PRINCIPAL LEE AND FACULTY DOING GREAT WORK. (Stenographically reported by Willa Glenn Peebles and Irene Loretta Smith.) On last Tuesday morning at 8:30 the Lincoln High School opened with an enrollment of 550 students, the largest in number in the history of this school. Many parents and friends were in attendance. The opening song was by the High School body followed by prayer by Principal J. R. E. Lee, followed with the Lord's prayer chanted by the student body. In addressing the students, Prof. Lee said in part: "I trust that you young men and young women will appreciate the responsibility which is being daily forced upon you. It will be up to you as an old saying—"There is always room at the top" but I do not want you to feel that there is a top. Keee working, just keep on doing your best. Never loog for the top. Always be point out as the young man or your woman who does his best." Rev. William H. Thomas was called up to make a few remarks and for laying are excerpts from his brief point addressed: "I count myself very fortunate to be privileged this more important to represent the ministry of our City for no opening of a school in an age of the world's history means a PROF J.

The big brainy Principal of Lincoln High School who is bringing things to pass, and who finds his building wholly inadequate to house the multitude of students who are clamoring for admission this year. teachers and students whether you are going to do your whole duty in studying and in teaching. Ever since I have been here, I have wanted the first talk made at the opening of school by Prof. Grisham; last year he was not here, but today I am going to ask Prof. Grisham to make a three minute introductory talk." Prof. Grisham in his usual eloquent style said: "I am not going to make a three minute talk. I can remember the time when it took me three hours to say what I can say in less than three minutes now. But I want to express to you my profound appreciation in seeing this building crowded to its capacity because it represents that a large number of our future generation is preparing for its life's work. I remember quite vividly the time when I expressed a desire to see the enrollment of Lincoln High School reach the mark of fifty but it more than reached my fondest expectations when I observed the enrolment to be 150 and now it is 550. much as this era. I am sure it is a source of inspiration for your elders to witness this gathering. I will remember when I was a student like this, of the time when I was in High School. I loved the High School. Young men and young women this begins a new year. It is not what you know, but what you can do. That marks the educational era. For it is what he does and not what he knows, that is the character test. Principal Lee than called upon a number of the students to relate just now their vacations had been spent. Marshall Love said: "I am indeed glad to be back in school again. During the summer, my vacation was pleasant and profitable. My time was spent acting in the capacity of Secret tary for my father and as he was away a great part of his time, I was able to learn a good deal about business methods as it was often necessary for me to conduct the Love Theatre." Ruth Price said: "I enjoyed my way Young people the manner of numbers is not the most important thing, it is how much good will come out of that number whether it be a large number or a small one. The point that counts for quality. Quality counts here. It counts in the price of everything. You are here to learn how to better the conditions of your environment and the cry of the time is quality. Young people you will find that the demand for quality will meet you on every hand when you go out into the world. Woe unto the boy or girl who goes out into the world half prepared.

Ruth Price said: "I enjoyed my vacation very much. I spent the entire summer working and was able to earn about $80.00, $30.00 of which I saved. I am glad to be back in school." Richard Carper said: "I was employed at the Armour Packing Plant where I was able to earn about $145.00 most of which I spent getting ready for school. It was pretty hard down there, especially the kind of work I was doing, but I thought that I might as well get used to going up against hard things." Ella May Washington: "I spent a very pleasant vacation. I also had a profitable summer as a major portion of the time I worked at theatres. I am glad to be able to enter school again." Entered as second-class matter, August City, Mo., under the postoffice of 5, 8.1879. William Love said: "I was employed the entire summer, working for the C. F. Dunham Box Co., and for Swift & Co., and earned $50.00 or $75.00. I am glad to be here though." Edna Turner said: "I spent a pleasant vacation as I did not work this year. I am glad to be back." Anna Moore said: "I spent a pleasant vacation keeping house and doing Y work and I am very glad to be back." Gee, Smith said: "I worked all summer with the Lincoln High School repairing automobiles and so forth. I earned about 25 cents an hour. Mr. Brooks had an auto which was constantly getting out of repair and every time it did, he offered us a watermelon to fix it; that kept us filled up pretty much. I did not earn much money but I felt that some things count for more than money." Miss Doris Novel was then called upon to render a selection and she received a rousing ovation. Miss Novel is attending Kansas University and Principal Lee stated how Miss Novel had been able to attend school by the assistance of relatives and her own persistent energy. Harry Fremont was then called upon but was absent. Lillian Campbell said: "I spent a very pleasant vacation and am glad to be back again in school. I worked at different theatres after trying to work in a private family which I found was too hard for me." Victoria Simpson said: "I spent a very pleasant vacation as I worked almost the entire summer with the Millinery Department of Lincoln High School making hats." Prof. Lee than said: "The Millinery department of this school made 631 hats for the Frank Millinery Co. Instead of the expression that we cannot get work, we are able to say that we can get more work than we can do. The girls in the Millinery department orked so hard and steadily that I felt that they and their instructor needed some rest before beginning the next scholastic year and asked them to clos shop for a few days. But the Frank Millinery Co. was still calling for more hats when they closed." James Johnson was then called upon and said: "I worked the major part of the summer with the Clay Manufacturing Co." Harry Walker said: "I worked this summer in the Printing department of Lincoln High School and enjoyed it very much." Alvin Starks said: "I worked all summer on 26 different school buildings, painting ventilators and fire escapes. Possibly some of you don't know what a ventilator is but there is one (pointed to one). One of the boys called the fire escapes—"knee breakers." His quaint expressions created much laughter. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919. Alla May Nelson said: "I worked from the 24th of June at a Bag factory and quit July 21st to attend the Sunday School Convention at Lexington, Mo., as a representative from Ward's Chapel. I was elected Secretary there and earned $2.00. When I returned home I resumed my work until August 26. I saved $27.00." Clara Martin said: "I had a very pleasant vacation. I worked in a private family at 33rd and Baltimore and saved enough money to buy my books and clothes for school." Ceil Newman said: "I began work in the Trades' Dept. in the Carpentry Class and worked there most of the summer. We intended to build a gymnasium, but found there was a need for lunchroom tables and chairs. We made several of each and finding that there was need for an annex to Attucks school, went over and built that. If you want to see some good work, just inspect the annex to Attucks School." Mr. W. C. Hueston, attorney at law then spoke and among the many good things he said was: "I have a keen interest in the high school and I am very glad to be here. I read the list of teachers for the high school this year with, I feel sure the same keen interest that the young men and women here have also. This high school represents our race in the contest that we are to have in this country and let it be understood that a contest is to come in the years to come and you must decide for yourself whether or not this test is to be won by you. As I came here this morning, my mind reminisces to the years long passed when I went to school and at which time I dare say no female teacher on this platform will admit she had been born. I am wondering whether or not the opportunities which you have now are be (Continued on Page 8.) MRS. JORDAN INJURED. Mrs. Kate Jordan, 66 years of age, widow of the late Samuel Jordan and one of the wealthiest and most prominent ladies of our city was seriously injured last. Saturday by being run down by an automobile driven by a young white man. The Editor and a reporter for the Sun happened to be standing directly in front of the place where the accident occurred on twelfth street near Vine and they hurriedly picked her up, carried into Montgomery's News Stand where she later was attended by Dr. L. J. Holly. After a hasty examination she was carried to her residence and on account of the seriousness of her injuries was later carried to Wheatley-Provident Hospital where we are pleased to say she is improving nicely. Her collar bone three upper ribs on the left side and several lacerations to her face were the injuries she received. On account of her age, relatives and friends were very much exercised. Of her children, Mrs. Callie Edwards, Mrs. Sallie Love, Mrs. Edna Watts, Oliver and Alvin Jordan are in attendance upon her. Alvin reaching her side a few minutes after the accident and remained with her constantly until the extent of her injuries had been fully ascertained. The Sun hopes for her speedy recovery. REV. BACOTE'S HOME BOMBED. The home of Rev. S. W. Bacote for twenty-four years the popular pastor of Second Baptist Church this city, was dynamited last week by some miscreant who evidently is following out the propaganda of certain interests on the East side who do not want Negroes in that section of the city. Dr. Bacote has lived in his home, 2210 Kansas Ave., for more than twelve years and has always been courteously treated and highly respected by the white people of that section. He has always counselled the industry courtesy and conservatism on the part of his people, but apparently that counts for nothing with that class of "Rough necks" who delight to sing "All Coons look alike to us". No arrests have been made. (By Associated Negro Press.) Baltimore, Md., Sept. 12. — George W. F. McMechen, the Baltimore law year, who was elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, is a native of Wheeling, W. Va. He was educated at Morgan College, receiving his bachelor's degree in 1895.

You belong to the first class. DR. W. H. MIXON Supreme Master and Col. J. L. Garrett, Supreme Treasurer, "Busy Bees," I. O. B. & S. of C., will be here September 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.

To the Colored People of Greater Kansas City:— er Kansas City:— This is to inform you that I own a sewing machine factory with 50 power machines and the machinery thereunto belonging, now located in one of the storerooms of my office building, that cost me $1,800, which is clear of encumbrance. Mr. McCamey has undertaken to get the colored people of this city to form a corporation to run it and I have agreed to incorporate it at the expense of the company for $3,500, if he can get stockholders to take $1,700, stock $300 in cash with the balance subscribed. It takes $2,000, of paid stock to obtain a charter in Missouri. Some time ago white merchants offered to furnish me with the cloth and money to pay the operators to make up goods for them. I have too much business on hand to run the factory alone, but I can keep the ledger account and get work in from my law office.

Albert Alexander Gilbert, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gilbert was born in Cooper County, Mo., 1857 being at the time of his death 62 years of age. From early boyhood to his entrance into the ministry along with many associates now active in the Missouri Conferences, his was a very positive nature. Our acquaintance with him as pastor and presiding elder gave us an opportunity to know of his open, frank and Christian disposition in the adjustment of all questions that arose. He was one of the most open-hearted and least resentful ministers we ever knew. In the social circle, Dr. Gilbert was always in demand and much sought after, because of his genial manner and intensely interesting conversation. Being of an agreeable nature, he was loved by his relatives and friends. His devote wife who was formerly Miss Ballew of Chillicothe, Mo., was equally loyal to him during their 31 years as companions. His illness was of long duration and intensely painful. Occasionally, there were times of surcease from pain, and then last Tuesday night came the unquestioning testimony of a soul at peace with its Maker. The deceased is survived by a wife, father, three sisters, four brothers, other relatives and a host of friends. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 10:00 A. M. at Allen Chapel with Rev Brooks of Hannibal, Mo., delivering the funeral sermon and Rev. W. M. Thomas Master of ceremonies. "Servant of God well done.. Rest from the blest employ, The battle fought, the victory won, Enter the Master's joy." ALLEN CHAPEL.

Everyone enjoyed the services all the more because the mortgage debt which has hung like a pal over Allen for many years had been wiped out....Now that the Southwest Missouri Annual Conference will be held in Allen Chapel beginning Wednesday morning, October 8, steps are being taken by the ladies of the church preparatory for its entertainment by giving an indoor affair at the church the admission to which will be 25c. It is hoped that it will be received with a ready response by members and friends alike.

An Memoriam. One lonely year has passed, Yet we remember well, We watched beside your dying bed, To take our last farewell. With tearful eyes, we watched you, And saw you pass away. Although we dearly loved you, We could not make you stay. No sorrowing though No grief is thine God gives thee joy He wipes thy tear Thou art waiting in Where the Holy r And when we cross We will see Thee Sadly r MRS. KATE R THOS. A. W. MR. AND MR. JENNIE BARR LIBERIA IS A FAIR REPLY TO ALL WHO DENY THE NEGRO'S CAPACITY TO RULE HIMSELF. The Republic Has Run the Gauntlet of Much Ridicule and Sharp Criticism But Is Making Good. M. B. B. Modern civilization leaves its marks on all mankind who embraces it; it carries men into the frozen and almost lifeless North, seeking hidden treasures and undiscovered mysteries; it has carried him into the deadly swamps where the monstrous beasts and reptiles and fatal fevers are present everywhere; his bones are strewn all through the lifeless deserts, which is a glaring proof of his daring, and to these restless people who have traversed the entire globe we owe for our present civilization. "A race that will stay put," within the borders of their former owners, when given an opportunity to go back to their primitive land, where they can have unlimited freedom to enjoy a civilization on a par with the best governments of the world cannot claim to have reached that high mark of civilization which causes races to feel keenly the of their fellow race men, no matter how remote they may be, and to administer to their relief first—then to other races. Isn't this quite natural? Can a people be justly censured for doing this? On the other hand, is it race pride for us to join in laughter when we are held up in literature and moving pictures for ridicule or something very humorous—never as a lady or gentleman. Yet we find many of our girls weeping over the trials of characters of a literature that only permits her to be a fussy, slip-shod servant. It is not a disgrace to be black in Liberia. Black people rule. A black lady or black gentleman are the highest standard of citizenship. If nature had slipped a cog somehow and produced a white race of people in the interior of Africa, like some of the stories we read, no matter how barbarous they might have been, they would have been civilized long ago. Race pride of the white Nations would have done it. Where is the American Negro's race pride? Does he confuse self pride with race pride, or is it just lip service? As this is strictly a race article, we invite the Negro press to copy, as a duty we owe to the Republic of Lk beria and to the noble men of both races who have given up their lives and money to establish a place for the American black man.

On the whole, this activity of the Negro on his own behalf is something to be welcomed. He has been often told that his salvation depends upon himself, and his agitation in defense of his rights can hardly fail to bring out into the free light of public discussion a subject which has often been avoided yet must eventually be dealt with.—The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Mass.

Since the Washington and Chicago riots, the daily newspapers of the South have been having a glorious time joshing the North. They have been saying, in effect, "While we lynch Negroes in the South, we never bother other than the one lynched; all others are safe." Now comes Knoxville, Tenn., knocking the sox out of that filmm argument. In a riot in that Southern city, Negroes were called upon to defend themselves and their homes, as they were called upon in Washington and Chicago. That they manifested a remarkable spirit of self defense, all reports concur. The time has come when the American Negro has taken up the famous expression of Marshall Joffre and made it their own: "They Shall Not Pass." The American Negro has been of the most patient and long suffering group of people ever known to history. He is in perfect love with all that is just and righteous. "Perfect love casts out all fear," and therefore in defense of his manhood rights, death today, has real charms. This being the case, and since it has been a long time custom of the tough element of the American whites to hold the Race in subjection by fear, it seems most prudent, wise and timely to "come, let us reason together." In many communities, North and South, this is being done with fine effect. It may as well be understood, and nothing else should be expected whether this is regarded as a "white man's country"—even though it was stolen from the Red man, who has all ways been friendly to the Black man or not, the American Negro today has a new point of view, which all hades cannot wipe out. Listening to the siren of Righteousness, Justice, Liberty, Freedom and Democracy, he has accepted the tenor of their way, and with keen eyes, set face, steady tread, open mind and strong arm, asks nothing more, and certainly will take nothing less. Neither the aggressor nor the oppressor, the American Negro places his cause before the right thinking people of the Nation, who, in every crisis, has been the victors. In announcing the publication of Professor Payne's latest contribution to the literature of the Negro race, we feel that we are announcing a book that is destined to shape the future destinities of the race more than any other recent book written of and around the race problems. Professor Payne's untiring efforts for many years in behalf of race betterment and his methods of helping the Negro of the South to help himself in obtaining and maintaining his political and social liberty are well known so most of those who are abreast with and deeply interested in the race propaganda. This volume is not only a brief history of the Negro race in its relation to the making of American history, but is a dependable text on political and social economy as well. The author has been a painstaking student of all faction and factional disturbances of race troubles and race prejudices in all sections of the South since emancipation. His analysis have always been clean, clear cut and with a desire to indicate how best to obtain justice to all. A glance over the table of contents will show the value of the text. Bound in cloth. Price $1.50 prepaid. The opening of a new addition in the Southeast section of the city for Colored people, one at 33rd and Denver, and another at 34th and Topping, will go a long ways towards the solving in an acute way the residential conditions that surround the colored people in this rapidly growing city. And doubtless these splendid offerings, the full advertisement of which will be found in another column of our paper, will be snapped up hastily by our thrifty and energetic citizenry. To own a home is to be a factor in the government of the city in which you live. The Sun suggests that every Negro family become a factor by buying a home. GET OUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER. We may be, as the President assures us, the hope of the world. But now, sick at heart with the hideous spectacle which Washington andago have presented, we feel more confessing, in humility and shame spirit, that we are after all "as on mortals," and like urging we should not undertake to regulate affairs of all other nations at sense of neglecting to set our house in order.—Harvey's ecital given at the Second church by Madame Anna May was attended by a large people, and it is needless the audience was an ap- one.

From the Independent, New York. Bearing on the problem of America's "subject race," brought to the front by the race riots in Washington and Chicago, the New York World, rated the foremost Democratic newspaper of the United States, published a striking editorial article, which said: One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the crimes of individuals. For many years this has been and it still is the practice in American States that do not recognize the citizenship of the Negro. To accuse a black man is to condemn him to torture and death, and resentment on massacres that are complacently dignified as race wars. What we see now in Washington is more properly to be thus classified than any other disturbance that we have had, and there is a reason for its worthy of serious consideration. Negroes are taking part in the hostilities. If they are assaulted or shot, they are assaulting and shooting in return. In defense of life, limb and liberty they are meeting mobs with mobs. Depolarable as all this lawlessness is the response of the black man to the white man was bound to come some time. The Negro has long been free. He has acquired some education and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. The laws under which he lives guarantee him equality. He escapes no responsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in large sections of the Union when riot is afoot he is stripped of every right and driven either into hiding or violence. Is there anybody at the South or elsewhere who imagines that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United Tsates Army in many instances so creditably as to win high commendation, has had no influence upon them or the mass of their people at home? Who is foolish enough to assume that with 239,999 colored men in uniform from the Southern States alone as against 370,000 white men, the blacks whose manhood and patriotism were thus recognized and tested are forever to be flogged, lynched, burned at the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes? We grieve over the hardships of many subject peoples a long way off and on occasion manifest something resembling indignation, but in all the world there is hardly a population so God-forsaken and law-forsaken as our own blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, therefore, the Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars hereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court. It ought not to be necessary for him to fight for it. The New York Tribune and the New York Sun, both Republican, congratulated the World on doing "a bold thing and a loyal thing," and urged it to continue its labor to establish the principles of the practically ignored post-Civil War amendments to the Constitution. In rejoier the World, apparently not altogether enjoyng the compliments, replied that it had not political rights so much in mind as the Negro's day in court—a condition under which a black man accused of a crime would be sure of a fair trial. It called attention to the fact that no one votes in Washington, and said that the North, practically as much as the DAVID CUNNINGHAM PICNIC PARTIES A SPECIALTY Bell Phone East 4438 A STORE FOR E 18th and P Snappy Goods, incl Models and Fall Milli and Gents' Furnishing correctly priced.

The answer of the Tribune and the Sun was that the practice of certain states to deny to the Negro his constitutional suffrage right was at once the symbol and source of the suppression of his other rights, and that the poison distilled by asserting in a most concrete way that the Negro is an inferior naturally spread to the remainder of the country. The controversy is an old one and of course nothing new is likely to be said concerning it. It is, however, painfully evident that, as the Negro rises, and his cultural and material progress grows slow and steady, he is less disposed to submit to being put on. The service of thousands of colored men in the war, on the whole in a creditable way, has had a great educative influence. In particular collisions the Negro is doubtless ten wrong, but on the main questions he feels he is fundamentally right, and is apparently persuaded that as long as the ballot is withheld no other right is safe. So there is now discernible an increasing disposition to follow the ideas of Burgard du Bois rather than those of Booker Washington, who counseled the Negro to be patient and to develop private virtues first. The charge is made that Negro unrest is largely due to I. W. W. and Bolshevik propaganda. Doubtless those who have an interest in promoting revolutionary disturbances are neglecting no discontented element, but there is little evidence adduced showing that the rise of Negro radicalism is primarily due to outside incitation. It seems rather to proceed from causes which existed long before the I. W. W. or the Bolshevik were heard of, and to constitute in many ways the gravest of American domestic problems. It does not seem in reason that a race which has shown the vitality of the black race can be permanently kept in the status of degraded inferiority. For some time, even in liberal circles, the idea has had vogue trat a mistake wts made of giving the Negro a vote too soon. But it is becoming more and more contended that the blunder in reconstruction days was in making the Negro nominally free while giving him neither land nor tools. There was no recognition of the fact that he had an equitable claim to a part of the wealth his labor had helped to heap up, and he sank into deplorable economic dependence. It is pointed out that even an autocraticzar, when he freed even the Russian serfs, gave two-thirds of the land tothem as their plain right. If thedeided advice of the Freedman's Bureau had been taken and each former slave family had been started with forty acres and a mule it is possible that by this time it would be muchbetter with whites in regions of largeNegro population. CAPT. C. H TANDY DEAD St. Louis, Mo.-Charlton H. Tandy was born of free parents at or near Lexington, Ky., in the year 1835. When 22 years old, he came to St. Louis and soon had wide acquaintance and extraordinary prestige with both races here even in those repressive slavery days. He died Sunday, August 31st, at his late residence, 1224 Bayard avenue. He has held many positions of trust under both national and local administrations. According to Nicholas M.

Mr. Bell said that when he was a member of the Legislature in 1870, Tandy proposed through him a bill for schools for Negroes, and it was passed. The next session Tandy urged a bill for the establishment of a Negro high school, and it also was passed, according to Bell. "I knew Tandy for forty-nine years," Bell said, "and no Negro did more for his race than he." As commander of a colored company of the Home Guard during the Civil War, he added to his name the title by which he was ever afterward known. The funeral was held Saturday at the First Baptist Church under the auspices of the U. B. F., of which he was the first Grand Master in Missouri, and was attended by all the grand officers of the organization as well as by thousands who knew and loved him for his devotion to his race.
