St. Louis, Mo.—The whole race join in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone on the new home of the Poro College, the greatest, largest and most complete commercial building in the country owned by the race. It was erected at a cost of $250,000 and will go down in history as one of the great achievements of the American Negro. A whole week was used in the opening and dedicatory exercises, during which some of the most noted men and women of the race from all parts of the country took part. Each night was an interesting program. Among some of the prominent men who were present were, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., Baltimore, Md.; George L. Knox, editor of the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind.; Lester A. Walton, managing editor New York Age, New York City; Ormand Forte, editor Cleveland Advocate, Cleveland, Ohio; George R.

Byrd of Springfield, and many others. The auditorium was opened Sunday morning, November 24th, with praise service, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. Mr. Malone made the opening prayer, and the Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. Aaron E. Malone. The lesson read was in keeping with the occasion. It was fitting that the first meeting in the building should be praise service. Only the employees were present, with a few personal The Kansas City Sun friends of the head of the institution. The employees had prayers and short talks, quotations from the Scripture. Monday at 11 o'clock the building was inspected by the members of the local Negro Business League. Then followed the opening of the building to the public at 6 o'clock p. m. Many were the visitors who were shown through the building by the ushers. The first public meeting was held Monday night in the auritorium, which was attended by fully five hundred people. They were present from all parts of the country. Roland W. Hayes of Boston, the noted tenor, sang and Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of the Sumner High School, presided. Prof. Williams said that in the achievement of Mr. and Mrs. Malone was revealed the wonderfulness of man, who was made in the image of God. He felt that the whole race should feel proud of them. Congressman Newton was introduced and spoke in terms of praise of the work of the building. He was proud to see the great institution. "Great things have been done by our boys overseas," he said, "and soon they will be coming home, come home as American citizens. We are all American citizens. In the future an American citizen will be tested by his worth and achievements and not by his physical size, not by his color. We are American citizens, all of us striving for some purpose, living under the same flag. "What wonderful example to us in this splendid achievement. Behold this little orphan girl, who has worked her way to the top. Behold her wonderful achievement. She took advantage of the opportunity and did not sit down. Through her zeal, push, training and Christian life she stands with her husband today a living example of what opportunity will do, if properly used by a trained mind." Dr. W. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore, who was the principal speaker, told of the union of the two great minds, and of his first visit to their place and how he was impressed with the fact that they opened their business with prayer. "A people who pray and trust God will succeed," he said, and therefore we are all proud of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. "There are three kinds of people in the world, producers, distributors and consumers. The Negro must be among the producers. He must put his brain in his products. Brain power rules the world, and if the Negro would be among the rulers, he must put brains into his work. Brain power will make the world bow at your feet. The world never asks who invented anything that is useful, but it puts it into use. Invention was never known to draw the color line and what can be done by the individual, we have it here in this little woman, Mrs. Annie Turnbo-Malone. Behld her!" Mrs. Malone was given an ovation when presented to the large audience. She made *x* short talk in which she said that if she were booked for an address her subject would be "Giving." It was a great thing to give, and she impressed the value of little gifts, and told how she had been encouraged, inspired by the gift of a kind word during her early life, and she was ever ready to respond to any cause which needed her, and if she only had the means she would give KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, DFCEMBER 7. 1918.

Malone, "Reap what you sow." We should give out that which comes into us and we will receive the blessings of God. In the audience Monday night were some of the leading men and women of St. Louis. The best people of both races vied with each other to show their appreciation, their esteem, their respect for the woman, for the man who were not grumblers, but doers. Thus the first day went down in history as a new era in the life of the Negro race. "She had done what she could." Tuesday. The second day of the opening was full. This wonderful building was thrown open to the public at 10 o'clock and long before the hour there were many people on the streets waiting. No attempt to take money. The best available talent, men and women of national fame, and some international, appeared on the program each evening of the week, and all who came were admitted free. The invitation went to all alike, "Come and see and hear." The first song at the opening of the new building was composed by a member of the race, Hermes Zimmerman, of Hadley, Ill., American First and Forever," and was sung by the Poro Choral Club of 125 voices, the employees of the institution. Rev. R. H. Cole, principal of one of the public schools of St. Louis, presided. Each program was arranged by Prof. Jones, Secretary of the St. Louis Y. M. C. A. "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground, Boys," was the opening chorus and the prayer was made by Dr. Cole. George R. Garner of Chicago, tenor soloist and director of the Polyphonic Choral Union, with his voice won the large audience. He was enceded time and again. He made a hit. Prof. Cole spoke of the complainers, of the grubble, those who had seen that it was too much money to put in a building so far out, but he said that the promoters had a vision. They were building for the future. He could recall when the section where now stands the magnificent structure was called "Mudville," when it was considered "way out," but now it is a beautiful section of St. Louis, and great things would yet be accomplished right in the section where now stands the magnificent structure, Poro College. "Poro will bring the people out here," he said. "The early life of Aaron and Annie Malone" was discussed by Mrs. H. W. Jameson of Peoria, Ill., who had known both from youth. She told of the school days of Aaron, his finishing the grammar school, high school, normal and then accepting a small school in Southern Illinois, then principal of a large school in Quincy. On account of ill health, left the school room, became a book agent and later married the model woman of the Negro race. The life of Mrs. Malone as told by Mrs. Jameson was an inspiration to the girls of the rase. She described her humble home, her school days with her short hair, but how she portrayed the elements of a great woman. She stuck to her school duties, feeding her mind, and today she is a benefactor to the whole race. Charles Stewart of Chicago was the next speaker. "He who fails to find himself, who he is, what he is and his place in God's universe, is a failure throughout his life," he said, "and we have before us these two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Malone, because they took the time in the school room to locate themselves. Man must find himself through his mind. Physical size or strength is not manhood, but man is mind. God breathes into his nostrils, mind, soul, will. He rules the world because he is the mind of the world." Editor George L. Knox of the Indianapolis Freeman spoke. He said some good, wholesome things to the people. The closing address was made by Editor John H. Murphy of the Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. He delivered a practical business address. Lester A. Walton of the New York Age was introduced as a product of St. Louis. He had spent his early life in "Mudville," but today stood out as an inspiration to the youth of the race. He ranked with the best newspaper men of the age, and due to the fact that he had applied himself when a student. Mr. Walton made a short address. He was given an ovation by the large audience. All people rejoice in the success of the "home boy," hence their expression to Young Walton. He was accompanied by his family, and came from New York to pay a tribute to the man and woman who were doing things. Wednesday. The crowd had largely increased from out of town, and all day the ushers were kept busy showing the visitors through the plant. In the afternoon the Poro Agents of St. Louis (Continued on Page 6.)

PRICE, 5c. RLD Y 3:30 MURDER AND CRIME ON EIGHTH STREET. On Thanksgiving Day, after a wordy altercation between Izo Washington and Earl Handy, over a half pint of whiskey, the latter in a fit of rage whipped out a razor and inflicted a terrible wound on Washington, cutting his throat from ear to ear, completely severing the juglar vein. Washington ran from near the corner of 18th and Forest, where the difficulty took place, to the door of Dr. Fletcher's office, 18th and Tracy, where he fell. He was hurried to the City Hospital but died in a few moments after reaching there. His assailant was apprehended by Officers Howard and Carter and is now awaiting trial. Washington's body was taken to Rocheport, Mo., for burial. On last Wednesday night, as one of our reporters was walking down 18th street, he heard the crack of a revolver four times in rapid succession, and rushing down to 18th and Grove he found Jas. McMillan lying in a pool of blood and standing over him was a woman flourishing a revolver. Officers Howard and Carter appeared upon the scene and placed her under arrest. She gave the name of Amanda Earl, alias McMillan. McMillan was carried to the office of Dr. E. B. Ramsey where he was given emergency treatment, then taken to the Old City Hospital where he lies in a dangerous condition, two bullets having taken effect. The business men, White and Colored, are complaining of the rowdyism prevalent on 18th street in this particular section and the police are preparing to take decisive steps to suppress the thugs and crooks in this locality. Officers Howard and Carter, who are doing splendid work, arrested one Dan Wash, alleged to be the man who held up a business place last week. When arrested he had a big .45 on him and is now in the County Jail awaiting trial. These officers are deserving of the thanks of all good citizens in their vigorous efforts to suppress crime in this city. MR. FRANK A. HARRIS. The courteous, dignified and capable Secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. For the first time, owing to the extreme modesty of Mr. Harris, we are able to present to our thousands of readers a likeness of the amiable and energetic Secretary of the Paseo branch of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. Mr. Harris is a native of Kansas and for many years was in the newspaper business in that state and is one of the most competent and skillful compositors of the race. He has been connected with the Paseo "Y" since the campaign for the new building began several years ago and for several years was an assistant to former Secretary DeFrantz and when his resignation was received, he was unanimously chosen Secretary, in which difficult and trying position he has more than made good and is extremely popular among all classes. Mr. Harris is a high class Christian gentleman, has a beautiful home on Park avenue presided over by a cultured and charming wife and is giving an administration to the Paseo Y. M. C. A. which is rapidly placing it among the foremost institutions of the race. Watch for the date of Tango Club From Our Foreign Correspondents A. F. and A. M. Mo. Jurisdiction W. W.

Smith College in a decisive victory on Lincoln's gridiron. This is the second team this season. These two teams have played George R. several weeks ago. Lincoln's scientific, fact and brawny team was the victor in both battles. Below is a few facts relative to Saturday's game. G. R. received the kickoff and were downed within fifteen yards of their goal line. They were held for downs, the ball then came in Lincoln's possession, a short forward pass was then made by Smith of L. I. to Jackson, who upon receiving the "oval" went over for a touchdown. Smith missed a goal kick and the first quarter terminated in a score of 6 to 0 in favor of Lincoln. Second quarter Lincoln received kick, raced twenty yards, eight backs tore through, making substantial gains while the line was invincible—a quick forward pass by Smith to Watson; Watson sprinted forward and netted the second touch-down for Linecoln. Smith again missed the goal and the second quarter ended with the score standing 12 to 0 for Lincoln. Second half, Lincoln kept the "pigskin" on G. R.'s territory a large part of the time and drew close enough to attempt drop kicks but failed. At the opening of the third quarter Lincoln carries ball to G. R.'s five yard line by successive line plunges and fake plays where Smith, the clever half back, went over for a touch-down. It was easy seen at this juncture that G. R. was outclassed and the remainder of the game became disinteresting and the game ended in a score of 45 to 0. Below is Lincoln's lineup, viz: Watson (captain), L. E.; Martin, L. T.; Moore, L. G.; Lane, C.; Mansen, R. G.; Brooks, R. T.; Rankens, R. E.; Jackson, Q.; Pearly, L. H.; Smith, R. H.; Riggs, F. B. Summary: Touchdowns, Riggs, Smith, Jackson, Pearly and Watson. Forward passes, Lincoln, three complete out of five; G. R., two complete out of five; L. L. punts, 12 for an average of 35 yards. Referee, Prof. Jacobs, headline man; Dr. Johnson, timekeeper. Lincoln is scheduled to meet Lincoln High in Kansas City Saturday of this week and a hot game is expected. CAPTAIN H. BIVINS IS SOLDIER 32 YEARS On the same day on which armistice negotiations between the Allies and Germany were being concluded, Capt Horace W. Bivens, colored, of Billings, now stationed at Camp Dix, N.J., completed his thirty-second year as a soldier in the United States army. A telegram from Captain Bivens received Friday by The Billings Gazette reads: "On this notable day in history I beg to inform you I have completed my thirty-second year as a soldier in the United States army. I was commissioned a captain in the United States infantry on September 18, 1918, and assigned as commanding officer of the Four Hundred Thirteenth reserve labor battalion, Camp Dix. More than 1,000 enlisted colored men and 25 officers are included in my command. "Notwithstanding the report that Germany has signed the Allies' armistice terms, the morale, efficiency and patriotism of my unit are of such a high standard that we are willing to work or fight, as the occasion demands. We join with the Rev. Mr. Mecklenburg and the Rev. Mr. North and the good people of Billings, America and her allies in prayer that the world soon will recognize God as the true God, and that universal brotherhood of man shall prevail." Capt. Horace W. Blivins is a veteran of the Spanish and Philippine wars and applied for re-enlistment after being honorably discharged nearly six years ago. The captain's family live in Billings.—Billings Gazette WEIR, KANSAS. BY MRS. A. R. PHILIPS. The ban is still on our churches and schools in Cheroeken County.

CHICAGO COLORED DOCTORS BUY NEW HOSPITAL Beautiful Building Overlooking Lake Michigan Will Open Doors on New Year's Day. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 4.—Much to the surprise of thousands of colored people in this city it was announced today that the Lake Park Avenue Hospital Association had purchased the Lincoln Hospital at 4147 Lake Park avenue, situated in the most exclusive Kenwood district on the South Side. This beautiful hospital, over Lake Michigan, will officially open its doors to the public on New Year's day. For a long time a new hospital has been talked of in this city by both physicians and laymen, growing out of the fact the present hospital is not large enough to meet the demands of the fast growing colored population. The new hospital has a hundred bed capacity, nurses' home of twenty-four very modern and up to date equipment and will be known as the Lake Park Hospital and Training School for Nurses. Well known Chicago physicians are back of the movement. Dr. George W. Prince, specialist in children's diseases and a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School, is president of the association, with Dr. S. W. Smith, treasurer and Dr. I. N.

Ai es Article Vil. _ Somewhere in Frence.—The colored people back in America can well feel Proud of the record made by the 92nd Division over here, which has about 600 colored line officers, and whose rank and file {s composed exclusively of colored soldiers. Here is the rec. ord of the 92nd-as a combatant regi- ment up to November 8, 1918: When the Marbache sector was taken over by the 92nd Division of “Black Devils,” as the Germans call them, “No Man’s Land” was owned by the Germans, and here they were aggressively on the offensive. They, the Germans, held Belie Farm, Bois De Tete DOr, Bois De Frehaut, Voi- rotte Farm, Voirotte Woods, Bois De Cheminot, and Moulon Brook. The constantly aggressive action of pa- trols, day and night, from the 92nd has resulted in many casualties to the Germans, and the capture of many prisoners, Each of the places named above has been raided, as has also Epley, and patrols from the Division have pene- trated north nearly to the east and west line through Pagny. The Ger- mans have been driven north beyond Frehaut and Voirotte to Cheminot bridge and in his desperation the Hun is attempting to destroy the Seilie Bridge, after having flooded the Sel- le, proving conclusively that he re- gards the black troops that compose the 92nd Division as one he cannot successfully withstand. West of the Seilie river excellent results have fol- lowed the energetic offensive action of this doughty wing of the Allied Army, the Germans losing heavily in killed and wounded and prisoners. In nearly every instance, these raids made by troopers of this Division have been made under the command of colored line officers. This record made by these colored soldiers must, of necessity, arouse the greatest enthusiasm back in “The States” aud merit the plaudits of the race for the gallant fighting machine. So wonderful have been the achieve- ments of the 92nd that the Division Commander was impelled to send out a bulletin of congratulation, to be read before each unit of the Division. ‘This proud record must forever set at rest the question of colored soldiers fol- lowing and fighting under their own officers, and it must forever establish the efficiency of colored officers, who have done splendidly under the most trying circumstances. WESTERN UNIVERSITY DEFEATS LINCOLN HIGH. By Tents RB. Lantien The much vaunted Lincoln High School eleven met its Waterloo at the hands of the Westcrn University foot. ball squad when the Blue and Gold eleven upset the dope and handed Lin- coln High a defeat to the tune of 2 to 0 on the muddy gridiron at Asso- elation Park, Friday, November 29. ‘This was their annual classic, and the followers of the two camps were out in full force to root for their fa- vorit, Licoin High having its band on hand but not to cheer them on to victory. Western won the toss and chose to receive the ball, Lincoln getting the choice of goals. After the first skir- mishes were over Western was forced to kick the mud laden pigskin, which went not over ten feet. Lincoln then, amid the wild cheers of their follow- ers, carried the fight into Western's territory and was aided by a fifteen- yard penalty, which put the ball on Western's ten-vard line; but Lincoin was held for downs and the ball went over, Western Makes a Safety. ‘The second quarter opened with Western madly ripping the Lincoln line, After gaining about thirty yards. by plowing the right side of the Lin- coin line, Western was held for three downs and punted. Johnny Smith, Lincoln right end, fumbled the kick, the ball going beyond the Lincoln goal Mne, and just as he picked the ball up to make a broken field run, Rus- sell, Western left end, tackled him, downing him behind his goal line and giving Western the points which eventually won the game. From then on, Lincoln was simply outclassed. Last Half. When play first began, Lincoln High attempted to uncork ‘several trick plays but lost ground on each of them; while Western had played straight football, plowing the Lincom Mine at will, So when the second halt began, Coach Taylor's men resorted to old style football, but his team had been beaten. In the third quarter his comeback stunt would not work, and the ball was mainly in possession of Western University, The fourth quarter opened with Lin- coln High making a last desperate ef- fort to retrieve victory. Another fit: teen yard penalty and a first down put the ball within Western's five- yard line, It was first down and goal to gain; but the battered and worn Lincoln High eleven lacked the punch that would have sent the ball over and given them the victory. With but two yards to go, and victory, they were held for downs. The ball went over and Western University carried it through the Lincoln line for a dis- tance of seventy yards in four downs. ‘The game ended with the Lincoln line only twenty-five yards away and the Lincoln team exhausted, time alone saving them from lining up un- der their goal. _ The lnup of the two teams were as follows: Westn U.

Washington, D. ©, Dee. 4.—Dr. ‘Thomas Jesse Jones, who recently went to France, under the auspices of the Y, M. C, A, has just sent Mr. Em- mett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department, the following account of ‘the burial of a colored soldier at sea: A colored soldier was buried at sea ‘today. The flags on all the ships of the fleet have been at half-mast all day. It matters not that the soldier ‘came from a lowly cabin. It matters not tha his skin is black, He is a soldier in the army of the United States and he was on his way to fight for Democracy and Civilization. ‘The announcement of his death was signalled to every commander and ev- ery ship prepared to do honor to the colored soldier. As the sun was set- ting in the West, the guard of honor, including all the officers from the commander to the private, came to attention. The body of the Negro trooper wrapped in the American flag, was tenderly carried to the stern of the ship. The chaplain read the solmn burial service. ‘The engines of the fleet were checked. The troop ship was stopped for the only time in the long trip from America to Europe. The bugle sounded taps and the body of the American soldier was committed to the great ocean and to God. ‘The comradeship of the solemn oc- casion was the comradeship of real Democracy. There was neither black nor white, North nur South, rich nor poor. All united in rendering honor to the Negro soldier who died in the service of humanity, Mr, C, B. Hosmer, Fiscal Agent for ‘Tuskegee Institute, Ala,, was &@ pleas- ant caller at The Sun office, ? THE INTERSTATE LITERARY AS. SOCIATION OF KANSAS AND THE WEST. ‘The Twenty-eighth Annual Session of the Association will be held in Wichita, Kansas, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 26, 27 and 28, 1918. Every effort is being made to make this session historic, Twenty. seven years having elapsed since, in Topeka, the Association was organiz. ed, the Executive Committee desires the active, co-operative support of all societies, that a program may be pre: sented commensurate with the occa sion; thus making this session a cele- bration. It is desired that every per- son keep this idea in view. ‘There will be many new features this year, including a symposium in which the Presidents of all colored colleges of the Middle West have been asked to serve. Further, the Hon. James Weldon Johnson of New York will address this meeting, There should be no reason so great that the attendance will suffer. The great war demands that the darker races should preserve their education- al societies; that the intellectual ele- ments should not be crushed out, but that they might receive the most scru- pulous attention in view of the fact that a reconstruction period must fol- low this conflict. Getting behind the Interstate sim- ply means that you are furnishing the stimulus for inspiration and encour- agement—a thing every colored per. son needs in these trying times. Reasonable rates are offered. The cost of boarding and rooming facil. ties will not exceed one dallor and a half ($1.50) a day. Any literary society, debating club, or other organization rendering pro- grams of a literary or musical char- acter is eligible to mebership, and will be admitted upon sending to the Cor- responding Secretary on or before De- cember first, the name of the organ- ization and city in which such society is located. If not on the roster of the 1917 session, a membership fee of $1.50 must be paid. Societies record. ed at the 1917 session retain their membership, by sending the Corre. sponding Secretary $1.00 on or before December 1, 1918, Hach society thus enrolled is entitled to three delegates and to be further represented by one of this number on program, Contests—One evening will be given over to contests in oratory, original ‘poetry, original music, and declama- tion. To the winners, first and sec- ‘ond prizes will be awarded. ‘These ( will be open to anyone ex- cept persons graduating in any of the above branches, Rules, 1—Program number must be sent to the Corresponding Secre- tary on or before December 1, 1918, that they may reach the Executive Committee before the time set to ar- range the program, otherwise they will not be printed, 2—All papers are lim- ited to ten minutes, It your society is not in session, convene it, If no society, organize one, Help us to help our people. While the literary program will be the most important feature of the ses- sion, the social side of life will not be overlooked. For further information uddress MRS. W. W.

Earl Smith of the 376th Medical Department saying that the boys all welcome their return home to friends and relatives and that they are indeed proud of their success. The Sun is in receipt of an original and stirring poem entitled "The True Status and Recompense of Kaiser Bill," from the versatile pen of our Jefferson City correspondent, U. S. Grant Tayes. Everybody should have a copy of this excellent poem. While in St. Louis attending the Poro College exercises the Editor was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Bradbury at their beautiful and imposing residence, 4014 Cook avenue. Mr Bradbury is one of the most enthusiastic and powerful political leaders in the State and his wife is a charming hostess who is active in all social and uplift movements in that city. The Sun takes pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement appearing in this paper of Mme Jessie Carter, the scientific scalp specialist and manufacturer, who has won fame and established a wonderful business in her home city at Denver, Colo. Mme Carter's business bids fair to reach the proportions of Poro and Madame Walker's, and those who have used her preparations claim to have obtained splendid results. Read her ad carefully. The wonderful success attained by the ladies of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Auxiliary No.1 in their Thanksgiving dinner under the leadership of that splendid little worker, Mr. Della Brookins, in spite of the inclement weather, keeps pace with the excellent record established by this organization in its dinner under the chairmanship of the popular and amiable Mrs. Allen Maxey. The auxiliary is entitled to the thanks of both the Hospital Association and the colored people of this community for its unselfish labors in behalf of this admirable institution. At the recent Poro College opening in St. Louis the newspaper men present entered into a gentlemen's agreement that no account of the opening would be published last week, so that all might have an equal chance this week. The only violator of that agreement was the St. Louis Argus, while the Clarion, published in the same city, was manly and consistent enough to notify his readers that their failure to publish an account of this tremendous affair was on account of this agreement. The Sun admires the manly stand taken by Editors Robinson and Caston in this matter and believes that their increased patronage will demonstrate the wisdom as well as the honor of keeping a solemn agreement. Mr. Henry Williams, 1823 East 17th street, died November 24th after a long illness and was buried the following Wednesday from Allen Chapel, Rev. William H. Thomas officiating. He leaves a good, faithful and loyal wife that stood by him unwaveringly through all his illness, and also worked every day as chef at the Y. M. C. A. to make a happy home and bore with patience her burdens for fifteen years until the Master called her companion home. Mr. Williams was employed by the Armour Packing Company continuously for thirty-eight years and they more than feel the loss of so faithful and competent an employee. This splendid firm is looking after his wife's interest and have promised that so long as she lives she can have a position with the Armour Packing Company. We are proud of the splendid record and faithful service rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Williams during their long years together, and their loyalty and faithfulness can well be emulated by others of our race. The Sun extends its sympathy to Mrs. Williams in her hour of bereavement. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SUN. That you needn't worry any longer for a Music Teacher. Mrs. C. P.

Several "who had been teaching school re- ‘signed to take up PORO because they could serve. Cary B. Lewis, manag- ing editor of the Chicago Defender spoke, To him no meeting meant so much, It carried him back to the training received from his mother and father back in Kentucky, that re- |iigious training, and while others were asleep or out enjoying them selves he found pleasure in being in the most important meeting. Editor Geroge L, Knox also made a |telling speech on “Thanksgiving, its origin and what it meant to the Ameri. can People.” It was a practical ad- [dress Newspaper Men Meet. | ‘The newspaper men attending the Jopening had a meeting in the after |noon, which was followed by a smoker und a visit to the various newspapers of the city under the escort of the local newspapers, In the meeting Editor H, C.

It was the crowning point| of the evening. The speaker of the evening was Hon. Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Mo. It was a great speech and long since the country has acknowledged Mr. Crews as one of the greatest orators of the race. He maintained his reputation. He paid ‘high tribute to Mr, and Mrs, Malone for their contribution to the race. “I was told to bring with me a white flag when I left home,” said Mr, Crews, “white flag means sur- render and I did not feel that I need- ed it, because Kansas City leads them all but since I have been here and have seen this magnificent structure, I am willing to surrender to Mr. and Mrs, Malone, ‘This is a great build- ing and we rejoice with you because of it, St, Louis leads the world.” Mr. Crews grew eloquent as he pictured the achievements of the race, the work of the boys over seas, those who i given their lives to make the world safe for democracy. His. ple- |ture of the heroes fighting on foreign |fields for world-wide democracy was jdramatic, He paid his respect to those who would keep the race back, and declared that the building in which he stood said to the enemy and friend alike that the Negro will not down, “We have helped with the blood of some of our best young men, and now we. want democracy made |safe for the world. | “Phe blood of your mothers and |fathers will ery out against you, if |you do not help that young man whe ‘|dared to defend our people, I refer |to that hero, Dr, Bundy.” This was | greeted with an outburst of applause: and cheering.” Capt, Robert A.

And now in behalf of the faithful welltrained highly appreciative 125 employees of PORO College, please allow me one of this mumber, the great honor of presenting you this beautiful bouquet in appreciation of our great esteem for you.” “This {s a complete surprise to me,” said Mrs. Malone. “We live together here like one big family. From time to time they have done lttle things for me, but never before were I 80 completely surprised. I try to make every one around me feel like we are all one family, But did not have the slightest idea that you were thinking of us in this way. I assure you I thank all.” Friday. There was a session of the press Friday morning, ‘There were many things discussed by the men who hold the destiny of the race in their hands, ‘Those men are the makers of sentiment and the defenders of the race. Resolutions were passed pledging the moral support of Dr. Bundy, the man of the hour, the man whose life was being sought or whose freedom was in jeopardy. It was impossible not alone to get in the auditorium in the eve, but the building had to be closed at 8 o'clock for every avail able space was crowded. Fully 3,000 people entered the building during the evening. ‘The citizens of St, Louis, East St. Louis— in fact, all of the surrounding towns came to see the largest business en: terprise of the race. All races were represented. Hon, Harry C, Smith of the Cleve land Gazette presided. He wsa in troduced by Nelson C, Crews of Kan: ses City, He made an address on Race Unity, He said that the race had reached the place where it should feel its oneness, “This building is o building for the whole race and wher we talk about what we have accom plished, point to it. We can take 2 splendid lesson from the Jew. ‘Youct one and the whole of the Jewish popu lation is concerned, and so it mus be with the Negro. We should al feel a deep interest in that young man Dr, Bundy, and we should all get be hind him for he is ours.” Mme.’ Anita Patti Brown was the soloist for the evening and the prin cipal speaker was Bishop 1. J. Cop pin, of the A. M, B. Church. Bishoj was accompanied by Dr. W. H. Peck pastor of St, James’ Church. It wa: declared that Bishop spoke as neve before, and his address drove hom many practical points to the whol race, He commended Mr. and Mrs Malone for the monument they hat erected and spoke in terms of prais of Mrs, Malone, because she was a MJ inventor, having given to the worl something which helped women to im prove themselves. He spoke of som “lof his race who had declared tha they were satisfied at being as Go ®| made them, especially with their hair °|It was in the plan of Almighty tha »!man should improve. He has cor “| tinued to improve the earth and thi | building was a practical demonstrs “| tion of it. The race on top was th *J/one to be emulated, He had man: _| iMtustrations to back up his argument ;| Short speeches were made by J | Anthony Josey of Madison, Wis., O1 "| mand Forte, of Cleveland, Ohio, an t|J.

Let us be ranked on ability and officleney and not on color.” Prof. James L, Usher presided at the meeting Saturday evening; the soloist was John W. Evans, George H. Harris, editor of the New York News delivered the address, He said that he came to see the great building and like the Queen of Sheba he already was to say that the half had not been told, Nick Chiles, editor. of the Topeka Plaindealer, also spoke. A moving picture exhibition was put on for a short time showing the progress of PORO and some interesting things racial. Sunday marked the closing of the exercises and it was considered a great day, At a time when all the churches were not in service several thousand pedple were turned away from the building. The PORO Choral Club furnished music, John B, Vashon presided and Dr, 0. ©, Maxwell made the opening prayer. Rev. Wm. H. Peck, D. D., introduced the speaker, Dr. R. B.

Betty & Sam's Little Corner) Little Corner —Call West 380. —That if food stuffs come down, wages must come down. Now what do we want? —That with the high prices for everything Christmas gifts are going to be very few this year. —That 18th street between Troost and The Paseo is getting as bad as "Deep 6th." Don't stand for it, business men. —That he who throws stones should remove all the glass from his own house before someone else busts up something. —That calling a spade a spade is quite plain, but nothing compared with what it is called if it happens to show up in a diamond flush. —That if a woman is reserved and not gabby, that the other ninety-nine out of a hundred are continually asking what is the matter with her. —That a lot of people who think the world is dark and life a failure only need a few vegetable pills or a brisk walk each morning to completely change their vision. —That for ten years, or since the present management has owned the Sun, it has never missed an issue AND NEVER WILL. Fake journalists will find rough sledding in the two Kansas Citys these days. —That if "shooting off" one's mouth would publish a newspaper, there would be a hundred Negro "journals" spring up in this city over night, but when it comes to laying down $600 a month, it's an entirely different proposition. Get me? That at a recent Church trial where a brother was charged with tampering with the affections of another brother's wife, and when it seemed they had the accused brother bottled up, he began to sing in true camp meeting style "I'm Going to Tell God All About It," but the complaining brother whipped out a big forty four "gat" and said, "Yes, you're going to tell Him in a few minutes." When the smoke cleared away the singing brother with a double window sash around his neck and a shower of glass rattling on the pavement was seen making it down the street faster than Nancy Hanks ever went in her life. "HE KNOWS HIS STUFF." The first thing he does is take off his coat and hat; Of course others will do very well, but D. M. is a burning h—l— This word I can't say, you can plainly see, Rev. J. W. may get this paper and read. When you are sick as sick can be, call up Main 3355 over the telephone. He will give you the bitterest medicine of any doctor in town, But if you can take it, your feet will sure hit the ground. When he comes in, he's never in fright; The first thing he does is to do things right— Washes his hands, rolls up his sleeves And attends the patient that's sorely in need. He waits upon you to perfection; He's not afraid to touch you, Afraid he'll lose his complexion. He's some doctor, he's the best; I would put him in any test. Ten doctors gave me up to die, Just then D. M. came motoring by. He said, "Child, if you can take what I give you. I sure believe I can pull you through." I took the medicine with much care; Now I can go most anywhere. He certainly can win most any prize For I am now down to my normal size. Now if you don't believe what I say You can call just an old day. You for yourself can plainly see The girl with the dropsy at 1610 Tracy. Now the rest of the staff may think this tough, But leave it to me, boys, D. M. sure knows his stuff. PLEASANT HILL, MISSOURI. Union services were held at the Baptist Church Thanksgiving Day.

Mrs. George Robnett returned on the 27th and is stopping with her mother, Mrs. Miles York. Mrs. Robnett, since her husband cained for France, has been visiting in Kansas City, Mo., her aunt, Mrs. J. E. Carpenter, in Chicago, and in St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Charles Oliver entertained at dinner Thanksgiving day Mrs. Laura Meek, Mrs. Nathaniel Ford and Mr. Logan Smith. Mrs. Laura Sidney and wards, Mary and Florence Thompson, were in from Townsend for Thanksgiving week-end. Miss Alice Fisher and sister, Ethel, are visiting the Christians at Townsend. Rev. and Mrs. George F. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Baker and Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Ford were the guests of Mr. Rowe Murrell at a well appointed dinner at the Ford residence on the 1st. Rev. H. C. Parsons occupied the pulpit of St James A. M. E. Church on Thanksgiving morning, preaching a splendid sermon to a good audience. The choir was in attendance, the first time since all public places were closed. The congregation evidenced their appreciation of sermon and music by giving a liberal collection. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Dorsey were the host and hostess at an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner, entertaining the following guests: Rev. and Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Jefferson Harrison and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. W. Clarke. A tall vase filled with snowy carnations, intermingled with pressed cedar, made an effective center decoration for the table. Mrs. Louise J. Harrison wishes to thank all those, here and elsewhere, who so kindly remembered her with comforting messages of gympathy and beautiful gifts of flowers, during her recent illness. In a letter from Sergt. George Donnell to his mother, Mrs. William Irvin, the information comes that Corporal Bernice Dorssey and Cook William Donnell are well and still doing duty in the same company. He advises his mother to learn French, as he is forgetting his English. Mr. George M. Lee, Sr., was in from Boulder Hot Springs for Thanksgiving and presided at the family reunion dinner, the first occasion in three years when all the family dined together. There were at the table Mr. and Mrs. George M. Lee, Sr. and Jr., and Mr. Julian Lee. "How do you do. Mr. Sunny Jim," says the folks in Helena, as "Sunny," erubescent and with the nonchalance of a Hohenzollern before Uncle Sam's doughbys crossed the briny deep, Sunny, you know, started for Nitro, W. Va., about two weeks ago with a large contingent from Helena. En route the train stopped for refreshments (water), and Sunny grasped the opportunity to do likewise. The capacity of the engine was not so great as was Sunny's, therefore it hiked all too soon for our friend. He made a home run in a westerly direction, so here he is, like the proverbial "bad penny." Last Sunday Mrs. Louise J. Harrison celebrated her victory over two attacks the "flu" made upon her. The six weeks' struggle with the Spanish demon made marked inroads upon her vitality, so, to tone up a little, she purchased a sixteen pound turkey, intending to regain a certain amount of lost avoiduplops, and invited Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Dorsey, Mrs. Sarah Morris and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. W. Clarke to assist in this gastronomic effort. Her friends are assured that after the dinner she would tip the scales to an increase of at least ten pounds. Office Hours 9 to 11 a. m. 2 to 8:30 p. m. DR. A. A.
