Now rend for yourselves just what was said and you will know for yourself, ADDRESS OF GRAND MASTER To the Grand Lodge of U. B. F. and S. M. T.. of Kansas Jurisdiction, GREETINGS:— BMy Dear Brothers and Sisters, It is indeed = pleasure to report ta you what has been accomplished during the past year, Althourh we have passed through P bord winter, and the financial marke et has been more stringent than in anv year in the history of the GL. and G_T., we have made greater prorress than other organizations of "ye nature, and we have eclipsed our own previous record. And this has not been brought about by eny one infuence, but by the hearty cooper- ation of the G.-L. and G. T., Offi. cera and Devutles and the individ. rel membership as a whole: and’ for ws we most profoundly thank all of you, Department of Organization On assuming office we found that {= order to develop the order proper ly, it would be necessary to perfect an effective organization so that the whole field might be Cherouehly can- vassed, To that end we commission- el] a number of deputies, giving to them specific Instructions to do their best for the order. "They have been cbedient children, having gone to work with a will and a determina- tion to place a lodge or temple ir avery town and hamlet where there could be found enough tmber with which to do it; and we are pleased to report to you the institution and re-instatement of the following lodg- es, temple and fuveniles: Queen City Lodge, Paraons; Sun- Night Lodge, Coffeyville; Hills Dale Lodge, Hills Dale, Kansas; Fannie Rucker Temple, Paola, Kansas; Prim Rose sony le, Falls Dale, Kansas; Tola ‘Temple, Iola Kans.; Juveniles at Pittsburg, Mulberry and Wichita, Kansas. Past Masters’ Council No. 1! Kenses City, and Past Masters’ Councit Ne. 2, Wichita, Kansas. Roxal House, Olathe Kansas, Truly our first year, taking In con- nideration the financial stringency, has been the banner year for the U. B. F., and S, M, T., in Kansas ‘We have made material progress while other organizations have retro- praded. Indeed, we have done well if we had only held our own, but we have added more than Five Hundred members in a state which has such a small Negro population, ‘We wish to publicly thank our faithful deputies for their good work, without which we could not boast of such phenomenal growth, Those de- erv}g special mention are Bro. Paul Mack, Crowburg, and Sister Fannie Johnson Rucker of Paola. Endowment Department While we have made splendid Pres gress in extending our order into new fields, we have made a splendid increase in our endowment fundy although we have had many deaths andanannual expenditure of money In connection therewith. To date we have paid out in death claima more than $4,98400, We have on hand, in bank. $804650, for which a cer- t.fied check isvherewith exhibited; pes 8 0 Bons and Wer MPs, 00.» To cash, $9,460.50. By 2 Law-Gulla = We are pleased to report to you that with the able assistance of the Grand Attorney, Hon. ‘James H. Guy, we have been able so far to prevent any legal comrliczt‘ons. However, there wes one suit filed against us under the former administration and judgment given against the order, but as soon as we were elected to office of Grand Master we directed our Grand Attorney to see what could be done. The matter was taken up with the court by him, a new trial was granted, and we won the case with hands down. The Grand Attorney will report the mat- ter in detail in his report, State of the Order Tam in touch with all parts of the jurisdiction, either personally oF through our deputies, and I can sa} that peace and harmony prevail Many old sores that had been a men- ace to the craft have becn healed luring the year and the Lodges and Temples are working in good con- ditin, Wherever we find sore spots it is individuats and not the lodge or temple as a whole, Amid the pleasures that come to us at this time in being permitted to assemble once*more, there comes a note of sadness and we pause in our consideraticn’ of the work af- fecting the welfare of thousands of living beings and give an hour to our recollection of our departed Bros. and Sisters, and Rey, tribute to thelr work and worth in our sad memory of thelr demise, Many familiar facea which we were to meet here are absent today, throughout the jurisdiction the death jist has been larger than we anti- sipated. While working In the va. lous departments of life our mem- bers have been ‘nade to lay aside their working tools and have been summoned to report and receive their reward for the good deeds done in he body. The Committee on Obit- aries will prepare and arrange for uitable services, and designate the ime when we shall reat from our abore to show respect to our’de- parted, | Recommendations We recommend that part of the aw on page 10. Article 5, Seetion 3; which ireads—“The sum of Seven- y-five Cents ($0.75) shall be paid by rach member of the lodge or temple within thirty days from the beginning »f the quarter e.” be changed to read —“One Dollar ($1.00;) and, that we insert One Hundred and Fifty Dol- ars ($15000) in Section 6 on page 1, in Hew of One Hundred Dollars $100.00.) We recommend the repeal of that ection which sesesses us 25 Cents yearly for emergency funds, Visits Coffevville, Parsons, Chetopa, Os- wego, Wichita, Kansas City, Atcht- son, Topeka. Manhattan, Leaven- worth, Osage city, tlathe and Bons ner Springs, and we were royally re- ceived id every place, for which we thank you. This ends our first year’s work, It has been hard and atren- ous, and in order to keep up our mem~ Lership and make the progress we should, it has been necessary to keep steadily at my desk in order that the meriberahip might be kent thor- oughly inspired. But with all this it has been greatly entoyed. We have done the best we could and we levae the verdict with you. The mantle of Grand Master given us a year ago is hereby returned and we stand be- fore you today with pricking of con- acience for failing-to do our duty; and we are therefore looking to the future with pleasure and backward without regret. With a grateful heart for the confidence you reposed in us and a full appreciation of the signal honor thus conferred, I thank you each and all. We assure you that were act done or deed commit- ted has been as I saw it for the good of the order and its general cause; for the benefit of our members individually and collectively, and the betterment of humanity generally. I pray for but one course to pursue, That of right, daty and. Justice. With personal confidence in the con- tinued cooperation and support of this representative body and the host of our membership throughout the jurisdiction, I. remain, Yours very fraternally, Dr. Frank O'Hara Miller, Grand Master. | At the close of the sbove address adozen men were on the floor and finally the D. G, M., recognized Rev. J. R. Ransom, D. D., who moved that the address be given to the Commit- tee on G. M, Address, and that the rules be suspended and that Dr. F. 'O, Biller be re-elected by acclama- tion for another year, which motion prevailed. . Now, the facts as stated in the address are true and the order is making higher ground and fs destined to be the “Real Secret Order” among | colored ren in this state. , At 3:00 p,m, the Worthy Grand Master called a joint session of the U. B. F., and 8. M. T., where he egain delivered this same address, and after he was through ft looks to me hke everybody was on their feet at the some time ,saying—“D, G, M.,.” and jafter some few momenta of applause another motion prevailed to re-elect the Worthy Grand Master bv accla- mation. I see no reason why the order should not succeed, for Dr. Maller believes in doing things. From the reports of the various committecs, the order {is a most prosperous condition, more than 15 Thousand Dollars passed through the hands of the Grand Lodge, since we last met. And the funds on hand are as stated in the Grand Master's Address, + On Thursday n.orning Rev. H. W. Jamison. tre National Grand Master of the Order was for the2firet time in te history of the U. B.

Fisk Jubilee Singers _ Will Sing At Inter- — national Wheat Show Among the scenes to be presented In the Historical Pageant at the Fo- rum, October 4,5, and 6, commemmo- ration of Wichita’s Fiftieth Anni- versaty is one of a slave market on the Mississipp!. This scene {s one of the most beautiful of the series from a scenic standpoint, and em- bodies all the glamor and pathos of the ante-bellum days In the South. One of the principal features ‘of this scene,making It realistic In the extreme, is the appearance of the fa- mous colored Fisk Jubilee Singers, of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. This Quintet of Negro singers have toured the country a number of times for the benefit of Fisk University, and wherever they have appeared are immensely popular. The Expo- tition managément considers itself fortunate in being able to book this unique attraction. Opinion. is practically unanimous that the sorgs of the slaves in the United States Iaid the foundation for the most entrancing music of our day—the Jubilee Songs or Plan- tation Melodies, as they are often called, Everywhere the Fisk Jubilee Singers appear there is the testimony that they sing these songs with a Deauty of interpretation that reach- es the heart and enchants the hearers. At Fisk University the first steps were taken to preserve these songs from loss. No one in Kansas should fail to utilze the rare opportunity of hearing them at the International Wheat Show, October 4 to 16. , The fact that for a decade pre- ceding the civil war Kansas was the scene of many fierce conflicts hing- ing upon the question of whether or not she should enter the Union as a Slave Stante or a Free State links up this Slave Market scene as a very appropriate oxe mong the se- ries of historic scenes of the Pageant.

Raxter Whitby and Editor Roscoe Dunjee, Wamaging esidence submitted to the Governor alleging to rhow connivance of the ¢filcers in the crime, The Governor lives of such men as John Brown, Engles, and Gov. Allen. He had us to know that the race all over the country loves these great spirits. He enumerated the noble deeds of the Negro from Crispus Attuck to the last great and noble deed. He ask- ‘ed no special favors that other races of the country were getting without merit, but only asked for what the Negro had justly merited, | He said that during the last war, ithe Negro’s worst enemy was not the German in front of him, but it was the Southern white officer and the Democratic administration. He threw Mexico and Hayti on the scale for juatice and fair play and proved that over 500 Americans had been killed in Mexico and nothing done, the most blood lost in the de- fense of these crimes, was the death of the black soldiers, but the Wilson Administration has a Texas modern slave-holder in Hayti enslaving the natives of the republic at the point ‘of the bavonet and there is more killing going on now by the Ameri- can Marines than the natives were doing, The discrimination that started in the White House by the Wilson Admjnistration has gone throughout the country, to even on street cars in Wichita, the Negro is looked on as if he were possessed with leprosy. He gave three reasons that made him a republican, which the Democrats never tried to do. He said the Negro will never fight un- der white officers, He declared if the whiteman doesn’t give the Ne- gro a chance in this co vtry, that ere long anarchy and bolshevikism will master the situation and sweep the country into oblivion. He said no man had to vote for the Republl- can Party, but it was a shame for any Negro to vote for the Democrats this time with the promises of Harding and Coolidge, and if you must vote for a Democrat, find out how he will vote om “lynching be- coming a federal crime” and other things that are vital to true Ameri- canism, In closing, hetasked for a Republican Senate and Congress for Harding and Coolidge, that we might enve this great Republic. His closing remarks consisted of a pray- er that envolved all persons, put all on equal footing. Applause and an- nouncements ended the great Re- publican Rally and Emancipation Program, .
