--- KANSAS Vol. X 5000 ATTEND ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY BISHOP A. J. CAREY DELIVERS BACCALAUREATE SERMON. Presiding Elders' Council and Trustee Boards Meet. GOV. JONATHAN DAVIS GIVES FINE ADDRESS TO A CLASS OF 85. Thousands Enjoy Big Barbecue Free Dinner. The Twenty-sixth Annual Commencement of Western University has gone into history, which was held yesterday (Thursday) when 85 girls and boys received diplomas and certificates. The address to the class of 1924 was delivered by His Excellency Governor Jonathan Davis, which was a heart-to-heart talk to each member of the class. Governor Davis' address was highly complimented upon for its strong appeal for a greater Western University and his sincerity of offering his service in any way to make a bigger educational center for the race. Bishop Archibald J. Carey delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the Senior class last Sunday afternoon, at 3 p. m. Three thousand or more were present. The sermon was one of great power and strength to anyone. His subject was "Look Up At the Stars." While Bishop Carey has only been here since Sunday, he got in motion these few days the entire district, starting Tuesday with the presiding elders' council, when a large number responded and on Wednesday from 10 a. m. to late in the evening he presided over the University trustee board when over $2000.00 was reported by the ministers who had only been requested two weeks ago to report as much as possible. Thursday at 10 a. m., the bishop presided over the State Board of trustees, when the superintendent of the state institution was re-elected and others. The largest number of ministers attended the weeks exercises that has ever attended a commencement. Bishop W. T. Vernon, who lives at Quindaro, and was assigned to the Fifteenth district, attended the day's sessions and was called on a number of times by Bishop Carey for counsel, as he had a number of years of personal experience and contact in both school and state. The president, Dr. F. Jesse Peck, was commended from both boards for the splendid and efficient management of the school. Free Barbecue to 5000. Fully 5000 feasted on the big free barbecue dinner, with gallons of coffee and bread. Many visitors and parents of students from many states were present during the week's program.

The Twenty-sixth Annual Convention of the Negro National Educational Congress will be held in Philadelphia, Pa., June 12-16. Our object is to aid in lifting the standard of Negro citizenship. Do you think that this can be done? If so, How? Many thoughtful men and women hold that the greatest impediment in our pathway to higher ground in the civilization of today, is jealousy. How can this be eliminated? Do you believe that the goodwill and friendship of the white man is absolutely essential to our advancement? If so, how can we get it? Is the lack of unity among our people responsible for the existence of the intolerable conditions that confront the Race? If so, how can we unite? Is there anything wrong with the Negro Education in this country? Are there any hopes of the crime wave of the youth to be checked, if so how? These and other important questions will be discussed by the representative members of the Race. Are you interested. One and one-half railroad fare for all. For further information call Fairfax 3961.

CITY VACATION TIME (Copyright, W. M. U.) CHICAGO IS PREPARING FOR ROYAL RECEPTION TO GUESTS Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 5. In discussing plans for the forthcoming celebration of the "Silver Jubilee" and the Twenty-fifth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League, which will be held in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 21, and 22, Dr. Robert R. Moton, president, stated today that one entire session of the meeting will be turned over to the "League Founders." Some of those who attended the meeting at Boston, Massachusetts, twenty-five years ago, have since passed away but there are yet many alive and still active in business and who have followed the fortunes of the League from its beginning. This special session will afford them a splendid opportunity to hold a sort of a reunion. Reminiscences, tributes to the League's departed leader and other appropriate features will compose the program of this special session. Chicago Is Preparing. Chicago is preparing to give the delegates to the meeting a royal reception. Letters from the officials of the Associated Business Club, which will act as host to the League this year, convey that information. Mr. Robert S. Abbott, president of the club and editor of the Chicago Defender writes: "The enthusiasm with which the members of our club are taking hold of the preliminary work for the entertainment of the League is most encouraging." Mr. Jesse Binga, president of the Binga State Bank and secretary of the Associated Business Club says: "We are arranging to hold the sessions in the Wendell Phillips High School and all of the details of the local program are being worked worked through our committees." Mr. Claude A. Barnett, director of the Associated Negro Press, and transportation agent of the National Negro Business League, announces that he is bending every effort to secure the lowest rates and best service possible on all roads coming into Chicago.

ADVOCATE ELKS HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICES Ranger Lodge No. 417 and Ranger Temple No. 244 Improved Benevolent Order Elks of the World of Kansas City, Kansas, held their first annual memorial services Sunday afternoon at First A. M. E. Church, Rev. C. E. Brooks, pastor, delivering the sermon, he being a member of this order. The men made a fine showing on the streets, led by the K. P. First Regiment band. The ladies met them at the church in large numbers and looked very attractive in white. A very attractive printed program of the order of services was nicely carried out, with much appreciation by the vast audience. Visiting lodges, who attended were Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City, Mo. N. W. Thatche, Past Exalted Ruler, was master of ceremonies. MEMBERS OF BOARD EXTEND HEARTY WELCOME TO NEW PRESIDENT To Mrs. T. J. Richards, our newly elected President, Greeting: elected President, Greeting: While we feel the loss of Mrs. Lyons, our Past President, we extend to you a hearty welcome as leader of our Board and pledge you our united support in extending the work of this organization over a broader territory. As the poet has said, let us say, "Character is to be ours—and the worries of the world and the fears, glooms, phantoms will back into darkness and will climb the hill of character with love's sunshine on our faces; memory's melodies on our lips and character's courage in our hearts. We shall pass this way but once, so we will scatter seeds of kindness, plant roses, pull thistles; we will reach down to the uplifted hands in shadow land; we will show sympathy to aching hearts. Mrs. F. D. Gleed, 2324 Lydia avenue, entertained with an afternoon tea Thursday, May 29, in honor of Mrs. Spratling of Denver, Colo. Fifty ladies were present from the two Kansas Cities. Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Stovall, formerly of this city, now of St. Paul, have purchased a new five-passenger Dodge touring car, with all the latest and complete equipments. Rev. J. S. Bowles has been called to the church at Weston, Mo., and filled his pulpit last Sunday. Rev. Bowles was received by members and friends of this church with open arms and a great day was spent in the service of the Lord. Rev. and Mrs. Bowles moved in Monday with Editor Kennedy, 834 Nebraska avenue. Rev. J. S. Bowles, 834 Nebraska avenue, left Thursday morning for Richmond, Mo., to attend the Mt. Zion Baptist Sunday school convention, which closes June 7. Ready, Boys THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER BOARD REGRETS LOSS OF PRESIDENT After four and one-half years of service as President of the Pastor's Aid Board of the First A. M. E. Church, Mrs. Ida Mae Lyons lays down this great work to assume other responsibilities. The officers and members of this Board consenting to this change do so with deep sense of loss to the special interests we represent. Mrs. Lyons has led this organization in aggressive and enlarging effort, with clear vision, undaunted courage and commanding power. Her friendliness and kindly fellowship have won all our hearts as her intellectual strength and fine Christian character have won our admiration and confidence. She has planned wisely, persuaded graciously and pursued her way boldly. Her presence and her counsel will, it is hoped, be frequent in our meetings, while she may rejoice in being permitted to look with great contentment and joy upon the work she has been enabled to do. She may also feel that she has opened the way and set an example for her successors. To the officers and members of this Boad she remains an inspiration for good and in them her influence helps to keep open the channel for the Spirit of Christ. In behalf of the officers and members of the Pastor's Aid Board, I voice this appreciation and extend good wishes for the future of Mrs. Ida Mae Lyons. METROPOLITAN B. Y. P. U. GIVE PROGRAM The B. Y. P. U. of Metropolitan Baptist Church returned the compliment Sunday evening to the Junior Allen Christian Endeavor League of First A. M. E.

MIDNIGHT VISITS GREATER KANSAS CITY; CALLS ON MANY FRIENDS Kansas City, Mo., June 6.—Already the Lord has started out to call men to the Episcopacy, and the men are going to keep Him busy for the next four years, and when the general conference is over there will be as many mistakes then as there were in Louisville, Ky., and who will be, I am not prepared to tell you, but you just keep your eyes on me and you will see the coming of the salvation of the Lord When I wrote you that other letter, I was visiting Charles Stewart in his new home in Chicago, and when I got through admiring it, I made it to St. Louis, and I am glad that I went to that city, for I was made to rejoice, and feel exceedingly glad. I am glad that I am anchored in Jesus, and He claims me as one of His own. When I got to the city, I found that Pierce-Arrow automobile car carriage belonging to the Poro college, wating to convey this frame of mine out to the greatest institution of its kind in the whole round world. It came from the brains of Mrs. Annie M. Malone, who is without a doubt one of America's greatest women. She is not an accident, but what she is represents preparation. She shows to the world the possibilities of our young women, who will. She was at one time as poor as Job's turkey hen, but she had in her the spirit of Christ—pure but pure, and the desire to do something and before she could do that something she realized the importance of preparation. She had to work her way through school, being an orphan girl and at the same time she got some help from her sisters who were her seniors. I am not going to enter into the discussion of Poro, and how it was accomplished, but I do know and you know that they have a great building, covering a whole block. This has placed her at the top in her line, but you will have to believe me when I tell you that she is not living for self, but for others, and right by her side her husband, one of the greatest men in this country and a high-class layman in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It was when I reached town that I found Mrs. Malone had spent the day in raising money for the orphan home in St. Louis. She is chairman of the local board, an recently they had erected for them a home, and it has to be paid for, hence she had brought to her assistance some of the leaders in affairs in St. Louis. They found it necessary to borrow some money to complete the work and an effort was made on Sunday to get money enough to pay off the debt. When she called all responded. The sacred and benevolent societies turned out in all their glory. There was one more street parade. People who have lived in the country or in the city of St. Louis declare it was the largest and most complete parade ever witnessed in the city, and they marched for charity. All the money raised went to the cause of the orphans, and it was a liberal contribution to the cause. I was so glad to see this and I want to here take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate Mrs. Malone. Prof. Aaron E. Malone is the treasurer. He was not at all well, hence had to remain in bed while it was all going on. But that is not all I was not in Poro long Monday morning before I saw automobile car carriages rolling up and out of them would step representative women. In this number was Mrs. C. R. McDowell of Hannibal, Mo., and she told me that they were preparing to celebrate the golden anniversary of the Heroines of Jericho, a female branch of Masons. They had been in existence for fifty long years and all the living past grand most ancient matrons would be present. Everything was ready for them, and they were in town. One from Seattle, Wash., one from Pueblo, Colo., one from Denver, one from Chester, Pa., and other places. It was a wonderful meeting. I met some of the past matrons, some old and some not so old.

A cutting remark: "The lawn needs mowing." Good at a distance is better than evil at hand. The taste of the kitchen is better than the smell. He that takes too great a leap falls into the ditch. The hatred of knaves is preferable to their company. He is doubly sinful who congratulates a successful knave. More things come to those who don't wait than to those who do. Moon, Ages Ago, Was Splinter From Earth Many millions of years ago the earth was not the hard, solid mass that it is now; it was a soft, semiliquid globe, consisting of matter in an almost molten state. Scientists believe that at this time the moon was flung off from the earth by what is called centrifugal force. Any spinning wheel gives an example of this force, which endeavors to throw outward matter that is adhering to its circumference. It is centrifugal force that makes the rear wheel of a bicycle splash mud onto the clothing of the rider. The earth in those far-distant days used to spin much faster than it now does, and as it revolved it tended to fling off great masses of matter from its surface. These would collect together in the form of a gigantic "blob" at one point on its surface, and eventually the "blob" was flung into space, where, owing to its own rapid rotation, it soon become the globe which we call the moon. They Know Beans If some one attempted to tell a certain six boys in Hollis, N. Y., that there isn't any money in farming, they would reply, "You don't know beans." These boys, members of a junior extension club, borrowed money from a bank last spring, hired one and one half acres of land, hired a tractor to tow and harrow it, staked off six equal shares and planted beans. When the crop was ready for shell purposes, they had 144 bushels, which they shipped by truck to the Boston market. With the returns they paid off the notes and had a net profit of $73.77, which paid them more than $1 an hour for the time they actually spent. —Boston Globe. Seeks Old Sweetheart An almost daily visitor at Doctors' Commons, Knightrider street, is an old man who is determined to find out if a sweetheart of his youth ever married, says a London (Eng.) dispatch. For weeks he searched the records without revealing his object, but one day he said that many years ago he was engaged to marry and had obtained the license, but the wedding never took place. Having made a fortune, he now desires to trace his former fiancee and atone for her disappointment of years ago. Boy's Handicap "A boy is at a disadvantage in an office," said Brown. "I thought the cry was all for youth and pep," objected Smith. "It may be. But a boy is at a disadvantage just the same. He has to think of automobiles, whether he has one or not. He has to think of canoes, golf, girls, shows, mandolins, baseball, vacations, race horses, dancing and business." "Well?" "While an old married man has to think only of business." His Record "See that old feller tottering along on the other side of the street there?" asked the landlord of the tavern at Peeweecuddyhump. "That's Hod Durnit, our oldest inhabitant." "H'm!" responded the hypocritical guest. "What has he ever done of any consequence?" "Done! Why, cat-fetch it, he's lived here all his life!"—Kansas City Star. Pertinent Question "With this machine," argued the agent, "washing is made so easy that you can dispense with the services of a laundress." "But, will it tell me all that is going on in the neighborhood?" inquired the woman.—Boston Transcript. Sliding Down the Icing "Will you join our party in the jam preserves?" asked the first fly. "No," said the second fly, "the lady of our house has baked a cake with icing on it. We're going in for winter sports."—Louisville Courier-Journal.

O. MIDNIGHT. (Continued from Page 1.) C. R. McDowell was one of them, and she is one more active woman, and then I had the pleasure of meeting the present Most Ancient Matrons, Miss Zenobia H. Shoulders, a young woman—in fact, I was informed that she was the first single woman to fill such a high and honored place in the order. It was because of her wonderful ability. She is one of the best trained young women in the city, and a teacher in the public school system. She is a woman who knows business, and then she is educated to her people and not away from them. I don't know as I have seen a young woman loved by so many people since I have been in the world. But I tell you we have some strong, well educated women and men in this country, but they are not so well known. Just to think of it, we had an organization in this country fifty years old, seventeen women who have presided over it are here, and one honorary grand matron. I just have to say "Praise God." I had a fine time in and around the city, and had the pleasure of visiting the Argus office, and you will believe me when I tell you that they now have a real plant. They keep three of them setting up machines going and a number of presses, and then all the other things that go to make up a complete newspaper office. The newspaper is in a great big roll, and it is started and that press cuts, prints, counts and folds the paper all at the same time, and that is doing some business, I am here to tell you. I certainly did enjoy seeing this. We are making some headway in this world and are going to make some more. We are just doing things. We have decided to do just what any other people can or will do. We are turning our graduates from schools and they have to be kept busy. You must not sit down and think the white man is going to displace his to make room for ours. We must make it or we must perish. After spending a few days in St. Louis looking at friends and others, then I was soon on my way to another part of the world. I started bright and early one morning for this place. I got in town before 6 o'clock and the Rev. Dr. Edward Wittenburg was awaiting my arrival. I am sure that you know of this young minister of the African Methodist Episcopal church. He has worked his way from a newsboy in New Orleans to one of the most aggressive preachers in the African Methodist Episcopal church and you may put it down that I told you that he will be selected by our Heavenly Father as one of the bishops in the church. He is well trained. He is a man, and then he has a clean life. His life will commend him to his people and our people also. I would that we had some more like him. He is a man with a family, sons and daughters, and they are all of worth to the church and will be of value to the race. He is educating them and he is a believer in education. After spending the day or so with him and meeting Editor Thomas Kennedy, the man who got to dreaming in Louisville, and thought that some one had lifted his watch out of his pocket and after three days found it under his pillow. I suppose the place where he stopped did not spend much time about making beds, for just think of a watch remaining under a pillow for three days. Such is life in Louisville. I had the pleasure of going to the home of Bishop W. T. Vernon, who will have charge of the district embracing Michigan and other points. He is fixing up his home, and will live at home now. He has spent his first quadrennium in South Africa and will be succeeded by Bishop John A. Gregg, and he will do some great things here. I have made up my mind to devote a whole letter to Bishop and Mrs. W. T. Vernon. Get ready now for the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress. Great things are to be accom- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Base Ball Double Header Sunday, 15th, 2 o'clock Ladies' Day on Friday General Admission 60c Games Called at 3 o'clock plished during these days, and you must prepare for them. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. I have been in company with Dr. S. W. Bacote, and he is one of the best trained preachers in this part of the world. He is a man, every inch of him, and I am glad that I had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful character. You may send a letter to me at 222 North Roman street, New Orleans, Louisiana. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Early Morning Interview Not on Daily Schedule C. C. Hamlin of Colorado Springs, newly named Republican national committeeman from the Pikes Peak state, was a visitor in Washington soon after this political honor came to him, and was guest at luncheon at the White House. Mr. Hamlin never leaves Washington without a good story attaching to his visit. This time the story has to do with a very early appointment—an 8 o'clock appointment, to be exact. The man the new national committeeman was to see arrived at the hotel at five minutes of eight and called Mr. Hamlin on the phone. The latter was just tumbling out of bed. In five minutes, nevertheless, he was in the lobby, unshaved, of course, and not so tidy as usual, but in the lobby just the same. The two men were together for an hour and a half, and then, as the caller was leaving, he said: "Well, Clarence, what are you going to do now?" "Me?" said Hamlin; "why, I am going back to the room and get up."—Washington Star. Europeans Turning From Billiards to Golf Links Billiards, first played so long ago that even historians have been baffled in their efforts to trace its origin, is losing popularity in Europe, according to various authorities, who attribute this to the general increase of interest in golf. There are no positive records just where and when the game of billiards began, but some historians report that during the rambles of Anacharsis, the Scythian philosopher, through Greece and other countries in quest of knowledge, he witnessed a "game analogous to billiards," and he liked it very much. Catkine More, king of Ireland in the Second century, is known to have left behind him 55 billiard balls of brass, with pools and cues of the same material. Billiards became popular in France during the reign of Louis XIV, whose physician recommended this form of exercise. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.
