GUESTS ROYALLY ENTERTAINED UNIFORM RANK IN STATE ENCAMPMENT J. O. Midnight on the Scene. Takes Issue with the Ex-Mayor Vol. IX "DAYS OF 49 AWAY SATU HEAR REV. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS A THE HAVE GREAT ROYALLY EN UNIFORM RANK IN J. O. Midnight on the Scenic Ex-M Chanute, Kans., July 30.—All eyes are yet turned on Tuskegee and the people are watching the movement of the administration of President Warren G. Harding. The real southerners declare that the white people of Alabama are wrong in trying to break in on a Negro institution erected by the United States government for Negroes exclusively. They wonder why the white south wants to crowd the Negro out of a place that is for him. Why has Alabama fallen in love with the Negro to that extent, that they are willing to break over law to let themselves in to mingle with us? There is a law something about white folks nursing black folks. I am not going to discuss the details, of this, but I will leave it to you to look up. Dr. Robert R. Moton, who is indeed a great man and a wonderful leader is not rushing into print, but is standing flat-footed on his first position, and now it is all up to President Harding and those associated with him. I will refrain from making any comment until he has acted. I am not going to anticipate him and you must not blame me for that. When I took my pen in hand to write you that other letter, I was in Chicago, but just as soon as I got through writing I got my trunk and other things together and left Chicago on the Chicago & Alton for Kansas City, Mo. I left there at 6 o'clock in a bed car, and soon I was in the land of sleep, and I think I made more noise than the iron horse, but that was my business and no one else had anything to do with it. Reaching Kansas City, I called up Mrs. Norene Davis over the hello speaking tube, talked with her for which I paid five cents and then I got on a street wagon and went to see the Rev. Edward Wittenburg, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M. E. church. He is that young man who came up to the city from New Orleans, La., and honey put it down that I told you, he is doing some real work down here. He is one of the men who is likely to be elevated in Louisville, Ky., May, 1924, and if so, I am here to tell the African Methodist Episcopal church that a worthy man will be elevated and there will be some other real doings. Speaking of elevation, the general conference of the A. M. E. church is going to meet, and honey there are many aspirants for episcopal honors and other honors. Texas will have its share of able men. I have seen named among those who are booked for the bishopric, Revs. H. A. Carr, G. B. Young, J. B. Butler, P. C. Hunt, W. D. Miller, Dr. McGrew, and some others whose names I do not organize just now. There is Rev. Dr. Abington, for Missionary Secretary, I WISH TO SAY GOOD-BYE. I take these means to say goodbye to my pastor of First A. M. E. church, and all the members and also to the members of Violet Court of Calanthe No. 49, as I am a member of both of them. I will leave the evening of the Third of August for St. Louis, Mo., where I expect to make my future home. Lovingly yours; MRS. PEARL STANFIELD, 345 Armstrong avenue.

J. Johnson must be secretary of Church Extension, Dr. A. S. Jackson, of Waco, who is one of the leading laymen of the A. M. E. church and one of the leading educators of the nation, is commissioner of education, and will remain there. His service warrants the church in holding him right there until the Lord asys "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." He is the right man in the right pew, and the right neighborhood that's true. But why talk about church and church officers just now, for I am sure that all the men who want to be elected will not be, and there is no getting around it. Just let me get away from this and tell you that after getting on the outside of a good breakfast, I left for Fort Scott, Kansas. Reaching the city Sunday at 3:30 I found the Rev. Dr. G. M. Tillman, awaiting for me to get to town and he was ready and did tote me to his home in his automobile car carriage, and there I was cordially received by Mrs. Catherine D. Tillman, the author, the scholar and editor. She is serving this people of ours and she is doing her work well although she is failing in health. I met some old friends, but none so dear as Mrs. Tillman. I have known her from her childhood, when she was in school in Louisville, Ky., under the late William J. Simmons. I know that she was then a scholar and that scholarship has ripened until now she ranks with the leading women of this race of ours. They made me one of the family for the time being. Bright and early the next morning, I was on my way to Parsons, Kansas, and then on to the city of Chanute. I went to Chanute to see the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe. They met in great and grand style and you will believe me when I tell you that there were some great big doings there this year. I was assigned to stop at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Branch of the Baptist church, and it was a fine home. There were six women stopping at the same place and three men. Now you know I was excited all the time. But they were all fine people, and I am delighted that I was there. The Grand Lodge opened Tuesday morning, and they had a fine opening of the grand lodge. There was a lady who presided, and she was a good presiding officer. It was the night for welcome addresses and they had some of them I am here to tell you. It was Mrs. Ernest Grith, one of the trained women of the race. The first speaker was Hon. John W. Lapham, former mayor and now the post office mayor or postmaster. He was the right man but not in the (Continued on Page 4.) Mrs. A. J. Bouldin went to Parkville, Mo., Tuesday to attend the marriage of Miss Vivian Carls and Mr. Marshall Johnson, which took place Tuesday night. Mrs. S. J. Curry, matron of Western University, will leave tonight for Chicago, where she will visit with relatives for several weeks. Rev. A. Royston and Mr. J. T. Taylor spent several days in Excelsior Springs, recreating. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, August SATURDAY NIGHT NIGHT. BE THERE INSTON OF LITTLE E. CHURCH SUN ALONG WHAT LINE WILL THIS COME? What is the matter with you Uncle Ike? Where are you, and what are you doin? Kansas City, Kansas, August 3, 1923 The Sunday game went to the Monarchs by a score of 2 to 3. Monday's contest, 5 to 6. Tuesday was a shut out for Mendez, 14 to 0, and the last game Wednesday, 9 to 6. Rogan went in after Foster's team had made five runs off Curry in the first inning, and they scored one run in the eighth frame. Duncan making a wild throw to third, Torenti coming home. Rogan won two games out of the series. Milwaukee comes Saturday for a five-game series, playing a double header Sunday, the first game at 2 o'clock. The Monarchs are playing the game of their life and its pretty sure they will cop four out of five, with the Milwaukee team. Heavy Johnson holds the record of the longest hit on the new Muehlebach field putting one over the east end of the score board. Mr. Charles L. Childs of this city was re-elected District Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows at their Annual Session at Great Bend and Dr. S. M. Banks of this city, Medical Examiner. Grand Master Childs in his first year of administration, showed the Order had under his leadership to be in perfect harmony with the entire Jurisdiction, besides a decided growth the past year. Mrs. Groomer is running the elevator at City Hall. Mrs. Fi Kemp, N ministers Mrs. Fitchue, Mrs. Dow, Mesdames Kemp, Nelson and several Baptist ministers attended the Kaw Valley convention at Lawrence from Tuesday to Saturday. It convened at Second Baptist church with Rev. Jackson. Why are you not coming along the line this week? What has happened to you? You are not going to let a little matter like that which certain colored grocers did—in forming an association, and hiring a white lawyer to defend them, where they had been arrested in the Sunday closing fight;—put you out of commission, are you? We admit that this act of these Colored Grocers—is just a little raw—yes we will have to admit that it was altogether, and entirely uncooked;—and something that WE EVEN, would not have expected. But you must consider that they are COLORED MEN—and wanted the best possible service, for the very NICE LARGE FEE THEY PAID. And you should not expect, that the fact that you had done so much to encourage and bring about "Business Week" for our group—to follow closely on Emancipation Celebration—which you so fully and ably explained last week under "Along the Line of Reason," to cut any figure with these gentlemen—when you remember that they are COLORED MEN. And it makes no difference—that the result of Business Week, as was suggested in the Civic League, and so ably explained in "Along the Line of Reason," would bring NINE dollars to Negro grocers, where it will bring ONE dollar to all other business and professions among us. While that is true, yet 'Tis not to be considered—when you think of these gentlemen—for they are COLORED MEN. I know it all looks pretty "Rocky" Uncle Ike, yet I don't believe I would get "Off the reservation" on account of it. Stay on the job—and go ahead and pull off "Business Week" for the group as you had mapped out to do. Don't do what you feel like doing (and sometimes, do, do) but for ONCE, if no more say: "Father forgive them, for they didn't know what they did." A FRIEND OF BOTH— The Grocers and Uncle Ike. TWO KANSAS CITY DRILL TEAMS BRING FIRST AND SECOND PRIZES HOME. At the State Encampment last week of the Uniform Ranks of Knights of Pythias, two of Kansas City's companies brought home frist and second honors.

ADVOCATE As the Advocate's correspondent, was on the scene of the Grand Session of Sunflower Grand Lodge and Grand Court, and has his weekly letter in this issue, covering practically all the proceedings, we will not make a duplicate. But we want to say for the people of Chanute and with the least-thought of flattery, in no instance or place where these Annual Grand Sessions have been held, to the knowledge of the editor has there been a more courteous and greater service given to strangers than the people of both races gave in Chanute during their stay. Being at the head of the Uniform department and in camp from Monday to Friday morning, we had every courtesy and attention given us that possibly could be required. Neosho Company No. 16, only a few days old, were ever ready to give service and they did it pleasantly, at all times. Others did as much, and especially the waitresses at the dining hall, which was located near the camp and as to service and food, it was the finest and best cooked that has been seen at any session. The day of the parade, the white friends brought more horses than we could use and we understood, without cost to any one. As commander of this Department I want to thank all who made the sacrifice in helping tomake for the Sir Knights and Lady Drill Teams in Camp Wm. Sanders one of comfort and pleasure. THOS.

Rube got away with the first game last Saturday with a shut out, but the other four went to the Monarchs, without much trouble. CHAS. L.

Five or more special cars will carry delegates and visitors to Leavenworth. The Soldiers Home will also be visited and the officials there will co-operate with the committee on entertainment, of which J. P. King is the chairman.

CHURCH NEWS A great day in Zion was witnessed at First Church last Sunday, at all the services. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, delivered two of the strongest sermons that he has probably preached in his six years, at this church. He seems to be endowed with an extra power of the Holy Ghost. His sermons do not only touch and appeal to a few highly charged spiritual believers, but to each individual in the pew. His hearers never tire of his sermons or become cold and unconcerned, as is the case in many instances where a minister has occupied the same pulpit for many years. as Dr. Griffin. Every sermon is new, with rich graces, delivered from God's eternal word. Come and hear this wonderful gospel minister and your soul will rejoice as never before. Monthly love feast Friday—Tonight—Come out and meet your leader and show your colors, as an African Methodist and receive a blessing of the holy spirit. Last monthly love feast this conference year. The Sabbath School is doing fine and well attended each Sunday. Many of the Sunday School scholars attend church service every Sunday. The Allen Leagues are having splendid programs each Sunday evening and many are being helped by them. Come next Sunday and take a part in one of them. The second Sunday will be "Men's Day," when Bishop Vernon will preach at the morning service and at the evening service Senator Arthur Capper will deliver and address. Mr. Capper is exgovernor of Kansas and now one of the present United States Senators from this state. The Third Sunday will be "Women's" Day" when the women of the church will have charge, their program will be announced later. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Mission Circle, Monday night 7:30 p.m. Y. M. B.

The worshippers gathered for religious services early Sunday morning and after a spiritual prayer service our beloved pastor began his discourse from gospel recorded by St. Luke 21:26. A very instructive lesson was taught in his sermon touching the shaking of the powers of heaven and the failing of men's hearts for fear. At 8:00 p. m. we had another service in which many participated. The pastor's text was taken from Daniel 2:16. Subject: "Haste Makes Waste." There was great stress placed on the patience and manner Daniel choose to interpret the king's dream compared with the manner and patience that Christians should use to solve life's great problems of today. "Be not hasty, but wait on God" who in due time will give us the secret of solution. The speaker emphasized this comparison to such an extent that every one seemed to enjoy a great spiritual feast and many went home saying, "I am glad I came to the house of prayer." Two additions to church and three sinners gave their hands saying that they too, enjoyed the service. A great preparation is being made by representatives for the Association. We pray for their success and for the blessings of the Holy Spirit upon the meeting. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Many persons assembled at the house of the Lord at 11 a. m. to hear God's Word explained. Pastor Bronson preached on "Beloved, Ye are the Sons of God," with a depth of reverence which penetrated the hearts of many who gave vent to their feelings. At the close of the sermon, ten joined the church; six by letter and four otherwise. Mrs. Wood, the organist and Mme L. Summers played a classic organ and piano duet. At 3 p. m. a rally program led by Mrs. Wood was given. Those who responded were: Dr. Bowren, Rev. Clay, Mrs. Fitchue and others. At 8:00 p. m. a visiting minister preached a good sermon. The Sewing Circle is still doing fine at their dinners. Next Sunday, August 5, a special offering will be given to pay on hard oiling the whole auditorium, preparatory to bringing the $5,000 pews, the finest in the city. Rev. Battles, our proficient artist, will also redecorate the upstairs walls, etc., and make things more beautiful. Some outsiders still want to give to the Memorial Fund, and the Sewing Circle wants to raise money specially to buy carpet for the aisles only. The Mission Circle is doing better, and the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are doing fine. The Senior choir sang pretty new antherms Sunday morning and were complimented. Trustees John Collins and Warner and Deacon Johnson and all of the church officers invite all members and friends to be true to Metropolitan. Come to church next Sunday, August 5, and join and follow Christ. CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD Elder A. S. Maysfield, Pastor. On last Sunday, July 29th, service was grand and excellent at the Church of the Living God. Pastor Maysfield preached a good, soulstirring sermon. The Sunday school was lovely and was excellent. The Bible Band was called to order at 6:45 p. m. by the president, after the business part was over. Elder Maysfield gave all the members good instruction in behalf of the Bible Band. He said some wonderful things. Service was begun at 8:10 p. m. after several spiritual songs. Elder Maysfield ascended to the rostrum. He preached a wonderful sermon.

The services throughout the day were excellent with splendid attendance. The pastor preached a very inspiring and logical-sermon from the subject: "The Gospel of the Other Side." Text, I Cor. 13:12: "For now we see thru a mirror darkly; but then face to face. Now we know in part; but then shall we know even as also we are known." The mirrors of Paul's day were not glass as our mirrors. They were metal. The best mirrors were made of silver. How costly they must have been even the best mirrors were imperfect and poor people could not own one. When we recall the reflections we have seen in polished metal we recognize the aptness of these words. Now we see thru a glass darkly. Four things are spoken of in this verse—dim sight and full sight, partial knowledge and complete knowledge. Now and then are the words used The halting hesitating. Now is balanced by a triumphant Then. We lack full sight and complete knowledge. We labor under limitations in vision, and meager knowledge all of which leads me to my subject: There is a Gospel of the Other Side. First there is the other side to every event. The poet wrote: The inner side to every cloud Is bright and shining: Events are like clouds. They have two sides. Many a time if we could only see the other side of an event we would learn that like the cloud it has a silver lining. Some of our lives are filled with events some of them dark, hopelessly dark, but every event has another side. Look for the other side and learn to say, "All events work together for good to them that love God." There is the other side to every question. The air is full of questions, political, religious, social, economic, and to each one there is another side. We cannot fully understand them all. Bye and bye that which is in part shall be done away, and we shall know Jesus said render unto God the things that were God's and unto Ceasar (the rulers or parties of the world) the things that are Ceasar's. Jesus says: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy soul." Jesus says: "Whatsoever ye would that man should do to you, do ye even so to them." Jesus says: "But the very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." O leave it to Him. God will take care of you. There is the other side to every life. I may know you very well, but there is a side to your life I do not know. I cannot and may never know. If we could know the other side of some lives, what heroes and heroines would be found among the common folks, while vice versa many whom we prize as great would be found wanting. Judge not that ye be not judged. We know only in part now. Lastly there is the other side of life itself. How we plan, how we worry, how we wear ourselves out as though this were all of life, this is but one side, the larger side is the other. Oh yes, on the other side are our loved ones, the poet sings: "Over the river faces I see fair as the morning looking for me, Free from their sorrow, grief and dispair, waiting and watching patiently there."

At the United States Department of Agricul- ture testing plantation at Whitesbog. four miles east from Brown Mills, N. J., about 25,000 blueberry hybrids have now been fruited. Many of them, according to the Scientific American, have produced berries three-fourths of an inch in diameter, several four-fifths of an inch and one of them this year reached almost seven-eights of an inch. ‘World's Largest~ Camera. _ The largest camera in the world is in the Department of the Interlor In Washington, It weighs 7,000 pounds, occupies two rooms, and takes a ple ture one yard square.

S. --- right place. I do not mean to say unkind things about anyone, but I am of the opinion that this representative of the United States government was not used to speaking to our people. He seemed to think that he would have to have a certain kind of speech for one class of people and another kind of speech for my people. He talks about the "you people," and he told them that he thought that there should be separate schools in Kansas in order that colored graduates might get schools to teach. Then he touched the question of social equality, and this is where he touched my blood. But now, let me tell you I don't know anything about this thing you call "social equality." I have never understood it. There has always been and always will be social differences among the human family. Every fellow makes his own social selection, and this cannot be changed by law. There are white people and white people who do not associate in a social way. There are classes of white people that the Postmaster could no more get into their social realm than I can for he cannot reach far enough. He belongs in the middle class. He gets his appointment from the President of the United States, and is a man on salary, and his skin cannot make any change in his condition. I only say he must let the social question alone, and let us take care of ourselves along that line. Small Loans I had the pleasure of hearing a literary production, what one would call a literary gem freighted with thought. It was the annual address of Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson. He took up every phase of the work, touched the state questions, and then made some recommendations touching the future of the grand lodge. It was wonderful and all enjoyed it. But I must not forget to say that the mayor made an address, short and sweet, but he stayed away from the Race Question. He showed common sense. I was delighted to hear that wonderful response made by Attorney I. F. Bradley of Kansas City, Kansas. Mrs. Norene Davis, who is at the head of the Calanthe, made a great address. She was crowned the real queen of Calanthe. It is wonderful how she is in the hearts of the women. All they want to know that "Norene" wants it and it is done. With that smile she can do wonderful things. Both were re-elected. I wish that I had time to mention all the grand lodge and grand court officers, for they are scholars, men and women of thought and truly leaders. But the people opened their eyes Thursday afternoon when Brigadier General Thomas Kennedy, on that prancing horse, a military horse worn or ridden by a military man, headed the parade, and believe me it was fine to see the general at the head of his army. There were female officers and female company in line. The white people of the city donated their automobiles as did our own people, and the automobiles which brought their owners to the grand lodge and grand court, and honey there were some automobile car carriages in line. I fear you will have me to bury, because I have the big head, and they tell me there is no cure for it. When a horse gets it they kill him, but a man, they wait for him to die, and that is my case exactly. Now why all this? Well, I rode in the automobile car carriage of honor with Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson, M. D., Grand Worthy Counsellor Mrs. Norene Davis, and Attorney I. F. Bradley. Now that's going some, don't you think. It looked to me as if I would faint two or three times, and the only reason was I did not have money to pay fine, but I just said "Glory to God in the highest" as I rode through the streets, and the people looked at me.

Roberts of Wellington, Grand Treasurer of the Endowment Board. Are you ready for the National Negro Business League, August 15, 16, 17., in Hot Springs? It is going to be some meeting, and the Governor of Arkansas will deliver the main address of welcome. I wish you would be there. Already I have had a check from a friend to pay my fare, and I have a certificate from Secretary Holsey by which I can get a round trip ticket. Have you one? If not write to him and get it. Then to the Supreme Lodge, and from there off for the National Baptist convention. I will bring this letter to a stop right now. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Mrs. Dessie Jackson has returned from a visit with relatives and friends at Texarkana, Ark. TO THE POINT Sincerity stumbles at self-interest. Industry is the mother of good luck. Work today but plan for tomorrow. Uneasy lies the head with a price on it. Words are all right when backed by brains. The crying need of a childless home is a baby. So many edibles sell entirely on their looks. If bread doesn't rise in baking it's a flat failure. You beat planned work; unplanned work beats you. To err is human; to be cheerful about it is divine. With some people life appears to be a continuous sleep. Can you love your neighbor in spite of his spite fence? Evolution is useful. It "explains" inexplicable things. Small talk is responsible for the use of many big words. Some people are vain because of their many defects. If you look for a soft snap, you will find hard lines. The man who listens to a political orator gets the stuff. The price of popularity is a willingness to be bored. Grins are contagious, but laughter becomes an epidemic. He who is ashamed of his calling has no call to follow. Many a young man's gems of thought are mere paste. Laughter is the sound a man hears when his hat blows off. A happy medium ought to make good at a spiritual seance. You'll never make good unless you take an occasional chance. It's always hard to convince a pretty girl that love is blind.

D. 1923. (SEAL) JOHN T. SIMS, Probate Judge. (First published July 27, 1923) It takes a bunko man to appreciate fully the good things of life. We all have money coming, but it seldom arrives on schedule time. There are many to cut a stick when the fight is over.—Japanese Proverb. Men naturally dislike to sit down on tacks, but not on the tax collector. Some men get out of practice because they spend all their time preaching. Tearing up a letter one is about to send is regretted one time out of forty-nine. Fortune knocks once at every man's door, but misfortune camps on his front step. Ever notice how much better a stolen kiss doesn't taste than the real thing? Keeping your mouth shut is an easy way to keep from hurting people's feelings. Men's fashions in hair change, but you have to watch the youngsters to notice it. Cyrus Low says he hasn't got any use for butter spreaders—either silver or human. Press-agented "phenomenal will power" stirs up a lot of phenomenal stubbornness. Some of our most doubtful theories are that certain circumstances would make us happy. Let the carving knife be dull. It is the best excuse the head of the family can have. Idleness is emptiness; the tree in which the sap is stagnant remains fruitless.—Ballou. What the dalryman needs is a milk strainer which will leave in a few of the dollars for him. Trust in. Providence and repose some confidence in what common sense can be mustered.
