The AMERICAN WOODMEN CELEBRATE WHITE A GREAT BUILDER Half Million Dollar Insurance Company the Product of a Great Mind. (By MATTIE A. PERKINS.) The annual reception of the American Woodmen was given Monday evening, May 13 at Ebenezer A. M. E. church at 8 o'clock. Mr. L. D. Hines acted as master of ceremonies. Prayer was offered by the pastor, Rev. W. T. Oborne. A splendid welcome address was delivered by Mr. C. A. Franklin. Mr. Chas. Astwood then made an earnest appeal to friends in behalf of the American Woodmen. He is a natural born orator, and his talk elicited much comment. After he had finished, he introduced the principal speaker of the evening, Hon. C. M. White, who spoke enthusiastically about three quarters of an hour on the "War and Its Relation to the Colored People." Throughout his talk, he urged our people to get together, because if there is a time that a people should, he together it is now. He too believes that God started this war, and that in the end, will enable mothers, sisters and wives to see their loved ones comming home from war with crowns of victory. They will demand more rights for liberty. We as a race are sure justice here of justice in heaven. Education, wealth and apparel makes us dissatisfied with conditions. Mr. White has great love for music; but his love for the typewriter is greater. It give him great pleasure to see the nimble fingers of the boys and girls of our race playing on the keys of the writing machine. His lecture is one to be long remembered. Mr. White spent Monday visiting the schools of Kansas City, and giving inspiration of hope to the boys and girls of that section. He is direct from his tuor of the Eastern cities, where the American Woodmen are having overwhelming success. Mr. White is the head of the largest Negro business in the world. He is the supreme commander of the American Woodmen, an institution that is giving employment to more people of our race, than any other institution operated by the colored people. He is one of the best traveled men in America and is doing great work for the uplift of his race. He left Monday night for Ft. Smith, Ark., and other points in the South. The American Woodmen was organized in Denver, Colo., in 1901; by men who have given practically all their lives to the study of fraternal insurances It is one of the greatest institutions in the country; having $250,000 for the protection of policy holders; $500,000 paid as benefits $40,000,000 M.

Astwood is one of the leading insurance men of our race. He is deputy in Kansas City, Mo. for the American Woodmen, and 's doing great work. Mr. Astwood is wide awake, and enthusiastic young man. The insurance work seems to be his calling. Let all of Kansas City cater to Mr. Astwood and assist him in his new field. Mr. Banks is causing many good things to take place in the state of Kansas. He is employing young men as deputies who are drawing good salaries. Mr. Banks is that silver tongued orator, who when he has finished one of his grand lectures, receives many voluntary applicants to this great institution. Mr. Banks has openings for six good men, for deputies, who are willing to work, for a good salary. All mileage paid. Write him at 436 Minnesota Ave, Kansas City, Kansas. Topeka Plaindealer M. H. HON. C. M. WHITE, Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen..In Kansas City on His Official Visit. Mr. Banks KANSAS CITY GIVES SECRETARY SCOTT A ROYAL WELCOME Mr. K. Pinkston Tells of Secretary Scott's Royal Welcome. The visit of Hon. Emmett J. Crott to Kansas City, Saturday of last week was an incident long to be remembered in the upward climb of colored America, and no history of Kansas City and the great West would be complete without recording this important event. Mr. Scott who is special assistant to the Secretary of War, arrived in Kansas City Saturday from Camp Dodge, Iowa, en route to Camp Funston. Riding in their twenty-five high priced automobiles (every car owned by a colored man) a committee met the honored guest at the depot and he alighted from the train amidst the waving of flags and enthusiastic cheering. Secretary Scott was immediately escorted to the home of Dr. Dibble, where he was a guest until he departed for Camp Funston. He greeted the committee with a cordial handshake, after which they dispersed. At 8'clock hundreds of people assembled at the Lincoln High school where a reception was tendered the distinguished American official by the public, after which a banquet was served. Covers were laid for over two hundred, and men representing every trade and vocation were among that number. Dr. S. H. Thompson presided at the meeting and three minute talks were made by the following: Attorney Chas Calloway, Mr. J. H. Perry, Prof. G. A. Page and Editor Nelson Crowd, of Kansas City, Mo., and Prof. D. L. Buster, Mr. P. W. Love and Rev. D. A. Holmes, of Kansas City, Kan., Capt Bucklew, (white) commander of activities at Camp Pumpston. Dr. A. M. Curtis, of Washington, D. C., who accompanied Mr. Scott on his trip, followed on the program and spoke at length. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, guest of honor and principal speaker of the evening, addressed the assembly for about one hour and a half. He said in part that we as colored people must not expect too much from him as he is tackling no boys' job. He said that he had especially assisted in placing different colored segments in cantonments where it would cause less contention and friction. He also paid a high tribute to the ladies who served. The assembly adjourned at 12:30 On Sunday there was a continuation of the parade, the like of which was never before witnessed in Kansas City, stopping at every important church in the two Kansas Cities where Mr. Scott addressed the different congregations YALE, KANSAS.

PECK IS PRESIDENT Scholarly Topekan Will Head Western University. The board of Trustees of Western University, at their annual meeting Wednesday, elected Dr. F. Jesse Peck, president of that institution to succeed the late Dr. H. T. Kealing. The election of the brilliant Topekan showed wisdom and means that the school will grow and prosper. It has always been the custom to send to the backwoods of Missouri or to the Southland, the home of ignorance and superstition to select a head for this school, and the present board is to be congratulated. It is a Kansas institution, built and maintained by Kansas money, and our educators should be given consideration over all others. The Tupeka Plaindealer is against anything other than Kansas for those institutions. We have the timber and it should be utilized LEXINGTON, MI6BOURI.

Succumbing to injuries received when he fell from a third-story window of his apartments to the sidewalk below, Saturday, night, Phil Waters, aged 47, for 15 years assistant clerk of the supreme court of appeals, died last night at a local hospital. Phillip Henry Waters, born at Leesburg, Va., August 22, 1870, was the best known man of his race in West Virginia and one of the best known in the country. He held public position continuously since his appointment to a clerkship in 1897. Prior to that time he had served as librarian of the house of delegates. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan, from which he received the degree of bachelor of laws in 1895. He was also a graduate of Morgan college and, previously a student at Howard Waters was the first notary public of color to be appointed in the state and was several times clerk of the committee on finance and taxation on one or the other side of the legislature. He was active in politics from boyhood, and attended, always in an official capacity, every Republican national convention since that of 1892. He had attended also every state convention of his party since that year, serving as reading clerk in which capacity he had few equals. His circle of acquaintances and friends was unusually large. From these, colored as well as white all over the country, telegrams of condolence are pouring into the city to the bereaved family, the immediate members of which are the widow, daughter, father, mother and two brothers.
