Johnson to the Grand Lodge in a few select words, to which the D. G. M., reassounded and in a masterly way introduced the G.M., who delivered for the first time his Annual Address to the U. B. F. We must confess that it was a gem and it was delivered in a most pleasing manner and when I say that 250 delegates were held spell-bound for 25 minutes listening to this young son of thunder tell of the bright out look of the Order. And we will give you his address in details as fell from his lips. Now read 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:— My Dear Brothers and Sisters, it is indeed a pleasure to report to you what has been accomplished during the past year. Although we have passed through a hard winter, and the financial market has been more stringent than in any year in the history of the G. L. and G. T., we have made greater progress than other organizations of life nature, and we have eclipsed our own previous record. And this has not been brought about by any one influence, but by the hearty cooperation of the G. L. and G. T. Officers and Denuties and the individual membership as a whole; and for this we most profoundly thank all of you. Department of Organization On assuming office we found that order to develop the order properly, it would be necessary to perfect Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage—Give Them a Trial. an effective organization so that the whole field might be thoroughly canvassed. To that end we commissioned a number of deputies, giving to them specific instructions to do their best for the order. They have been obedient children, having gone to work with a will and a determination to place a lodge or temple in every town and hamlet where there could be found enough tumber with which to do it; and we are pleased to report to you the institution and re-instatement of the following lodges, temples and juveniles; Queen City Lodge, Parsons; Sunlight Lodge, Coffeyville; Hills Dale Lodge, Hills Dale, Kansas; Fannie Rucker Temple, Paola, Kansas; Prim Rose Temple, Falls Dale, Kansas; Iola Temple, Iola Kans.; Juveniles at Pittsburg, Mulberry and Wichita, Kansas. Past Masters' Council No. 1. Kansas City, and Past Masters' Council No. 2. Wichita, Kansas. Royal House. Olathe Kansas. Truly our first year, taking in consideration 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 retropruded. 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 deserving special mention are Bro. Paul Mack, Crowburg, and Sister Fannie Johnson Rucker of Paola. Endowment Department While we have made splendid progress in extending our order into new fields, we have made a splendid increase in our endowment funds, although we have had many deaths and an annual expenditure of money in connection therewith. To date we have paid out in death claims more than $4,984.00. We have on hand, in bank. $8046.50, for which a certified check is herewith exhibited; plus U.-S., War Bonds and War Stamps. $1200.00. Total cash, $9,460.50. 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 complications. However, there was 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 matter in detail in his report. I am in touch with all parts of the jurisdiction, either personally or through our deputies, and I can say that peace and harmony prevail. Many old sores that had been a menace to the craft have been healed during the year and the Lodges and Temples are working in good condition. Wherever we find sore spots it is individuals 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 consideration of the work affecting the welfare of thousands of living beings and give an hour to our recollection of our departed Bros. and Sisters, and pay tribute to their work and worth in our sad memory of their demise. Many familiar faces which we were to meet here are absent today, throughout the jurisdiction the death list has been larger than we anticipated. While working in the various departments of life our members have been made to lay aside their working tools and have been summoned to report and receive their reward for the good deeds done in the body. The Committee on Obituaries will prepare and arrange for suitable services, and designate the time when we shall rest from our labors to show respect to our departed. Recommendations We recommend that part of the law on page 10. Article 5, Section 3; which reads—"The sum of Seventy-five Cents ($0.75) shall be paid by each member of the lodge or temple within thirty days from the beginning of the quarter e." be changed to read—"One Dollar ($1.00;) and, that we insert One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00) in Section 6 on page 11, in lieu of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00.) We recommend the repeal of that section which assesses us 25 Cents yearly for emergency funds. We have visited the following places officially: Coffewille, Parsons, Chetopa, Oswego, Wichita, Kansas City, Atchison, Topeka, Manhattan, Leavenworth, Orange City, Wheat and Bonner Springs, and we were royally received in every place, for which we thank you. This ends our first year's work. It has been hard and strenuous, and in order to keep up our membership and make the progress we should, it has been necessary to keep steadily at my desk in order that the membership might be kept thoroughly inspired. But with all this it has been greatly enjoyed. We have done the best we could and we leaven the verdict with you. The mantle of Grand Master given us a year ago is hereby returned and we stand before you today with pricking of conscience for falling-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 every act done or deed committed 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, duty and justice. With personal confidence in the continued cooperation and support of this representative body and the host of our membership throughout the jurisdiction, I remain. At the close of the above 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 Committee on G. M. Address, and that the rules be suspended and that Dr. F. O. Miller be re-elected by acclamation for another year, which motion prevailed. Now, the facts as stated in the address are true and the order is making higher ground and is destined to be the "Real Secret Order" among colored men in this state. At 3:00 p. m., the Worthy Grand Master called a joint session of the U. B. F., and S. M. T., where he again delivered this same address, and after he was through it looks to me like everybody was on their feet at the same time, saying—"D. G. M." and after some few moments of applause another motion prevailed to re-elect the Worthy Grand Master by acclamation. I see no reason why the order should not succeed, for Dr. Miller believes in doing things. From the reports of the various committees, 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 morning Rev. H. W. Jamison, the National Grand Master of the Order was for the 2first time in the history of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., of Kansas, a guest of the Grand Lodge of Kansas and delivered two very brilliant addresses, full of good and wholesome advice. We only wish we had a thousand more Jamisons and Millers. We wish we had been a short hand writer, we would have had every word Dr. Jamison said, for we feel it would do you good, he is a real race man from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head, God speed you "Jim" on your way, and if we can do you any good, "old boy" at Next National Grand Lodge, just call on Kansas and we are with you. We could not give you the list of new officers until we say something the Grand Temple. What has been said about the G. Lodge applies to the G. Temple. We tell you, Sister Sarah Parks, the Grand Worthy Princess is a bright little woman, and the same good things said about the Grand Master was said about, and to her. She has the confidence of all the Sisters and things are looking good to me in her department. The Grand Lodge and Grand Temple adjourned to meet in Wichita. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year; Dr. Frank O'Hara Miller, G. M. Wichita, Ks. Hon. L. W. Johnson, D. G. M., K. C. K. Editor W. A. Bettis, G. Sec., Wichita Mr. P. C.

Fisk Jubilee Singers Will Sing At International Wheat Show Among the scenes to be presented in the Historical Pageant at the Forum, October 4, 5, and 6, commemoration of Wichita's Fiftieth Anniversary is one of a slave market on the Mississippi. This scene is one of the most beautiful of the series from a scenic standpoint, and embodies 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 famous colored Fisk Jubilee Singers, of Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee. 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 Exposition management considers itself fortunate in being able to book this unique attraction. Opinion is practically unanimous that the songs of the slaves in the United States laid the foundation for the most entrancing music of our day—the Jubilee Songs or Plantation Melodies, as they are often called. Everywhere the Fisk Jubilee Singers appear there is the testimony that they sing these songs with a beauty of interpretation that reaches 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 utilize the rare opportunity of hearing them at the International Wheat Show, October 4 to 16. The fact that for a decade preceding the civil war Kansas was the scene of many fierce conflicts hinging upon the question of whether or not she should enter the Union as a Slave State or a Free State links up this Slave Market scene as a very appropriate one mong the series of historic scenes of the Pageant. New Negro With New Resolutions By The Negro Associated Press Jackson, Ms., Sept. 17.—The Mississippi division of the American Legion, in its annual session here, recently adopted a resolution for justice that has startled the natives. Many old timers are rubbing their eyes to see if they have "seen through a glass darkly," and the younger generation, particularly the soldier boys who saw service in France, are pointing to the expression with pride, saving: "This is the new voice of the South speaking in denunciation of the old regime." The resolution reads: "We regard the so-called Negro problem in Mississippi, and the South generally, as an actual condition and not a mere theory discussion, agitation and settlement by demagogues and politicians; that we realize the Negro is with us, a part of us, and is here to stay; that he is an important and indispensable factor in our industrial life, and as such is entitled to a square deal, and should be treated with common honesty in all his relations with the white race; that we urge all local posts in this jurisdiction to give this subject close attention and put forth their best efforts for the promotion of harmony between the races, in order that our common welfare may be served." Commenting on the resolution editorially, the New Orleans, La. item, one of the leading daily newspapers, says: "Jajississi is one of the South's states which has suffered most acutely from crimes of violence against Colored people, at the hands of lawless and ignorant mobs, not only in reputation among their sister states, but economically in loss of population and labor.

Thousands Swallowed The Message; The Digest Will Save This Country At 8:55 a.m., the Frisco brought into our city one of the most progressive Attorneys and citizens of this country, who is proud of his country and we are proud of him. The Lawyers of the city met him at the train and took him in charge for breakfast at the famous White Way Cafe, the most unique place in the city for accommodation. With Attorney Martin chairman of the committee, the following were present: Attorneys Jas. A. Spears, Fred C. Helm, Claude L. Jones. His rest period was spent at Attorney Martin's beautiful home on Indiana Ave., Mrs. Martin never knows when she has done enough for her husband's guests. At 4:15, the White Way Cafe was at its best and a swell banquet was the jolly scene of the hour, with Dr. G. G. Brown, Dr. P. M. Bell, Atty. Jas. A. Spears, Wm. S. Johnson, Rev. R. T. Henderson, Rev. E. T. Fishback, Rev. S. B. Butler, Rev. E. P. Geiger, Atty. Claude L. Jones, Atty. Freeman L. Martin, H. T. Sims, J. R. Johnston, R. H. Taylor, Prof. F. C.

Bell's car toured the city, while this was being done the Rucker's Concert Band, young, but rendering first class music was entertaining down town in front of both daily offices. Their music was so fascinating until the Hamilton Hotel gave them a special invitation to play for them. They also played for the Lassen Hotel; these are the finest and most successful hotels of the city. Promptly at 8.00 p. m., Atty. Martin opened the meeting from a platform, built on the Westside of the Court House, filling the occasion with rep, then introduced Dr. G. G. Brown, who in well chosen words and in the wisdom of only a Dr. Brown could have done, introduced Atty. Geo. L. Vaughn. The speaker of the hour complimented the occasion, hospitalitics and the great city, Wichita, and state of Kansas. ty ill every state.

Hatred, prejudice, violence and dishonesty are marks of inferiority.

By The Negro Associated Press Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 17 -Spurred to action by the Criminal negligence of the Sheriff of Oaklahoma County, a delegation of Negroes called on Governor Robertson and demanded that he oust Sheriff Johnson from his office. The spokesman for the committee were; Dr. A. Baxter Whitby and Editor Roscoe Dunjee. Damaging evidence submitted to the Governor alleging to show connivance of the officers in the crime. The Governor Price: 5c 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 asked 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, the 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 justice and fair play and proved that over 500 Americans had been killed in Mexico and nothing done, the most blood lost in the defense 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 American Marines than the natives were doing. The discrimination that started in the White House by the Wilson Administration has gone throughout the Wichita, 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 under white officers. He declared if the whiteman doesn't give the Negro a chance in this country, that are long anarchy and bolshevikism will master the situation and sweep the country into oblivion. He said no man had to vote for the Republican 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 on "lynching becoming a federal crime" and other things that are vital to true Americanism. In closing, he asked for a Republican Senate and Congress for Harding and Coolidge, that we might save this great Republic. His closing remarks consisted of a prayer that involved all persons, put all on equal footing. Applause and announcements ended the great Republican Rally and Emancipation Program. was visibly impressed and stated that he was willing to break the state Treasury in an attempt to bring the criminals to justice. Those in the delegation together with the speakers were W. T. Tucker, Dr. W., E. Foster, Rev. E. W. Perry, Atty. Henry Hawking, W. A. Hill, J. M. Anderson, Dr. S. C. Snelson, Prof. S. R. Youngblood. Governor Robertson and Adjutant General Barrett stated that he held a machine gun company in readiness to act for the state in the event of any further disorders. In his letter to the Attorney General asking that he immediately investigate the reprehensible conduct of the Sheriff, Governor Robertson said in part, "You cannot move too quickly; all persons engaged in the two lynchings are guilty parties are." The Governor to the delegation of Colored men and to the Attorney General stated that he believes that the Sheriff and the jailer was in collusion with the mob. He further stated that if he had the power, he felt warranted in removing them without the investigation of the Attorney General. A man in a chair OCT A MOVE ON YOU A SUIT OR A EVR .Set Your Price.

MAIN STREET Women Want Civic Improvements By The Negro Associated Press Nashville, Tenn., Sept 17—A large delegation of Negro women, who have been here attending a convention of the Mosaic Temple of America, visited the state capitol and asked the privilege of the authorities to occupy the house of representatives for a few minutes to hear an adress by Dr. J. L. Leach, a local physician, on the subject of "Our Duty as Citizens and Voters." The request was granted and Dr. Leach talked for ten minutes on the subject selected for him. He said a great political campaign was on in the county and he felt it was his duty to say a few words to the Negroes, especially to the Negro women; as to their duty. He warned them to ignore parties and vote their convictions. He said here in Tennessee it was the duty of the Negroes to support Gov. Roberts, because of his stand for law and order. He said the true friends of the Negro race were the Southern white people. "I would rather vote for a straight Democratic than to vote for a crooked Republican," he declared, "and I believe this is the sentiment of the Negroes all over the country. Put your influence on the side of law and order. Gov. Roberts stands for that idea and his stand is your stand. He believes in giving all classes a fair deal. I is to the interest of the Negroes that mob law be suppressed in this country. North and South. We do not want to see a criminal go unpunished, but we do want that punishment imposed by law and in an orderly and decent way."

Worth, Tex., Sept. 17- In an effort to save the Indian race from further intermingling of Negro blood, C. B. Trailer of Hominy, Okla, son of the chief of the Osage tribe, will ask Governor Hoppy to present to the next Texas legislature a bill preventing the intermarriage of Indians and Negroes. Through his efforts Oklahoma already has such a law and a similar was recently passed in Louisiana. He believes that its imperative that Texas enact the same legislation. The Osage tribes is the wealthiest in the Unites States and one of the most advanced. Its lands are rich with oil and its per capita wealth in the hands of the Government mounts into the millions of dollars.

Thomas Newsome, colored lawyer, and member of the Colored Republican organization in this city, stated that thus far the organization has taken no steps to line up Colored women voters in the coming election. "There seem to be a little interest in it among the Colored Women." he said. "And whatever happens, it will not change the result from what it would have been if the amendment had not been passed."
