COLLINS. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920. FREDERICK DOUGLASS DEAD. Many Kansas Cityans will be surprised to hear of the death of Frederick Douglass, a well known figure in the sporting world in this city for many years until he went to Coffeyville, Kas, some three years ago, and from here to Tulsa, Okla, where he was living at the time of his death. Douglass was engaged in many occupations during his years of residence here, having kept rooming house, barber shop, tailoring establishment, pool hall, saloon, was a professional bondman, occasionally practiced law in the police courts and was of a splendid physique, attractive personality 'and a genial disposition that made him many friends among all classes. The following account from the Tulsa Star tells of his death: Noted Tulaa Politician Passes Away Wednesday Morning After Brief Illness—Wife and Mother- in-Law Present at End. Frederick Douglass is dead. Frederick Douglass, the well known political leader and habitue of Greenwood avenue and other Tulsa thoroughfares, has passed to the world beyond. Tuesday, word came to the Star office of Mr. Douglass' serious illness and Wednesday morning the word came that he had died during the night at 1:35 a.m. m. from an attack of Bright's disease. Fred Douglass was widely known all over Oklahoma on account of his activities in behalf of the Democratic party. During August last, he was associated with other prominent Colored Oklahoma Democrats in holding a state convention in this city, which strongly endorsed the candidacy of Governor J. E. Cox of Ohio. His political career in Oklahoma started in 1917, when he espoused the cause of Hubbard against Simons. This was one of the most memorable campaigns ever fought in this city and Fred Douglass played a conspicuous part on the firing line. In the primaries this fall Fred entered the race as a candidate for Justice of the Peace in District No. 4, on the Democratic ticket but was unsuccessful. He was energetic and useful as an organizer and at the time of his death was serving as President of the local Afro-American Democratic Club which has a large membership and has rendered faithful and valuable aid to the party. Prior to his arrival in Oklahoma, he had taken prominent part in political campaigns in Kansas City, Mo., and Coffeyville, Kas. Fred Douglass was also widely known in local and state benevolent society circles, especially the Knights of Pythias and Elks orders. In these societies on account of his ability and energy he was a recognized leader. At the time of his death he was a member of Oriental Lodge No. 29, K. of P., Coffeyville, Kas., and Cosmopolitan Lodge No. 247, I. B. P. O. E. of W., Tulsa Ok. Fred Douglass was born in Missouri on January 16, 1873, and died December 8, 1920, in his 47th year. He is survived by a wife, Georgia Douglass, to whom he was married September 19, 1913; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Rider, and his aunt, Mrs. Bibbs, of Milwaukee, Wis., who is in the city to take charge of the funeral obsequies. Was 73 Years a Member of the A. M. E. Church—58 Years Active Preacher of the Gospel, 50 Years in the Itinerant Ministry and Ten Years Superannuated. On last Sunday morning Rev. Dr. Theodore Gould, one of the oldest members of the Philadelphia Annual Conference, was called to the great byond. In his death a great man is gone to reap his reward. Dr. Gould was born on August 12, 1830, in Bridgeton, N. J. He united with the church in November, 1847, and was licensed to exhort in 1851. He was licensed to preach in 1853, ordained deacon in 1958 and ordained elder in 1862. The funeral services were held at Allen A. M. E. Church Tuesday. MADAME E. B. STEELE Scalp Treatments (Criterion System,) Hair Dressing and Hair Manufacturing. Facial Massage by careful operators. 2114 VINE STREET, :: :: KANSAS CITY, MO. BEAUTIFUL — MORE BEAUTIFUL — MOST BEAUTIFUL. "A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever." If you visit the LaBelle College and Hair Emporium, you will be thoroughly convinced that the above statement is true. The founder of the LaBelle College & Hair Emporium, Mdme, S E. Laing, has made such a wonderful progress during the three years she has been located at 1607 E. 18th Street it is hardly believable that so much could be accomplished in such a short period. Madame Laing is a woman of rare business ability and keen foresight, is never satisfied with small accomplishments. Early this fall she desired to have her establishment remodeled and called in an interior decorator and the result is she has the most beautiful establishment of its kind in the West. As you enter the building your attention is first attracted by the woodwork of the interior which is snow white, then as you continue to look you cannot help but be impressed with the walls which are artistically and handsomely decorated. Then as you proceed further you notice the large white showcases filled with hair goods made into every kind of a piece known, hair dressing tools of every description, hair dye and everything imaginable which you would expect to find in the most up-to-date establishment of its kind. There are private booths prettily arranged for hair dressing, manicuring and massaging and those with the lovely draperies produce a very pretty effect. Mme Laing is conducting a sale during the holidays and is inviting every one that is really interested in the uplift of the race to this sale. During this sale, to anyone who makes a purchase of $2.50 or more, she will give a present which is on exhibition at the Emporium. She is also offering her guaranteed hair dye for 75 cent a box when two or more boxes are purchased. The La Belle College is open at all times for the enrollment of students. The La Belle course consists viz., hair dressing, manicuring, facial massage, manfacturing hair goods, wig making and french ventilating. Beautiful switches transformations, curls, puffs, toilete articles and hair dressing tools of all kinds will be sold during this sale.

Kansas City, Mo --- On account of the unusual and extraordinary demand for papers containing the writeup of Dr. Theodore Smith's Drug Store, which demand we were absolutely unable to supply last week, we are running again on another page of this issue the inspiring story of Dr. Smith's successful achievements. ************************** And maybe those Kansas City lads don't think well of their burg. When it comes to boosting, those boys fit along very well with Nelson Crews, the Ozark editor, whose second nature is to boost Missouri and Kansas City. Dr. Smith wished us up to the fact that he was once an athlete. Do you get us, ONCE! Harry St. Clair rode to Indianapolis on the front of the engine; the headlight on the choo choo wouldn't work so Harry fitted in quite well with his Sparklers.

The 13th annual session of the Al Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the largest fraternity of Negro college men, begins its opening session Monday after noon, December 27, at Lincoln High School, where all the business sessions will be held. Enrolled in this fraternity are some of the men most prominent in the educational and political affairs of the country. Many of these will be present at this convention. At the public meeting which will be held at Allen Chapel Tuesday December 28, at 8 p. m., Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago will be the principal speaker. Others on the program will be Dr Lucius McGhee of the University of Chicago, national president; Attorney Herman E. Moore of Harvard University, vice president, and Attorney R. L. Vaughan, a very prominent lawyer of Pittsburgh, Pa. WAS HE LUCKY OR UNLUCKY? If 18th and Vine streets do not form a totally blind corner its eye sight is at least dimmed so far as street carmen and motorists are concerned. Last Sunday about 8:30 in the morning, a Vine street special, after clanging its noisy bell, was nosing gracefully around the corner. There was nothing unusual about this and would hardly be mentioned were it not that at the very identical moment a truck, driven by Roscoe White, was towing in a derelict bodiless car which was reaching for the same spot, but was going east, and of course caused the inevitable collision. Roscoe managed to get the truck passed, but not so the trailing derelict, so the street car caught it a healthy broadside, crushing the weak er vessel in several parts. Jess Wilson was sitting on the car when it was struck helping to guide it to its destiny. This fact brings out the marvel. Instead of jumping, and per haps being mangled under the debris or street car, he remained, not in his seat, however, as this was wrecked also, but holding valiantly to the stirring wheel—perfectly cool and serene. The conductor hurried out and jolted down a few names, then boarded his car, signalled the motorman, and left the usual crowd of curiosity seekers gaping and wondering. A police man came later to learn what was the matter. The truck finally dragged the woe smitten derelict up the street, and a witness exclaimed "Gee! that guy on the derelict was a lucky Bird!" KAPPA ALPHA PSI; ANNUAL MEETING. The Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Kappa Alpha Psi, a National Greek Letter Fraternity, and the first to be incorporated among Negro College men, will convene at Temple University, Philadelphia, December 30, 31, (1920) and January 1, 1921.

Woodward, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Howard University, Washington; Dr. Williams, Dr. Harrison, Dr. Porter, of Chicago, and Dr. Carey, of Detroit, Dr. Conwell, President of the Temple University, will deliver the address of welcome to the delegates. Mrs. Ida Becks is in Armstrong, Mo. to spend the holidays with her aged mother. She will return the first part of the year. Nelson C.

The Rev. J. Pulum, negro preacher from the Missouri side, was invited to occupy the pulpit last night of the Church of Brotherly Love, Kimball and Hallock streets, Kansas saddle. After expounding from the texts on the love each Christian should bear for his fellow, Brother Pulum proceeded to demonstrate by kissing each woman in the congregation. Moses Phillips, an honorable elder, not grasping Brother Pulum's viewpoint, threw a lighted lamp at the preacher just as Mrs. Moses Phillips was about to receive an ardent smack on the lips from the visiting parson. Brother Pulum went down under the blow, but did not take the count. The lamp Phillips threw had been the only means of lighting the church, and in the darkness the preacher escaped to the street, and hurried to Kansas Side police headquarters. There he said he had been struck on the head by Phillips. Phillips appeared a few minutes later at police headquarters with several men members of the church, and explained the provocation that prompted him to hurl the lamp. Brother Phillips was not arrested.—Wednesday's Times.

Beautiful Magnificent Superb That's What Thousands, Young and Old, Black and White, are Saying About Dr. Theodore Smith's Up-to-the-Minute Drug Store Since the Installation of His New Furniture and Fixtures and Enlargement of His Building DR. SMITH A REAL RACE LEADER The splendid achievement of this popular Business Man was not accomplished in a day, but is the result of earnest, patient and untiring energy. Cafe Interior of the beautiful drug store of Dr. Theodore Smith at 18th Street and Tracy Ave., Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. Smith is seem standing near the cigar counter. The story of Theodore Smith, Kansas City's pioneer Druggist, and his achievements read like the story from Alladin's Fables; so brilliant and successful have been his endeavors along business lines. Dr. Smith, who is yet a young man, came to this city some 18 years ago from the capital of the Nation to take charge of the first drug store that had been established by Colored people in this city which was owned by the late Bishop C. T. Shaffer and one or two local physi- Interior of the beautiful drug st Street and Tracy Ave., Kansas City, near the cigar counter. cians. After remaining with them about a year, Dr. Smith decided to go in business for himself and opened a very modest little establishment about two blocks east of this first drug store, 908 East Twelfth Street, where he had only a few shelves, a handful of drugs and one of the old fashioned goose-necks for a south fountain. But imbued with the determination to make good in his chosen profession and fruitful field of endeavor Dr. Smith applied himself assiduously to building up his business with such remarkable success that in three years he had a chain of three drug stores, one at 908 East 12th street, one at Independence and Campbell, and one at the present location, 18th Street and Tracy Avenue. But so exacting and burdensome became the task of operating all three of these establishments that six years ago Dr. Smith decided to merge them into one grand establishment and the magnificent Pharmacy now located at 18th and Tracy, is the result of his determined efforts in those strenuous days. So large did Dr. Smith's business become that it was necessary for him last spring to secure a lease for ten years on the adjoining store room to the store he has occupied for a number of years, and both storerooms were then placed into the hands of a contractor for remodeling and decorating and their work completed a few days ago makes his spacious storerooms easily the most attractive and covering the largest amount of floor space of any like establishment in the country. The walls and ceilings are handsomely and tastily decorated and upon the floors is the most costly linoleum purchasable in beautiful tile design; while the fixtures are of elegant mahogany giving a rich seen in any other establishment. Each booth is capable of seating eight people. There are also built in mahogany telephone booths with comfortable chairs and directory holders where one can be absolutely secluded and shut off from any noise on the outside. The most impressive feature in this beautiful establishment is the sparkling, modern and exquisitely beautiful soda fountain which is the most complete we have ever seen. It extends sixteen feet with massive marble top with a back bar of the same material and finish with solid plate glass mirrors, massive in their proportions, mirrors alone costing more than three hundred dollars. The fountain contains twelve containers for holding the different fruit extracts, also elegant curved handled silver ladies for cream depositories of which there are four on each side of the fountain proper. The back bar is lined with white enamel throughout, icing receptacles and is arranged to hold milk bottles, grape juice and other delicious non-intoxicating beverages which are found on sale at first-class soda fountains. In addition Dr. Smith has the only electric carbonater in the city where his operators manufacture their own soda water making it absolutely fresh and sparkling at all times. The whole massive structure is brilliantly lighted and magnificent domed lights are suspended from the ceiling giving a most beautiful effect to the entire establishment. Large unobscured plate glass windows give a and luxurious appearance to the entire surroundings. Dr. Smith had installed some two years ago beautiful plate glass revolving serving tables in his establishment which at that time were the finest and latest thing in drug store soda service; these still remain, but in addition to meet his increased trade Dr. Smith has had built several mahogany and glass booths with beautifully upholstered leather settees and the latest thing in serving tables with brilliant plate glass mirrored tops something not ore of Dr. Theodore Smith at 18th Missouri. Dr. Smith is seem standing brilliant view to the interior and compels every member of the race who passes by to feel proud of this splendid establishment. Dr. Smith has been ably assisted during the past five years by Dr. M. L. Flinn, one of the most courteous and most popular numbers of our race group you could hope to come in contact with while Dr. Smith's courteous and affable disposition makes for his establishment a permanent and constantly increasing patronage. In spite of his arduous business activity Dr. Smith finds time for social and civic engagements and is noted for his very liberal contribution to public institutions of merit. It is a custom with him at Easter time to send a generous check to all deserving churches in the city and it is seldom a destitute member of the race appeals to him that his needs are not immediately relieved. For two years Dr. Smith maintained a Free Clinic at 1300 East 18th street, employing two physicians, filled all prescriptions written by them at absolute cost and paid the entire expense for the maintenance of this worthy institution out of his own pocket. And in a social way he has entertained many of the most prominent and exclusive clubs and social organizations at his own expense and is rated as a Chesterfield by those who know him personally. In Dr. Smith's spacious stockrooms adjoining his drug store is a variety of drugs, supplies, et cetera, making it one of the most complete reserve stocks owned by the race anywhere. And to epitomize everything to be found and expected in afirst class complete and up to date drug store can be found at Dr. Smith's. And it is quite a common thing when asked where certain drugs, periodicals, race papers, household necessities and so forth can be purchased, that invariably the answer is, "If you can't find it at so and so's, you can certainly find it at Dr. Smith's." Six years ago at Christmas time, just before Dr. Smith was leaving for Boston, his former home, to visit friends and relatives, The Sun asked him for an editorial expression that would be helpful to the struggling men and women of our racial group who were trying to succeed in business, and he gave us this brilliant and inspiring contribution which holds just as good today as it did when he penned it six years ago: "For more than a quarter of a century the white man contended that the Negroes were incapable of taking in the higher education. Such contentions must have been based on prejudice, because the Negro has not only measured arms with him in the present knowledge, but in many instances has outdistanced him. The American Negro has invaded almost every field known to human endeavor, such as art, science, literature, industrialism, commercialism, etc., and with all of his achievements the white man has failed to give him consideration. And I believe this is largely due to his economic weakness. Were we a factor in the business and the financial world we would be in a position to force recognition and respect. No race of people can expect to be morally strong that is economically weak. The Negro women have done remarkably well when you consider they have no protection from their own race, and the white man looks upon them as his legitimate prey. The Negro women should demand more of their men. The young girls should get behind their sweethearts and the Negro women should get behind their husbands, and rout them out of their ten-dollar-a-week jobs and force them to enter into business or callings that will enable them to get better returns and care for them in a better way, which will give them a standing that will not only help them but give a better standing to the Negro race in general. My advice to the Negro is to enter into business now, because I believe it is the keynote to the solution of the so-called race problem and the road that leads to economic power. The white man has taken on a new hobby; he new tells you, "Negroes will not support their business and professional men." This insidious statement is made to frighten and discourage the Negro from entering into business competition with him. The Negroes are entitled to all the business in all of the Negro districts in Kansas City, and the only reason why he does not get it is because he does not go after it. I entered business at 908 East 12th street, ten years ago, with a few old shelves nailed up against the walls, and a gooseneck for a soda mountain, and with a handful of drugs, and today I have the best equipped Negro Drug Store in the United States I was the first Negro to operate a string of three drug stores in the United States Today I have reality holdings in Boston and North Carolina, and unlimited credit and a first-class rating with Bradstreet. My object for giving you this information as to my assets is to prove to you that the white man's statement is untrue regarding the Negroes not patronizing each other. My business is largely composed of Negro patronage. To one who has kept in touch with the wonderful progress and development of Dr. Smith's business, realize that he must have been imbued both with prophecy and a broad vision, because the many things he desired have come to pass; and he owns today, without incumbrance or financial obligation of any character, a plant easily worth in the aggregate forty thousand dollars. The Sum, along with the rest of our loyal racial group in this community, is proud of the wonderful achievements of Dr. Theodore Smith. Carmel Nut Ine Cream at Jeff's. Do You Need Money?

THE HOTEL TO BE FINANCED BY NEGRO CAPITAL AND CONTROLLED AND MANAGED BY NEGRO BRAIN ALL WEEK COMMENCING SUNDAY - DEC. 19TH SPARKS FROM STARKS THE GREAT NEED OF A FIRST CLASS NEGRO HOTEL. Kansas City is urgently in need of a first class Negro Hotel. When strangers come to our City we have very few decent places for them to stop. If we ourselves, desire to live in a first class hotel there is none. When a great convention comes to Kansas City, we are not in a position to properly care for it. Some might say that the Y. M. C. A. will answer the purpose, the "Y" only accommodates men and not women. It is time that we should as a Race provide decent accommodation for our women. We are greatly in need of a large banquet hall and room where the various clubs of the City can meet and entertain. It should also have one or two high-class cafes in connection with it. This hotel should be the center of our industrial and social affairs of the City in the same manner as the great down-town hotels answer that purpose among their people. This hotel would also alleviate many of the unpleasant conditions now existing from the cause of house shortage. SIZE AND COST OF HOTEL TO BE BUILT BY BOOKER WASHINGTON HOTEL SYNDICATE The hotel is to be a modern fire-proof structure with one hundred and fifty rooms. Fifty of which will have private bath. It is to consist of six floors with a beautiful roof garden on top. On the mezzanine floor, a balcony will overlook the lobby with beautiful parlor and rest rooms for its patrons and guest. It shall have a large and spacious Banquet and Ball room which will accommodate from five hundred to a thousand people with parlor and reception rooms in connection with it for the ladies. It is also to have a large and spacious lobby on the ground floor with every modern convenience that is customary in a high class hotel. Many other features too numerous to mention here will be connected with this hotel for the comforts and benefit of the Negro public. The hotel throughout will cost approximately a quarter of a million dollars. 10 shares..... $ 12.50; $ 2.50 down, balance $ 1.00 per month 15 shares..... 18.75; 3.75 down, balance 1.50 per month 20 shares..... 25.00; 5.00 down, balance 2.00 per month 25 shares..... 31.25; 6.25 down, balance 2.50 per month 50 shares..... 62.50; 12.50 down, balance 5.00 per month 75 shares..... 93.75; 18.75 down, balance 7.50 per month 100 shares..... 125.00; 25.00 down, balance 10.00 per month 500 shares..... 626.00; 125.00 down, balance 50.00 per month 1000 shares..... 1250.00; 250.00 down, balance 100.00 per month BOOKER WASHINGTON HOTEL SYNDICATE stock sold in any amount from 10 to 25,000 shares.

We being a young people in business we can not hope to enter at once the school that the larger system offers to those who would win success in this field. It takes years of work and application to develop and perfect most any kind of a system. In reference to our group we showed in a recent article that there were three factors in business among us who had to be trained, they were first, the employer; second, the employee; third, the customer. As this is true you can readily see how that we cannot run business on the larger system scale as we would like to right now. True, we have a few succesful instances, but the rarity is quite noticeable. BUT WE WILL IN THE FUTURE! So many of us complain that "Negroes won't cooperate," and we never stop to think just why. I'll tell you why, I'll be the hero? It is because that cooperation is the last and highest thing in civilization. The Anglo-Saxon, with his centuries of progress has not reached any boastful degree of COOPERATION. Dissension, deceit and antagonism with him is lightly called "competition!" The greatest cooperation among the whites is BOOKER'S STORY THE HOTEL THE GREAT NEED Kansas City is urgently strangers come to our City we we ourselves, desire to live in convention comes to Kansas City Some might say that the Y.

Progress is made by stages, even the divine plan unfolds to us only with out growing receptivity, our awakening consciousness. So in business, we have to take it by stages. First, it is the enterprising individual who hears the call or sees the light, and goes ahead. From the individual we go to the partnership stage; from the partnership stage we form combinations; from combinations we develop into systems on a large scale, and now we are at the door of the co-operative, if we will but enter. Right now we claim that the Negro is largely at the individual stage of the game. But this is no reflection on the race, it will be though, if we remain there too long. Being thus a matter largely of the individual, personal supervision be comes imperatively necessary. May be out of this we will see the happy prospects of developing into some wonderful system of bigness. The real business Negro knows the years it takes to even get fairly started in something pure and legitimate.

NOTE—The following articles was written at the request of some gentleman who desired it for his wife to read before some audience in some church at some time last Sunday. So I wrote the article, using the time Saturday night to write it that should have been devoted to hanging on to my daily pork chops! I stipulated to the gentleman a small fee, for time and paper, and so on, but failed to collect in advance, so here is the article: WOMAN'S DUTY. The subject is at once engaging and brings to us a high realization of the important part woman must all ways play in this human experience of the world. In the beginning God saw fit to create man after his own image and in his own likeness. To the male man he gave a noble strength and a keen judgment that he might shoulder the arduous tasks of life. To woman, the female, he gave first the beautiful preogative of motherhood, and then endowed her with a finer spiritual nature that gives such a wonderful tone to the feminine gender.

PURNELL.....Vice-President B. H. PAYNE... M. E. OLDEN.....Secretary .....Chairman of Board of Directors If this be true, and there is no doubt about it, then woman's duty is first to her God and then to the beautiful character which she embodies. She must always exemplify the power given her to influence the world for good in the sweet beginning, even "when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!" Let her always remember this high conception of original intent on the part of her maker. This thought must filter through her whole existence, inspirin g her to do the right and beautiful thing, proving her protection against all wrong directed against her. In these modern times woman's place is steadily being revealed in the sun of civilization along with her male counterpart. And with this gaining of place comes new and larger duties. Confined for centuries to the prefects of the narrow household as a slave, she has been gradually emancipated from this to a larger sphere, and is now found largely i the business and economic world. As a crowning jewel to her long suffering effort for freedom, she, only this year, has had the climax of a glorious suffrage conferred upon her by the laws of the country. This not only broadens the horizon of her world, but makes her the rightful equal of man who has governed her since the world has stood, without her consent. So this being the case, woman must study hard how best to play this new role and still meet eevry old and new duty that is imposed upon her. She must still improve her domestic relations, learn more of economics study social science, seek a higher culture and become more intelligent of the immediate things political of which she is surrounded.

The Syndicate expects to begin the erection of this Hotel in the Spring. Arrangements are being worked out with the architect to rush completion of the plans. THE "HIGHER CLASS" NEGRO. A fellow sold out a restaurant the other day to another party. The place as he had conducted it was on a "high class" basis. When he started the place it went big, but only for a brief spell. The novelty being essentially ephemeral soon ceased to allure an appreciable number of customers. But notwithstanding that the service of the place was kept up to the standard, the trade went down and the light of the business went out—once more some one had failed. This is not necessarily a tragedy, perhaps just ap rosy incident in the course of business life, which is largely up and down, round and round. A fellow asked me sometime ago: "Starks, what's the matter with that place?. It's a nice place, although the prices are high, they give you the service. I can't see why it's not a big go, can you?" "My friend." said I those people are catering to a class that does not exist—the high grade Negro who will stick on a business proposition from the standpoint of supporting it does not exist in this burg. There are oodles of high grade Negroes all right, but they are not classified, hence any business catering strictly to this imaginary something has the seeds of failure in its incipiency, the growth of which soon overshadows the weak struggle for success." O ye who enter business, better learn how to cater to and serve the public! Nothing to this old class business, you'll starve to death thinking about it! Get close to the ordinary people if you can. Do this, and you will soon be in a position, if you cared to, to tell the supposedly higher class" Negro, but who is often merely highly superficial, to go to H—on the lower register.

We all should learn to look up, but above all we should be honest and sincere about it. There are too many posers.
