MAKE FAVORABLE IMPRESSION Governor Allen An Interested Guest. Reports Show Order in Excellent Condition. Green Again Heads Organization. (By Chas. Stewart) (For The Associated Negro Press) TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 1.—Having conquered the East, the Knights of Pythias turned their attention to the West, and closed the twenty-first bimial convention of the order in Topeka with the West helplessly in their hands. To complete the story as one of union as well as action every officer as re-elected by acclamation, from S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, down the line. Gov. Henry J Allen, the great governor of Kansas, stayed with the Pythians all the way. He welcomed them to the state, spent the day in John E. Lewis camp on Governor's Day and occupied the center of the stage in the reviewing stand on Friday when the parade tore all records to pieces. "I have got better ground to stand on," said Governor Allen, to whom the pursued Negro has never appealled for mercy in vain. In the legislative sessions of the great Negro fraternity the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was revoked by an almost unanimous vote. New York was chosen as the convention city for 1923, and the Supreme Chancellor was instructed to inquire into the returns of the grand domains so that hereafter the figure will stand up to each other face to face. Toneka, capital of Kansas, found itself overrun for the first time. The entire population took a holiday during the Pythian siege. Thousands came from every direction. The presence of the Pythians, their conduct, their looks, their deportment in convention, made countless friends for the race in these parts, and backed the Ku Klux Klan to the wall. The supreme lodge elected the following officers: S. W. Green of New Orleans was re-elected supreme chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Ernest G. Tidrington of Evansville, Ind., was re-elected vice-supreme chancellor and head of the Supreme Court of Calanthe. Both are recognized leaders among the Negro in America. Green has been suprem chancellor for the past fourteen years, and his election was unanimous. The officers elected by the supreme lodge are: N. C. Nic, South Carolina, supreme prelate; Roscoe, C Simmons, Kentucky, supreme lecturer; E. E. Underwood, Kentucky, supreme keeper of records and seals; John H. Young, Arkansas, supreme master of exchequer; S. A. T. Watkins, Illinois, supreme attorney; Geo. Watty, Maryland, supreme master-at-arms; U. G. Mason, M. D., Alabama, supreme medical registrar; R. R. Jackson, Chicago, Ill., major general; John A. Blume, North Carolina, supreme inner guard. Henry James, Florida, supreme outer guard. C. M. Wade M. D., Arkansas; John W. Harris, Mississippi; G. R. Hutton, Georgia; B. G. Collier, Pennsylvania; J. H. Fordham, South Carolina; W. W. Andrews, Florida; Chas. V. Wickham M. D., Oklahoma; E. D. Green, secretary, Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Commission. Every representative was present at 9:30 o'clock Thursday and the first thing in order was the report of E. D. Green of Chicago, secretary of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium and the Temple Commission, which is supported by the supreme lodge. Green has held some prominent positions in Illinois, and was at one time member of the general assembly from Chicago. He has perhaps handled more money belonging to the Negroes of this country than any other official. The report made showed that the collections during the past two years had been $95,594.57, and the expenditures had been $29,768.71. The department operates a bath and sanitarium in Hot Springs for the benefit of the members of the order and all other members of the Negro Race. It is the only bath house opened to the Negroes in Hot Springs. They are planning for the erection of a Pythian Temple in Chicago at a cost of $250,000.

BOMB BANKER BINGA'S RESIDENCE ONCE MORE Seventh Attempt in Two Years To Destroy Beautiful South Side Home (By the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 1.—For the seventh time in less than two years, on last Thursday night, the $30,000 dwelling in the Englewood residential district, owned by Jesse Binga, the banker, was bombed. Two men in a large automobile were seen to speed north, a woman's voice cried, "Look out!" and then the roar of the explosion sounded. As usual, the pillars of the front porch were blown out of place and scores of window panes in the neighborhood were shattered. Binga and his family were out of the city and the only one in the house was a maid who locked herself in and refused to open the door. The last time the home was bombed was last November. Previously, explosives had been hurled at the residence no less than five times in six months. The enmity of a number of white persons against Binga because he had sold property in "white" districts to colored persons is thought to be responsible for the bombing. GRAND JURY ORDERED TO INVESTIGATE KLUXIES SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 1—Presenting the city ordinance and State statutes covering the activities of masked and secret bands, Judge W. W. Walling, special judge of the Forty-fifth District court, Monday morning charged the members of the grand jury assembled for a special session that they should investigate the activity of the Ku Klux Klan and trace its work to the source.

Rockefeller, when he dies, will show less than $500,000,000, according to a statement made here last Monday by Henry H. Klein, deputy commissioner of accounts for New York.

Rockefeller, Jr., not his father, is the richest man in the United States." CONFEDERATE VETERANS EVIDENTLY OVERLOOKED MONTGOMERY, Ala..

THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS IS BUSY Representatives of African Descens From Various Parts Of The World Seriously Consider Common Problems. DEMANDING RACIAL EQUALITY Doctrine of Inherent Inferiority Based On Color Erroneous And Limits Development. LONDON, Eng., Aug. 30.—The Pan-African Congress which is a serious and successful attempt to bring together in conference representative leaders of the various groups of people of African descent throughout the world, with their white friends, to consider the color problem of the world and work out a practical program, opened its sessions here August 28. Representatives were present from the United States, notably Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, secretary; and Walter F. White; the West Indies; South, Central and West Africa; and South and Central America. At its session on Monday the Congress issued a clear-cut, well-written manifesto expressing its views upon the foundation upon which advancement can alone be adequately made. The manifesto demands absolute race equality, physical, political and social. No advancement can be made or will justice be accorded the colored groups where the doctrine of inherent racial inferiority on the sole ground of color obtains. The congress holds session in Brussels, August 31 to September 3 and in Paris September 4 and 5. ROLAND HAYES X LONDON London is wild about Roland Haves colored tenor, from America, according to a news article published in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN. If this is the case, a solution has been found for the worthy artists who cannot find recognition in America because of their color. Mr. Hayes has been a finished artist for the past ten years. But his ability won scant recognition from the press or from the big musical managers. New York Phonograph companies refused to record his singing of operetic selections and compelled him to confine his attentions solely to Negro folk songs. So much for America. Last year Mr. Hayes decided to go abroad, stopping in London a short while before a three months' tour of Africa to study the origin of Negro melodies. In England, Mr. Hayes' success was immediate, and today after a year of performances in English theatres and concert halls, he has more engagements than he can fill. King George asked him to sing twice at Buckingham Palace and presented the singer with a diamond pin. Mme. Nellie Melba and Fritz Kreisler, the violinist, took no notice of Mr. Hayes in New York but in London invited him to dinner, and the Phonograph companies have had him sing all kinds of songs for recording purposes. London's brilliant reception to this black singers suggests the fact that Paris and Madrid would probably be just as cordial as the English capital, and that it might prove highly profitable to employ a manager and plan a second and third European tour to take place during the next year.

Serving life sentence for murder on the chain gang, Nesbit escaped yesterday. A blood-hound was esto n his trail. The Negro waited until the bloodhound caught up, when he died the animal to a tree and continued his flight. He was captured later however. Bloodhounds in real life are not as ferocious as in "Unce Tom's Cabin." Dog experts know that they seldom bite and are of value only for their powers of scent. Mr. and Mrs. F. C.

WOMEN'S CONVENTION A DECIDED SUCCESS First Session of Negro Women's National Republican League Brings Many Notable Personages KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 1.—The first session of the Negro Women's National Republican League met in Kansas City August 22 to 27 and held its sessions in the St. Stephen's Baptist Church. A large delegation of women were present among whom were: Mrs. Monen L. Gray, of Washington, D. C., Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, O., Dr. Mary F. Waring of Chicago, Mrs. Ida P. Liston of Indiana, Mrs. Ida A. Walker of St. Joseph, Mo., Mable Mable Chinn Fallings of Denver, Colo.; Mrs. H. L. Prince of St. Joseph, Mo. A number of men were seen scattered throughout the Convention and many made brief remarks. On Monday, August 22 the address of welcome was delivered by Hon. Henry M. Beardsley, Ex-Mayor of Kansas City, Mo. His remarks were very encouraging to women and at the close of his address, he presented the League with a check for $100.00 as evidence of his faith in their existence. The response to Mr. Beardsley was made by Miss E. C. Jackson. Brief talks were made by Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Ohio; Prof. J. Silas Harris; Mrs. Ida Liston of Indiana; Dr. E. C. Bunch, Rev. J. W. Hurse, Prof. J. R. Lee, Attorney L. A. Knox, Mr. G. A. Page, Mr. Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City, Mo. Resolutions were adopted urging Negro women to cooperate in politics; to raise the standard of education and training of our youth, and commending Governor Hyde for raising the standard of Lincoln Institute to Lincoln University; also denouncing the Ku Klux Klan. The League sent letters of protest against that society to the Mayor of Kansas City and the Governor of Missouri. The address delivered by the President Mrs. Monen L. Gray, was a masterpiece, full of inspiration and encouragement to the women of this League. Among the many timely things which she had to say were: "The time will come when history will give the Negro woman of America her proper place in the building of the Republic. We are proud of the wgmen of our race, who in point of education, refinement, culture, morality, personal attractiveness will compare most favorably with the women of the most enlightened races of the earth. We are proud of the great men of our race—men who have risen to the top in spite of the accident of color." The Cafe formerly owned by W. G. Macon is being operated by The Blue Circle Club. The windows and interior decoration are very attractively arranged. The counter and shelving were made by the club members.

Among the many were Messers Price and Killingsworth of the Alamo Barber Shop; Brown and Carr of Columbia Hall, Golden of The Little Fontenelle, Jorden of The Jorden Cateering Co., and William Carthum of the Midget Hotel and Cafe. It has been thought by some that the club was undertaking quite a large proposition and if the boys are able to successively operate it; there will be a proof that young men can really accomplish something in a business line. The keynote to anything the club starts is organized efforts.

THE CIRCLE CAFE KANSAS CITY MONARCHS STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AROUND! FRIEND OF NEGRO FIRED FOR VIEWS Robert T. Kerlin, Professor of English in Virginia Military Academy Dismissed For Inter-Racial Activities WRITES GOVERNOR OF ARK'N'S Professor's Plea For Peonage Victims Assigned As Chief Reason For Drastic Action Taken by (By FREDERICK G. DETWILER for The Associated Negro Prison) for The Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 1.—Colonel Robert T. Kerlin, who wrote to the Governor of Arkansas an open letter published in the New York Nation in which he asked for justice for the Elaine men condemned to death, has been summarily dismissed from his professorship by the Board of Virginia Military Institute of Lexington, Va. Colonel Kerlin, who is a doctor of philosophy from Yale, has been for some professor of English at the above institution. He is known to colored people as the author of The Voice of The Negro, a work setting forth the appeal to the nation made by the Negro Press; and also as member of the Inter-Racial Committee of the State of Virginia. For several years, he has given himself without stint to t cause of racial justice, and there is not a man among the white group who has done so with finer idealism or truer spirit of democracy. On June 15th of this year The Nation printed over Col. Kerlin's name an open letter to Governor McCrea, pleading the cause of the condemned men in connection with the so-called "insurrection" near Hoop Spur, Ark. The facts of the farcial trial of scores of Negroes "without legal counsel, without witnesses," are recited and a most solemn appeal is made to Magna Carta, the American Constitution, and the Bible itself. The Board of Virginia Military Institute, a school that receives part of its support from the government, demanded Professor Kerlin's resignation in a meeting held August 20 at Richmond. On his refusal to resign the Board autocratically dismissed him with these words: "It is the opinion of this Board that Colonel Kerlin, by reason of his interposition in the "Elaine Insurrection" cases as exemplified by his letter to the Governor of Arkansas reflecting upon the administration of justice in that State, and those upon whom the solemn duty rests of enforcing the laws therein, (in which connection the Board has considered his general activities in inter-racial matters), has rendered his further connection with the Virginia Military Institute undesirable, and his retention in the professorship instead of promoting the beneficial ends for which the Institute was established, would prove harmful and detrimental thereto, and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct and management and prejudicial to the interests which it is their duty to guard and protect." Mrs. Wm. Meadows of Sedalia, Mo., and Mrs. A. K. Foote of Chicago, Ill., were honored on Monday by their hostess, Mrs. Wyatt Williams, with a beautiful tea at the Williams' home on South Fourteenth str., Lincoln, Nebr. A variety of late summer flowers made very attractive the rooms in which 75 guests were received, and the dining room was especially artistic with a color scheme of pink and white. The out of town guests were: Mrs. Snowden Porter of Chicago, Ill., Mrs. L. J. Gordon of Beatrice, Neb., Mesdames Henry Roberts, Pedro Stovall, Craig Morris. Wm. Murphy, J. D. Lewis, and the Misses Susie Scott, Juanita Jones all of Omaha, Neb., and the Misses Delores and Myrtle Lawton of Salina, Kansas. GIVES PARTY FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS Mrs. Wriest J.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MEDIA PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE A MARTYR FOR OUR CAUSE. NOT infrequently the remark has NOT infrequently the remark has been made that when it comes to speaking out or taking a stand for justice to the Colored American, white men are moral cowards. Mebbe so. There is much to support this indictment. However, it is well to remember that sweeping indictments are manifestly unjust and unfair. Nor should we forget that American annals record the names of many courageous, noble-hearted, wide-visioned, justice-loving white men and women who have been martyrs for our causes. Nor is their breed extinct. They remain to this day. Such noble souls have always been few. But, thank God, we have them yet. Were it not so, the future would be dark indeed. That such souls are few is quite natural. It takes courage of a high order to actively oppose strongly intrenched prejudices when opposition seems almost hopeless and the reward means personal loss, suffering and embarrassment. This is the issue that every white person in the United States must frankly face whenever he attempt to champion the Negro's cause. There is little wonder, therefore, that many of our sincere and genuine white friends hesitate to face this issue with the loss entailed. Few men of any race covet the martyr's crown in any unpopular cause, and martyr's haloes are only won in an unpopular cause. There are men prominent in the business and commercial world who have no sympathy with injustice and yet they know full well that were they to express their sentiments publicly it would mean financial loss and so they discretely keep still. The same is true of men and women in other walks of life including those of the bar, the pulpit and the university. "Tis true, and pity 'tis true." Still there are those of martyri brood. One is in our mind today. He is one of humanity's staunchest friends and one of his country's greatest benefactors because he has sought and is seeking to bring to pass a better understanding between the races. We refer to Robert T. Kerlin, a southern gentleman, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, Lexington Va., who has been summarily dismissed for his interest and activity in America's acute race problem. The specific cause of his dismissal is alleged to be his letter to the Governor of Arkansas asking him to review the cases of the Negro farmers sentenced to death in concession with the so-called Elaine "race-uprising". In his letter Professor Kerlin simply stated facts which Governor McRae, himself cannot truthfully dispute, that those unfortunate men are the unhappy victims of the system of peonage, or the crop-lien and labor system which largely exists in the South. That Professor Kerlin should be dismissed for pleading for justice and right is a reflection not upon him, but upon the members of the board who dismissed him. It is to be hoped that the sense of justice for which Virginians are noted will reverse the decision of the board. In the meanwhile Prof. Kerlin has the consciousness of having performed a notable service for which America when her vision is clearer will thank him. On behalf of our people the Monitor sincerely thanks him for his whole-hearted friendship, manifested in many helpful There Is a Reputation ADVO THREE POUNDS GOLD MEDAL COFFEE M.CORD-BRADY CO.

THIS month the children and youth of the land will be reentering schools and colleges. Every encouragement should be given to our youth to make the best of their opportunities for securing an education. While parents are making sacrifices to have their children receive advantages of which they themselves in many cases have been deprived the children should do their best to show their appreciation of what is being done for them. It is up to the pupil to get all he or she can out of school days for useful manhood and womanhood. We urge parents to cooperate with the teachers and school authorities in seeing that their children receive the very best our schools can give. Parents should visit the schools and become acquainted with their children's teachers. Understanding and cooperation between parents, teachers and pupils will make school days a pleasant and delightful memory and a helpful influence all down the pathway of the future years. THE ACT BE SPEAKS THE MAN APROPOS of Prof. Kerlin's dismissal. Monitor readers will be interested in learning that only a few days ago Mrs. Hammond of our city received a letter from him stating how pleased he was with her poem "The Way of Life" which he had read in The Monitor and advising that for the past few years he had made a study of poetry written by colored people, which had deeply impressed him. He expressed a wish to read any other poems she might have of the same type as "The Way of Life", and stated his conviction that literary talent and ability should be cultivated and encouraged. This gracious act bespeaks the man. AN AIR TRAGEDY THE world was horrified by the accident which befell the giant dirigible which was to establish aerial trans-oceanic travel. This air tragedy is deeply deplored. The loss of life is keenly regretted. Conquests in the scientific field have only been won by tragedies of this kind. They do not deter men from making bold ventures that human knowledge may be widened and greater achievements won. Aerial navigation will some day be the common-place and men will forget the numerous air-tragedies by which this progress will have been made. HAD anyone a few years ago had the hardihood to state that the time would come when the colored American would consider leaving the republican party his sanity would have been questioned. There are, however, omine rumblings which indicate something of this kind. We desire to thank the neighbors and friends for all kindness shown us in our recent bereavement in the death of our sister, Mrs. H. M. Hemmings and also for the beautiful floral designs. Mrs. Forbes, Mrs. Conrad, Mrs. Porter, Isaac Williams and families. SCHOOL DAYS RUMBLINGS SCOUTS TAKE OUTING Troop 23 spent a week that will be long remembered by the fifteen boys who spent the whole week at Camp Gifford. From their setting up exercises at 6:30 A. M. until the camp fires at 8:48 P. M. the days were filled with unexpected thrills and delights for boys. At times the horses were saddled and the boys taught proper approach, proper mounting, correct position on the saddles the aids in riding, and how they were used. On the rifle range, many bullets whiz to the bull's eye. Swimming seemed to fascinate the boys. Three swims every day. Four boys learned to swim during the week the rest improved in swimming. The scouts were taught how to break the death grip, how to carry a rescued swimmer, and the prone method of resuscitation. One morning the boys having been supplied with the regular ration, hiked to La Platte and back. Some say it was eighteen miles, some say twenty-four and some twenty, but irrespective of the mileage, it was some hike. The first pair started at 9:00 A. M. arriving back to camp at 4:30 P. M. Next morning everyone went fishing at Horseshoe Lake. Much fishing was done but only four fish were caught. Camp fires proved exceedingly interesting, especially so when during the telling of a ghost story a cannon was set off at their backs. Tests and examinations on scouting filled the rest of the time but it would require too much space to attempt a narration of these. At a regular meeting of the local Court of Honor, Henry Gordon was examined and awarded a First Class Badge in Scouting, thus giving us the first Colored First Class Scout in this district. The following awards were made by the Court of Honor: Second Class Scouts—Malcolm Chambers, Thomas Chandler, and Forester Scott. First Class Scouts—Henry Gordon Mert badges (officials) First aid public health, personal health, and chemistry to Dr. Craig Morris. On visitor's day, Thursday afternoon thirty-four women and children came to camp. After inspecting the summer tents, winter sleeping quarters, the dining room, the swimming pool and other points of interest, dinner was served. Afterwards the life guard, Mr. Dumont gave an exhibition of life saving, followed by horsemanship and swimming. The chief, Mr. Chas. Perkins, accompanied them to the train, pointing out the different kinds of trees and plants. ALLEN CHAPEL 523* S. 25th ST SOUTH OMAHA. O. J. BURCKHARDT Pastor. Sunday School 9:30 I.

ZION BAPTIST On August 21 an old fashioned basket meeting was held at Elmwood park. When one saw the crowd to be fed and then necessary abundance there to satisfy their hunger, we were made to believe that the high cost of living had lost its prestige. On Tuesday night a cake social was given by the B. Y. P. U. 14 girls were dressed to represent cakes and the prize for guessing the largest number of cakes correctly was awarded Mrs. Georgia Thomas. On Sunday August 28th, we were graced with visitors from 4 different states, representing the officers and delegates of the Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota Association which convened in Council Bluffs last week. Dr. G. W. Robinson of Des Moines preached for us Sunday morning and Rev Kimball of Burton, Iowa preached in the evening. Both gave much food for thought.

Tulsa's Colored People have not the earnest attention of the nation, because the associated press reports do not state in a manner, that will stimulate a desire to give relief, the cruel conditions that have and do exist. Official Tulsa and therefore Tulsa at large is NOT helping in proportion to the appalling need. People are without stoves, cooking utensils, quilts and bedding of all kinds—the merest necessities of existence—and ready money. ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS COURAGE TO FACE THE FUTURE. Mr. James L. Fieser, Southwestern Division Manager of the Red Cross said: "Winter's approach worries the Red Cross." Unless Tulsa wishes to have a tent colony on its hands in the fall and face a more serious problem, it should speed up its reconstruction program. He sees a big job ahead here for Tulsans and that now the financial end of the undertaking is the most important feature. MONEY IS NEEDED FOR RELIEF AND NEEDED BADLY.
