T, Cole, of Kansas City, taal the jurisdiction has grown and Proszpered and so ably exemplified she principles for which this noble Srdee stands. The ranks are filling daily with clean, honorable men, and todag the jorisdictlon boasts of five thduyand “workmen” who are spread- ing'the cement of brotherly love, and deretling together in peace and har- méoy. With the wisdom of a Solo- mon, Prof. Cole se, out to place the Jurisdiction upon a higher plain and develop to the fullest height, all of athe ‘divine attributes of this noble erdet as laid down and practiced by there ancient brethren. Success has guided his every step and they are tow journeying happily along ever enindful to keep within the landmark that has perpetuated ancient craft Mavonry and will keep it alive as long #4 God rules and the sun sheds forth her beilliant rays upon the earth, Grand Master Cole, who by the way is just rounding out a second term, has huilded a great temple of brother- lyslave that will ever stand out as a “proud and living monument not only to by wise: leadership and well de- veloped business ability, but to the Masonic fraternity and the highest type of Christianity for which it has stood as firmly as the great rock of Cueattar, % Makes Grand Visit, | Prof, Cole has just returned from the Northwest where he visited the Jodyey in Helena, Mont., Spokane, Wash, and sveral other states that have lodges under the jurisdiction of Mamouri. He reports having found shes working In peace and harmony and also that they are up and doing aud in the onward march of this rap. ihy moving civilization; are keeping pace with the times and holding their Place within the ranks of all that is Progressive, noble and pure. « Waile away, Prof. Cole made a Pieaiuie trip to the Pacific enast, vis- item Los Angeles and San F'rancisco, Nee, especially in Los Angeles, he found a wide-awake, enterprising set af colored people—full of business ang embracing every opportunity to romper and expand, They own nice hemes; strictly modorn, ‘and many ef them are members of the local Coezmercial club and are contnbut- ia much to stimulate the city's bus- inons activity and increase its popu- lateg-and wealth, All this and many mere laudable things he says charac- tdeize the Negro citizenship of Loa Angeles. Here he wag entertained regally by the leading men and wom- eu of city, who tendered him a ban. quet, He also lectured at the Rev, F, Sesve Peck’s church, one of the larg- est tn that rection, Rev, Peck, fore imett, pastored Allen Chapel at Kan- aa. City, Mo, Prof, Cole says he has au intelligent congregatign and the! church {in a credit to the city and atric, The Color Lite , {t is amusing and at the same time very interesting to hear Prof. Cole re‘ate one or two little anecdotes rela- tive to the much cussed and discussed color tine: At Alliance, Nebr. he! waa given his first gentle reminder| that,he was of African decent, and} that white rough necks are aivays| sure to object to the presence of a diean, cultured, refined and educated, | gentleman of color, | “{ stopped at an ordinary hotel at Alitance,” said Prof. Cole, “And 1 4 bacily had time to resnove my hat be. ‘« fore it became known tha, I wag tobe | a guest, then the howl went up, The proprietor took me aside, and inform. | eg me that his boarders were object-! ing to my presence, hence, I would |! Wave, to vacate, I did so reluctantly, + | PROF. A. T, COLE, Distinguished Educator and Grand Mastor of Mis soutl durlseletion of Anctent Free and Accepted Masons, and upon looking arofind more elgse: ly, L informed the landlord that I was lad of the opportunity to vacate his hostilery, aa f was not accustomed te stopping at second class places, ang | felt that I was being imposed upon should I be compelled to accept the fare he had to offer, “L was to pay the lodge a visit that night, and as soon as two or three of the Masonic craft learned what had occurred, they carried me te the fin- est and best hotel in the city, The Proprietor greeted me cordially, and tron discovering that I was a Mason, |and occupying the highest honor thay ean be bestowed upon one by that body, told me that he greeted me as a friend, but that he was gatd to learn that we were closer still—brothers. I remarked that his guests might ob- ject to my presence, and he sald if there was anyone under his roof that fett hurnilated or insulted because I was there, they could take their be- lorigings and leave his place at once. While I was being thus welcomed there was something doing ay the second-tlaca hotel, The chamber maid, who was a member of the East. ern Star, learned of how I had been treated, resigned her position, She said she would not work at a place where respectable men and women of any race, creed or religion were in- sulted for no other reason than that their skin was of a different hue.” *En route to Frisco, I went into the dining car for dinner, and after being comfortably seated by the conductor proceeded to replemish the inner man, I hag hardly began, when a fashion- ably dresied white Iady entered, paused u moment aud looked over the car, and came to the table where I way and sat down. Presently another tady of the same race entered and followed suit, I noticed an uneasi- neay among others on the car—men and women going to the conductor ang saying asmething in an excited manner, but [ could not understand what was being raid, I finished my meal and returned to the chair car, and one of the waiters informed me thet 2 bunch of Tennessea rough nechs (using his expression) were on board €n route to a conclave, and that they were indignant, sore, boil- ing ovet because two white ladies dined at the same table with a Ne- mio, Tha, they told the conductor,’ if he did not throw me off the train they would do so themaelves, He told them to go ahead, and If they did, they would find an accommodat- ing sheriff at the next stop who would aicort them to a place that yawned for all such people. “Same of the women tried to chas- tise the Indies for dining at a table with « ‘nigger’, byt one of them was froma Boston, and cooly replied: ‘I am proud to have dined with him, he is every inch g gentleman, and would that | could say as much for some of those who are objecting to his pres- ence.’ From that time on they sad no further use for the lady from Boa* ton and at every opportunity tried to snub her. However, I finished my journey and ate in the dining car without any further trouble.” Worthy of a Third Term. It has long been the custom of the Missouri jurisdiction to give a third term when an official made good, and the same should be and undoubtedly will be applied to Grand Master Cole, and when he does step down and out the jurisdiction demands that his suc- cessor be his equal in every respect. They want a man who has made a success of his own business—bullt » home and accumulated somethingy A man who accumulates for himself can successfully handle the affairs of others and build for them. Everything to which Prof. Cole, has set his hand has broughy forth fruit in abundance. He ig one of the most successful educators in America, and his work in the public schools at Kan: sas City, Mo. is the pride of both’ white and black citizens of the sane and an honor and credit to Western brain and brawn. He is one of those thrifty, enterprising fellows, and his: magnificient education has been al source of uplift to men of all creeds, races and religion. Prof, Cole is born leader of men, as can be seen by the successful manner in which he handled the erection of the great Masonic temple in Kansas City. Every dollar of the money passed through his hands and not @ murmur of discontent was heard from any source, His accounts were accurate and every dollar accounted for to a penny, His heen eye detected about $400 of the orders money thay had been “buried™ and jn g short time would have been forever lost, and had It returned to its proper place, He {a the safe, sane and logical man to head the Masonie fraternity In Mis- sourl during: the ensuingy year, Haw Huilded for Himself, VYiof, Cole has made ample provis- ion for that proverbal rainy day, He owns a beautiful home on Vine street In Kansas City, besides other prop- eity, and ulso has a comfortable bank account. He has always urged his people to save thelr earnings and Place it where they would be benefit- ted thereby, and has set the example himself, The race needs more men like Prof, Cole and we whould ever keep him In the forefront.

LEWIS. PLEASES TIPEAMS bad the pleasure of entertaining one of the nation's most distinguished amen, Hon, W. H, Lewis, g member of President Taft's official family and holder of the highest official position ever tendered one of his race. Like a potentate he whirled inte the city, and wag me; at the depot by a committee comprising g dozen co)- ored business and professional men and Geo, W. Jackson's Twenty-third Regimental band, which acted as an escort from the depot to the park, where he delivered an able address, Hie Life’s story reads like a ro- mance, and Ia\told in the following graphle description by The Topeka State Journal: “W. H, Lewis of Boston, ex-football star and present assistant attorney generat of the United States, has been the guest of James Guy of Topeke, and left for Washington Friday after- noon. He spoke a¢ the celebration in Jackson park August 1, and is leav- Ing many warm friends in Topeka. Mr. Lewis holds the highest official Position of any of his race, and is one of the country's foramost orators. The stories that hover arund his mag- nificient college record have endeared him to old and young. H is genial, kindly and of a splendid physique. " When his photagraph wag request- ed, the assistant attorney general chuckled, “Oh, I'm too modest to ‘carry a picture of myself,” he insist- ed. “I might tell you, though, that, Tye been taken for Booker T, Wash. inrton, and also for Jack Johnson. Isn't that as good as g photograph? At a northern hotel, the report spread that I was Jack Johnson. I can telt you I had all the attention that wag necessary.” In giving a brief sketch of his life, Mr, Lewis said: “JT was born in Berkeley, Va, and went to school in Portsmouth, across the river. 1 can remember distinctly a teacher whom we called Old Man Montague; he taught sme many pages of the constitution.” “Wasn't that what he bad boys hag to learn?” the reporter queried, Mr, Lewis assented. “I never was u grind,” he admitted. “Later I attended the normal school in Peteraburgh,” he went on, “and prepared myself for Amherst college, where I was graduated in 1892, I've just been back to my twenticth class reunion, You know J played football; 1 was captain the last'year, Here's a watch the boys gave me,” Mr. Lewis produced a stunning gold watch bearing the neat inscription; ‘Presented to W, H. Lewis by the students of Amherst college.” He Is, sxceptionally loath to praise himself, and said nothing of his brillisnt foot- pall career; Amherst still boasts of ls kicks, Strong for Football. “Herbert and George Pratt, con® of the Standard Oil millionaire, were inder me In team work,” he contin- ied. “I'm for foatball in our colleges. t's the greates, sport In the world. f you don’t put your energy In ath- etics, you're nay going to put It in | rrinding; plenty of mischief for a ollege boy to do, and foatball keeps im out of it, 1 was class orator in ny senior year at Amherst, and won| he Hardy prize debate and the Hyde} s rize oration, It waa just luck thag U ‘ xppened to xo to Amherst; Senator foar of Massachusetts sent Jackson, friend of mine, and § decides that} “ yhere Jackson went, I'd fo, too.}\ Jext I drifted down to Cambridge,| , nd studied law for three years at} | larvard, J played on the team, and aven't missed 2 Harvard-Yale game} ‘ or twenty years, I coached the team| t or.several years after graduation.” | ¢ Agein he made no mention of his] 4 lays that put the mammoth stadium}! na frenzy of exeitement; that court-|t d the apertastiog: enmity of Yale, and ¢ Stas . i ee id a a of is Ra a cael ir er og A ms a ia HON, CHAS, CURTIS, Chatce of Kansas Republicans for United Strtes Senator sent the Harvard giants into ecsba- cles of exulation. y “Next thing I dig was to get wnt tied,” he confided. “My wife w to Wellesley college, and my thi children are being educated in Swi erland. Ay How He Got Into Politica. vi “I began practicing law immediat¢- ly, but soon got Into politics, One night after a Harvard-Yale gam§ 6 neighbor of mine came to me ajid asked me to run for city council for the white district. I was feeling ina pretty good humor and accepted,/4,1 was lected for three successive terms, and spent one year in the legislature in 1902, It was lots, of fun. A good experience for a youn lawyer.

This is an, a1 life to lead.” HH Notwithstanding the rigor of hif life, Lewis locks hale, hearty, att particularly opmistic, Treated Well in Topeka. “Wve had a splendid time in To- peka,” he graciously declared. “Ev- erybody treated me well. I'm pleased and impressed with the town, and feel gratified at the amicable relations existing between the white and the colored people, I wish every place weit &g good ag Kansas.” " Lewin’ speech in Jackson park at the celebration of the fiftieth anniver- rary of the signing of the emancipa- tion proclamation was well received. Topeha was in luck to have auchra dintinguivhed orator on such a day, Colored people crowded the park in order to hear his address, Lewis opened with an eulogy on the! Sunflower state, and quoted Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who said: ‘If 1 did not live in Massachuseetts I would prefer to live in Kansas."\ He! Senator Charles Curtis has been}! nominated by the Republican, of Kan- | ¢ sas to succeed himaelf in the United ‘ States Senate, t So far as the Republican party li|¢ concerned, the matte: does not rest |f with the candidate curring the largest | ® numbr of Segislative ang senatorial ‘ districts, but with the popular sote|, cast Ly members of the party. While | ¢) the count is not complete, Senator |t! Curtis has the largest popular vote, |b and being the only candidate of thei Republican party on the ticket he is|d therefore the regular and legitimate | F nominee of the party he has sq ably jt; sald he could not forget that Kansas rendered to deathless fame “the sotd- jer and martyr, John Brown, one of the truest frlends of human freedom that God has given to man,” / He Is for Curtis, | After speaking cordially of “the great senator in Washington” who In- vited him to Kansas, and the “good, bighearted, broadminded, and liberal president of the United States,” Lewis touched upon modern and an- clent slavery, and said: “The bondage of Israel today is only an epic poem, The Greek alave adorns simply some palace of art. The Sersi of Rome instructed the masters of the world, The race call- ed Anglo-Saxons once graced the tri- umph of the Imperial Ceasars, Ser- vitude did not cease in France until the revolution. Before the time of Frederick the Great a German might have been brought in the market place, The place of human race has long since passed that stage in its develop- ment. I count it no disgrace nor de- gradation, only a great misfortune that my ancestors for a few genera- tions were held slaves. 1 cannot and will not allow that that fact places the slightest restraint or limitation upon my rights and duties as a man and citizen, nop in my ambition to ris inthe rervine of God and coun- try. Nor will I ever consent to the view that she colored race in this country shall accept an inferior cast or political status because of a his- tory no different from that of other men, At the same time I do not cherish the slightest feeling or ill will towards my countrymen, who, be- cause of their experience and environ- ment, cherish a different view.” An Eloquent Speaker. Lewis’ view of the political situa- tion Is cheerful, and his conclusion was as follows: “I believe that our country, the na- tion and the state will be able to meet the great social questions of today and solve them Just as the other na- tions of the world are doing, And more I believe that we shall go furth- er and shall show the world how peo- ple of many races and total dissimi- lar races may live together upon the same soil with just and beneficient laws, cach working together for the good of all, improving their social and industrial status, solving the prob- lems of democracy; thue producing (Continued on Page 8.) remceented and defended in the hally of congress, Mr, Stubbs has declared for Rooses velt, and win, lose or diaw, he intends to be a candidate for United States Senator at the regular election; there- foie the Republican party shoufd not submit to to the legislative district dodge, Senator Curtis has received the popular verdict of his party, they have declared by tMelr votes that they want him to make the race at the general election, and he should be placed on the ticket.

PEARL LEET. Daughter of Rev, William Martin of This City. Mrs. Pearl Leet was born in Dickerson county, Tenn., Oct. 11, 1882, aged thirty years. She professed a hope in Christ when about twelve or thirteen years of age. She moved to Kansas in 1898. She was baptized by Rev. T. H. Ewing, pastor of the Vine St. Baptist church, Kansas City, Mo., where she became a good and faithful member for some time. She afterward moved to Edwardville, Kans., in 1905, and became a member of the First Baptist church of Bonner Springs, under the pastorate of Rev. Brooks, and there she continued a faithful member until her death. During her Christian career she always delighted in attending church and doing her duty in the service of the Lord, and at all times tried to show her Christian influence in the community in which she lived. She died at 2:15 p. m., Monday, July 15th, 1912, in the full triumph of the faith. As her family and friends were weeping around her bed a few days before her death she said to them: "Oh, be quiet; He is not going to take me from you now. I will be with you a while longer—a few hours or maybe three days. But if I go now I have prayed long ago for this hour. The Lord is my Shepard and I shall not want, and now I am just waiting for Him. I have given up everything—not worrying over anything." Afterwards she rehearsed a passage of scripture in the 14th chapter of Job, saying: "When a man dies he shall live again. All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come." Afterwards she sang "There is Some One Waiting at the Beautiful Gate;" "What Ship is That Sailing in the Beautiful Land!" and at three o'clock she sang the old familiar song "We are Tossed and Driven on the Restless Sea of Time" and said three times: "All is well." She leaves a husband, a son, two daughters. father and a host of dear friends to mourn her loss, who parted with this injunction: "Farewell, Sister Leet; we will meet you again in the sweet by and by in the sweet realms above away beyond those starry skies."

The time and the man are at hand, and Lancoln’s warning to the people to le on their guaig against him should ring from every housetop before ig is too late.

So, you see, that there must he romething terrible going to happen when the old rebel state of Tennes- jxce hangs two white men for the murder of thice colored peuple, and those of the citizens of this nation who profess a hope In the future should rejoice that the days of their Journey are nearing g close, and those who are set on the outside of the cir- «le of eternal life should get buay with their knees in sack cloth and ashes, fog thelr days are but few and full of troubles, But we congrat- ulate the offers of the law in Tcn- nessee and the citizens in general for the spirit of justice shown In this in+ stanee and hope and trust that the spirit will live and grow and spread ont over the land until lawlessness In the form of lynching, burning and othér forms of barharity shall have been banished from the land; when colored men accused of crime will be vivert a fair trial and justice render- of In accordance with the evidence produced, and then can we truthfully and honestly say that Americn is fee, Blessed be the day when it aan GRAND PATHER CLAUSE NO BAR LO ORL VMOMA BLACKS, ithe Unit"d States Election Commis | aion Has Orderid to Protect Col ored Voters in ‘Their Rights, | Eiitor, Topeka Phandcalert P Accourt of your Mage citculation ‘in Oklchoma ail fos ether leasons [Tum endosing atticle from the “Pal: isa Daily World” “The telegram that Torevenved wae tn reply te a etter bat FE wrote fats 18th, 1012, to Presi- deat ‘Lattant Attorney General Wakersham, asking that mmmcdhate action be Gthen whereby the Nescroes of Oklahoma might be enabled to rege ister withent subriitting to the gaand- fatter chute.

The meeting most successful in the history of the Congress from every point of view. Members delighted with Twin Cities. The third annual session of the Negro National Educational Congress was held in St. Paul from July 15 to 19, inclusive and has passed into history. Despite the knocks both from within and without the city, it proved to be everything else than what its opposers declared it to be. The opposition caused the attendance to fail to come up to the expectation of its promoters and supporters, but those who were in attendance proved to be very fine representatives of the brainiest and most eloquent men and women of the race. And while a few of the well known leaders, of thought and action, did not grace the occasion with their presence or lend it their aid and support those who were here, proved, to all who heard them, that there are others who are just as worthy of consideration. There were over one hundred delegates present and among them were: Rev. John J. Smallwood, Rev. R. H. Bowling, Prof. J. S. Lee, Editor P. B. Young and Dr. C. S. Morris of Virginia; Mrs. Julia Embry, Colorado; C. J. Walker, Indiana; Atty W. H. Harrison, Oklahoma; J. Silas Harris, and H. R. Graham, Missouri; Rev. J. C. Taylor, Ohio; Prof. A. W. Nicholson, New Jersey; Rev. Jas. Mason, Rev. W. H. Gray, Illinois and others who stand for something in the communities in which they live. Three sessions of the Congress were held daily at the Old Capitol and all were well attended and full of interest. There were numerous social courtesies extended to the delegates and visitors but the principal social function was the reception and entertainment held at the Auditorium on Tuesday evening. There were about 500 present on that occasion and the scene with all the boxes filled with handsomely gowned ladies and gallant gentlemen and hundreds in the parquet and balconies was a scene that was inspiring in the extreme. The audience was late arriving and the program which was very fine in every particular was not completed until nearly midnight yet the audience was good natured and the people did not get very nervous. The program was as follows: J. Silas Harris, Prasiding. J. Silas Harris, Presiding. Overture.....McCullough Orchestra Introduction.....Rev. A. H. Lealtad Piano Solo—Concert Etude Op. 36— E. A.

Mme. McCullough's orchestra proceeded to furnish splendid music and the devotees of terpsichore enjoyed themselves for two hours when Home Sweet Home swelled up on the air and the guests proceeded to repair to their taxies and were shortly whirled to their several homes after a most splendid evening's entertainment. It will be well to remark that the addresses of each of the gentlemen on the program were soul inspiring and were heartily applauded throughout. The other numbers were artistic in the extreme and pleased every one immensely. Evening sessions of both Monday and Wednesday evenings were well attended and excellent programs were furnished by the visitors and local talent. Thursday the election of officers for the ensuing the year was held with the following results: J. Silas Harris, Kansas, president. Rev. J. J. Smallwood, Claremont vice president-at-large. Mrs. Julia Embry, Colorado Springs. T. H. Lyles, St. Paul, treasurer. Dra. O. D. Howard and Valdo Turner, medical directors. J. W. Robinsor, St. Albans, W. V., statistician. W. H. Harrison, Oklahoma City, chairman executive committee. Rev. J. C. Taylor, Toledo, Ohio, musical director. Miss Marie Burgette, Milwaukee, Wis., official stenographer. Claremont, Va., was selected as the place for holding the Congress next year. Thursday afternoon the Congress held its session at Minnehaha Park, Minneapolis, at an outing arranged by the people of the "Flour City." It was a very enjoyable affair. The following program was carried out Rev. C. H. Thomas of Madison, Wins acting as master of ceremonies: Invocation . . . Rev. J. S. Strong Address . . . Prof. H. L. McCrorey Address . . . Miss Julia C. Frazier Singing . "My Country Tl. of Thee" Address . . . Rev. W. Harlee Address . . . Rev. J. J. Smallwood Address . . . Dr. M. L. Baldwin Address . . . R. F. Gross Address . . . C.

After the exercises the ladies served refreshments to all. An excellent audience that tested the capacity of the hall was present and the various numbers on the program were warmly received. Minneapolis did herself proud. Friday much routine work was done in the winding up of the business of the Congress. Upon invitation of Governor Eberhart the Congress visited the Capitol in a body and gathered in the magnificent reception room of the Governor. Dr. Charles S. Morris made the address and he outdid himself in his impassioned cloquence. The Governor most fittingly and feelingly responded and then cordially greeted all with a hearty handshake. At the afternoon session the local committee made its report which was so satisfactory that a rising vote of thanks was extended by the Congress. The finance committee of the Congress also made its report which was also approved. It is safe to say that the Congress made a very favorable impression upon the people of St. Paul who attended its sessions, which were conducted with ability throughout, and it harmonious and intelligent actions are a refutation of the malicious imputations which have been placed upon it. While there may have been some disappointments the work of the Congress has wrought much good for the race. Mollie Mae Aldridge, HUNTS DALE, MO.
