By Roscoe C. Jamison. The Nations of the World they all have flags To symbolize their power and their worth, And some mean much, and some are empty brags. Wherewith they mystify the sons of earth. Each flag is held by hands both brave and true. Each people for their own would fight and die. Each banner thrills its subjects through and through. When they behold it, 'neath whatever sky. "And what flag has the Negro?" You ask this; "They are a separate people—naught have they. To show their entity!" You speak amiss. They have indeed a fadeless flag I say. ROSCOE C. JAMISON, Who Passed Away One Year Ago. Wherever dwells α Negro, 'tis un- furled, Tinted to various shades, it has al- ways been. It antedates the empires of the world; Look, you, 'tis the color of his skin! Nor separate continent, nor isle, nor tongue, Customs, nor ideals set a race apart As does this flag that from dim ages sprung, And of this fact take heed, each manly heart. Do you not think this flag should be sustained By men true-hearted, honorable and brave, Who faint not till true freedom they have gained? Oh, Lad, this is your flag, and yours to save! To lift your flag, then, you must lift your race, To shirk this task is fouly to betray. Upon the battle front go take your place, And fight till victory has crowned the day!

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE, 1909. By Mary White Ovington. (Chapter 2.) The Centennial celebration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln will tail to justify itself if it takes no note of and makes no recognition of the Colored men and women for whom the great Emancipator labored to assure freedom. Besides a day of rejoicing, Lincoln's birthday in 1909 should be one of taking stock of the nation's progress since 1865. "How far has it lied up to the obligations imposed upon it by the Emancipation Proclamation? How far has it gone in assuring to each and every citizen, irrespective of color, the equality of opportunity and equality before the law, which underlie our American institutions and are guaranteed by the Constitution? "If Mr. Lincoln could revisit this country in the flesh, he would be disheartened and discouraged. He would learn that on January 1, 1909, Georgia had rounded out a new confederacy by disfranchising the Negro, after the manner of all the other Southern States. He would learn that the Supreme Court of the United States, supposedly a bulwark of American liberties, had refused every opportunity to pass squarely upon this disfranchisement of millions, by laws avowedly discriminatory and openly enforced in such manner that the white men may vote and black men be without a vote in their government; he would discover, therefore, that taxation without representation is the lot of millions of wealth-producing American citizens, in whose hands rests the economic progress and welfare of an entire section of the country. "In many states Lincoln would find justice enforced, if at all, by judges elected by one element in a community to pass upon the liberties and lives of another. He would see the Black men and women, for whose freedom a hundred thousand of soldiers gave their lives, set apart in trains, in which they pay first-class fares for third-class service, and segregated in railway stations and in places of entertainment; he would observe that State after State declines to do its elementary duty in preparing the Negro through education for the best exercise of citizenship. "Added to this, the spread of lawless attacks upon the Negro, North South, and West—even in the Spring field made famous by Lincoln—often accompanied by revolting brutalities, sparing neither sex nor age nor youth, could but shock the author of the sentiment that "government of the people, by* the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." "Silence under these conditions means tacit approval. The indifference of the North is already responsible for more than one assault upon democracy, and every such attack reacts as unfavorably upon whites as upon Blacks. Discrimination once permitted cannot be bridled; recent history in the South shows that in forging chains for the Negro the white voters are forging chains for themselves. "A house divided against itself cannot stand"; this government cannot exist half-slave and half-free any better today than it could in 1861. "Hence we call upon all the believers in democracy to join in a national conference for the discussion of present evils, the voicing of protests, and the renewal of the struggle for civil and political liberty."—Adv. * Bishop L. W. Kyles, noted * orator and scholar, will preach * at St. James A. M. E. Zion * Church, 1805 Woodland Avenue, all day Sunday, March 30. * Hear him! KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1919. THE SOLDIERS' PARADE. By J. A. Wilson. That some prominent Negroes who have charge of public affairs are unfortunately negligent of details and that the rank and file of the Negroes of this city are painfully ignorant of the fitness of things was very evident during the parade of the Negro overseas soldiers last week. The military heads at the request of the mayor, consented to allow the soldiers to stop over so that the citizens, black and white, all who were interested, could see them in a body, and so that this city aided by their Negro friends and relatives could especially entertain them. The merely curious and the student of human nature both are anxious to see what effect the greatest war in history had on these men, and what was the bearing of men who had loyally and bravely faced shot, shell and death and had alive returned home, and so on the morning of the parade the streets were thronged with onlookers. First came an auto whose white occupants represented the city's welcome, then came the Lincoln High School Cadet Band, composed of fine young fellows in natty uniforms who made a very creditable appearance. These were followed by the prominent professional and business men of the Race. The women representing the Red Cross came next, always a pleasing sight, and then came the objects of interest, the main feature of the parade, the boys, our boys whom everybody came to see, but were disappointed and disgusted at the sight. Somebody failed to arrange that the soldiers should be seen and from the start to the finish these men were flanked, covered and hidden by a motley mob of unkempt, disorderly boisterous, unsightly, uncouth Negroes who paraded themselves through the principal streets of the city, there by lowering the prestige of the Negro citizens. I saw no flags or banners of welcome in the downtown districts and I sometimes wonder if we are wise in accepting at all times a separate recognition of ourselves as citizens. It is very evident that the bad public manners, deportment and appearance of certain classes of our people in greater Kansas City is a detriment to our civil progress. It is absolutely necessary that something be done by us who can to attempt to remedy this evil. I have spoken of this several times in these columns and I have been dreaming that some day the schools, churches, fraternal organizations, homes, women's clubs, would work together for this purpose. Again, I offer both my ideas and money to assist in realizing the fulfillment of my dream. It is said of the peacock that while strutting around with its uplifted beautiful plumage in admiring evidence, if it happens to look down at its rusty feet, it drops both its head and tail, so if those gentle men who were marching so proudly at the head of the procession had seen its rusty end, they would have had the same feeling that prompted this article. Y. W. C. A. Two hundred Y. W. C. A. members have paid up their dues during the month of March. We now have 650 on the roll. How soon can we reach the 1000 mark? It all depends on your dear friends. Remember, Vespers the 2d and 4th Sunday of each month. Last Sunday the topic, "How to Better Our Community," aroused spirited discussion. The second Sunday in April will be in charge of the Juniors. Watch them create enthusiasm. Plans for the organization of a branch Y. W. C. A. for our girls in St. Joseph, Mo., were discussed at a recent meeting of prominent women of that city at the Bartlett High School when Miss Mae Belcher, secretary of the South Central field of the Y. W. C. A., was present. The housing committee through Mrs. Jean McCampbell, has found excellent homes for five strangers coming into the city depending on the Y. W. C. A. to locate them. The employment department will soon be a neces sity. MR. FRANK BEATTY Who had a miraculous escape from death last Sunday when he fell thirty feet from a window in the balcony of Allen Chapel where he was attending the annual services of the Knights of Pythias.

The Kansas City District Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church is in session at St. James' Church, pastored by Dr. W. E. Shaw, Dr. F. W. Alstock of St. Louis is the presiding elder. In connection with the District Conference a Missionary convocation is being held. Many visitors are in attendance. The opening sermon, preached by the Rev. M. O. Bone-part, a promising young minister, was a masterly effort. The annual address of Presiding Elder Aistock showed deep thought and covered a wide range, dealing reflectively on the future of the church and the Race. His review of the work on the District during the past year showed marked progress, an increase in membership and in finance. In eloquent words he pleaded for unity and loyalty. "Christianity," he said, "and not democracy, was the pancea for the ills that afflict mankind." Dr. Alstock is one of the coming men of the church. Wednesday evening Dr. H. ... Stovall, presiding elder of the California Conference, preached to a large audience. Dr. tSovall is one of the most prominent divines of the connection and under his leadership the church on the Pacific Coast has made great headway. He is an enthusiastic preacher and a spiritual feast was enjoyed by those who were fortunate enough to hear him. Dr. W. E. Shaw spoke on Methodism and Organic Union. He predicted the union, in time of Negro Methodist churches. Dr. B. G. Shaw of St. Louis preached to a well filled house Thursday evening. Those who know Dr. Shaw know the rest. The Rev. E. S. Hardge of Des Moines, Iowa, preached to the edification of all present Friday evening. Bishop L. W. Kyles, A.M., D.D., is in attendance and will preach at one of the services next Sunday. The Bishop has just returned from the far West and gives a glowing account of the growth of the work in the Seventh Episcopal District. The Revs. R. Davis of the M. E. Church and J. A. Chandley of the A. M. E. Church addressed the Conference Wednesday. Mr. George W. K. Love has erected an attractive illuminated sign at 19th and Vine streets. This is the first attempt made by a Negro business man to put his wares before the public gaze. BLUE VALLEY BAPTIST CHURCH By: Mrs. M. H. White Sunday was a glorious day at our Church. Rev. Miller preached a wonderful sermon at 11:00 A. M. At 3:00 o'clock Rev. A. A. Banks of the Kansas Avenue Baptist Church preached a soul stirring sermon. Our pastor Rev. H. C. Gatewood, preached Sunday at 8:00 o'clock and while he preached our hearts burned within us. Our B. Y. P. U. is progressing. DR. PAUL V. CROSTHAW SUC- CUMBS. Dr. Paul V. Crosthwait, 25 years of age, the son of Prof. and Mrs. D. N. Crosthwait, 1020 Virginia avenue, this city, passed away enroute to Kansas City from Los Angeles, Cal, where he had been residing for his health. He was accompanied by his mother, who had been with him for the past four months. While he had been ill for two years, he was improving rapidly when he was attacked with influenza last January, from which he never quite recovered. Dr. Crosthwait has lived in this city since he was one year of age, graduating from the Lincoln ward and high schools, after which he graduated in dentistry from Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill. Shortly after graduation he was appointed as dental surgeon in the city schools of Chicago as a result of his high average of an examination in civil service. He then went abroad as dental surgeon with the British Red Cross and remained eight months, returning to Chicago, where he practiced dentistry until his health failed. He is survived by parents, Prof. and Mrs. D. N. Crosthwait, the former of whom is stationed at Camp Sherman, O., with the Y. M. C. A.; a brother, Mr. David N. Crosthwait, Jr., a mechanical engineer, of Marshalltown, Ia.; a sister, Miss Ann Crosthwait, a teacher in Summer High School, St Louis, Mo., and two grandmothers. The funeral services will be held this morning from St. Augustine's P. E. Church, the Rev. Father Rahming officiating. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. HOMER B. ROBERTS, FIRST OF RACE TO BE COMMISSIONED IN UNITED STATES SIGNAL CROPS, COMMANDED LIAISON UNIT IN FIERCEST BATTLE OF WAR. Enlisting in the army as a private, after recruiting thirty other soldiers, and returning a first lieutenant is the war record of Homer B. Roberts, a Kansas City Negro, who commanded a unit of the signal corps during some of the biggest battles of the war. Lieutenant Roberts was with the 325th field signal battalion in the Argonne forest and other big drives by the American forces. Lieutenant Roberts was a resident of Kansas City several years before enlisting in the army. He was an employee of the Afro-Mexican Land Company and lived at 2453 Montgall avenue. Shortly after enlisting he was made a sergeant and sent to a signal training camp in the South. In April, 1918, he was commissioned and sent to France. He was on field duty eight months and supervised the establishing of communication under heavy fire in numerous battles. He was educated prior to the war in electrical engineering, but found no opportunity to utilize the knowledge until sent to France. The men under iLeutenant Roberts were attached to the 92d division of Negro troops. He was the first Negro commissioned in the signal troops, and his organization the first Negro signal unit in the American army. In the Argonne battle two men of his command were mentioned for bravery in installing signal lines under fire. On the second day of the drive his men became soldiers of combat and captured a strong army position without assistance from other units. The battalion had the distinction of serving as the liaison unit between the Americans and the Fifth French army in the Argonne—Kansas City Post (Tuesday). COLORED CHILDRENS IMPROVE MENT ASSOCIATION. Business meeting Monday at 8 p.m. at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. Judge Porterfield will discuss the possibilities of a Parental Home for delinquent girls. All the pastors of the city will bring delegations from their churches. The thinking Christian people are awake to the need of this home.—Adv. Do you know that the Y. W. C. A. is a character factory? Then you know, it puts sound minds into sound bodies and sound citizens into society. PRICE. 5c. A SUCESSFUL MINISTER. Perhaps no minister in the West has seen more varied and eventful service in the African Methodist Episcopal Church than has the Rev. L. W. McCormick whose portrait appears herewith and who has for forty years been an active and aggressive minister in this Church and is still in active service. Rev. McCormick is the present pastor of St. Luke's A. M. E. church of Kansas City, Missouri, where he is serving his fourth year and is putting on a big rally where he hopes the first Sunday in April to raise $200.00 to pay the taxes and needed improvements upon his church. Dr. McCormick has not failed in forty years to answer the roll call at his Annual Conference and he has served in both Kansas and Missouri with honor and success. He joined the Kansas Conference in 1878 at Lawrence, Kansas, going out from Allen Chapel and he has pastored the following churches in Kansas: Parsons, Coffeyville, Independence, Columbus, Baxter Springs, Hiawatha, White Cloud, Highland, Topeka, Junction City, Argentine, Oswego, Paola, REV. L. W. McCORMICK For Forty Years a Minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Ossawatomie, Girard, Oskaloosa, Galena and Kansas City. And in Missouri he has served at Salisbury, Paris, Fulton, Weston, Holden, Norborne, Hardin, Wellington, Butler, Nevada and Kansas City. Few men have done more constructive work for the Church and race than Rev. McCormick. And the Sun wishes for him continued health and service. A DAMNABLE OUTRAGE. Among the mean, contemptible and disgustingly small things done by some business firms in this city in dealing with their Colored patrons is to deny our women entrance to the lavatories in these various establishments in this city. Among the latest offenders along this line is the miserable little Kressgee Ten Cent Store which every decent Negro man and woman should shun as they would a contagious disease. A representative from the Civic Department of the Colored Women's Federation of Clubs, Mrs. Essie Lewis, waited upon the management to know why this discrimination was practiced and notices warning Negro women away were conspicuously displayed. And the same old stereotyped excuse was made that "our white patrons object to it." As for that matter their white patrons will object to going to purgatory and will also object to Negroes going to heaven but the chances are their objections will not weigh as much with the Manager of the Universe as they do with the Manager of the Ten Cent Store. All honor to the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. May they vigorously and persistently fight all mean and harmful discrimination such as this and it really seems from the standpoint of sanitation and health that a damage suit would stand in any fair-minded court against such vicious and harmful discrimination which has neither the sanction of fair-minded men and women nor of Almighty God. Master Wilbur Wood, son of Mr. Wilbur Wood, the well known druggist, has been quite ill at the residence of his aunt, Miss Bessie Jacobs, 2610 Highland avenue, with pneumonia, but is convalescing rapidly now.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIALS. The April issue of "The World's Work" gives a most unimpassioned argument favoring the constitution of the League of Nations and meeting the objections of its opponents. The same issue comments the San Antonio "Express," whose stockholders have voted $100,000.00 to be used as a fund to suppress lynching. "It will pay $1,000.00 to anyone who is responsible for the arrest, conviction and punishment of any person who participates in the lynching of a Negro, or who incites any other person to commit the crime; in cases where the person lynched is white, the reward is $500.00. The same forces are supporting a legislative bill to make the lyncher a social and political outcast." Thus lynching in the Lone Star state is doomed to follow duelling. Note: The World's Work employs the capital "N" in Negro. THE 92ND DIVISION WAS MARKED FOR SLAUGHTER. The cessation of hostilities on November 11 saved the lives of thousands of black American soldiers. It will be recalled that the 92nd Division was within striking distance of Metz when the armistice was signed. Metz was supposed to be impregnable. It was conceded to be the most strongly fortified position held by the Germans. After the signing of the armistice, American engineers were kept busy for several days in digging up mines guarding the approach to Metz. A general attack was to have been made on this formidable fortress on November 13. The Americans were to attack in the center, the French on the right, the British on the left. The 92nd Division had been reserved to lead the American attack on Metz. We all know what that meant. It meant that Metz would have been taken, but thousands of brave black American soldiers, who had nothing whatever to do with the bringing on of the war and who at the outset were told they were not wanted and who were victims of damnable American prejudice even while fighting for Democracy, would have slept the sleep that knows no awakening on the crimson poppy blown fields of France. Pershing had reserved the Ninety-second Division for this supreme test of the valor of American arms. It was a compliment, if you please, to the valor of the black American soldier. Thousands of brave white American soldiers, too, would have paid the supreme sacrifice before Metz, but it will readily be conceded that the "shock troops" would have suffered most heavily. But an overruling Providence willed it otherwise. These brave troops had been marked for slaughter, according to the plans of man, but "He that sitteth above the waterfloods and remaineth a king forever, laughed them to scorn." He would not have it so. Is there not something profoundly significant in this? Can any one doubt that the hand of God was in it? If we believe this, how are we going to show our gratitude to Him Who overrules the wrath of men?—Omaha Monitor. OBITUARY. Mrs. Winnie Lewis Nelson Monroe was born near Odessa. Her father died when she was quite young after which her mother moved to Chillicothe, Mo., with her eight children. When Miss Nelson had grown to womanhood she went to Eudora, Kans., in 1881. In 1882 she was united in marriage to Mr. Andrew Monroe. Two children were born to them, Forest H. and Susie Monroe, who is now the wife of Mr. J. D. Worten. Mrs. Monroe was a devoted mother, a true and faithful wife and was highly respected by all who knew her. The evening of February 21, 1918, Mrs. Monroe was taken suddenly ill and passed away at eleven o'clock the same evening. She had lived a consistent Christian life many years and had been a member of the A. M. E. Church in Eudora, Kans., for thirty-six years. The funeral services were held on the following Tuesday. Rev Adams of Lawrence, Kans., a friend of the family delivered the sermon and paid a high tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. Beautiful floral offerings were sent by friends from many towns. Interment was made in Eudora cemetery besides her husband, Mr. Andrew Monroe. Mrs. Monroe is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J. D. Worten of Kansas City, Kans., a son, Forest H. Monroe, who is "Overseas;" a sister, Miss Bell Lee of Peoria, Ill., four grand children and other relatives.

Dear Friends:—Perhaps . you will never forgive me for this long delay in answering your letter but I have been tremendously busy since my ar- rival in France, But now this perpet- ual fever of work is abating and I can at last answer your welcome news of some time ago and I appreciate your Kindness for thinking of me. I have learned who some of my friends are, and they are those who write. You do not imagine what happiness a letter means to a soldier who is stationed in the midst of the Argonne Forest. ‘To be suddenly whirled from the city and thrown into a desolated forest is a change which I have not grown ac- customed at this writing; then to re- ceive a letter from home, although it be a month old, is a perfect joy which only a soldier who has the experience can truly appreciate. It is lonesome since the great guns have ceased to hum and other war activities no more resound our ears. It is untold agony to wait, yet it may be soon when we shall get those orders that will send us home to you, ‘The sun fs shining and it is really sunny France that I have so often heard and yet the domt- nating power that is swelling within me croes out to all the world: Send me home. I am in the best of health and wish you and family the same. Tender my respects to everyone who know of me and to the members of Centenniel, Good afternoon to you. , ©. R. A, BANKS. | Mrs. W. A.

On account of the influx of Negroes, principally from the southern states, with money, real estate in Kansas City has made a noticeable advance. We are informed by the Real Estate Board of this city that this advance is not spasmodic, but will hold good for yeurs, This office has a waiting list of ap- plicants for rental properties that they cannot accommodate, because the class of properties for rent to Colored peo- ple are just about exhausted. There are, however, vacancies in mixed cdm- munities; these cannot be rented be- cause the owners are in the market to sell. A great many of these properties are selling for less than it costs to build them, and especially is this true in communities which have heretofore heen exclusively white, but are now being invaded by our own people. We have listed some of the best residential property in the city, priced so that it can be handled by anyone with ordi- nary means—it happens so that the price is not in the Way, but there are other conditions to be met that make buying very unpleasant. ‘The poorer class of white people have already threatened to dynamite the home of one of our clients, a sol- dier, whose brother is a lMeutenant. We wish to call the attention to the thinking men of this city to this fact: ‘That there ough to be an organiza- Yion of some kind among us whose pur- Pose it would be to protect our homes against this white hoodlum element that are unable to buy homes them: selves, and do not want to allow us to buy. This office will co-operate financially and otherwise with any movement that has for its object the making of Kansas City a good place in which Negroes may live, ROSS & WILLIAMS REAL ESTATE co., By F.
