The Men and Also Womens' Auxiliary Render Excellent Accounts of Stewardship in Grand Session at Iola, Kas. Odd Fellows Had Great Session. District Grand lodge No. 17 and District Grand Household of Ruth No.12, G.U.O. of O.F., have just closed their twenty-ninth and thirteenth annual sessions respectfully in the beautiful city of Iola. The members of both departments never enjoyed a more pleasant session and the reports showed that the order was never in as good condition financially and numerically. After paying the widows and orphans of thirteen deceased Odd Fellows $100 to each family there remains over $2,000 in the endowment treasury, and after paying fifteen death claims of sisters of the Households there remains in their treasury $1,500. The Odd Fellows instituted a burial association, a department which Ex-Grand Master Shobe has long wanted for the benefit of the weaker lodges. The burial as J. H. DORSEY GREEN, D. G. M.

Sheriff Norton is ELIGIBLE for Another Term! --- The Kansas Supreme court decisions, as well as those in other states are plain on this subject. The Supreme court has decided that the time served by appointment is not part of the regular term. The scheme to mislead the voters is far from being clean politics. The chief opposition to Sheriff Norton is the same as it was two years ago. Don't forget this. The same element is in control of the opposition. Sheriff Norton defeated the clent then, and will do it again with the assistance of his friends. Due allowance must be made to any statement made by the evening paper as his opponent has been in the employ of that paper for the past eighteen years and they feel friendly to him. Sheuff Norton is eligible and guarantees this fully by the best legal talent in the state. Republicans must not permit a few Democratic politicians to name our candidate for this office. Sheriff Norton will not descend to a mud-slinging campaign. His record as a public officer the past two years and as a citizen of Topeka for the past twenty-five years is sufficient recommendation. Sheriff Norton has conducted a CLEAN administration and his record is open to your inspection at any time. He has also lived in Shawnee county for the past twenty-five years and his private life is above reproach. On his record he asks you for your vote and he has one thing to promise; You'll find him always on the job and loyal to his post. Vote for Sheriff Norton. (Signed) JONATHAN D. NORTON.

MANAGER GRIFFIN FINDS KANSAS POLITICIANS BUSY! In Every County all are Confident and Conducting Clean, Gentlemanly Campaigns---A Passing Glance at Some Excellent Fellows Who Desire to Serve the People In Different Capacities. MONTGOMERY COUNTY It is seldom that a man's good traits are exploited while among the living, that one is forced to look a second time before believing, and thus it is in the case of Mr. Chas. D. Ise, of Coffeyville, Republican candidate for County Attorney of Montgomery county. He is one of the most brilliant young lawyers in Southern Kansas, and stands high in the esteem of people of all classes throughout the county. He is honest and square in all of his transactions, and places honor above money. He is bitterly opposed to graft and grafters, and if the people do as they should (elect him) he will give the county a good clean, straight forward, honorable administration, and save big money for the taxpayers. Mr. Ise is an able lawyer, and is recognized as such in the ranks of the profession. There is no better evidence of his high standing and ability than the following well deserved editorial compliment from his home paper, The Coffeyville Daily Journal which says: "Mr. Ise is one of the young attorneys of Montgomery county, having practiced here for about four years. He laid the foundation for his life's work by a thorough training in the best schools of Kansas. He graduated from the State Normal and then from the College of Liberal Arts of the University of Kansas. He then again took up his vocation of teacher, coming to Coffeyville as principal of the high school. After serving in that capacity for a few years he returned to the University of Kansas and entered the law school, graduating from that department. He came back to Coffeyville then and engaged in the practice of his profession in which he has been very successful. "Mr. Ise and his friends believe that not only is he entitled to the nomination because of his ability and worth, but because he comes from a corner of the county which has not its just proportion of the county offices. The announcement has been made after mature deliberation and a canvass of the situation, and a vigorous campaign will be made between now and the primaries. "Mr. Ise promises to fearlessly and impartially perform the butts of the office which is one of the most important in the county." If straws indicate the direction of the wind (and they do) Mr. Ise's nomination will be almost unanimous. His home papers are a unit in his behalf as may be gleaned by the following from the "opinion page" of the Coffeyville Daily Sun: "This is a responsible office and F 9 MRS. LULU SUAMERS, D. G. E. S, Kansas City, Kans. one to which this city and section is entitled, and the Republican party is fortunate in having a man of the stamp of Mr. Ise seeking the nomination. Charley Ise has not only had a thorough education in law and several years active practice, but had an excellent educational foundation to build upon. He is a graduate of the State Normal School and of Kansas University, having obtained a master's degree at the latter institution. "He came to this city as principal of the high school, later resigning his position to enter the legal profession. Mr. Ise was raised on a farm and is not afraid of hard work, plenty of which is found in the county attorney's office. He promises to fearlessly and faithfully perform his duties if elected, and his many friends are ready to guarantee that he will fill the office in a more than creditable manner." Popular Clerk of Atchison County Will Be Re-elected. One of the most gentlemanly officials that ever served the people of any county is Mr. C. M. Voelker, county clerk of Atchison county, He JOHN H. is always on the job and his records and accounts are always "up to now." He is an expert accountant and bookkeeper, and has given the people such a clean business administration that his nomination and election is a foregone conclusion. NEOSHO COUNTY In our notes last week we errored in speaking of the candidacy of Mr. G. R. Hurt. He is a candidate for register of deeds instead of county clerk. He is one of the county's ```markdown ``` --- C.M. VOELKER C. M. VOELKER. foremost citizens, a staunch Republican and well qualified and worthy to serve the people of his county. He should be nominated and elected. MONTGOMERY COUNTY. Our old friend, Mr. Ed Love, is asking the Republican voters for the nomination of sheriff, and they are going to give it to him. Mr. Love is one of the best men in Southern Kansas, and everyone that knows him is his friend. He is one of those jolly fovial fellows, that has a smile and a kind word for everyone regardless of creed, color or religion. He is a successful business man which is a guarantee that the office of sheriff will be in competent hands and conducted in a manner that will incur the least expense upon the taxpayers, and at the same time enforce the law to the letter. Men like Ed Love cannot be found every minute in the day, and we hope that he will receive the reward he seeks. He is a consistent Republican, a good booster for the party and has always given liberally of his time and money to promote Republican success. --- (COWLEY) COUNTY W. M. Remenberger, Republican candidate for county clerk, has resided in the county for many years and is well and favorably known to almost every man, woman and child in this section. He is a thrifty enterprising citizen and one of the most valuable men in the community. He is ever ready and willing to contribute to that which tends to advance and bring prosperity to the county, which spirit has won him many warm friends and admirers. Mr Renceenberger is thdroughly competent and well qualified for the office, and the voters will make no mistake by nominating him. In the following announcement he truthfully says: Business men train men for their special service. Business concerns retain the men they have trained. Cowley County is a business concern. You have given me nearly four years' training in office. I thank you for the privilege accorded me. Now, if a bank, a firm or corporation can profit by training men for its especial work, can not Cowley County? If it is of advantage to said bank, firm or corporation to retain the men it has trained, is it not of advantage to Cowley County to do the same? You have paid me to become proficient in this business. That proficiency is at your service, if you wish, without additional cost. Thanking you for past courtesies, I am Yours truly, W. M. BENCENBERGER COWLEY COUNTY EJ J. Fleming, one of the leading and best lawyers in this section of the state, is a candidate for county attorney on the Republican ticket. Mr. Fleming is well known throughout the county, and has a large following among all classes. He is a clean, upright, honorable man and if the legal affairs are entrusted to him he will save the taxpayers thousands of dollars, and at the same time enforce all laws with equal and exact justice and the voters should get out and vote and work for his nomination. Through the office of county attorney, thousands of dollars of the people's money is oftimes squandered, and to prevent a waste of this kind, care should be exercised in selecting a man for this important office. Mr. Fleming has proven himself trustworthy and ably equipped for the place and the people of Cowley County should stand by him. MIAMI COUNTY Archie E. Shelton, of Paola, is sure to be the next registrar of deeds. He is a steadfast Republican, an excellent accountant and bookkeeper, and is in every respect worthy and well qualified for the place. As a party worker, none have been more enthusiastic and since he has always pulled his coat and pitched in for the "other fellow," it is but fair and just that a nice hunk of "pie" be passed to him, and when the votes are counted at the primaries on August 6th we firmly Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Price $1.50 Per Year. believe that Mr. Shelton will receive a partial compensation for his invaluable efforts to bring about Republican success. Personally he is one of those large hearted fellows, whose word is as good as one of "your uncle Samuel's" gold certificates, which trait has woven around him a wide circle of warm friends among people of all complexions and political affiliations. ALLEN COUNTY G. E. Pees, of Iola, is asking the Republican voters for the nomination of county attorney. He is a lawyer of more than ordinary ability, and ably equipped to meet every requirement of the office. Mr. Pees is a vigorous prosecutor and convincing debator and if elected will use every fair means to protect the peoples' interests. Personally, he is jovial, kind, sympathetic and every inch a gentleman. In the legal profession he stands high, and his opinion on legal questions is often sought by some of the state's foremost lawyers. A good lawyer for county attorney is one of the most important things in the thrift and progress of any community, and if the people of Allen county want such a man in that office, they will nominate Mr. Pees. He is a native son, having been born and raised in Allen county. He is a graduate of Kansas University, law department and has practiced in Iola for several years, and all are familiar with his ability. MONTGOMERY COUNTY One of the most important things to the people of any county, is the selection of a man to represent them in the law-making body of the state. First, they should see that he is a man who places honor above the slush fund of trusts and corporations, and will ever be alert to the interest of those he represents. In Dan Dabney, Montgomery county has a man filled with every essential quality necessary to represent them in that body, and from the beat of their pulse, Mr. Dabney is sure to be nominated and elected. He is brave, aggressive and a deep thinker, one who will weigh carefully every question, and ever keep an eye on everything pertaining to the welfare and happiness of his constituents. His platform which follows has the correct ring, and it would be political suicide for Montgomery county to turn down a man on such an excellent platform—one that meets every demand of the great common people. In his platform he says: "Montgomery county in 1911 paid the enormous sum of $1,014,457.76 in taxes; of which $73,865.21 was state taxes alone. "If public affairs were conducted along the same conservative lines as you conduct your private business, would this enormous amount of taxes have been necessary? "The legislature is the best place to retrench in public expenditures. "If elected as your representative to the legislature I shall oppose all legislation that adds any increase to your taxes unless absolutely necessary. I shall use my best efforts to enact such legislation as will reduce public expenditures to the lowest possible minimum without in any manner impoiring the efficiency of any department of state or county. Your confidence and support will be appreciated. Respectfully yours, DAN DABNEY." NEOSHO COUNTY W. M. Gray, of Chanute, progressive Republican candidate for Congress from the Third district, is making a vigorous campaign for the nomination, and his friends are not only claiming success for him, but are actively espousing his cause throughout the district. He is a man of broad experience and his business training and skill amply fits him for the office he seeks, and he promises if elected to serve his constituents to the best of his ability, and that he will not be tled down by corporations and bosses as has been others sent to Congress by the people of Kansas. Mr Gray is a splendid fellow; kind and polite to everybody regardless of/ reed, color or religion, and his friend are many among all classes except, v those who toll. Country papers throughout the United States are printing what is alleged to be a letter written by Christ. In this letter was an injunction that it should be published to the world by whoever found it, together with the statement that misfortune and bad luck would follow the person having possession of it—in the event that it was not given publicity. There was likewise a promise that whoever may have a copy of this in his or her possession will prosper and be followed by good fortune. Denver Weekly Post has received some hundreds of requests to print this letter, so if it will relieve the superstitious fears of any one, here it is. According to the history of the letter it was written by Christ just after his crucifixion, signed by the angel Gabriel, ninety-nine years after the Savior's birth, and presumably deposited by Him under a stone at the foot of the cross. On this stone appeared the legend, "Blessed is he who shall turn me over." No one knew what the inscription meant, or seemed to have sufficient curiosity to investigate until the stone was turned over by a little child, and the letter which follows was discovered: "Whosoever works on the Sabbath day shall be cursed. I command you to go to church and keep holy the Lord's day without any manner of work. You shall not idle or misspend your time in bedeking yourself in superfluities of costly apparel and vain dressing, for I have ordered it a day of rest. I will have that day kept holy that your sins may be forgiven you. You will not break my commandments, but observe and keep them, they being written by my hand and spoken from my mouth. You shall not only go to church yourselves, but also your man servant and maid servant. Observe My work and My commandments. "You shall finish your work every Saturday at 6 o'clock in the afternoons, at which hour the preparation for the Sabbath begins. I advise you to fast five days in the year, beginning on Good Friday and continuing the five days following, in remembrance of the five bloody wounds I received for you and mankind. "You shall love one another and cause them that are not baptised to come to church and receive the holy sacrament, that is to say, baptism, and then the supper of the Lord, and be made a member thereof, and in so doing I will give you long life and many blessings. Your land be replemished and bring forth abundance, and I will comfort you in the greatest temptation and surely be that doeth to the contrary shall be cursed. "I will also send hardness of the heart on them and especially on hardened and unpenitent unbelievers. He The members of Strange City lodge A. F. and A. M. No. 37, enjoyed the annual visit of their most worthy Grand Master, C. H. M. Collins on Saturday, July 20. He arrived at 6 o'clock p. m. and was taken to the home of the secretary, T. H. Carter, where he had supper and from there he was escorted to the hall by the W. M., C. R. Estes. At the appointed hour the lodge was opened and the W. M. yielded up the gavel to the M. W. G. M., who proceeded to lecture the brother in his able and scholarly way. Mr. Collins has indeed proved himself to be worthy of the confidence his friends put in him. In closing his fifth year's work as G. M. of this jurisdiction, he has done much for the upbuilding of the different lodges of the state and his many friends regret to hear him speak of stepping out in favor of another. They feel that there is quite a deal of good he could accomplish were he re-elected Brother Collins left some lasting and impressive thoughts with us and if each brother would take it to himself it would help make him a better Mason and a better citizen in the community in which he lives. At the conclusion of his address the sisters tendered him a grand reception which was enjoyed by all present. The crowd departed at a late hour and declared themselves highly honored in having such a gentleman as Brother Collins with them. There will always be a warm place in the minds and hearts of the brethern of Southeastern Kansas for him. Mr. Collins remained over Sunday and was entertained by Messrs. C. R. Estes and G. W. Dawdy, two of our best citizens. As he goes from us we know that he has obtained the highest honor that hath given to the poor shall find it profitable. Remember to keep the Sabbath day, for the seventh day I have taken as a resting day for Myself. "And he that hath a copy of this letter written by My own hand and spoken by My own mouth and keepeth it without publishing it to others, shall not prosper, but he that publisheth it to others, shall be blessed by Me, and if their sins be as many as stars by night, and if they truly believe, they shall be pardoned and they that believe not this writing and My commandments will have My plague upon you, and you will be consumed with your children, goods and cattle and all other worldly enjoyments that I have given you. Do but once think of what I have suffered for you. If you do it will be well for you in this world and in the world which is to come. "Whosoever shall have a copy of this letter and keep it in their house nothing shall hurt them, neither pestilence, thunder nor lightning, and if any woman be in birth and put her trust in Me she shall be delivered of her child. You shall hear no more news of Me except through the Holy Scriptures, until the day of judgment. All goodness and prosperity shall be in the house where a copy of this letter shall be found." The story goes that the little child who found it passed it to one who became a convert to the Christian faith. He failed to have the letter published. He kept it, however, as a sacred memo of Christ, and it passed down to different generations of his family for more than one thousand years. During this period the family suffered repented misfortunes. Migrated to different countries until finally one of them came to America, bringing the letter with him. They settled in Virginia, then moved further South, still followed by misfortune, when finally the last member, a daughter, approached her death bed and called a neighbor, Mrs. Thompson, giving her the letter and related its history for more than one thousand years. The Thompson woman began the attempt to have it published and it first appeared in the Rome, Ga., Tribune, on Oct. 31, 1891. It then appeared in the Dalton, Ga., Citizen and Mrs. Wortman, now living in Marion, Ind., clipped it and kept it in her possession for many years, without an effort to have it published. She was followed by misfortune, which she attributed to her neglect in trying to have the letter published. Mrs. Ruby Crutchfield of Treyarant, Tenn, is also said to have had a copy and failed to make an effort to have it published for three years, and was followed by a varied lot of misfortunes, which she attributed to the fact of her neglect in this respect. that can be conferred on him as a Mason, but we pray that his life work may be one of joy, happiness and success. KANSAS CITY, KAN. The "Five Hundred" club, which is composed of matrons from both the Kansas Cities, met with Mrs. I. F. Bradley last Friday. The out of town guest was Miss Hodges of Memphis, Tenn. The many friends of Mrs. Anthony Overton were shocked to learn of her death, which occurred in Chicago recently. The body was brought to Lawrence, Kan, for burial. We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. The Pierian club is to entertain their friends with a porch party next Thursday evening at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. S. H. Thompson. Mrs. J. H. Perkins left last Tuesday for an extended visit with her sister at Arkansas City, Kearns. Last Saturday afternoon the M. M. whist club met with Mrs. Plough. The members present were, Meadames Wilson, Green, Plummer, Scanis, Hayden, Williamson, Elliott, Starnees Marquess, Cotton and Herndon. The visitors were, Miss Dickson of Ohio, Meadames King, Reed and Brown of Kanas City, Mo. The club prize, a beautiful ivory fan was won by Mrs. V. Elliott, and the guest's prize, also an ivory fan, was awarded to Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Starnees was consoled with a Japanese fan. A most delicious luncheon was served, after which the club adjourned to meet next week with Mrs. Grant Plummer. Mrs. Fred Johnson, who has been indisposed for the past week, is improving. Mr. Anthony Cotton and daughters spent days in this city before returning to their home in Chicago. While here the Misses Overton were the guests of Miss Ruth Bradley. Big Barbecue Everybody Welcome!

Fine ice cream sodas. Shawnee Drug Stores. We need but little in the line of clothing these warm summer days, but there is a day coming when our picnic and excursion money will come in handy for warmer apparel. Think of it now. A rule or law that will not work both ways is a poor rule, and a rule that affects the elector and not the candidate is nothing more or less than a piece of machinery made to operate in the interest of dishonest men. Hon. George H. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, has been nominated for the legislature and will in all probably be elected. Should this expectation prove a reality it will be no more feather in the cap of a man of the race. We hope results will turn in his favor. If the farmers could always get their wishes as they did Saturday night last when it rained as per schedule of the weather forecast there would be some happy souls in the land. The wish for rain was made by many and it was just the kind of rain that they wanted. Any man who declares against the "Bull Moose" aggregation of thieves and spell-binders renders himself an unfit subject for their association. But the fellow who declares himself favorable to the "Bull Moose crowd can cling to the other fellow and still be a good subject. All the people who talk of the "third party" seem to forget that there are more than two parties now in existence, and in doing so offer an insult to the Prohibition, Socialist and other parties which have candidates already in the field and have had candidates in all the elections for the past twenty years. The colored people of Kansas are becoming more interested in the well of the race. More men are going to the farm and new lines of business are being opened all over the state. All of these ventures are opening avenues for the employment of the boys and girls who qualify themselves for such positions. Let the good work go on. If ever the times come when all the people are satisfied then the time for the millennium will have arrived, and the fires of Hades will be in bright glow for the reception of such a host as never before stepped in at one time and the angels in heaven will be sad and plaintive over event of so many looking up their way but traveling the other. Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., is making effort to raise the sum of $135,000 as an endowment fund, and Mr. J. Pierpoint Morgan has promised to give the last $25,000,00. It is a generous offer, and if a few others of the wealthy men and women of the land would be just half as generous as Mr. Morgan the faculty of Fisk would soon be in possession of the sum needed to carry on its work. Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love," having joined the "Jim Crow" gang in its public school system, has brought on a school war and the colored people are up in arms against the manner in which they are being treated. In some respects the colored people are to blame for what they are getting for when they had mixed schools they would not be content until they had schools of their own so that colored teachers might have jobs as teachers. --- "The Kansas City Journal has the following on Kansas laws and their workings: "The Kansas laws take sufficient cognizance of political parties to require them to hold primary elections, but not enough to require that the official ballot nominated at these elections shall be free from fraud and theft. The Kansas election laws are queer enactments, or else the courts give them queer interpretations." It is a noted fact that the progressive actors in this state believe in laws that they can turn about to suit their wants. Jus- tice for the other fellow is not considered. For instance, a law requires a man to state under oath the valuation of his property and allows a millionaire to report what an ordinary teamster has to report. Presidents and Secretaries of State Negro Business Leagues throughout the United States, as well as officers of local Negro Business Leagues, are firmly engaged arranging for special pullman, tourist or chair car accommodations for delegates who plan to attend the Thirteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22, and 23, 1912. has been found that the passenger agents of the railroads are dispatched to heartily co-operate in making them arrangements for delegates. The following recommendations are made for the benefit of those who have not already made plans for their state or local delegations. In all cases make the special pullman or tourist car party a personally conducted affair. Select the most attractive route for an outing to Chicago to arouse interest among the delegates. Start early enough to permit stop-overs at points of interest en route. The one in charge of the party should make a careful study of points of interest, etc., that he may in his correspondence, advertising and on the train speak with authority. Get the active cooperation of all the railroads and especially of the initial line in your state. When you have decided upon the route, write (or better, see personally) the General Passenger Agent of that particular railway. Tell him you will undertake the work of securing a special car party to the Chicago meeting, if you have positive assurance of his active co-operation on the lines: (a) The railroad to furnish full information to all prospective members of the parties, giving data covering itinerary and points of interest en route to Chicago. (b) The railroad to circulate this information and itinerary with your co-operation among the members of your local or state league. (c) The railroad to advertise the special pullman or tourist car party in all the Negro newspapers of the state. (d) The railroad to send instructions to its agents throughout your state to carry out the active canvass for members for party, with your co-operation. Persons intending to organize such pullman or tourist car parties are urged to keep the corresponding secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, in close touch with their plans, so that he may assist in bringing parties in the same territory together. Attention to his request will be cordially appreciated. It will facilitate the whole movement. Delegates intending to be present should send early notice of such intention to S. J. Evans, Chairman, Committee on Homes, 417 East 42nd Place, Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Evans and his committee will assign these various delegations in accordance with such instructions as may be sent them. The Chicago Negro Business League in planning for the social entertainment of the delegates has arranged an automobile tour of the city, taking in the various points of interest, the monster business houses, the Board of Trade, etc.; also for a boat excursion on Lake Michigan in honor of the delegates, and a banquet at the Seventh Regiment Armory on the last evening of the convention. In addition to these social features which have been arranged for the entertainment of the delegates, entertainments are also being arranged for at the various clubs of the city; a reception in honor of the wives of the delegates promises to be the event of the meeting. The daily sessions of the league will be held in the Pekin theatre, 27th and State Streets. The program for the meeting will be issued from the press but later than August 1st. Instead of being closely confined to stories of personal "experiences" as in other years, specialists have invited to speak on various subjects of commercial interest to the delegates: Meurs, J. Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Company, the philanthropist; Edward B. Butler of Butler Brothers; and a number of Chicago's most prominent business man, have been requested to be present, and deliver short addresses. Such remarks from these captains of industry and finance, should be most helpful. The morning session, Thursday, August 22nd, will be used altogether by the National Negro Bankers' Association. BATON, NEW MEXICO. Mrs. Jefferson Ward left for Los Angeles, Calif., Sunday morning to remain indefinitely. PASSING COMMENT BY JOHN M. DORSEY. The man or woman who has no business is a poor judge of what the other people need. If you have a business of your own look after its interests and you will not have time to meddle with other people's affairs. Some people kick if it's hot and they kick if it's cold; they kick if it rains and they kick if it's dry, and they will kick out of this life. If all except the God-called preachers would quit the ministry of today the remaining few would have a hard time filling all the pulpits in the land. The man who can talk his way through this world makes his living off people who do not take time to think, but would rather pay some one to think for them. The various churches in the land have their ships headed toward heaven, but if either is right all the rest are wrong, as there is but one straight and narrow path that leads to glory. The teacher who quits, studying when he lands a position is like a railroad company that never puts in a new tie or rail after a track is built—soon becomes of no service. He or she is a drawback to the cause of education. The Court of Calanthe had its installation at the hall on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Hunn and little son, and Mrs. J. B.

Rew Jy Ranson Wiles of the Great Function at St, Louts, A True Friend, This subject that has been assigned to me brings to my mind more than a mere duty of taking some part in the name of the Kansas Conference in welcoming this chieftian of God's mighty host, whom the last General Conference was pleased to assign to tead this faithful ministry and laity of the old historic Fifth for the neat four years. But it reminds me forcefully of the character and life of the man and the duties of his office upon one hand and the responsibilities and duties uf those of us whom he comes to lead en the other. And too, this reminds me that to be a friend implies more than words, for how can two walk together except they agree? Then a “True Friend” loveth at all threes, These two thoughts therefore rurvect thay there niuct be an agreement; Fecond, that there must be love, or else this true friendship cannot be retained.

A part of mine may live in thee, And move thee on to nobler ends.”—Ten- nyson. Then a friend is one not hostile. Bishop Parks is a true friend in all that that word implies, Friend to the poor, for I have seen him like a good Samaritan as freely sive his money to the poor, the Dlind, the maimed and enslaved prisoner as he exer spent it for the necessities of his home. He is as true a friend to the cause of Education as has been evi- denced by the great sacrifice and ef- forts shown in the work of Tennersce and Alabama for the past four years. For it wag through his untiring ef- orts, and under his administration that the first “Educational High Wat- er Mark Rally” was set by an Epis- copal District, which has since re- sulted in the cancellation of debts of many years standing and the erece tion of some of the most beautiful and substantial buildings among our denominagon, Through our whole phurch has gone forth the spirit and puch of Bishop Parks, Then he i< a truv friend to the sause of Missions, Tor twclve years ne stood at the head of that depart] nent and with his Godly zeal and, Toquence, burned into the hearts of Sfrican Methodism a lave for Mis- fon which had never before been at- nined, Bishop Parks a True Vriend.

When he mahes a friend once he seldom loses him, becau-e he never forgets friendly deeds, and for every act of kindness shown him, he ever strives to show his appreciation to the friend or friends so acting, For like Bishops Ward and Grant, after whose tives his hos langly been fashioned—for upon him has fallen their mantels. You can always trust him, if he tells you he is fur you all the come Lined powers of the earth cannot change him. And if he promizes to. do a thing for you, you may go to. bleep upon that promise for if life lasts Bishop Parks will do that thing. Can such a true friend as that fal? Nay! Nay! Net while God and right livee, None other than God leads such a character as this. Bishop Parks would rather stand by and be true to his friends and be alone with them and God, than {o march in the vineyard with the thousands, knows ing that he had proven traitor to @ tingle trust, or untrue to ga tingle friend. We ask, therefore “what can sep- arate us from such a friend?” Can [principahties and earthly powers do it? 3 um persuaded that none of these can part us from-thee, Not even death itself for we are determine ed that we shal] all do our part to maintain this relation and when the cords of mortal life are broken and we thall pass in ag that open gate that lads us into the presence of Him wha has said, “Be thou faithful untit death und I will give thee a crown of life,” we, I ray, rhall awake to find that our friendship is unbrohen; end that its lcn-ona in demonstration have just begun, and ay the ages of eternity roll on thiv true friend-hip wall stall be growlng—cyen more, increasing with tender gelation and with new tsnuciation—with new occupation une ul in the knowledge of God and His preation we shall ree and rightly une kratand why God only made man in His image and after Jiis hkences, and rave him power over all other created thins» on earth, in the water, and in he air and redeemed by the power of ted, Bishop Parks will stand In the rreseme af the Throne “A TRUE AND TRIED PRIEND.” ' Go To E.

Tell of Her Trip Across the Mriny Deep and Arrival in the Orient, Antwerp, Belgium, July 8th, 1022 To the Plaindealer: Please allow me space in your pa- per to give America a birdseye view of my trip as far as I have gone. 1 will say first that surely I have now almost come to the end of my jour- ney, a journey which has already lasted forty-seven years, In those years my brain has been working, my heart beating and my feet walking— very good machinery mine must cer- tainly be, for I cannot sec any sign yet of its belng the worse for wear. A terrible storm came upon me in the year 1004 and robbed me of my husband. My home and family were broken up and ever since then I have been on the go. A woman in my position felt too lonely to sit in a home where I had aluays seen the face of husband and friends whom 1! loved. Providence hag spared me and I am grateful. I am free from do- mestic cares and my mind $s now bent on Christian work. To get the true beauty and soul of ‘a landscape one must know just where to sit and how to look at life, and this I have learned. This trip will be an education to me. Why should 1 not give what I have seen to those who may never come thig side of the great Atlantic Occan? We left Ft. Riley, Kansas, June 7: at 12:15 p.m. Went through Kansas City Chicago and Piuladelphia, and arrived In New York Sunday the 9th at 4:30 p.m. As I had been to New York twice before there wag nothing that interested me but going under the Hudson River on the train, Mad- ison Squere Garden and the Metro- politan building which is the highest in the world. June fith we sailed on the S. S. “Finland,” a very large and beautiful boat, with 350 passengers. The boat was a floating palace hotel, We had the best of everything to ext —spring chicken every morning for ‘breakfast and turkey nearly every day for dinner. I was queen of the boat gs I was the only colored woman +s, “ht ak. meade bec lane ws 25 HUF, Bee rng i th A!

Montgomery had secured nice state rooms for us and I will say right here he gave me the same fare all the way that his family had and that was the very best. We fost sight of land about 3:30 that af- ternoon and began the plunge out into the great briny deep, Oh! I shall never forget the dashing of those big waves! Sometimes we were rocking like a cradle and then like g seesaw, and at other times we would not know that we were moving unless we were up on deck, We came 3500 miles on the ocean. We passed the sister boat to the “Titanic,” the “Olympic,” the largest boat in the world, Sunday, June 16th, at 10.30 a. m. a bell rang for everybody on board to assemble in the dining room to attend church services. There we honored God with song and prayer, On Fri- day morning, June 2tst, I heard a cry, “Kavef Kave!” (fire! fire!) Then such a rustling in the hallway! 1 waa In my cabin looking after the children, You could have heard my heart beating had you been fn the hall, but I did not go out. I had one consolation that there was enough water all around us to put out any hind of fire, I learned a lesson in Birmingham, Ala, when 108 people were hilled by rushing out of a church in an excitement, So I sat still, and presently Lieut, Montgomery came to sce If I were frightened and told me that they were only at practice. I was seasick for two days, After that ] was O, K. Nearly everyone got seasick, even the horses, We touched the borders of Enge land, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany, On Sunday, June 23rd, we got our first view of land since we lef, New York and everybody was glad to see it once more, We were then in the English Channel, and Monday, June 24th, we landed in Antwerp, Belgium, a city builded on the ancient style, a Institute, Beginning with the new school term, September 10th, 1912, has arranged for a special course of instruction for students who wish to make a specialty of Band and Orcuestra Music. Captain N. Clark Smith, bandmaster, will be in charge of this course. A circular giving more detailed infor- mation will be furnished prospective students who may be interested.

One of the noblemen of this country, who has a high position in the government, was stopping at the same hotel. He asked Mrs. Montgom- ery about me, as there are no colored people in Antwerp, She handed him a copy of The Plaindealer, as I had several copies with me, He was agreeably surprised to see a paper edited and printed by a colored man, and he highly complimented it. The funerals are the greatest curt- osity I have seen here. The hearse looks like, a square-topped carriage without any curtains, and the top fs overlaid with gold.
