Vol. XI MIDNIGHT WRITES FROM STATE OF PRESIDENTS Columbus, O., May 29.—If I would attempt to empty my mind this week it would take a whole paper and then you would have to furnish some side boards to keep it from running over, for I am certainly as full as a tick because I have been some and have seen some few things and then I have heard some. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines last week I was in Newport News, Virginia, but bless your soul honey, things have happened since then. I was with the Baptists in their big annual convention, and I heard a few men there and saw a few others, and now comes the time that I will have to have a few other things to say to you. When I got through with the convention, I went to Richmond, Va., to spend just Sunday, and I had the pleasure of speaking in the Third Street African Methodist Episcopal church, with the Rev. J. S. Harcher, pastor. He had gone to Jacksonville, Florida, to make a few scattering remarks, and left the rest up to me. He has made him some sensation in sation in this town, called Richmond, by taking up an attempt to follow in the footsteps of the late John Jasper, "The Sun Do Move." I do not know whether he wants to be the second edition of Rev. Jasper or not, if so then he will have to go down into the water and come straight way up out of it. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with the people there and breaking to them the bread of life from God's word. Sunday night I went over to South Richmond and spoke in the church where once pastored the late Daniel Webster Davis, and they received me gladly, and some of the people declared that I look enough like D. Webster Davis to be his brother, but he is among the angels and I am still walking around in this sin cursed world. Davis was a great man, and I did not object to having them tell me that I looked like him when he lived, but not like him dead. After church in company with the Rev. Dr. M. C. Allen, in his automobile car carriage we were off for Franklin, Virginia, reaching there about 2 o'clock Monday morning. Went to sleep and before leaving visited the schools, and then off for Suffolk, where I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams, in their home. It was a fine visit to this wonderful home. Mr. Williams is a man of wealth, and has made his handling hams and other properties. He has the distinction of furnishing some of the leading people in America with Virginia hams. A few hours were spent there and then off for Norfolk, where a night was spent, and I made it to Richmond, and I am not going to discourage you, because next I made it to Washington, and here is where I must dwell or talk for a while. For a few weeks all eyes are turned on Washington, and especially on Howard university, for there has been a strike there. Upon my investigation I am fully of the opinion that the students did not exercise common sense in this strike, and it will not do the race any good. It would appear to me that they want to be the faculty or regulate the faculty, and to make a social affair out of school life instead of getting down to study, and leaving the social business until they get out in the world. They would do it all if they could, and have the teachers obeying their rules. During this strike some things have developed, and I was indeed sorry to hear of them. I do not know whether or not you have heard of them or not, but I do know that I have. I was informed that President of Howard University is president of some kind of a something in Boston, Mass., where one of my people cannot even look in the door as janitor or waiter, and if this be true then he is truly a heluva man and he does not belong to be at the head of a Negro institution, but all of this will be ironed out. I went on the hill, and things were normal up there, and all busy as could be. I called to see the secretary-treasurer Emmett J. Scott, but he was out. He is one more busy man and these are busy times. He is a remarkable business man—I would call him a genius and a man who is doing all in his power for his people. He lives not for self, but for others. You will have to know that Dr. W. E. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress was right at the stable with his automobile carriage and toted me over to his home, put something under my belt, and then toted me around during my stay in Washington. He is a fine man and a fine family to match. His son-in-law Mr. Adams, was delighted to see me, and he took hold of the Dallas Express and devoured every line of it. He is from Texas. Several days were spent in Washington, but I did not call on the President. Both of us were busy and did not have time to call on each other. Off now from Washington, I got a bed on the Baltimore & Ohio and went to bed about 10 o'clock waking up the next morning in Pittsburg. It has been a long time since I was in the smoky city. When I decided to go that way, I sent a hurry up letter to Dr. J. C. Austin, one of the most remarkable preachers of this country, and pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church. Perhaps no man in Pittsburg is able to get as many people to hear him as this little intellectual giant. I found him at the stable waiting for me. He is a man who knows how to drive his automobile car carriage and he knows by name all his private secretaries who stand in the middle of the street and give him the lodge signs as he passes by. Dr. Austin is all energy and brains. He is a lover of youth, and every Friday night he has in the church a picture for the youth. I don't know when I have seen so many boys in church at night. He selects the picture and sees that it is elevating. The children are admitted to this picture free of charge, and they are there. Among the boys we have some bright minds. Dr. W. Augustus Jones, is pastor of the Central Baptist church, but honey he has had his trouble, and at the time he is now having some female trouble. He told a fine singer sometime ago, that he could not live without her, and now he is telling the courts that he cannot live with her. He is like the boy who caught a cub. He found it easy to catch him, but was calling all people everywhere to help him to turn the young bear loose. Along time ago his wife fled and went to heaven, and he found another one in Cincinnati and they made googoo eyes at each other, and declared that they were twin souls, hence they were united as one. Now Lord they no longer honey bunch, sugar, darling, pie, but it is all the other terms not used in the Sunday School quartelies. We will see if the courts of Pennsylvania will put apart what God hath joined together. I was not there long before I was in touch with many friends. Mrs. Ova Brooks, of Terrell, Texas, had me to come to the private sanitarium of Dr. J. B. Booz, where she is the head CITY ONE SWAT NOW WILL SAVE MILLIONS LATER (Copyright, W. N. U.) nurse, and where she is doing good work. He is one of the do things doctors. He has on his card, "Electro Therapy—Intravenous Mediation—a specialist—Radio Thearpy — X-Ray Examination by Appointment." You will have to look in your own dictionary and find out what all this is about for I don't know. It is a nice place, and his wife is one more busy woman as well as Mrs. Ova Lewis Brooks. Next found me in touch with the Rev. Dr. C. E. Askew, another big preacher and a christian gentleman. He was called to this city from Raleigh, N. C., and is doing wonderful things. His wife declared that I must come right on out there and be their guest. She is the daughter of the late Bishop Bebee, of the C. M. E. church and a remarkable man at that. She is a great church worker. The Lord has blessed their home with a son. It was not long before I was in touch with Mrs. Ida Christine Council Buchanan, and she in turn put me in touch with her husband, Prof. Walter L. Buchanan, the husband, was for a long time president of the A. & M. college, Normal, Alabama, successor to one of the greatest educators we have given to the world, William Hooper Council, who has gone to his eternal rest long time ago. Mrs. Buchanan is the daughter, and the only daughter of the family. She was his heart. Prof. Buchanan gave up the school work some time ago to become editor of the Competitor, which took a trip up Salt River and has not had manner enough to return. In this the young educator lost, I am told something like $5,000, but he did not take his life, smiled, looked to the future, and said that there was still more money in the world and he was going to have some of it. He went into the real estate business. His wife smiled with him and told him to remember that God had given him health and strength, and he could if he would come back. He is in good shape now, and I was delighted to spend the night in their palatial home. I could just write a full paper about my trip to Pittsburg, but will have to go back. I will have to tell you about James Edgar Allen, who has on his card "Adjuster of Finance—Status Quo." Now what in the hen feathers that is I don't know. He used so many big words, and I did not have a step ladder to get up to him, hence I had to pass on, by looking him in the face and saying: "Yes sir." He has all the dictionary in his head. I just wondered how such a small head could carry all the things he knew. My head was getting to look like beads, so I went to the hair adjuster around the corner and told him I wanted to get my head cut off and he told me to go to the morgue, but I did not. I had one more big time in Pittsburg, for a day, and was soon off for this place, and the Rev. A. J. Allen, the son of his father was at the stable waiting to greet us, which he did, and had me in his automobile carriage, for his home, and then to the home of Rev. J. H. Burks, D. D. pastor of the Shilch Baptist church, Mt. Vernon and Hamilton avenues. Put it down that I told you that they ADVOCATE BROWN'S METROPOLITAN CONCERT COMPANY RENDERS A HIGH CLASS PROGRAM A Return Date Thursday Night, June 4th at First A. M. E. Church The Brown's Metropolitan concert company made its first appearance to a Kansas City audience Wednesday night at First A. M. E. church, corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue and gave one of the highest class programs that has been the pleasure of a Kansas City audience to hear in a long time. Every member of the company is an artist. The company is a talented one, made up in chorus, solos, quartettes, singing from the sweet southern melodies, to grand opera. The company by request will give a return date Thursday night, June 4, at this same church. It will be under the auspices of St. Luke church, one of the mission churches of the city. This company is on its way east, from California where they filled engagements of several months. Mrs. Anna Brooks; the mother of Mrs. Ada Diggs, 1012 North Third Third Street, who has been quite ill for three weeks, is much improved and able to be up. Mrs. Josie Walker, 334 Everett avenue, will leave Monday for Little Rock, Ark., where she will visit relatives and friends for a few weeks. The funeral of Mrs. Johnson, 619 New Jersey avenue, was held from First A. M. E. Church Saturday afternoon. Rev. C. E. Brooks delivering the eulogy. are putting up one more great big church in this place. It will be the best auditorium in Columbus. I am proud of this remarkable preacher. But I will have to talk about his church and work in my next. They have had one more Old Monkey and Parriot Time in Philadelphia, and I am told that they had to call in a police officer in the Philadelphia conference. I am not prepared to tell you the facts in the case, but I do know that Rev. J. C. Beckett has been appointed pastor of Bethel, the mother church by Bishop W. H. Heard and the Rev. Dr. H. P. Anderson is in West Chester. Will talk about it another time. Methodists are learning to do things like us Baptists. Rev. Fred Douglass, of Baltimore, has staged a split in Bethel, and he has organized another church—I don't know what it will be called, but I am sure it will not be another African Methodist church. The Baptists are the only people who fight, split, and increase, the other people, fight split and decrease. We are like the cats and the more we fight the more Baptists we have. We are now getting ready for our Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress on 23rd in Wichita, Kansas. People are going to be there from all parts of the country. I will bring this letter to a sudden stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Swat 'em Now SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 CITIZENS' FORUM ELECT OFFICERS. The Citizens' Forum had a pleasant meeting May 24.

ONCE GOOD MONEY, NOW WASTE PAPER Dealers in old paper take notice! The Jugoslav government has fifteen carloads of waste paper for sale. It is all that is left of billions of Austro-Hungarian bank notes, called in and replaced by dinar notes. Jugoslavia was constructed out of Serbia and several parts of the old Austro-Hungarian empire. Along with the increase in territory Jugoslavia inherited an inflated currency. First the bank notes circulated on a basis reduced from the inflated value, and later, were stamped. Afterward the stamped notes were exchanged on a basis of four crowns for one dinar. Now dinars circulate throughout Jugoslavia, and Austrian crowns are not legal tender. Exports are greater than imports, and the dinar shows a tendency to appreciate. The Jugoslavs like their dinars and do not mourn the crown. The national bank officials found that the old crown bank notes were taking too much space, consequently they are to be disposed of as old paper—fifteen carloads of them. It is not often that so much money goes so cheaply. SAGE SAYINGS Early ideas are not always true ideas. Enthusiasts soon understand each other. Near acquaintance diminishes reverent fear. Sometimes you make an enemy by not butting in. It sometimes pays a man to pay others to be good. Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner in his joy. Optimism is a stimulant. What's the harm in large doses of it? A woman changes her mind so often that it keeps her busy speaking it. There is no man suddenly either excellently good or extremely evil. Don't get into the habit of talking to yourself, if you are easily bored A man seldom sick thinks he is going to die whenever he falls ill.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Gossips make no discreet exceptions to the maxim that publicity is a good thing. No wonder political platforms view with alarm. It is a common habit of everybody. The longer a man is married the less he dodges when his wife throws things. The man who is too lazy to stand up and tell the truth is apt to lie about it. The innocence of the intention abates nothing of the mischief of the example. Some women mean what they don't say a great deal more than what they do say. Most things go wrong because men refuse to take women's advice—so a woman says. Food enters little into the problem of the farmer's cost of living. Most of it is of the best. Famous Religious Order The Francigans were a religious order founded by St. Francis d'Assissi about 1200. In England they were called Gray Friars, in allusion to the gray mantles worn by them. They appeared in Great Britain in 1220, and at the time of their suppression by Henry VIII in 1530, they had more than sixty abbeys. The Franciscans were vowed to chastity, poverty, and obedience, and lived an austere and ascetic life. Among their number may be mentioned Duns Scotus, Roger Bacon, St. Bonaventure, Cardinal Ximene Alexander of Hales, and Eilliam of Okham. St. Francis was canonized by Pope Gregory IX in 1228.—Kansas City Star. Drink Habits of Cattle Those who are acquainted with the habits of live stock in the more humid regions might be surprised at the way in which these same animals would meet conditions in the semi-arid regions of the west. The cow that slakes her thirst every few hours in the succulent, stream-furrowed pastures of the East or Middle West, in a dry country would wait much longer before travelling several miles for a drink, says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Recently representatives of the bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture, made observations on the number of times cattle go to water under different conditions in the range country. The evidence showed that for most cattle it is a long time between drinks, a matter of days rather than hours. The cooler or wetter the weather the less likely they are to go to water more often than every second or third day. In dry, hot weather many of them go every day, but others go only twice every three days, or once every other day. In one region in New Mexico the conclusion was reached that for the best interests of range and stock in level country, watering places should not be more than five miles apart. Important Naval Battle The famous naval battle of Trafalgar was fought off Cape Trafalgar, Spain, October 21, 1805. The English fleet numbered 27 ships of the line, and were commanded by Admiral Nelson. The combined French and Spanish fleets, under the French admiral Villeneuve, numbered 33 ships. The allied fleet was signally defeated after a bloody contest; their three admirals were taken, and 19 of their ships were captured, sunk or destroyed. Nelson was mortally wounded in the action, and the chief command devolved upon Collingwood. The victory of Trafalgar crushed the naval power of France, and put an end to Napoleon's projected invasion of England.—Kansas City Star. --- THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E.

MARGARET HALL, Reporter Authority to Kill A bill has been introduced in the Danish parliament wherein doctors would be authorized, to put an end to the lives of patients suffering horrible, painful or incurable ailments. The bill requires that the request for release must come from the patient. Under the old and present law, taking a patient's life under such conditions puts the physician under a charge of manslaughter. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.

HENRY MEADE, (Seal) Probate Judge: (First Published May 15, 1925) --- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE CHAMPION MONARCHS OPEN SEASON WITH VICTORY CHAMPION MONARCHS OPEN SEASON WITH VICTORY An Impressive Ceremony Preceeded the Game Rube Fosters American Giants of Chicago Here For Five Games The 1925 season of the National Negro Baseball league opened last Saturday, May 23, at Muehlebach field, Brooklyn and Twenty-fourth streets. The Detroit Stars were the opposing team to the two time champion Monarchs of the National league. A parade down town of the two teams, with 300 gaily decorated automobiles and two bands brought every thing to a halt on the route. At the park preceding the game, impressive ceremonies were made. Western university cadet band of 40 pieces, dressed in their white sailor uniforms and the Kansas City band vied each other in concert music for an hour before the game. The Lincoln High School cadets and Boy Scouts of six companies each demonstrated their military genius. Mayor Beach of Missouri and Mayor Gordon of Kansas City, formed the opening battery, Mayor Beach pitching the first ball and Mayor Gordon receiving the white pill. While the Detroit Stars won three games out of four from our boys at Detroit and stepped off the train here last Friday leading the league, they left Wednesday night with only one scalp out of five games hanging to their belts and that one only after a thirteen inning battle, a 3 to 4 score. The Honorable Ruben Foster and his American Giants of Chicago rolled in old K. C. Wednesday night for a five game series, starting Thursday and will close with a double header Sunday, the first game starting at 2 p. m. The Monarchs are coming into fine trim, with the box artists rounding up in fine shape, now holding first place. Saturday, May 23. The score: DETROIT— AB. H. O. A.
