MADAME C.J.WALKER DEAD COL. CHAS. YOUNG U. S. A. TO BE ROYALLY RECEIVED HERE WE REACH 20,000 NEGROES NOW! We are going after 100,000 by June, 1920—Help us! VOLUME X. NUMBER 38 MAD COL. CHAS GO SEE " MADAME WALKER PASSES AWAY The news of the passing of Madame C. J. Walker, the famous Hair Culturist brought a distinct shock to the race in all sections of the country and many expressions of regrets and sympathy were heard in this city where she was a frequent visitor and was quite well known. Mrs. Walker died last Sunday after a long illness surrounded by the most eminent physicians of both races and everything that could be done that was possible. Her illness dates from a breakdown that occurred in St. Louis several weeks ago while on a speech-making tour and as recounted in these columns at that time she was carried to her home in New York on a special car attended by surgeons and nurses Her last public act was to write a check for $5,000.00 for the National Association at the Anti-Lynching Conference. Mme. Walker's Biography. Mme. C. J. Walker was born at Delta, La., Dec. 23, 1867, the daughter of Owen and Minerva Breedlove. Both of her parents dying she became an orphan at the age of six. When 14 years of age she married Rev. J. J. Walker and became a widow when 20 years of age. From the union resulted one child, now Mrs. Lelia Welker (John D.) Robinson. Moving to St Louis she received a meagre education there which she gradually and constantly perfected by reading and travelling. Inspired through a dream to begin the practice of beauty culture for her people she introduced MADAM C. J. WALKER a hair growing preparation and began its manufacture in 1905. She then moved with her daughter and her business to Denver, where she remained one year. After two years of traveling and prospecting for a suitable business location, settled in Pittsburgh in 1908. Leaving her business in charge of her daughter and continuing the selling of her products on the road she finally settled in Indianapolis, Ind., in 1910, since which time her business has developed a thousand fold, extending throughout North America, the West Indies and South America. The Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co now employs 15,000 agents, her annual business exceeding $100,000. Her Irvington home is worth a quarter of a million dollars. Her Beautiful Home. For her home she could hardly have chosen a more attractive spot. The site is in the most exclusive part of Irvintogn Village, on Broadway near Fargo Lane, commanding a magnificent view of the Hudson, the hills beyond and the surrounding country. It sweeps the Hudson for miles about, and may be plainly viewed by pleasure craft passing up and down the river. The structure, a three-story and basement affair with roof of red tile, is in the Italian renaissance style of architecture and was designed by V. W. Tandy, a colored architect. It is 113 feet long, 60 wide and stands in the center of a four and a quarter acre plot. It is fireproof, of structural tile with an outer covering of creamcolored stucco, and has 34 rooms. In the basement are a gymnasium, baths and showers, kitchen and pantry, servants dingig room, power room for an organ and storage vaults for valuables. The main entrance is on the north side. The visitor enters a marble room, where a marble starway, leads to the floor above. On the first floor are the library and conservatory, a living room 21 by 32 feet, furnished in Italian style, a Louis XV drawing room 18 by 45 feet feet, ad dining room with a hand-painted ceiling. Adjoining the two drawing rooms is a chamber for a $8,000 orang, which may be played automatically or by hand. Mme. Walker likes music. When the organ is played sounding pipes will carry the strains to different rooms to the house. The second floor contains bedrooms, bathrooms, showers, dressing rooms, sewing rooms and two sliseeping lo porches. On the third floor are ser- The Kansas City Sun vants' quarters. The owner employs eight servants. The entire race mourns the loss of this great woman. League Of Nations TWO HEROES, BUT DIFFERENT. By Prof. Wm. H. Dawley Both are pouring out their life's energy on America's darker problem of which they are a part. Each is a diplomat. Neither can do the work of the other, but the work of each is necessary. The one was trained in New England and Europe; the other was educated below Mason and Dixon line. The one out of immediate touch with his people, yet is dealing stunning blows for them; the other in the midst of that same people is cheering, comforting, soothing mothers and widows and binding the wounds of the broken-hearted. The one is blazing a path of unrestricted freedom for the foot-sore and bruised, the other, applying bandages and supplying food and drink on the spot. Comparing things of yesterday, the one is the dauntless Peter; the other the reserved, but not less constant John the Divine. Comparing things of today, the one seems the editor, the intrepid Lord Northcliffe; the other, the war minister, the lionhearted Lloyd George. Some days ago the metropolitan press startled the world with the intelligence that these foremost Britons were at odds and were about to engage in a duel to the death. They were too clever for that. They have their swords unsheathed for their country's common enemy, not for each other. The task for these ardent workers for a dark race is so perplexing, so trying, so stupendous, that if they do not imitate, they must at least profit by the example of the world's first editor and premier of our age. The position of the Negro in the United States prior to the World War was far from enviable. Now it seems worse. Hence all agencies looking toward its betterment should invite harmony, not antagonism; should melt the opposition with an undivided front. It was easy to slay James Reese Europe, but will it be the easy for the slayer, whose name becomes known only through that luckless deed, to supply the famous Jazz musician's place? Dr. William E. B. DuBois has done the Negro, wherever dispersed around the globe, an inestimable service at this time in establishing the Pan-African Conresqs and getting the Negro's cause definitely before the Peace Conference at Versailles. It is not too much to affirm that no one else could have done that. Yet that was the act of one month and its results are yet to be determined. Secretary Emmett J. Scott, Assistant Secretary of War, has had an ever varying, complicated and delicate task and has done more with it than any other man in America could accomplish. Take the most imposing case, the field was open for anyone to keep Colonel Young from being shelved and the scores of subordinate soldiers from walking over him to generalships and to have him restored before the war closed. Did anyone perform that task? Well, what was accomplished—who did it? Who stayed on the job until it was done? Did Secretary Scott accomplish anything else? Consult the myriads of black boys in khaki whose cases were relieved. Are we getting anywhere when we minimize accomplishment and magnify failure? Comparisons are insidious, but they will to the fore. President Wilson with the prestige of one of the world's greatest nations at his back, and untold resources at his command, as well as the selection of his task, did not get what he wanted despite his reception with open arms by the allies and unfeigned hope by the enemy. At the very outset Secretary Scott's position was circumscribed by a not too friendly administration, by constant contact with officers, hostile and disinterested who regarded his cause as anying intrusions. To whom could he turn from this frigid atmosphere for encouragement? Surely to the 12,000,000 Negroes. No. But it is not their fault, but the fault of the times, of their education. It was such a condition that caused Poland to fall. But Poland has persisted and come back. So will the Negro when he learns to cheer instead of harshly criticizing his own who is struggling under an overwhelming task and doing his best. Suppose Mr. Scott had resigned when things did not turn out to his liking. What would have been accomplished? Italy left Versailles and went home in a buff. But she returned and things remained as they were. Japan remained and got what she wanted against powerful odds. It is noticeable that Secretary Scott seems to prefer achieving to talking. Mr. and Mrs. Pearman of 614 Char lotte street, have moved to their new home, 1423 Garfield avenue. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1919.

Dr. Burris Jenkins will address the Sunday Forum at St. James, 1805 Woodland Avenue, at 3:30 p. m., Sunday, June 1st. Col. Chas. Young To Be Received In Royal Style Extensive arrangements are being made for the reception and entertainment of Colonel Charles Young during his visit and stay in our city. It had been planned to tender him an elaborate banquet, but on account of his brief stay which must necessarily be short, it is impossible to do so. Colonel Young is judge advocate in the trial of the case involving fourteen Negro soldiers at Camp Grant and he must return immediately after the delivery of his address. The following well known citizens of the Missouri side have been asked to act as a reception committee in conjunction with a like committee from the Kansas side and arrangements are being perfected to have an imposing parade composed of the High School Cadets, Kansas Home Guards and the Western University Cadets, each with their bands led by the reception committee through the principal thoroughfares over the Intercity Viaduct to Western University, where arrangements have been made to receive and seat the largest number of people that have ever attended a commencement in the history of the school. It is predicted that with the splendid reputation of Colonel Young as a soldier, a scolar and an orator, easily ten thousand people will hear the masterly address that he will deliver on this occasion. The Institution has made arrangements to serve dinner and refreshments all day upon the campus and those who get there early will have the advantage of a choice seat. The Missouri committee is as follows: Dr. J. E. Perry, Dr. T. Chapman, Rev. William H. Thomas, Rev. W. T. Osborne, Joseph Dimery, D. C. Osborne, James Holbert, J. A. Lee, G. A. Page, V. C.

King BALTIMORE ELECTS 2 NEGRO ALDERMEN (By Associated Negro Press.) Baldimore, Md., May 31.—With two Colored city councilmen taking their seats this week, and a Republican mayor, boosted into office by Colored voters, this city has awakened to its own power as never before. Colored people in the city yield over 16,000 votes, while the mayor-elect won by less than 9,000 majority. William L. Fitzgerald and Warner T. McGuinn are the new councilmen. The latter will represent the Fourteenth ward, which has a few more white than Colored residents. Mayor-elect William Broening, in a statement to Colored voters through the Afro-American, thanked them for their support, and promised to make his actions speak louder than words. Besides a Colored member on the Board of Education, the Colored people are prepared to request and put through for a new high school, swimming pool, better streets, and play grounds in Colored sections. KANAS CITY TO RAISE THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A few days ago at a mass meeting held at St. Stephen's Baptist Church, Rev. James W. Hurse, pastor, that was largely attended, an organization was formed and pledged to raise $3,000 in Kansas City, Mo., with which to assist in defending Dr. LeRoy N. Bundy. The committee was organized with Rev. James W. Hurse, chairman; Dr. Howard M. Smith, secretary; and Dr. D. N. Miller, treasurer, and a resolution was passed pledging Kansas City to raise $3,000 for this fund. Every loyal race loving Negro is urged to place his or her name upon the list of contributors to this fund. All organizations of every kind are urged to contribute to this worthy cause. Every person or organization who contributes more than one dollar, his or her name will be published in the Race papers. The defense is in immediate need of funds to pay for the record, so that the application for the removal of Dr. Bundy from the penitentiary can be heard. So subscribe quickly. Let's give a demonstration of the Kansas City spirit one time in the interest of the Race. Pledge cards can be found n all Race places, where the Bundy placards are displayed. Step in at once and pledge your support. Subscriptions can also be made at the office of the Kansas City Sun and "The Call." Teams are being organized to canvass the city, to give every one a chance to contribute. Any one desiring to assist in making the canvass, call Rev. James W. Hurse, Bell, East 4880. Dr. Bundy is in the penitentiary simply because he is a black man. LET'S GIVE HIM OUT. The Beau Brummel Social Club, an organization composed of fifty young Race men, invited Mr. Hueston to tell them of the Bundy trial, and within two minutes after Mr. Hueston finished his address, the club contributed $100.00 and pledged each member in getting pledges from other persons to raise the amount pledged at the mass meeting. The following pledges and contributions have been made to date: Beau Brummel Club.....$100.00 Thos. R. Marks.....50.00 Dr. T. W. J. Thompson.....10.00 Dr. T. C. Chopman.....10.00 Dr. J. E.

Ullery of Fort Smith, Ark., a house guest of the host and hostess, enroute to Douglass, Ariz.

(By Associated Negro Press.) Nashville, Tenn., ay 31.—A "community laundry" is to be established in this city for the Colored housewives.

If we had more men who would be willing to give up all for a principle the degraded white man would think twice before offering our women insults, much less than brutal treatment, in public places. We suffer ambarsrassment, humiliation, and are rampled upon by other shecause many of our men are cowards and are known to be by those who seek to take advantage of us. They talk gibly when there is no test being made of their valor, but when the trying hour comes, the ordeal, many sit with lips quences, or worse still, make a speedy mute, paralyzed with fear of conescape from the scene of action. One of the most valuable principles instilled into men under military training, so I heard one lieutenant say, is action. The men are taught that when in doubt they should act—do something, even though they turn out to be the wrong thing. Indecision is to be avoided. Would that our men would apply such principles to their daily life! If they did, the paths of those who seek to trample us beneath their feet would be strewn with anything else but flowers. The question arises in my mind as to just what a man of the cowardly type would do if he should see his wife, his own mother, or his own sister being abused by some friend who sought to degrade her. If he possessed the least spark of that God-given principle called manhood, if he could boast of the sort of back-bone that sets men apart from the other types --- --- of animals, every one knows that the aggressor would necessarily have to answer to him for his crime. It seems almost unbelievable that so many of our men went willingly to defend the women of Belgium and France against the outrages and brutal attacks of the Hun, and for the preservation of Democracy and then seek to evade the responsibility of defending their own wives, mothers and sisters against the "Hun" who lives and thrives at our very door. If we do not look to our own men for protection, for defense, from whence, and from what source must our protection come? From God? But, God does not work in this particular way. And, any man who waits for God or another to do for him that which he has brain and brawn to do for himself should expect nothing else but the worst of the bargain. If our men seek to establish an alibi by saying that they have families to whom they must give first thought, let them take John Phillips of Newport, Ark., as a noble example of Negro manhood. It is because they are fathers that they should feel more heavily the responsibility which rests upon their shoulders, for the Negro boys of today must defend and protect the Negro girls and women of tomorrow. If these boys have in their homes fathers of noble character and undaunted principles we may rest assured that this part of the Negro problem dealing with the preservation and the sanctity of Negro womanhood will amply take care of itself.

ADVERTISING RATES, $2.00 PER INCH PER MONTH Dr. Burris Jenkins will address the Sunday Forum at St. James, 1805 Woodland Avenue, at 3:30 p. m., Sunday, June 1st. The Editor acknowledges an invitation from his old friend, Hon. I. H. Bradbury, of St. Louis, to attend the annual banquet of the Missouri Republican Club and regrets that he was unable to be present. The political straws are showing the direction of the wind and the signs are indicating by starlight the prospects of a Republican victory in 1920. Probably many of the states, including Missouri will fall in line with the G. O. P. It remains for the Republican Party to readjust many things for the good of the people, but it does not pre-tend, like patent medicines, to be good for all the ills of the body politic.

Don't fail to get screens for the doors and windows. Preserve as well as beautify your homes by painting them. Keep the grass cut, the papers, rags and children's toys picked up and the porches and walks cleaned. Let us do this to show a certain class of people that we are human, that we realize what humanity is and what it is doing to make life worth living. A boastful man once remarked that a man's brain is bigger than a woman's. To this boast a woman replied, "Well, the same thing is true about his feet, but the yare no more serviceable than a woman's." We are reminded of this conversation when we thought of Lincoln High School. Our colleges and universities are bigger than Lincoln High School, but they are no more serviceable to the Negroes of the community than our unrivaled high school. The annual physical and art exhibition; the commencement exercises as announced by Prof. J. R. E. Lee, are so educative in performance that they are drawing the masses of our people to Lincoln High School with an irresistible attraction.

NOTICE, CORRESPONDENTS! All correspondents outside of city and from churches in the two cities. Must have their news in the office to insure publication not later than Wednesday morning. If your news matter fails to appear, you'll know the reason why. Please allow space to speak to the public on "Keeping House in the Heart." I would first ask you to read Prov. 4. Ch. 21-23 verses: "My son attend to my word; keep them in the midst of thine heart for they are life to those that find them and wealth to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all dillence for out of it are the issues of life." If you should ask any one to define housekeeping for you, first they would say a kitchen to cook and wash in, second sitting room to live in and third a bedroom to sleep in, a parlor to receive one's guests and you would suppose that was the way that things were at his or her house. But I think a parlor should be used when there are no guests to receive. The heart is a house in which the soul lives. Our bodies walk out of our houses every day. Just in the same way the soul comes out of the heart in thoughts, words and feelings, out of it are the issues of life. A house is built to give comfort and everything is arranged so as to add to our happiness. It would not be comfortable with only bare walls. It must have chairs, tables, bed steads and many other nice things that are good and useful. So the heart will have feelings, love notes and plans. If you are not good, the heart will not be comfortable. There would be no comfort if a table was full of sharp things that ran into us every time we ate at it," so if the heart is furnished with bad feelings and the love of bad things, it will not be a comfortable place for the soul to live in. I said that the heart must have plans. What is a plan? It is to think out what you intend to do in the future. There cannot be a successful life without a plan. There were two boys who lived in the same town and one of them always had a plan. In the morning he used to plan all his work and his study and even his play for the day, at the beginning nin gof the year, but he could not succeed in carrying them all out, but and he always hoped to improve his condition someway or the other. The other boy had no thought of what he had to do and made no preparation for his work and often feel short of many a blessing. So reader God wants us to let Him furnish the heart with good feelings, good love and good plans. Will you ask Him for his help so that we may have comfort? When I see people proud or unkind I think the heart needs cleaning and reader you are just like the company you keep day by day. At one time I saw a little girl wash her brother's mouth with soap. She said he used bad language and swore so she would wash his mouth with soap and every time you have a dirty thought your heart needs washing with God's spirit. So reader learn to keep the heart clean so keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Rev. William Williams. Pastor Mt. Tabor A. M. E.
