DR. LEROY BUNDY COMING VOLUME X. NUMBER 26. GREATEST RECEPTION IN CHICA- GO'S HISTORY. From more than a half-page story in the Chicago American of the arrival of the "Old Eighth" in Chicago we extract the following: The gallant "Black Devils" of the "Ole Eighth" burst into town this morning under the burden of their medals and were swallowed up in a wild maelstrom of welcome that swirled from the LaSalle street station to the Coliseum, ever growing in power and proportions until it got far and away beyond police control and became a great, good-natured riot of cheer. Traffic was paralyzed; the neighborhood was crushed in the grasp of the happy people. The solid stone walls of the Coliseum seemed to bulge with the weight of the throng that jammed its way REV. P. ALBERT M'FERRIN, JR., The noted Evangelist of Memphis, Tenn., who preached at Pleasant Green Baptist Church last Sunday at 8 p. m., from I Cor. 12-31. All who heard him were profoundly impressed. REV. P. ALBERT M'FERRIN, JR. The noted Evangelist of Memphis, Tenn., who preached at Pleasant Green Baptist Church last Sunday at 8 p. m., from I Cor. 12-31. All who heard him were profoundly impressed. through the big doors in the wake of the colored warriors. From 25,000 to 30,000 men, women and children came off successful in that first titanic crush. They were the ones who got inside. The estimate of numbers was made by C. R. Hall, superintendent of the Coliseum Company—an authority on crowds. Crowds Stop All Traffic. But that wasn't a caution to what was going on outside. In the blocks adjacent to the Coliseum there were wedged in from wall to wall from 40,000 to 50,000 deliriously happy blacks, according to estimates. The street cars ceased to run. The police gave up trying to clear a path for them. And what was the use? They were only bringing new thousands of merrymakers to swell the jam. From all parts of Chicago came squads of police. Chief Garrity hurried down there in person to take charge of the situation. But the crowd was filled with sublime good nature. That was all that prevented disaster, for the swarm of humanity that sethed and struggled in those tight-packed blocks was a formidable thing. Good Nature Saves Day. The crowd laughed. That saved the day. The people laughed and they beat on dishpans. They sang. They cheered. And they wept. Great glistening tears of black and brown. Nobody cared. There was the fervor of a camp meeting abroad. Everybody was the friend of everybody else. Women fainted in the 'crush. They fainted and fell down. But they were hoisted up again, a handful of snow would be dashed in their faces, and a few moments later they would be cheering, laughing, weeping, yelling and beating the dishpans once more. That was outside. Inside the comotion was even wilder. For the boys of the "Ole Eighth" were there—there at last with their mothers and their best girls and their fathers and sisters and brothers. The Kansas City Sun Joy Reigns in Conseul. A band was playing "Home, Sweet Home," big troopers whose bayonets helped to puncture the bubble of German might wept like pickanninies. They sat in their "mammies" laps and heard the crooning of old nursery songs. They shifted their oiled "tin helmets" to the heads of their girls. Their mothers slipped the straps of their boys' packs over their own shoulders and pranced about the auditorium to the music of a whole battery of jazz bands. Governor Dineen, Rev. A. J. Carey, Col. Roberts and Lieut. Col. Dineen delivered addresses. STOP THE HOMESTEADER. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 24—Excitement ran high here Thursday, February 20 when the Board of Moving Picture Censors, acting upon an injunction, gotten out by three ministers of this city, ordered Oscar Micheaux's mammoth photoplay stopped because one of the ministers stated that "The Homesteader," the play, was an actual reproduction of his personal affairs with the writer, and that the drama, acted entirely by colored people, consisting of eight reels, tended to expose his private life. The picture, when stopped by agents representing the Censor Board, was showing to a crowded house at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Thirty-fifth and Forest avenue. A wave of indignation swept the entire audience when the announcement was made that the Censor Board would have to review the play the following day at the Censor Board room, county building. The audience had witnessed two reels of the play. A committee of prominent Chicagoans, including Bishop Fallows, white; Col. John R. Marshall, formerly commanding the Eighth Regiment; George E. Ellis, corporation counsel, City of Chicago; Mrs. Ida Nelson, dental surgeon; Oscar DePriest, exalderman; Major-General Morris Lewis, uniform rank of Odd Fellows; Mrs. George Cleveland Hall, Mrs. Adah Waters, Amanda Smith Home for Girls; Robert S. Abbott, editor, Chicago Denfender, and Attorney George H. Jackson, witnessed the reshowing of the photoplay, and following the request of the Censor Board to give an expression, all unanimously agreed that there was nothing in the picture that would reflect upon the minister's personal character or that of his family. The board, acting upon this information, issued a permit granting "The Homesteader" the right to be exhibited. Oscar Micheaux, colored writer and producer of "The Homesteader," also author of "The Forged Note," is said to have based the plot of the play around his private life. His unhappy marriage to a minister's daughter, and the hypocritical role the minister played in causing strife in the family, are potent factors in the eight-reel drama, which was produced at a cost of $1,200.00. DR. BACOTE CELEBRATES 24TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PASTORATE AT 2D BAPTIST CHURCH. Dr. S. W. Bacote will celebrate the twenty-fourth anniversary as pastor of the Second Baptist church, Tenth and Charlotte streets, Sunday, March 2, at 11 a. m. Special music will be rendered by the choir, and the anniversary sermon will be preached by President P. H. Thompson of Macon College, an old classmate of Dr. Bacote. Doubtless a capacity audience will be in attendance. David Allen's Limousine Sedan at Kansas City Automobile Show. Mr. and Mrs. David Allen's 8-passenger Limousine Sedan, made to order by Sayers & Scoville Company of Cincinnati, O., is on exhibition at the Kansas City Automobile Show. Mrs. Allen designed the interior upholstering, which is somewhat different from other Limousines, the lower part being black leather and the upper part gray cloth. The motor is the red seal continental 105-horsepower. It is the first 8-passenger Limousine sedan to be sold west of Chicago and will be used for weddings, parties and funerals. The Limousine Sedan was purchased on the recommendation of Mr. T. B. Watkins and Mr. Q. J. Gilmore of the Watkins Bros. Undertakers. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1919. NATIONAL NEGRO CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE OF AMERICA. NATIONAL NEGRO CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE OF AMERICA. The Kansas ity Campaign of the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America is on. It is the first of its kind in this country to be launched on so large a scale and have for its object and purpose so great, such an enormous and much needed undertaking with reference to the national welfare of the Negro. At 9 a. m today the faithful workers of this movement will go forth to recruit a great army of members. These members will also be asked to sign a mammoth petition asking the United States Government to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the 14th and 15th Amendments of the United States. Eevry race-loving man, woman and child who believes that Jim Crowism should cease; that disfranchisement should be no more; that segregation should be branded as illegal and that mob violence should be stopped, is sincerely asked to become a member of this League and sign its petition for Justice. The manner in which the most prominent and leading Negroes of this community have rallied to this great movement proves to the world how keenly they realize the need of such a National Organization at this opportunity. The National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America has for its object and purpose the wishes and desires of every right thinking Negro. Kansas City is honored to have so great a movement organized and established in its midst. The Kansas City Campaign is to last for three weeks and from all indications nothing but success is ahead. Mrs. A. E. Jenkins, President of the Women's Federation of Clubs, has given much of her time and assistance to this great racial movement. As Chairman of the Women's Division, she has demonstrated unusual tact and ability in getting this great Campaign under way, and deserves the assistance and co-operation of every race-loving woman in Kansas City. Throughout the Campaign Mrs. Jenkins will be found at General Headquarters. Every woman who has given her name as a worker in this campaign is engaged in a worthy and a just cause; one that will in the future mean much toward the welfare of our homes, our families and our children, and should be commended by every black man in this community. The women who worked in the Red Cross, War Workers and other such Campagnes did much for the cause of Humanity and for the people in foreign lands, but the ones who are working in this campaign will do much more for Humanity by helping themselves to secure the blessings of life, liberty and property as ordained by the Constitution of this Government. No woman who has assisted in either of these campaigns, nor any person who has contributed to the same, should out of race loyalty, fall to support or contribute to this cause. Mr. Nelson C. Crews, Mr. W. C. Hueston and Dr. William J. Thompkins are in charge of the Men's Committee, which is to work in conjunction with the Women's Committee. They have arranged for speakers, who will visit the various Negro Churches throughout the city and other public meetings and explain to the public the necessity of their co-operation of supporting this much needed and timely undertaking. HELLO! HELLO! If you love race enterprise come to the large Furniture Store at 1713 East 12th Street, and/buy your Furniture, Rugs, Hardware, Mattresses, Linoleum, Etc. I pay the highest prices for used furniture. I buy and sell everything—try me and be convinced. Your patronage solicited. Each person who is a worker for this League will wear a large authorized worker's button with the letters N. N. C. C. L. A. thereon. Each person who becomes a member of this League and signs this petition will be given a red, white and blue button with the letters N. N. C. C. L. A. in the center and 1919 at the bottom and a window flag with ablue border, the word member at the top, a large red circle with the letters N. N. C. C. L. A. in the center and 1919 at the bottom. Each person who becomes a member of the League is asked to wear his button and place their flag in their front window, thus proclaiming to the world that they believe that the Negro is fully entitled to the same Democracy for which he has so willingly and so freely sacrificed his life.

ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas William Davis of Ottumwa, Iowa, announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Margaret Elizabeth Davis, to Attorney William Bailey Bruce of Kansas City, Mo. Wedding to be solemnized Easter Day at the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church in Ottumwa, Iowa. Program given by the Members of the Faculty of the Horner Institute of Fine Arts RACE LOYALTY. On last Sunday I heard Mr. Shilladay, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, before the Forum of Kansas City, Kansas, in which he said: "The liberties of one group cannot be entrusted to the care of another group. The Negro will never have rights and privileges until he himself wants, works and fights for them. He believes legally, constitutionally and intelligently that he must fight, not by arms, but by fighting through the intelligence of the American people." On last evening I heard the Honorable Nelson C. Crews in a most dramatic speech state as follows: "No man can be made satisfied and contented who sits by and sees another man enjoy things to which he is entitled and cannot himself enjoy." A few weeks ago a committee of Negro citizens appeared before the judiciary committee of the lower house of the legislature, led by Prof. R. L. Logan, and protested vigorously against the "Jimcrow" bill, which had been offered in that body. They waited until midnight and the earnest appeals of those who spoke resulted in the bill being thrown out of the committee. There has been introduced in the state senate several bills which will be of untold benefit to the people and the state as a whole. Those that have been engrossed and have come to me in print are as follows: Senate Bill No. 450 appropriating $150,000 for the establishment of a home for incorrigible boys. Senate Bill No. 448 appropriating $200,000 for the purpose of establishing a home for the Negro blind, deaf, dumb, feebleminded and tubercular. Senate Bill No. 495 to create the office of Negro deputy superintendent of public schools. Senate Bill No. 449 to legalize the Negro industrial commission, created by Governor Frederick D. Gardner Purpose: To make the Negro people of Missouri self-supporting and a greater economic asset to the state and to improve their educational, industrial and moral condition. Senate Bill No. 461 against mob violence, which will penalize and imprison the violators and endow the dependents to the sum of $5,000. I now ask this question: Are the expressions of Mr. Shilladay and Mr. Crews your sentiments? I want to add that in this state there are already established model institutions for the purpose of taking care of the white citizens who come under the class of penal and eleemosinary subjects. And the white people in a larger sense are free from mob violence—but what about the Negro? Are you satisfied with the conditions of the rural schools? Are you satisfied with seeing the blind begging on the streets? Are you satisfied with seeing the hopeless victims of the great white PRICE. 5c. plague expectorating on the streets and endangering the lives of the commonwealth? Are you willing to leave the future of the deaf and dumb into the hands of others? Do you feel that provisions should be made for the care of our feeble-minded who do not deserve to be sent to an asylum? Do you think that a commission supported by the state for the purpose of investigating all conditions pertaining to the Negro and whose duties will be to report their findings with recommendations to the legislature—I say, do you believe this sort of commission should be created? Do you think this would be a more definite and progressive manner of finding out our needs and asking for better legislation concerning the same? If what I call to your attention you find expedient, I then command you to appoint yourself a committee of one to see or write your senator or representative, and I also advise you to call public meetings, adopting resolutions and petition the Honorable Senators and Representatives to aid DR. CHARLES R. HUMBERT Pathologist of the Old City Hospital. By application to duty he has won the commendation of the Board of Health and the profession at large. Dr. Humbert is now at Rockefeller Institute, New York City, better preparing himself for service to his people and the profession. He merits the plaudits of the community. our people by enacting into laws the above bill enumerated. It matters not whether your member of the legislature is a Republican or a Democrat he is by virtue of his position your legal representative. I wish also to call your attention to the fact that it is the time when the legislature makes appropriations to the institutions of the state. Do not forget that Lincoln Institute is our state school and it deserves a splendid appropriation if it is to be what all of us would have it be. So, when you send your resolutions or petitions to the legislators, add a good word for Lincoln Institute. WM. J. THOMPKINS. From Our Foreign Correspondents 9 A. F. & A.

There is a saying, and perhaps, very true, that the "road to hades is paved with the best intentions in the world." So in saying that the public has awaited a demonstration on the part of the Negro in the silent art it is well to explain that that demonstration awaited is a creditable, dignified achievement—and in Oscar Micheaux's "The Homesteader" this has at last come. Among our reasons for this statement is this undeniable fact: "The Homesteader" is first a story. Adapted to the screen from the author's novel of the same name, which it took six years to write, it is abvious this should be a play worth the watching. Additionally, it took nine months to produce the play. Well, time takes money, another reason why the Race has failed to receive the carefully detailed play they have craved. The producer of "The Homesteader" well knew all this; he was aware of the shortcomings of previous efforts so before commencing the production it is well for those who are going or see this play to understand that lack of capital has been no hindrance in the production, for the reason that those with whom the producer is associated have stood ready at all times with unlimited means. The Story "The Homesteader" involves six principal characters, the leading one being Jean Baptiste, the Homesteader, for off in the Dakotas, living where he alone was black. In him we have the embodiment of strength, courage and conviction. To this wilderness came in time Jack Stewart, a Scotchman, with his motherless daughter, Agnes. In Agnes, Baptiste meets the girl of his dreams, only to make a discovery in the same instance upon which the story has its first climax. But Agnes didn't know that she was not white. Peculiar fate fainted her in the company of the Homesteader, and their love, forbidden by the custom of the country, is the most appealing and idealistic ever created. Of how Baptiste sacrificed the love of this girl of his dreams, went back to his own people, marrying the daughter of a preacher, and the circumstances that came of it, marks the second epoch in the development of the story. In the case of N. Justine McCarthy the author has done a work that is typical of our life today, and the whole public in any way acquainted with the present race minister must appreciate it—narrow, spiteful, envious, McCarthy is the embodiment of vanity, deceit and hypocrisy. He really admired the marriage his daughter had made—was proud of it. He spoke of the "rich" young man she had married, eulogized him to the highest—but, Baptiste did not understand that McCarthy, to be satisfied, was in the habit of having people praise him. This Baptiste forgot in the first to do; in the second, he was not of the temperament to do it, and upon this failure grew the tragedy of a marriage and the happiness of McCarthy's daughter, Orlean, a sweet girl, kind and good, but, like her mother, without the strength of her convictions. Of how then Baptiste was sacrificed to the altar of McCarthy's hatred and vanity; of how Orlean failed him at those crucial moments: of how Ethel, her sister, like her father, possessed with all the evil a woman is capable of, forces her weak-kneed husband, Glavis, to assist her and her father in their persecution of Baptiste; and then, of how in the end Orlean, made insane by the evil she had been the innocent, cause of, rights a wrong, bringing Baptiste back to his land. He comes back to the girl he has discovered the truth about and the story has a beautiful ending after a life of storm and misery. Chas. D. Lucas as Baptiste has played his part with a completeness that will bring great admiration. Miss Iris Hall as Agnes and Chas. S. Moore as her father have portrayed their parts without a flaw. Evelyn Preer as Orlean is strikingly sympathetic, while Miss Inez Smith as Ethel could not have improved. Vernon S. Duncan as McCarthy does very well, but had he been possessed with the fine art as completely as the rest he would have made a name for himself that might have meant fortunes to him as a character artist. Trevy Woods as Ethel's husband, Glavis, has done well, while William eGorge as Agnes' white lover and "Bill" Prescott is perfect. "The Homesteader" is not a sensational picture or story as western stories go, but it is the story of the west as it is, a theme that will prove educational as well as interesting. To the credit of the producers, among other things, must be given the fact that every detail of the production has been given the most minute care; the characters for their particular parts have been chosen and conform to the description in the book so fully that it is marvelous. —This Great Picture will be exhibited at New Center Theatre, Fifteenth and Troost, all week, beginning Sunday, March 2.

Wednesday was Tag Day for the Social Center, the name of the recently opened social settlement house at Tenth and Chestnut and early in the morning some seventeen teams started out with tags to be disposed of for the benefit of the new institution. Last night when the committee consisting of John Carroll, Charles McMillen and Mrs. A. A. Whipple opened the boxes which the women used during the day the sum was found to total $864.58. The money is to be used in the settlement work which is being conducted in that section of the city by a number of church workers, under the direction of Mrs. A. A. Whipple. There were fifty girls att told under the direction of Rev. S. M. Duke, and the city was divided into districts just the same as it has been done heretofore for Blessing and St. Mary's hospitals. To the amount realized from the sale the sum of $25, the result of a recent church entertainment, is to be added. It is the belief of the promoters of the Social Center that by furnishing an attractive place for the colored people, where they may go while unemployed and read the newspapers or other wholesome literature, that great good among the race may be accomplished. The advisory board in charge of the Center is composed of J. M. Winters, W. Emery Lancaster and Assistant Postmaster John Carroll. The team captains in charge of the tag sale were Mrs. George Webster, Mrs. L. Robertson, Mrs. Thomas Munday, Miss N. J. Edwards, Mrs. J. W. Tutt, Mrs. Susan Humphrey, Mrs. Florence Cook, Mrs. Belle Clark, Mrs. Nannie Hall, Mrs. Laura Webb, Mrs. Nora Kenady, Mrs. John Miller, Mrs. Sophia Humphrey, Mrs. Esther Mitchell, Mrs. E. L. Roberts, Mrs. Rosella Webb, and Mrs. Louise Thomas. WEST VIRGINIA SCORES BIG. By J. C. Gilber Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 24.—The prohibition against the exhibition during the period of the war of the "Birth of a Nation" and similar pictures and plays, put into effect last summer by an order of the Executive State Council of Defense, was continued indefinitely by the legislature, Thursday last, when it passed a measure drafted by H. J. Capehart, one of the three colored members of the lower house. The law provides as a penalty not only for exhibiting, but also for advertising such pictures and plays, a fine of not more than $1,000 and confinement in jail of not more than 30 days, the latter at the discretion of the court. Other legislation of special benefit to the race was the creation of the office of state supervisor of colored schools with a salary of $2,400 per annum and $500.00 for traveling expenses, and an advisory board to the state board of education to be composed of two citizens of color, the compensation of each to be $1,000 a year and $500 for traveling expenses. This advisory board, acting with the supervisor, practically will have charge of all matters pertaining to the state's colored educational institutions. It authoritatively is reported that among the first duties it will be called upon to perform will be the recommending to the state board of education of a president for the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, where a change has been under consideration for some time. In the matter of appropriations for the next two years the legislature was very liberal to the colored institutions. For the erection and maintenance of a hospital for colored insane, $165,000 was provided. Forty thousand dollars was voted for land, buildings and current expenses of a colored deaf and blind school. Other institutions and their appropriations are: Colored tuberculosis sanitarium, $43,000; orphans' home, $77,000; West Virginia Collegiate Institute, $146,000; Bluefield Colored Institute, $67,000; Storer College (a private institution), $5,400; Barnett, Harrison, Mercer and Lomax hospitals (privately owned) each, $2,500; a total of $508,000.

Smith says that the progress seems very good....The morning services were well attended. The pastor, Rev. H. T. Walker, preached on "Faith." Hebrews 11: 1. There was a manifestation of the Holy Spirit and a rejoicing among the people of God....At 3:30 Dr. N. T.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH Some of our out-of-town friends and also some of our members in the city are asking why our church notes do not appear every week? First, it is because we haven't much every week worthy of "note;" and secondly, because the editor of the "Sun" is kind enough to publish what we send free of charge and especially in these days newspaper space costs and is worth much. We plant to use little space as possible. If you will measure the space given to "Among the Churches" each week in the "Sun" and then get the cost of that amount of space in a paper that has the circulation of the "Sun," you will find the owner of the "Sun" makes a large contribution to all the churches each week. In view of the fact, regardless of all else, are the ministers and churches doing their duty as such towards the circulation of the "Sun"? Would the consideration of this matter be out of place in the Ministerial Alliances? We think not. Why not have a "Sun" day at our churches and consider with our people what to read and how to read and why, and do our "bit" to encourage the circulation of the "Sun"? A united action along this line would be more effective and bring larger ersults. Now "speak up, Revs, Ikes, and 'spress yourself'..." Our Aid Society had a fine meeting with Mrs. S. J. Hopkins, 1820 How ard...The Young Women's Missionary Circle had their best meeting this year with Mrs. Josephine Murray, 1323 Garfield...The Y. W. C. A. Club met with Mrs. Eva Williams, 2110 Tracy.

We, the ladies of the War Relief Committee, wish to make this statement to the public, feeling that our women should do something for our own soldiers to show to them that women of their own race were interested in the sacrifice they are making, we decided to organize ourselves into a War Relief Committee, thinking we would be able to do something that we later found we were not allowed to do, such as meeting our boys at the Station and distributing little gifts. Though we gave 47 stamped postcards and 400 cigarettes, we again made an effort by opening a place of welcome for boys on coming to our city, but it was a little out of the way, so didn't attract as we had hoped. Yet God, Who knows the desire of the heart, will take the effort for the consummation of the deed and number us with those who tried to do their part. We sent 46 scars to Camp Dodge, gave the Red Cross a ton of coal and helped them sew and knit; we sent a sweater overseas to one of our Y. M. C. A. workers. We are holding what money we have in the bank to help give the boys a hearty welcome when they return. We have not disbanded, but holding together as a Community Service Committee, helping worthy persons and doing for humanity whatever our hands find to do. We thank every ladywho has stood by us in our most earnest effort and ask your co-operation in our new work. Mrs. L. A. McCampbell, Ch. A. 28 Mrs. Pauline Hoffman, Chm. Mrs. Minnie Doyle, Secretary. The following letter was sent to Mrs. L. A. McCampbell and the ladies of the War Relief Committee: Y. M. C. A., No. 89, Camp Dodge, Ia. My Dear Mrs. McCampbell, and the Ladies of the War Relief Committee: I beg to advise you that the scarfs came alright and are much appreciated, as a large number of the men didn't have any. The Red Cross had run out of them and said they didn't expect to get any more. I serve a Labor Battalion and the men are out in all kinds of bad weather and were in need of just such protection. I will see that they are placed among the men who need them most. The men wish me to express to you ladies their appreciation of your thoughtfulness and Christian act in supplying them with these comforts. I also wish to commend you all for the noble work you are doing for the soldiers. With best wishes for each of you, I am most sincerely yours. PASEO AUTO LIVERY CO.

One of the commendable things connected with the showing of the "Homesteader," the great race drama at the New Center Theatre, 15th and Troost avenue, this coming week is the fact that the owners and managers of the film have secured absolute control of the house during the week of its presentation and seats will be sold to any section of the house to our people. Will you take advantage of it? Well, we hear a rumbling from 50,000 Negroes of Greater Kansas City saying, "We are on our way." An informal conference of welfare organizations touching the life of Negro workers and for the improvement of their condition, opportunities and relations with white workers and employers, has just closed after remarkable meetings Monday and Tuesday of this week held in the auditorium of the Public Library at Washington, D.C. Representatives were present from mission boards, welfare agencies and associations of national scope, which have as their object the co-operation of Negro wage-earners, white workers and white employees and the improvement of conditions and opportunities of Negro workmen. The freest discussion of Negro economic problems resulted. Addresses were made by the Secretary of Labor, the Assistant Secretary, the Solicitor, and other officials of the Department. In welcoming the conference, the Secretary said, "It is the duty of the Department of Labor to promote the welfare of wage workers and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment, whether men or women or children and whether they are white or colored, native born or alien residents."

CREWS, Editor The wonderful appeal that is embodied in its declaration of purpose is so strong in its purport that to become imbued with its spirit is but to know its purpose. Kansas City is at this time launching a tremendous campaign, backed by its most substantial citizens, men and women who can be relied upon to give credence to a movement of this kind only when its efforts are in the right direction and along constructive lines. During the past week, a number of developments have been brought about in the interest of a great campaign for memberships which is to be launched March 1 to March 22. All advance indications point to the success of the effort, and the men who have in charge its conduct are feeling much pleased with the prospects for success. Another development of the week has been the addition of a men's committee to the campaign forces. At a conference held the first of the week, between a number of gentlemen, who believed this movement should succeed, Nelson C. Crews, Dr. William J. Thompkins and W. C. Hueston were selected to perfect a If you want the business of 40,000 Negroes who spend approximately $200,000 per month We reach the buying public of both cities and surrounding communities, and we solicit for them only the most reliable firms.

A number of the generals have completed the selection of their captains and a number of others are partially completed. A complete list of all of the generals and captains will be published in the next week's issue of the Sun. The interest which is being manifested is just what the cause might be expected to inspire. To know the real purpose of this great organization you must read closely the articles that will be published as a declaration of purpose in this paper from time to time.

In your race, faith in your future prospects and faith in your God, join heart and soul in this great uplift movement and the great army that we are going to mobilize in our drive for future progress and prosperity will march triumphantly to the great goal always reached by the unity of purpose. This great army is being organized that we might work more efficiently under the direction of experts that our aims and ideals may have the force of organized effort. We are no longer going to remain the unthinking mass of human chattel to be bartered and sold on the auction block of social and political expediency, but a thinking and working unit, trained in brain and brawn to lift ourselves to higher standards by the force of our own momentum. You have never failed to respond to the call of your country and history is replete with wonderful testaments of your courage and valor. You have made the supreme sacrifices for the preservation of all humanity. Will you be less benevolent when the call comes from your race and the black generations yet unborn? We believe you won't. We feel that you have heard the call and but await the command to march to victory. PYTHIANISM IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI Grand Chancellor Lloyd and Grand Lecturer B. F. Adams instituted a New Lodge at Deering, Mo., Saturday night February 15 with twenty-eight members. The new lodge starts out most auspiciously. This lodge is composed of the best and leading members of the race in the thriving village of Deering—Saw Mil district of 600 or 650 souls, about 230 miles Southeast of St. Louis. There are some 200 or 300 Negroes in this village all of whom are doing well. The C. C. of the New Lodge, Mr. Geo. W. Hobson is the night watchman of this thriving village. This is the third new lodge for the Pythians in Missouri in the past ninety days with more to follow. Surely the Pythians of Missouri are doing noble things, not dreaming them all day long—thus trying to make life, death and that vast forever—one sweet song. Esto perpetua." SERCU CAMI BELL HORNED. Mrs. Beatrice Jackson received the following letter relative to her son Sergt. William R. Campbell: In a few days your soldier will receive his honorable discharge and start for home. He is bringing back many fine qualities of body and mind which he has acquired or developed in the military service. The army has done everything, it could do to make him strong, fine, self-reliant, yet self-controlled. It returns him to you a better man. You have been an important member of that great army of encouragement and enthusiasm which helped to make him and us all better soldiers. You can now be a great help in keeping alive the good qualities he is bringing back from the army, in making him as good a citizen as he has been a good soldier. His fare and necessary expenses to his home will be paid by the government. He will receive all pay due him. He may, if he wishes, wear his uniform for three months from the date of his discharge. The government will also allow him to keep up, for the benefit of his family, his insurance at the very low rate he is now paying. His return to civil life will bring new problems for you both to solve. The qualities he brings back will help you now as your encouragement helped him while he was away, and in your hands and his, rests the future, of our country. As his commanding officer, I am proud of him. He has done his duty well. I, and his comrades, will bid him good-bye with deep regret, and wish him every success after he returns home—that spot in every man's heart no other place can fill. Dr. M. H. Lambright received a telegram announcing the safe arrival of his nephew, Lieut. Edward Fladger, in New York last Monday evening. FREE FREE Ladies Spring Hats Free.

NOTE---This wonderful and spectacular production, the first great creation from the pen of a Negro ever screened was held up by the Board of Censors for the city of Chicago, owing to a vicious attack by three well known Negro ministers of that city, until reviewed by a committee of the better class of both races, who unanimously proclaimed it to be the most masterful portrayal for many a day. The part objected to by these three ministers was, that it attacked the moral conduct of a certain well known minister—one of the three happening to be the one attacked. Needless to say the production was duly released and is now playing to great crowds at more than a dozen houses in that city, black and white.
