CITY Kansas City, Kansas, June 13.1924 At the call of the afternoon session there were quite as many more who had arrived for this meeting, making more than a hundred of representative men and women Lawyers, doctors, teachers, editors, successful farmers and business men were present. The women were well represented and their presence and counsel were of much consequence to the carrying out of the principles and plans of this organization. After the president gave in detail the object of the call and congratulated the colored citizens of this great state on their liberal response to the call, Lawyer T. W. Bell of Leavenworth, president of the Progressive League, was called on for an address (Continued on page 3.) INDIAN CLUSION AMERICA HOUSE SENATE (Copyright, W. K. U.) THE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL SESSION OF TEACHERS' SUMMER SCHOOL Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, June 3—The fifteenth annual session of the Summer School for Teachers opened Monday, June 2, at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, with an opening day enrollment of 648 teachers. This number is twelve less than the total enrollment last year, and 32 short of the record breaking attendance of 1922. Registration opened Saturday morning and at the close Monday afternoon there was, yet a large number to be registered and still others are expected to arrive during the second week. These indications point to the largest enrollment in the fifteen years of summer school work at Tuskegee Institute. The unprecedented attendance this year is due largely to the extension of the Summer School Session from six weeks to twelve weeks and the crediting of the work done during the Summer Session toward a regular Tuskegee Institute Diploma. Special courses for Jeanes Supervisors, principals of schools, vocational teachers under the Smith-Hughes Act, and teachers in Rosenwald Schools, which are being conducted, have also drawn large numbers. Another addition to the regular course of study which has attracted many teachers this summer is the Junior College Department which offers splendid opportunities to graduates of accredited high schools in Business Practice, Teacher-Training in Elementary and Secondary subjects and teacher-training in home economics. This department was well filled in all of its several divisions when work began Tuesday morning. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, stated that the Summer Session will be divided into two distinct terms, thus enabling those who cannot remain for the twelve weeks to complete special courses of study as in previous years, and the second term which opens July 7, will offer similar advantages to those unable to attend the first session. The present enrollment, however, is for the entire Summer Session. IN MEMORIUM In loving memory of our son, husband and father, Booth Smith, who passed away a year ago, on the 10th of June, 1923. Just a thought of sweet remembrance Just a memory fond and true, Just a token of affection, A. B. SMITH, Mother. E. F. SMITH, Father. LULA B. SMITH, Wife. GEO. BOOTH SMITH, Sor EDWARD FRANKLIN SMITH.

THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER On invitation I went to the Macedonia Sunday School and there made a few scattering remarks to the children, and the grown-ups, too. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Dr. C. B. Young, who is on his way to the episcopal honor in his church. He was voted for in Louisville and will land in 1928. He was delighted to hear my sweet voice, and invited me to preach for his people Sunday night, as he was going to have communion Sunday morning, and thought that my Baptist religion would not permit me to take part. He also invited me to eat chicken with him Sunday, and I accepted both. He is indeed a fine man, and I was delighted to meet Mrs. Young once more in life. Dr. Young's father has returned to God, and will not have the pleasure of seeing his son a bishop. I do not know whether or not I told you about the Sunday school but I am going to make a letter about it some day. I am still in the world. I PROMINTENT LOUISIANANS VISITING HERE Mr. and Mrs. W. R.

There have been many changes since and the part of the city that was destroyed by fire has been built up again. I was passing through the town, and Rev. P. W. DeLyles heard that I was going through and he came down there, got me off of that iron horse wagon and toted me to his parsonage in his automobile car carriage, and there bade me to rest my bones, but before taking the rest, he had me to go to the high school and hear a wonderful address by Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college. He was talking to the getting graduated young people. He said some common sense things to them. I have always admired Dr. Joseph A. Booker, because he is a worthy man. I am sure you will remember Dr. P. W. DeLyles and his wife, and then they called for the nurse, Mrs. Ova Brooks Lewis, and she came over and looked at me, and made me some eggnog, which went to my egg-nog eternity. She is at the head of a hospital there in the town making more nurses. She is a remarkable young woman. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Booker's daughter, and the principal of the school and other friends, and then off to another part. After spending the night in bed, bright and early the next morning, I was on my way to Dallas. Went to Sapulpa, changed there, and then off to Sherman, where Dr. A. N. Prince met me in his automobile car carriage, toted me to his home, furnished me with some milk and bread, which went into my eternity. I spent fifty minutes in town and was off for Dallas. Do you know Dr. Prince? He is one of the finest men in this country, a man of skill, for he is some surgeon, and then he is a man of science, knowing all about the human body. He is a doctor of grade one, and we are proud of him. He has a remarkably fine wife and she is devoted to all of his friends. Soon I was headed for Dallas, reaching there Saturday evening I went to the home of Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, one of the secretaries of the National Baptist convention, and pastor of the Macedonia Baptist church. He is some preacher, and a man who is kept busy all the time. I was delighted to have the pleasure of seeing this remarkable man, and observing what he was doing for his people and for us all. I have told you about him and his companion from time to time and I will not have anything to say about them now. I had been in Dallas for a long time and many of my friends were delighted to see me, and I have had several invitations to stop with new friends. Many people in Dallas were anxious to see Col. J. O. Midnight, to see if his name could be observed in his color. cE a a a ia I fea ea aoe BIST ATS SA ae pertain cto ned Tag a adr Ln LA gates ae er ae ok as ot ayes a RE NETO a es RR ales SL a NaN ene pee UR fact na gt Oy rena gage i a aR Tg oa a Berea t hs os Leer Cn: PAGE TWO § THE KANSAS'CITY ADVOCATE —- . “| FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1924, By mo a ee oh yee ceded Sie a? pet gdh SRentat sg SaGheh tee ce tes ih eet, e Seadt aiet gala a og she ee Rade Same te setta Sr nce SEE tot Ron Ta MY fon ugg Beattateits 2 dT wt tt Dal Seta) hel ct RS SOS ee ic at ae le ie ot td earoee en es * rN cote oo Ne oe hs (Se ee coe iy Seats bis ic SUEES S SrA A aS pS ARS Mr Peay Cai ae Mesto THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. 1 —_—_——oeoo THOS.

Ad: dress Field Department, The Amer- ican Workmen, 716 Eleventh street N. W., Washington, D. C. Sage Whispers ‘There is no little enemy. Heaven favors good intentions, Shallow waters make most din, He loses thanks who promises and delays. He who censes to pray ceases to prosper. None Is a fool always, every one sometimes, To master one’s self is the greatest mastery, All wisb to live long, but not to be called old. The fire proves gold, adversity, strong men. A man with a big heart frequently talks too much, He was scant of news who told that bis father was hanged. Words often shake our convictions, but seldom overthrow them, A boy-loves all dogs, but he has rave doubts about a lapdog. Always prepare for the worst—the best Is able to provide for itself. ‘The best reply to a prophecy is an- other forecast.

A man is well fortified if he has some excellent prejudices, : ‘The musician who sald that Jazz Is dylig doesn’t live in our neighborhood. A man profits more by the sight of an {dlot than the lessons of the learned. A man may be more cunning than another, but not more cunning than all others. It is almost always the fault of the lover not to know when he Is no longer loved. * Get on the crapper of a good, stout hypothesis, and you may ride round the world. The violence that others do to us is often less painful than that we put ‘upon ourselves. 7 Cape for Men’s Gloves Cape is the leather most frequently used in men’s standard glace or graln feather gloves, and also for the heavier types of women's strap-wrist and short gloves. The name signifies a South African skin, but it has also come to be applied to Russian, French, Spanish, Turkish, Greek and domestic leathers, ranging in value in the order named. The stock is finished-with a chrome alum tannage which makes It wash- able, and consequently weatherproof. Although most of the skins described under the term “cape” are often called lambs, the term is most frequently ap plied to French lamb, which is used in @ manner similar to kid. French lamb skins are of high quality, but they lack the close‘grain and the wearing qual- ity of kid.—Exchange. Willing to Square it Mose was equipped with rod and basket when he bumped right into the parson, the latter being headed for church, “Where to, Mose?” asked the good man, gently. “Well, parson, to tell the troof, I'm going fishing.” : “Now, Mose, don’t your conscience burt you?” . “Yes, It do, If I has any Jack I'll Jeave you a nice mess of fish.”—At- lanta Constitution, Careful Batea—The young medical student seems to take very good care of him- self. 7 Gatez—Yes, he overdoes It, 1 wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he didn’t use a sterilized toothpick and rubber gloves after every meal. Activity Increased “A medical expert says most men today are more active than their an- cestors.” = “Yes, in dodging the automobiles modern.man’s activity has been great- ly increased.” Cleanly Spoken ‘The boy was homie at last. He had tried his luck out West In the mines for five years, with little success. And now he was broke.

Happy Childhood Days “Did people ever pat you on the head and make remarks about your being a bright boy?” “Oh, yes,” replied Senator Sorghum. “They sald I might be president some day. Infact, those happy childhood hours brought me about as pleasant, and also a reliable, a presidential boom as any I have ever enjoyed.”— ‘Washington Star.

I, F. BRADLEY, JR., Atty. for Plaintiff. (First publication June 13, 1924.) POMPEIIANS ALIVE TO VALUE OF PUBLICITY, Inscriptions on Walls Reveal Customs and Thoughts. Let us go Into one of the complete \ly uncovered Pompelian streets, The first detail that attracts our attentlor is the varied decoration of the house fronts, Frescoes, caricatures, illus trated signs, drawings, inscriptions— this extraordinary imagery gives what one might call malicious eyes to ever} wall and a most persuasive tongue It, ig evident that gayety once reigned in this popular thoroughfare and from the variety of texts in scribed on the walls we understanc that, among the passions of the epoch politics held an important place writes Edouard Schnelder in L'Iilus tration, Paris. (Translated for the Kansas City Star). Here women freely confess thel: preferences for this or that candidate for the triumvirate, edlleship, decemvl rate or some other public office. A number of the Inscriptions are plain: ly of nocturnal origin: “Thou with the lantern, bold my ladder firmly.” Three gladiatorial notices appear or the front of a house once occupied by; Trebio Valente. “Gneus Alleius Nigi dius Malus, at the quinquennial games without expense to the public, wil stage combats between twenty pairs of gladiators and their substitutes Pompeius, Savelllus, ‘Tigillus anc Clodius.” The second tnforms us of a similar combat, adding the information that “there will be a combat with ferocious beasts and the velarium will be stretched across the amphitheater tc keep off the sun.” The third, still more picturesque, invites the public to a spectacle which will be given in the amphitheater tc celebrate the dedication of the pub lic archives in the Forum of Pompelt It tells us that Gneus Allelus Nigidius Majus’s gladiators will fight; that there will be a procession, an animal bunt, and that the amphitheater will be protected by the valerlum, One odd detail is that the man who wrote the notice has inscribed his name, Ocella, In the “o” of the word “Dedi: catione” and winds the whole thing up with a salutation to his beautiful and beloved Nigra, whose likeness he bas painted above the salutation. In another place a hopeless lover la- ments: “Marcellus loves Proenestina and hath no rellef from it.” Here also is the wise advice of a morallst: “One should imitate and not envy.” Another touches us as evidence of the warm friendships of the ancients: “On this spot we two have become brothers, very dear and forever." But perhaps the most serene of al) and the most despairing beneath Its profound wisdom-is this, written by some unknown philosopher from the depths of his experience. “Nothing can last for eternity. The moon at Its fall may disappear the next instant; and behold how the sun, which but now arose, Is vanishing Into the sea.” Moral Effect | It was at the end of the third race and the bookmakers had been doing very badly, Having paid out practical- ly all he bad, one bookle found him- self confronted by a heft-looking In- dividual, who presented a demand for payment of 5 to 1 In tenners, and just behind this individual was another little man to whom the bookle’s Ha- bilities amounted to more than $100. The bookle jumped down and rushed at the bigger fellow: “Tl see you hanged first!” And with that he hit the claimant a terrific blow which stretched him out, “An', now, wot do you want?” he yelled, turning to the meek man, "I—I,” spluttered the little chap, as he slipped his ticket back Into his pocket. “I—I only came up to say that I thought it served that other chap jolly well right!” Step on lt Kathryn, aged four, was enjoying her first big trip with her parents After traveling by automobile, train and boat, they arrived on a Sunday at Mackinaw Island. Her parents decided to go to the little white Mis. slot church to rest and meditate, Kathryn was restless and fidgety, The minister mounted the steps of the pulpit, then stood lost in thought for moment, as he looked over the walt: ing congregation. A small tmpatient voice broke the deathllke silence with this question: “Mother, what's the matter with the engine? Why‘ don't we start?” Plant Bankhead Highway The soldier dead of Jefferson coun- ty, Alabama, will be, honored by the planting of 800 trees along the Bank- head highway. The trees will be water oaks, and each marked with a tablet, The American Tree associa- tion of Washington, D. O., says this planting at Birmingham will be but a starter for the highway's beautifica- tion plans. The association sends Tree day programs and tree-planting suggestions to all organizations plant- ing trees. “Ringed” by Auto Tire Frank Kane was gathering corn on bis farm near Cedar Rapids, Ia., when something weighty struck him. He dis- covered that. an anto tire had been hurled through the air and made a “ringer” over his body. Looking up, he saw an auto, driven by an uniden- tifled motorist, rapidly disappearing down the road minus one tire. KANSAS POLITICAL LEAGUE | SSS -Earl D. Clark Insurance (Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) time to Dallas, next tall, hence 4 will not tell it all. I heard the Rev. J. B. Pius preach Sunday morning in New Hope Baptist church. It was to me a source of pleasure to drop in and see and hear him. I had the din. ner, Dr. Wilson and his wife fur- nished me with ice cream. Then I went to Bethel at night, and met many people. Prof, E, C, Carr was there and he shook my lily black hand and invited me to visit his home, and this invitation was backed up by his wife who is a member of the choir of ‘the same church That is one of the mos! singingest choirs I have heard since T have been the color that I am, say- ing nothing of the time when I wa: white. Mrs. Mary E. Well, the wife of Attorney Well, shook my lily black hand and said her husband had ofter spoken of me and he knew me. Bright and Early Monday morning 1 was up and on my way to Fort Worth. A young lady, Miss Ander- son, toted me over in her auto- mobile car carriage. It was a nice ride. I got in touch with Dr. A. B Borders, who toted my trunk to his office and told me to be at home with him and the others. He is one of the leading physicians and surgeons ir town. He has in his office an effici- ent clerk and attendant, Miss Clarice Dillingham. She is well trained as far as I could see, and polite and cour- teous, She was willing to write some letters for me. Then I met Mme. D. A. White, the author of the “Lim- ousine System” for growing hair, and the like, Here I am for the purpose of at- tending the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and I had the pleasure of getting in through Grand Chancellor Willis, and I am here to tell you honey that he is one more Grand Chancellor, and a wonderful man. I was so proud to see and talk with him. I must take time and tell you just a few things about them Pythians, It is the strongest fraternal organization in this country, having over a half-mil- lion in one year, and that is the one which has just closed, They have added over 6,000 members in one year, and still they are going up. Came within forty-one of making seven thousand. I feel like taking off my head to Grand Chancellor Willis. Do you know that it is a crime to succeed in a world like this with a big organization behind you. You see this has been the case, and Grand Chancellor Willis is in the position of Guliver when he fell in the hands of them Liliputians. They are sitting, standing around looking up, and would destroy the work that he is doing and then go back and get him. This has been done, for the men who could see the six thousand per, were on hand, and were ready to take the job or de- stroy it, The first thing they came with an injunction, directed from some court and a judge. I do not remem- ber the name of the Judge, but I think the court was 96. I am sure that 4 lawyer had nothing to do with that supposed legal document, for it was so full of holes that it meant abso- lutely nothing, and honey them Pythi- ians went right on, made their re- ports, elected all the officers, and the men who had tried to destroy were on the outside so to speak singing “No one to welcome us home.” I do not mean to say anything hard about them. I like to see a man aspire for big things, but don’t de- stroy it if he can’t get it. If any fellow wants the job filled by W. S. Willis, let him run for it,andif he is defeated run again and again and again and still again. No harm to run and it is less harm to get de- feated. Willis has made his place in the hearts of the men. He is not hoggish, but his has been a life of work and real work at that. Prof. L. B. Kincheon has been on the road all the year, giving his entire time to the work. He is the vice and stands right by the side of Grand Chancellor Willis.

The meet- ing has been of vital interest to all Not a mere meeting for lodge pur- poses alone, but they meet to take in inspiration for the members, Prom- inent men are invited to the lodge from all parts of the country, and this time they had Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, a leader of men. He made some real addresses for both Grand Lodge and Grand Court; Major R. R. Jackson, was down from Chicago, and W. W. Andrews from Jacksonville, Florida. Grand Chancellor Wickham, from Oklahoma and there were still others whose names I do not recall, I was there. I shall never forget the Grand Court which is another great big body, and as wealthy as the Grand Lodge con- sidering its size. None in the country can go ahead of these women, Mrs. A. D. Key is just a leader of women, and I am here to tell you that she is a remarkable woman. Strong women are right by her side and they are backing her in her work. That means suecess. They have handled some money also. They had some guests and don’t you forget it. They had such women as that great woman from Georgia, Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, from Augusta, Georgia, Grand Worthy Counselor of Georgia She is inspiration within all that goes to make it. Mrs. Grant was on hand, and she is from Georgia, and Miss Luela Law- son from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I have just had a big time, and during my stay in the city I was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. F, Rivers Burnwell. I had a big time with them. I have had the pleasure of coming in contact with some of the news- papermen. Of course I saw ©. F. Starks, and Editor of the Dallas Ex- press. He is a brilliant man, and I want to see the time come when he will devote his entire time to a big paper like that. The Dallas Express has its place and it is making senti- ment for us. Editor Rice is well edu. cated and is a good newspaper man. I have in mind many other things that I would like to say to you, but will refrain from doing so this week. Hope to hear from you again soon. Send me a letter to 621 South 8th street, Louisville, Kentucky. J O.
