." The statement which was given wide publicity by the Associated Press, was as follows: "Inasmuch as there has come to us through reliable newspaper reports and private sources of undoubted reliability information that the interests of the great institution for colored people at Tuskegee, Ala., are seriously menaced by threats of organized interference. "Resolved, that this Commission put on record our appreciation of the incalculable value of that institution for the training of our colored fellow citizens, and declare our unalterable conviction that any invasion of its rights or interference with the orderly pursuit of its lawful and benevolent labors would be a calamity to the institution and a lasting disgrace to our Southern civilization. The action of the Commission of which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is chairman, was called forth by the recent parade of the Ku Klux Klan at Tuskegee and by other efforts to intimidate the Institute, because of its supposed attitude in the controversy relative to the new government hospital for colored veterans. The statement is considered very significant as representing the leadership of one of the greatest Southern denominations, with a membership of 2,500,000. It indicates the prevailing attitude of the best people of the South toward Tuskegee and other Negro institutions. I had for a long time a number of bad teeth broken off and many of them were entirely grown over with the gum, and I went to a number of dentists of other races, and all told me they could not be extracted without severe pain and danger of blood poison. So I went to Dr. Marion Cotton, 514 Minnesota avenue, and he extracted ten of these teeth, without the least pain, or did it leave any soreness and my gums are in perfect condition. A most unique birthday party was given in honor of Eugene Turner, 11 years old, at 1138 Armstrong street. The party consisted of twenty-six girls and boys who made merry for about three hours, July 12. Many presents were received. The young folks left feeling very joyful, and wishing Eugene many more happy birthdays. Kansas City, Kansas, A SURPRISE PARTY. Monday evening, July 16, a group of the younger set of the First A. M. E. church gave a surprise birthday party upon Miss Almah E. Griffin, the adopted daughter of Rev. J. F. Griffin at the parsonage. The group gathered at the home of Miss Lee Ella Blake and went over to Miss Griffin's about 8:30 o'clock and found her entertaining two of the group unaware of what was about to happen. After recovering from a pleasant shock Miss Griffin and the others enjoyed a delightful time. Miss Griffin said that she cannot say that she has never been surprised for the Gang sure put one over on her. She refuses to tell her age saying it is her favorite birthday. We are sure from the expression upon her face that she has bid farewell to the "teens." Mrs. Stewart, the sponsor for the group and Miss Lee Ella Blake, are accredited the success of the evening.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN At 11 a. m. a large congregation was inspired by a wonderful sermon from Pastor Bronson on "The Influence of the Holy Spirit." He preached so reverently that many said "of his many great sermons, that was one of the best." Many christians shouted as they listened to the truth. One of the joiners was Mrs. Lewis, wife of one of our deacons. She came from the Seventh Day Adventists. At 8 P. M. the Pastor preached another spiritual sermon from Jno. 10:1-11, Christ the Door. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enteret not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." Again the Christians rejoiced and gave thanks to God for the message. The senior choir sang a beautiful new classic anthem on the Tempest in the morning and the pastor praised them to the highest. The junior choir sang at night, and the pastor said "they sang well." The Sunday School, B. Y. P.

Much good is being done by the circle. At 8 p. m. Rev. Christmas preached from the 14th Matt. 12 verse. Subject, "Go and Tell Jesus." The sermon was well preached and his hearers were spiritually benefitted. A very interesting solo was sung by Sister Thomas. Everyone enjoyed its vocal harmony. One addition to the church. The prayers of the church were solicited for sick Brother Smith. A hearty welcome awaits all who attend our services. Come to Mt. Olive Baptist church. Third, Minnesota and State avenue, and let us have a spiritual enjoyment together. Mrs. Isabelle Hall, 1000 Walker avenue, and Mrs. Anna Price, 703 Oakland avenue, left last Sunday night for Los Angeles, Calif., where they will visit friends for several weeks. Their friends wish them a very pleasant stay. Mrs. A. T. Parker, mother of Mrs. A. J. Bouldin and Mrs. Johnson of Parkville, Mo., visited Mr. and Mrs. Bouldin Sunday and returned home in the evening. Rev. A. T. Parker of Parkville, Mo., attended the funeral of a brother minister Monday at the C. M. E. church. Mrs. Cora Dameron on Freeman avenue, is confined to her room with illness, but is reported to be improving some. Mrs. Nola Roberts, who has been in Douglass hospital for several weeks, is not doing so well. Her friends hope for her recovery. The Junior Missionary Society of First A. M. E. church chaperoned by Mrs. Lulu Hornbeak, picnicked at Swope Park last week and had a delightful outing. Preparation. "Why are you studying all these.foreign languages?" "I'm thinking of living in'New York." Highbrow—Have you read "The Way of All Flesh"? A Paradox. Rub—"What was the most difficult thing you ever did?" "I made ten easy payments."—Life. Her Choice. "What kind of music do you like, Miss Thirty?" "I like simple heirs best." The Hitch. Tramp—"Yes; once I, too, was happily married." Lady — "And—?" Tramp—"My wife wasn't." Light on Her Feet. She—"Do you think I've improved in my swimming?" He—"Yes, you've made remarkable strides!" Transfer in Progress. "That boy spends his money as free- ly as if it, were some one else's." "Well, it soon will be." Can't See-This One. "Did you hear that story of the woman straphanger?" "Oh, yes—it's a standing joke." Sure Proof. "How can you tell they are newly married?" "She cried when he caught his finger in the door." A Box Party. "Then you don't like the grand opera?" "It was so noisy we couldn't hear ourselves talk." He's Married. "What's his present salary?" "He says it's never present long enough to know."—Wayside Tales.

WM. H. TOWERS, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published July 13, 1923.) J. 0. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) eS ET, RC ee: ce Boardwalk and I just looked at the town. I returned and I mean to Philadelphia, and met some friends there, for a few minutes, and then off the next day for Washington, returning the young lady to her people and then I called to see Miss Enola Porche, a teacher from New Orleans, who is here getting her in- tellectual ax sharpened at Howard University. I thought that when a fellow was a graduate, he was just a graduate and when you get to teaching it was childish to go to school, but that is just where I showed a weak spot in my think tank, for they tell me the more ed- ucation you get the more you should get, and the more you should get the more you want. I tell you I have known men and women to teach from now henceforth and forevermore and neverlook in a book to study. They just seemingly had all the knowledge in their heads, and they did not have to study, but it strikes me that I never hear of such people getting any promotions. They just know it all, and that little all they know just remains, and the other fellow who gets so much and digs for more, just goes right on up and up. There is no middle ground in edu- cation, but it is progressive and ag- gressive, you either must keep up or you get in the class of damphules and just remain there? I think that some of these days I am just going to buy me a hundred dollars worth of dictionaries, and spelling books and grammars, and diction books, and believe me honey you will not be able to get close enough to me to hand me a red apple. I am just going to out diction the dictionary, and outspell the spellinary, and out- grammar the grammarary. When you seem you will just ask “Who in the hen Feathers is that big functina- tion with all that education in his head?” I was delighted to see the progress being made by Miss Porche and I just said thank God and continued on my journey. I had the pleasure of being the first man to ride with Dr. W. H. Jernagin in his fine new automobile car carriage which was presented him by his church. The people of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Washington, D. C., just love their pastor and he is a deserving man. I did not get to ride much, because I had to leave for this place. I am in Richmond, and have had the pleasure of shaking hands with Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., the man who has fought many battles for his race, and is now regarded as a great man. He has been hit at by some of the politicians and others. He will come out all right. Many friends are sending in contributions for his fight for life. It is a worthy cause. TI think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. Please let me hear from you. God bless you and all the world. I am here with Mr. and Mrs. Lucian Miller. You will recall I told you about this brilliant young man, who is well fixed in the goods of the world, yet the Lord has laid his hands on him and told him to go ‘tote the word. Rev. Miller be- lieves that God at the same time He called him to preach also called him to prepare. “It is time to get rid of ignorance in the pulpit’ he said, “ and by the help of God I am not-going ‘to be in that class of hangers on.’ He is getting ready for his life’s work. Right by his side is to be found his companion, his wife. She is a daughter of Arkansas. She came into the world via Demundson, Ar- kansas, a little one horse town, near Memphis. She came from a good family, for her father, the late B. T. Wofford. He was one of the founders of the town and was the’ postmaster—in fact he was the lead- ing spirit in the town. A man of wealth and influence. For sixteen years he held the position of ost master and was the man to do things. Mrs. Wofford was a refined and cultyred woman, a wife and ia SOE RE BV een Th ee “THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ; Condensed Official Statment- of:, Condition . of = | : 5 -- The Minnesota Avenue State Bank =: KANSAS CITY, KANS*S , Resources Liabilities, Loans (Personal and Capital Stock................$ 10,000,00 | | Colateral $188,488.22 SUEPIUS eeenennenensee 19,000.00 | Loans (Real Estate... 131,974.63 Undivided Profit .... 3,041.59 ¢ Real Estate Owned... 684411 Deposits cecexvcen-nene 439,060.28 | Furniture & Fixtures. 2,970.00 —— | U.S, & Other Bonds. 95,162.75 . $465,101.87 Cash & Sight Ex- CHANGE anne 39,662.16 ; ’ —— = 4 $465,101.87 «The above statement is correct, EVAN H.
