Washin of Tuskegee, Ta Horse Sense t a.d Stud invitation of the local Negro Business League, the President of the National Negro Business League and the great Negro educator, Booker T. Washington, arrived in the city on Wednesday morning, March 4th and was met by a large committee from the local branch. Filling three large touring tins, they were quickly off to Kansas City, where they visited Dogglass Hospital, which in its remodeled beauty, stands as a monument to the lamented Bishop Grant, the idol of this district; from there they hastened to Sumner High school, Pro., J. M. Marquess, principal, where Mr. Washington greeted the student body and made brief remarks standing in the machine. From there they healed for Quindaro, where the party was met by the student band playing, "Hail to the Chief." They hurledly visited, for Mr. Weaver, the president of the local League in his business like manner, made things move in a hurry and utilized every moment of the time; viewing the New Ward Hall, which stands upon the site of the former building which fire destroyed two years ago, with its magnificent auditorium, dining room and kitchen, class rooms, etc. Also passing the old land-mark, the splendid monument of old John Brawn, he of Kansas, whom they had erected by the Fifth Episcopal district of the great A. M. E. church, under the guidance of Bishop Grant. With hand leading the party, they returned to the grouped buildings and looked in on the regular class work going on, seeing the student body diligently at work in the various departments. Passing to the chapel which was crowded to its capacity, they listened to a short but masterly address by Dr. Washington. The Choral Society rendered severallections, classical as well as the songs of our race. A splendid luncheon was served the fourteen members of the party by the young ladies of the domestic science department, under Miss Katharine Davis, head of the department. The party was composed of the following: Dr. Washington and secretary, Mr. Hunt, Drs. Unthank, Dible, Smith, Prof. J. D. Bowser, C. H. Cailoway, Editor Nelson C. Crews, Mr. Hopkins, E. E. Vaughan, Revs. W. H. Thomas, J. R. Ransom, A. E. Eies, Dr. S. H. Thompson in his new Studebaker car carried the Kansas representatives and Rev. J. R. Ransom and Rev. J. C. C. Ownts representing the A M. E. church in connection with the school. The following is the address of Mr. Washington as stenographically reported by the students of the commercial department of Western University. President Kealing, Members of the Teaching Body and Student Body: Mr. Weaver has just whispered in my ear to the effect that I must speak to you only five minutes. Now I regret this because it has been seldom my privilege to look into the fares of as fine a set of boys and girls as I find here this morning. I should be tempted to talk to you as long as I could. The longer I talk, the less studying you will have to do. I have known your President for a number of years, knew him before he came to Kansas, knew him in Texas and other parts of the South and North, and I have known him only to admire him, and I congratulate you, that you have such a man as this at the head of your institution; and I congratulate the people of Kansas and this part of the country that they are so fortunate in having Mr. Kealing at the head of this institution. Some months ago when Bishop Grant passed away, it was ours to select someone to take his place on the Jeanes Fund Board of education. The sum of one million dollars was left by a good old woman in Philadelphia. delphia some years ago for the education of the Negro in the South. We searched the country over to find someone of our race to take this place and we settled upon Mr. Kealing, and he was unanimously elected. So I congratulate you upon having such an able man as your head and leader. I am glad to hear the beautiful songs, not only the classical song but but to hear with how much cuteness you sang the last song, and I hope that in no part of this country will our race forget the songs created by our mothers and fathers, and I hope more in the future than in the past that in every institution of learning of our race, but in all the country, not only more time would be given to songs created by us, but to the history of our people. It is indeed true that many of our own race go to institutions where they study the history of all races, history of Jews, history of Greeks, history of Germans, but never study the history of our own race. You can devote a good part of the month to hear with how much earnestness race. There are many in this form who have begun at the bottom in business, in education, in church, who have begun in poverty and in many cases have gradually struggled upward, who have grown just as popular and just as worthy of trust as some of those older fellows who lived thousands of years ago. Now before I depart from you let me impress upon you this one word. When you return home, do not be ashamed of your mothers and fathers. Mary of you come from the country timidadd emfw mfwy inf ywnwfy z don't you? Huh? Huh? Don't be as ashamed speak up You speak annual. Many of you come from the country, out in the sticks don't you? Huh? Huh? Don't be as ashamed. I want you girls and boys that come from the country away out from the railroad to be just as proud as those that come from under the glaze of the electric lights. Those of you who live in the country are better off than those in the city, because you own your own property on which you live and those in the city live on property owned by someone else. When you go back home your people are going to expect great things. They have heard that you have an education, and expect you to show signs of it as soon as you get back home. They are expecting big things of you. I want you to disappoint them in two directions. They expect you to show it in the way you talk. Using a language which you or no one else knows anything about. If you want to show them that you have an education, be the most simple person in the community. When you talk, use the shortest words that you can get hold of in the English language. You must talk in a way that everyone can understand you. When they expect you to show signs of the big head, you show signs of the little head. You show signs that education has taught you to be of service to the humbleest and to the poorest in the community in which you live. Many of you are studying chemistry aren't you? You know chemistry is a peculiar thing which is of no value unless you are going to use it. When you left home there had not been any paint on the outside of the house for one or perhaps five or ten years. You remember how the house looked. It is look-just like that now. This is how you use that chemistry. When you go home, way to your mother and father, I have been studying chemistry and I am going to use my chemistry by mixing paint or whitewash and painting or a coat as it will beautify the home as it has never been before. Do not commerce anything unless you are going to use it when TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 13, 1914 you get back home, where you can put into practice the knowledge you have received. Many of you are studying mechanical art. It is of no value unless you are going to use it. You know when you left home, part of the palings were off the front fence. You remembered that from time to time when you tried to go through the gate which hung on one hinge. That gate is waiting for you to come back home. You remember some of the rooms in the house, when you tried to go in the door and caught hold of the knob. What happened? The knob fell off. Didn't it? It is waiting for you to go back home. Use your mechanical art in building up and beautifying the community in which you live. My friends that means service, education, practice and culture for the entire race. I congratulate all of you, teachers and students, boys and girls that are grasping all the knowledge in your power; that you have such a glorious opportunity at this present day. Get all the knowledge that you can, and use it in some way in your home or community, put it into practice for the glory of God and to the service of man. MEN AND MEASURES. Mr. Editor of The Southern Christian Recorder: I fear that my silence through the columns of our church papers has been misunderstood. I do about eighteen months I have held my peace, not because I have not been watching the progress that our church and race has been making, but I have been adjusting myself to the new duties that come to the pastorate of a church. For, after thirteen years without a break as presiding elder in my conference; and how well I have succeeded in that capacity, ask the Kansas Conference and the four Bishops under whom it was my privilege to serve, and I want my friends to know that I have not been a failure in the pastorate of the First A. M. E. church at Kansas City, Kansas, for in the past seventeen months I have received into the church three hundred and eighty-seven members. Have just closed a revival meeting which resulted in one hundred and thirty-two converts and joiners; cancled every obligation that the church had upon it, even a Church Extension debt of many years standing, and preach to a crowded house every Subbath morning and evening. Our church runs smoothly as an oiled machine. While we do not attempt to name the leading men of our ministry and say who shall be in the race for the bishopric or for General conference officers or who shall not, I want to inform my good friend, Dr. J. G. Robertson that he and I went up Salt River on the same steamer from the last General conference at Kansas City. Mo., and we came back together. And because I have not been blowing a trumpet and beating the brush as some others, is no sign that I was stranded and left up there. I will God willing, be at the next General conference and if my brethren of the Kansas Conference whom I have served unselfishly for twenty-six years without a break says so, I will be a member of that body of church law makers and if I am not elected by that General conference, I want Brio. Robertson not to forget that I will have a say about who is elected bishops and General officers. We live in an age that does not ask a man where he comes from not what school he matriculated in, but what does he know and what can he do and for what does he stand. For what is education anyhow, but the drawing out and developing of one's best nature? The awakening of one's greater powers and the putting them to the best use in the service of God and humanity. I spent my first four years in my mother conference, Tennessee, where I built four churches and paid for them; twenty-six years in Kansas Conference where I have built four churches and one personage, and paid for them, except upon church and parsonage at Parsons, Kansas. That cost us $6,500. We left a debt of one thousand dollars ($1000.1 Oh! If there is any line of work in the ministry that I do enjoy and have felt the happiest over it is in the pastage, but wherever and whatever my church and Bishon has called me to do. I have gone forth with a glad heart and done it. And if it has not been done well, let them speak out. I have handled more than thirty thousand dollars ($30,000,00) of the church's money in the past twelve months and have correctly kept the books, and truthfully accounted for every dollar of it, and made reports to every Annual Conference in the Fifth Episcopal District. If it was ever done before, I do not know of it. You need not fear—the West will be heard from and we will not allow those remote from us to name those who shall represent us. Don't forget, we belong to that gang which can and will come back, and remember that none who were a party to that ungodly, unchristianly and unmanly trick to get the writer to stand up under a hurried-up request to write a resolution—when the writer requested the Secretary to turn the resolution back so the writer might rewrite it, and punctuate and correctly spell each word. But was told by the Secretary "not to mind that as he would read it correctly and was going to typewrite it all navy." So he or some one went down in the city, had the writing photographed and went about exhibiting it to the delegates asking them. "Is that the sort of man you are going to make Financial Secretary?" And with that method of procedure the writer got the next highest vote that was cast for financial Secretary anyhow, and again the writer spent no money in any effort to be elected. The writer does not not do he contemplate at this writing that he will be an aspirant for Financial Secretary, but he does say that he will be there and will be heard from. My many friends from all parts of the church have been writing me to know why I ceased to contribute an occasional letter to our church papers and give my consent that they should advocate my exaltation at the next General conference. But I have said, "wait!" But the time has come for us all to speak out. The church of today needs men; men of purity, men full of grace and sympathy for their brethren, men who know how to get out in the rural districts and get down in the trenches with their brother ministers. Men who have a pleasant smile and kind words for the laymen, when and wherever they meet them. Men who are honest with their church's business and money, and who will work just as hard for the church's success and savings as they would for their own. These are the kind of men the church needs for General conference officers and bishops. J. R. BANSOM.

The solving of the race problem rests on heavy on the northern as it does on the southern colored man. We must as a race of people, learn to comply with each others desire.

One of the greatest programs rendered since the organization of the Forum was given Sunday, March 1, when the Hon. Mr. Blakemore delivered an address on "True citizenship. He took the audience with him step by step, beginning the training in infancy and on through, until the matured age of man and womanhood. Mr. Blakemore comes to highly recompensed as Wichita's leading lawyer. He placed great emphasis on the moral and educational training for true citizenship, which are the two greatest necessities for a substantial government. Would that we had more like the young lawyer. Instructions along these lines will long remain in the hearts of the Hutchinson people. Master Loyd Tyler and Perry Johnson, very widely regarded as a piano duet which was highly appreciated. Mr. Isaac Butler presented the form with a paveo, which he made him of in the manual training department in High school.

My Very Dear Friends: I address you as friends because of your neatness to me, and the inspiration you have given me in my efforts to save the critical public. For more than two years I have been in the clothing business, and I must say that the patronage, compliments and water handshakes I have received from hardships of satisfied and well phased of towns has made the past two years the most joyful of my life, so I think at my dity to let the people, who want to save money know what I am doing, so I what I can do for them. CLEANING, PRESSING, DYEING I clean, press, dye, clothure and hats; allow me to say right here that my method of cleaning what feather UNIQUE CLEANERS and white kid gloves to the very best, and gives excellent results.

REST. The funeral of Mrs. Edna Cantrell Dandridge was held last Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Third Baptist church, the Rev. J. M. Brown of Saint John A. M. E. church officiating. The church was packed to suffocation and yet there were as many people on the outside who could not gain admittance. (The choir from Brown chapel, A. M. E. church conducted the singing. As the funeral processional was being read by Rev. G. W. Henry of the Second Baptist church the choir, in low sweet tones, sang "Nearest My God to Thee." Rev. B. R. Ross of Brown chapel, A. M. E. church read the scripture lesson and Rev. Milton offered prayer. Rev. J. M. Brown selected the 11th verse of the 16th Psalms as a text and his subject was "The Fullness of Joy." and his words were full of hope and comfort for the living and the dead. The floral offerings were most profuse and beautiful in the extreme, coming from friends, white and colored, the intrinsic value of same being close to $250. No such floral offering is remembered among our people, and here it is proper to say that all the flowers came not after death. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Stonefleet & Son and were perfect in operation. The following obituary prepared by Mr. John M. Dosey, was read by Rev. G. W. Henry: Edna Cantrell Dandridge. Edna Cantrell Dandridge. Edna May Cantrell was born in this city May 21, 1913, and died March 5th, 1914, at 1:45 o'clock p.m. aged twenty years, nine months, fourteen days. She was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Cantrell, the latter having gone to her Maker in 1995, when Edna was in her third year, and her knowledge of mother was received from her elder sister, Mrs. Alice Buford, whose motherly care and sisterly love combined made in everlasting impression upon the mind of the child and she has never known the want of care and attention. Several years ago Mrs. Buford moved to Chicago and here it was that Edna was converted to an abiding faith in the efficacy of the blood of Jesus and was baptized about even years ago by Rev. Knight, pastor of the Friendship Baptist church of Chicago. Shortly after this Edna returned to Topeka and made her home with another sister, Mrs. Fannie Douglas, and here graduated in the eighth grade from Lincoln school. She entered High school, but was injured in her left side while participating in gymnastic exercises and was forced to give up further studies. Later, however, she undertook a course in trained nursing at the Old General hospital at Kansas City, but was forced to give up on account of failing health. In December, 1912, she contracted a severe cold, from which she never recovered. During the last illness and death of her father, the late Allen Cantrell, less than three months ago, she would neither eat nor sleep and refused to be comforted, and in her weakened condition became an easy victim to disease. On April 2, 1913, Edna May Cantrell was united in the bonds of holy wedlock to Mr. Harry Dandridge, second son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dandridge, one of the finest young men in the city, and prospects for future happiness seemed too indeed, but alas! so short, for the Grim Reaper stretched forth his key hand and fanned the breeze that wafted he soul into the arms of Jesus, as was borne out in the last words and testimony of this lily of the valley in earth's garden, for while surrounded by her husband, sisters, other relatives and friends, she bade them weep not, and said that she was falling asleep in the arms of the Savior fully assured that she was entering the realms of God's kingdom, and with His angles to dwell forevermore. Miss. Dandridge has been a faithful and devoted member of the Third Baptist church of this city since her return from Chicago. She leaves a kind, loving husband, four devoted sisters and three fond brothers, other relatives and a host of admiring friends to mourn her only demise, and though she is no more with them in person, she will ever be remembered as a lovely, kindly woman, one of the fairest flowers in the garden of life. I know not where thy road may lie which was the pay line If some will walk through purchasing round. Yet "God keeps watch 'tween thee and me." So, never fear. He holds thy hand, He claspeth mine, And keeps us near. Should wealth and fame perchance be thine. of and were the hite of such song to not greet them by in need of him, thus, that well, that idle werely inde the And my lot lowly be, Or you be sad and sorrowful, And glory be for me, Yet "God keeps watch 'tween thee and me." Both be His care. One arm 'round thee and one arm 'round me Will keep us near. I'll sigh sometimes to see thy face, But since this cannot be, I'll leave thee to the care of Him Who cares for thee and me. "I'll keep thee both beneath My wings." This comforter, dear, One wing o'r thee and one o'er me. So we are near. And though our paths be separate And thy why is not mine Yet, coming to the mercy seat My soul will meet with thine, And "God keeps watch 'tween thee and me." I'll whisper there He blesseth thee. He blesseth me. And we are near.—Julia A. Baker. Church Notes. SAINT JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH (By Church Staff.) "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord," seemed to be the sentiment of the many that worshipped at Saint John Sunday. This being the second quarterly meeting Presiding Elder J. W. Wilson was present and at 11:00 o'clock in his usual pleasing manner delivered a soul stirring sermon to the delight of his hearers. At 3 o'clock the holy sactament was administered to all communicants and many parook of the same. Presiding Eldr. Wilson again preached a sermon full of spiritual enthusiasm. Pastor Brown delivered an excellent sermon at 8 o'clock. Special music was furnished by the chorus. Great was the love feast and class meeting on Friday night. Rev. Reeves, the popular A. M. L. evangelist of Hutchinson and Rev. Ross, of Brown's chapel were present and assisted Pastor Brown. The spirited singing and words of inspiration coming from these two brethren were enjoyed by all. Come to the class meeting on Friday night. You will be benefitted. Quarterly conference was held on Monday night, Presiding Elder J. W. Wilson presiding. All reports were above the average. A grand total of over $800 was raised during the quarter. This speaks well for Saint John. "The Tight is On" at Saint John and the two Captains, Bros. Barker and Blackwell are determined to lead their forces to success. Which side are you on? Stand by your captain. Both are excellent gentlemen. The W. M.

This motto has made great success along all lines of finance and has increased its membership as well. Mr. G. B. Surpa made a short address last Sunday following the pastor's sermon. He said that the trustees had done better this conference year than they had for years. That they had passed over four hundred dollars and applied on church in delittee and expenses. Mr. Tupu is the officer chart man of the trustee board. Assbury has one of the best, in all of stewards in the Lincoln Conference. They have paid the pastor's salary of $750 and cut fifty dollars which they will settle by the setting of the conference the first of April. The annual services for the conference year will be held the last Sunday in March. Preparations are being made to make sure the greatest occasion in the history of the church. Several ministers of the city and laymen will appear on the program. The friends of the church have a general invitation. Mesdames Rutherford and Smith leaders of class number two and four, respectively have tied in their class reports for the past two weeks.

PLAIN STATEMENT Having at various times read state ments in the daily papers relative to attacks upon white servant by Nigro men in Top ka, I took that this is a characteristic slap at the race of this state—especially in the capital city. I will volunteer to move or twenty or more men, let them white or black, to give two dollars each for the arrest and conviction of such Negroes who commit such fences. W. A. BRADEN.
