Kansas Citys Will Ever Stand..... as a Living Monument. In the death of Rev. J. F. Griffin, who passed away at Douglass hospital last Saturday evening, August 30, at six minutes past eleven o'clock, takes out of this community a churchman, civic worker and a Christian gentleman of the highest ideals. No man ever came to this community, who was more active in every uplift of the ```markdown ``` REV. J. F. GRIFFIN Whose funeral was held Wednesday and tenderly laid to rest in West Lawn cemetery, Kansas City, Kansas. race and humanity than he. He was a preacher, teacher and philosopher, and his counsel sought by every enterprise of his race and church. He was large of mind and soul and was never known to aspire for things of honor of which he could have had many, but was always striving to help some one who seemed to be climbing the rough side of the hill. A great man has fallen. 1923. This couple had no children, but adopted daughter, Miss Alma Griff who graduated from Western University two years ago, and was a just at Tabor college, Tabor, Iowa. Some of the ministers who attend the funeral out of the city were: R. T. D. Scott of Atchison, G. M. man Leavenworth, H. L. Pope Wita, J. R. Ransom Topeka, Chas. Dr. Griffin was transferred from Mobile, Alabama, the spring of 1917 to pastor the First A. M. E. church and for six years and six months served this congregation with a success, that brought wonderment to this congregation and the entire city, both spiritually and financially. Douglass hospital was heaviest on his heart of any one thing and he soon paid off an old standing debt of $1,300, and then his ambition was for a new Douglass, which he accomplished last year, where he breathed out his lifelast Saturday evening, at the corner of Lafayette avenue and Walnut boulevard. He was also greatly interested in Western University and had been for several years secretary of the Trustee Board. He superintended the building of the new Parks Hall, which was burned last spring, and in his weak condition, was looking after the rebuilding of this hall. Other things he served with success, in his six years here, was president of the N. A. A. C. P., president of the Civic League and treasurer of the Childrens' Orphans' Home. He was sympathetic, liberal and never turned away any one that sought help. Last year he was transferred to the Southwest Missouri conference and assigned to Ebenezer church, but being a sick man when he went he never realized his desire of what was in his mind to accomplish for this congregation and church. His congregation, was like that of First church, loved him and did every thing that human hands could to make things about him the best possible. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 2 p. m. when thousands paid their respects to a hero of two cities. The church was packed at 11 o'clock and more were on the outside than were in. Bishop Parks not being able to be present, who was to Vol. XI preach the funeral, his friend and presiding elder, Rev. J. Felix Isaacs, delivered the eulogy. There were no other change of the program, aside, Scripture lesson, which Rev. Mr. Bronson of the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, he being out of the city, Rev. H. L. Pope of Wichita served instead. Telegrams and condolences were many, but only mentioned, aside resolutions from First Church and Ebenezer. Those present of relatives were his sister, Mrs. Jane A. McDonald, who is in her eightieth year, from Wheatly, Arkansas, Mrs. Victoria Gates, niece, Wheatly, Arkansas, Mrs. Lorena Campbell and daughter, Josephine, of Des Moines, Iowa; Mrs. Tobe Griffin, niece, Brinkley, Arkansas, also several cousins of Missouri, and Mrs. Nancy Greer, a niece of Chicago. The remains were tenderly laid to rest beside his wife, Mrs. Nancy Griffin, in Westlawn cemetery, who preceded her husband the 22nd of March. . 1923. This couple had no children, but an adopted daughter, Miss Alma Griffin, who graduated from Western University two years ago, and was a junior at Tabor college, Tabor, Iowa. Some of the ministers who attended the funeral out of the city were: Revs. T. D. Scott of Atchison, G. M. Tillman Leavenworth, H. L. Pope Wichita, J. R. Ransom Topeka, Chas. Williams, St. Louis, Mo., T. W. Green, Jr., Lawrence, J. T. Smith, Hutchinson, his brother, Rev. Smith Arkansas City, and M. C. Knight of Lincoln Nebraska. The floral offerings were huge, beautiful and many. Among them was the deceased's arm chair, interwoven with roses. Dr. Griffin was only in the prime of life as to age, being born in 1868, but that double duty of mind and body added to his years one could multiply his age by two which would nearer fit his age of service. Rev. James Foxk Griffin lived a life of service. A GREAT MAN HAS FALLEN. Programme Processional—"Lead Kindly Light" Choir Hymn No. 486 Rev. Edw Wittenberg Invocation.....Rev.

What Was That? ? What Was That? THIRD PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN (Copyright, W. N. U.) EDITOR KENNEDY VISITS OLD HOME. Editor Thos. Kennedy after a months visit with his brothers and sisters and many friends in Ohio, who he had not seen for ten years, has returned home. He has three brothers and three sisters in the Buckeye State and nephews and nieces galore. This was the first visit to Ohio since coming to Kansas ten years ago. He visited relatives and friends at Zanesville, Athens, Marrietta, Barlow, Belfre, Columbus, Wilberforce University, Xenia, Cutler, and spent some time in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Also the Fowlers near Cedarville, old friends made while in Wilberforce. Editor Kennedy says the one great enjoyment of his visit, was visiting the old home place out of Cutler two miles where his parents lived for 45 years, before their death, which is still owned by one of his brothers, but not occupied, being used for hay and pasture. Another dear spot was the old country school house near their home. There, he said, he still found foot prints resembling his, only they were somewhat smaller. The teacher last year, was the wife of one of his nephews, Mrs. Willifred Kennedy and he being so young when his uncle last saw him, he did not remember him on going back. It was an enjoyable visit and every neighborhood when he left had less chickens than when he struck it, but he says they have plenty to spare. Most every one had changed from the old road wagon and buggy, and now ride behind-the wheel of a Ford or a Cadalac and was motored over the larger part of Ohio. Editor Kennedy says the Sunflower State still looks good to him. OUR RECENT PROPERTY BUYERS Mrs. Lena Christian, modern home, 431 Stewart. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Fields, nice home, 1948 Thompson.

ADVOCATE MY APPRECIATION Owing to my leaving for a visit with my folks in the east the evening of the Primary Election, and only returning this week, this is my first opportunity through the press, to extend to the electors of Wyandotte county and the other 104 counties in Kansas, my appreciation of their loyal support in the August primary for Auditor of State. I want to especially thank my group of people, who seemed to catch a new vision for the future boys and girls of our especial group. What honor may have come to me, although not successful, every individual of the race in Kansas, shared equal of the same. I want to thank also those of other races and especially those in Wyandotte county, for their liberal support, and while I am grateful, my race in every county in the State, is no less appreciative. It would be unkind and less than a man if I did not thank personally the Kansas Political League, who sponsored my campaign and may you pardon me for personating a few who spent time and money for my attempted success. I wish to refer to Attorney Dorsey Green, president of the Kansas Political League of this city, and Professors P. G. Porter of Salina, and J. P. King of this city, who campaigned among our people in the State. Others were equally interested and worked just as ardent in their several communities. 834 Nebraska Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.

Utility of Yucca Tree The yucca tree, which is indigenous to the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, is very useful to man. It bears no leaves, but each one of its branches terminates in a knob from which springs a huge bunch of long, bristle-like spines. One of the most delightful of toilet soaps is made from the spinous bunches, which are bolled to extract saponaceous substances. This species of yucca has long been known to Indians as the "soap tree." When they want to wash themselves, or their garments, they simply take a piece of the yucca to the nearest convenient water and rub it with their hands, thus obtaining an immediate and profuse lather. The bristly bunches make a very superior cattle food. No Romance in Trombone Search as you will in love's fair record, you will never find trombones in triumph at a moonlit casement. Thelrs is the bitter ecstasy of abrupt dismissal. Had Paolo blown a trombone at his mistress in the soft Italian night, the chapter of their passion would have been broken short. And why, therefore, should a man of conquering heart, whose eager sinews throb with youth, spend on the trombone the unwrinkled years of his majority?—Charles S. Brooks in the Century Magazine.

MIDNIGHT SAYS HE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE DEVIL IS A-MAN OR WOMAN, BUT BE- LIEVES HIM TO BE THE FORMER Washington, D. C., September 4. As I take my pen in hand to write to you this week I am in Washington, as you can see, but before you can get through reading this letter, I will be in Nashville, Tenn., looking at the Baptists hosts arriving and you may put it down that I told you it is going to be one more great big meeting. Of course you will be able to see just what has been accomplished by the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist convention in the construction of that wonderful building, and it will show just what the race is capable of doing. It says to the world that we are no longer considered babies in civilization, but full grown men and women doing business for the Lord and for the whole race. We will be forced to take off our hats to that business genius of the race, Dr. A. M. Townsend, the efficient secretary, and all those who are associated with him. Just to think when completed and furnished will have put over half million dollars in it and all to be paid by the Baptists and other members of the race. I am just as happy as a Junebug, because I am able to say to the world that we are not pigmies, but full grown men and women, in mind, soul and body, and we are producing thinkers. We are not crying "Poor downtrodden race," but we say to anyone who would attempt to walk on us, "you will get off faster than you got on. We carry the olive branch of peace, and at the same time we tote along the sword of the spirit, and while our weapon is not carnal I would advise you not 'to get in the way. Forty-three years ago, in Frankfort, Kentucky, I heard a woman, and it was the first time in my life I ever heard a woman try to preach, "a lie will go fifty miles while the truth is trying to put on its boots," and I find that there is some real facts in this. I could not understand then, but I have understood it in the past few weeks, since some men have been getting over this country. Every possible effort is being made to discredit the real work of the National Baptist Convention. People have been told that the National Baptist convention did not own anything, that the publishing house belonged to the white folks—in fact that all we are doing belonged to the southern white people. This lie has been manufactured by the "Rev. Dr. Vandye Whiskers," from some parts of the world, and I shall pay my respects to him in full later. Come to Nashville, and see for yourself. I had a big time in and around Chicago, and as I told you last week, enjoyed myself in the National Negro Business League, and heard many things said about Dr. Booker T. Washington. I was there the day that Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons was appointed to take charge of the speakers' Bureau and Publicity Bureau for the National Republican Committee, and he is as busy as can be jumping around like a chicken with head cut off, and there will have to be some jumping done and did too, to retain President Coolidge as the head of the nation. He is a great man, clean, honest, and interested in his country. He is trying to lead us in the right direction, contending for the right. He is one of the best men who has ever been in the white house, and I think we should keep him there for the next four years, and if so you will have four years of prosperity, four years of happiness. We will not go hungry, but there will be plenty for us all. We are all going to join Col. Simmons, Mr. Matthews, Miss Hallie Quinn Brown and all the others in making it go. Let it be when the verdict is rendered next November, that Number 3 (Continued on page 3.) THE KANSAS CITY ___ADVOCATE ___ THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. ——— THOS.

The main theme was “Christ healing the nobleman’s son.” Jno, 14:6. “I am the way, the truth and the life.” He preached so real- istic, that scores shouted for joy; and some united with the church. The ‘Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. had fine meetings also. The prayer meet- ings are so good that many times per- sons are converted at them. At 8 p. m, he preached another great ser- mon, which caused others to audibly praised the Lord. The premium rally workers reported and Mrs. Francis Thompson reported $202.50, and re- ceived the silver knives and forks; Mrs. Ida Wood reported $200.65, and received an oak rocker; Mrs, Mabel Booker reported $142.63 and received the 3rd prize; Mrs, Lulu Thompson, $51.63, received 4th prize; Mrs. Ethel Dinkins, $39.20, received 5th prize; and Mrs. Mittie Washington $37, re- ceived the 6th prize. The other ladies and workers did well, and the total thus far of all workers was $1146.43, which was excellent for these hard times. Pastor Bronson had Prof. Harris to present the prizes. He also thanked| all workers himself, and thanked all| who gave money in the rally. It was a prosperous day for the church, Pas- tor Bronson asked Mrs. M. C. Mat- thews to give out the literature to those who will take religious training at the white Baptist college (Septem- ber 7-12) to teach in the Religious Educational schools this year. He also asked her to write the funeral notices of the late Rev. J. F. Griffin. All en- joyed the church services and next Sunday the Lord’s Supper and Bap- tizing will be administered. All are invited to attend Metropolitan church. We were shocked to hear that Mrs. A. S. Dow had been in an automobile wreck, and had two ribs broken. We pray that she will be able to be brought home from Carthage, Mo., where she was trying to recuperate her health.

"Sec. 3. The governor, secretary of state and state auditor are hereby authorized and directed to issue bonds of the state of Kansas in a sum not exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000), to provide funds for the purpose set out in section 1 hereof and to pay the expenses of the administration of this act: Provided, That such bonds may be issued in installments from time to time in such amounts and upon such terms as may be necessary to meet the payments of compensation as the same are allowed.

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) it will be in favor of Calvin Coolidge, and Charles Deneen, senator from Illinois. Iam going to vote in Chicago, where my vote will count for one, and it will be a strong vote telling Governor Deneen to look after the interest of all the American people. He will do it I am sure. I don't know whether the devil is a man or woman, but his name suggests that he belongs to one or the other, and I am inclined to take him for a man, but whatever he is he is certainly getting in some good licks, and he is winning many saints for his summer—no I should say winter resort, for I am told that there will be no winter there, but all will be hot, and you will not be permitted the use of a palm leaf fan. Now that will simply be hash-e-square-lull. Are you going to spend your days in that clime? Last Sunday night I went to the Julia Johnson home in Chicago in company with Charles Stewart, and his wife, C. M. Webb and his sister, Rev. W. M. B. Scott, and his wife, and I just felt like saying all the cuss words at such Tom foolery, which came directly from the devil. It was what as known as a "Spiritual meeting." They certainly had some sweet singing there, and a little short fat woman sat in a rocking chair in the middle of the floor in one room, and that was Mrs. Julia Johnson, the woman who has direct connection with the spirits of the departed, and they come back and hold conversation through her to those who are left behind. I looked at her, until they had me moved to a part of the house where I could no longer look in her spiritual eyes. After singing, then a man with a tenor voice made his talk. It was a charming voice, one that would attract. He told of his dealings with the spirits. Now what do you think of that man telling us that they were in direct communication with people in Mars, and other worlds. He told of what messages these people had sent down here to us. I just asked myself why in the hen feathers the world did not know this. He says that the people were arranging to make a trip down to us, to pay us a visit. Well, he just talked and talked, and then when it was over, they took a collection. During the collection, I was able to get back where I could one more time look in the face of Mrs. Johnson. After the collection was over, then they put out all the lights, and being in the dark they began to talk to the dead. I heard the muffled voice of man, seemingly he was in destress, and wanted to talk to some woman, who was about to make an investment, and a little woman right in front of me spoke up and asked: "Is it me dear spirit?" The answer came yes, and she was told not to make the investment for she would lose. The next time, he wanted to talk with a woman in whose house was a crazy man. "That must be for me dear spirit" said a female woman's voice, "for he tried to take my life before I left home." "Yes, you better have him put up, and do it tomorrow, or there will be more trouble. Get him out of the house at once." "Thank you dear spirit," and the people clapped their hands after telling the spirit good night. There were many others who talked with the spirit, but all was well until the spirit walked to talk with "Charley," but believe me when I tell you that there were two Charleys in the house, Webb and Stewart, but bless your soul neither of them answered, but I believed they turned red in the face, and Webb left the city the next day for Tuskegee. Now as for Stewart, I don't know where he is. The dear spirit had an important message from a woman who had left this world, and she had told of the hand of a boy who was murdered and wanted to talk with Charley, but that fellow would not answer. This was the closing scene and I was glad of it. After making announcements concerning the meetings for the week which would cost from one to ten dollars, the congregation was invited down to the tea room to buy lunch and refreshments. I just invited myself to the street, and you will believe me when I tell you I got out in a hurry, and will not return again soon. I want to here pay my respects to Prof. N. W. Collier, from St. Augustine, Florida, the president of the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, the man who is interested in the work he is doing, and I am proud that he is doing the work that he is. He is a man among men, and I am sure you will agree with me, when I tell you that some white men, representing a state school went to him, and wanted him to accept the position of president at a salary of $5,000 per and proceeded to try to show him why he should accept. He hardly gets one-third of that amount, but told him that the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute was a weak baby and he should remain with it, and after making an illustration, they name them a man, which he did. They could not understand why a man of my race should refuse big salary, but this man has decided that there was more in life than a dollar. He will live on and on in the hearts of the people. He has the right idea of the work for which he was placed in this world. God give us more like him. I left Chicago and made it to this city, but before you can even open the paper I will be away. I have seen the President of the National Race Congress, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, and he is on his way to Nashville and others will follow him. Dr. S. J. Johnson, the new secretary of the Church Extension Society of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is getting ready for his new work. He is furnishing up the quarters, and his family is in Washington already. He is the right man in the right place and he is doing good and Texas will be proud of him. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. You may reach me at the home of Rev. J. C. Caldwell, Scovil street, or at the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, Nashville, Tenn. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

Few suffer in silence; and too few do anything in silence. Talk of young people delights old ones if it is discreet enough. If one is not really democratic, he boasts of his democracy. You can't keep your own halo bright. Public opinion does that. If there is character in your face, people don't forget who you are. Everything smart has been said; but everybody doesn't know that. Any man can be well-groomed at times, but only a genius can stay so. If one is placed in the role of grandfather, he hopes to be grandfather of six. A girl who begins by fooling her mother may end by fooling her husband. What a town man envies most in a farmer's life, the farmer values least: His solitude. Foolish as we all are inclined to be, we readily recognize sense when it is uttered. Some men always know what the style is—and often without saying a word about it. There is no soul in the reformer who wants men uplifted so that he will be more comfortable. Never kick a man for calling you a donkey unless you are anxious to prove the truth of his assertions. It is the custom in many of the towns in Brittany for all couples who become engaged during the year to be married the same day. Comfort in Thought Briggs and his wife were starting out for a ride in the car. "I tell you, we don't get out in the open enough," Mr. Briggs observed. "Nothing like—This car isn't working like it ought to! Only hitting on three." "Maybe we had better go back," Mrs. Briggs suggested. "Nope. It's all right when it gets warmed up," Mr. Briggs spoke with assurance. Just then they came to a hill and the car climbed to the top only with great difficulty. "Guess I'll have to take a look and see what the trouble is," Briggs announced. He pulled over to the side of the road and got out and raised the hood. After a short investigation he raised up and announced to Mrs: "Just a spark plug missing." "Well," commented the Mrs., "Isn't it just fine that you have theft insurance?"—Kansas City Star. Good Memory It was an American tourist's first visit to Edinburgh, and he made numerous inquiries of an old native of the town regarding places of interest. After the old man had satisfied his thirst for knowledge in regard to things romantic and historic, he inquired: "Well, I'm no' verra sure," replied the Scotsman thoughtfully, "but last year it was on a Wednesday."—Edinburgh Scotsman. Possible "Come on, Peo-ple! Come on, and view the wonderful petrified man!" roared the barker outside of the tent which had been erected on a prominent corner in Wayoverbehind. "He was turned to stone while asleep, and remains in the same attitude and condition today!" "I believe I'll go in and take a look at him," said Farmer Flintlock to his companion. "My hired man disappeared about ten days ago, and likely as not this is him."—Kansas City Star. By L. F. Van Zelm © Western Newspaper Union OF THAT MADE DIFFER- TES I WO THEY OF THE UP SAY!
