SIMMONS KINDLES THE FIRES OF PATRIOTISM IN KANSAS Twelve Hundred Topekans Cheer the Greatest American Orator. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons has come and gone, but the memory of his visit in Kansas—especially Topeka, will live as long as there is a man, woman or child on earth alive who sat under the sound of the voice of this matchless orator at the City Auditorium, Friday evening of last week. He brought a message teeming with hope for the future and no regrets or apologies for the past actions of his race. About twelve hundred people, with here and there a sprinkling of white citizens greeted the speaker, and from the time he began talking till the closing sentence of his remarks, the audience was on tip-toe and punctured his speech with applause. Col. Simmons is a disciple of his illustrious uncle, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and his speech proved that he is a worthy successor of that distinguished American. Col. Simmons is the greatest orator before the American people today, and it is a pity that more of these color prejudiced white people of Topeka were not present to get a dose of the medicine dished out by this great disciple of loyalty and genuine patriotism. The Negro race has never had a braver exponent of their cause upon the rostrum than Col. Simmons nor has the white man a more able defender of his cause in this great war. It is a pity that the colored race cannot have Col. Simmons in Congress, where the race needs a manly man-one who is bold and fearless to meet the Tillmans, Dixons, Vardimans, et al. who stand ready to cast a monkey-wrench into every machine intended to lighten the burden of the Negro. Among the distinguished persons on the platform with Col. Simmons were Gov. Capper, Hon. T. A. McNeal, a tried, true friend of the colored race and Attorney W. C. Houston, of Kansas City, Mo. A chorus of about half hundred volces of St. John A. M. E. church rendered a fine concert about half an hour before the arrival of the "Man of the Hour." After the invocation by Rev. Frank Wilson, Hon. Henry I. Monroe, who presided, introduced the Rev. S. D. J. Watson, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, who in turn introduced Col. Simmons. Rev. Watson is an able speaker and his remarks were received amid cheers. The Harmony Quantette also rendered some fine selections which were well received. Many persons have phoned The Plaindealer asking if we would reproduce Col. Simmons' speech. Miss Greene, our stenographer took the speech in full, but it is too lengthy in the first place and secondly, it would be against the wishes of Col. Simmons were we to do so. Miss Greene took the speech for her own edification, but however, the following are a few paragraphs of that wonderful speech as taken by our Miss Greene: "Mr. Chairman, Governor Capper, Citizens of Topeka; I have hastly been able to get to Topeka, had a hard time getting here. I am glad to see Gov. Capper again for I believe him to be governor of all the people without regard to race or color. I am not a citizen of Kansas, but if I was a citizen of Kansas, there is nothing the Governor could ask of me I would not do. I need him to be my governor. We need our friends particularly now. "It is said very often that the Negro does not know what the war is about. I want to say that the only person who does know is the Negro. He has had trouble enough of his own to know when anybody else is in trouble. I was at Wichita last night and I took occasion to say that Kansas was the leading state in the Union and I believe it is Kansas State of Freedom—both of mind and of man. "I was interested to hear Rev. Watson say that 90 per cent of the Negroes here (I say Negro as I do not like the word Afro-American because it has a hyphen in it) that 90 per cent of the Negroes here own their own homes, that is very fine. This is the time to get homes. After the war 20,000,000 men are coming here from Europe seeking homes; let's have one when they come." "They tell me very often that yesterday was the golden age of the world. That is not true, today is the golden age. I would rather be living today than to have lived yesterday. I would rather be an American Negro today) than to have lived yesterday. I am proud of both my country and my race and have no apologies to offer for either America or the Negro race. I am extremes, particularly about three or four things: One is my country, next is my race, next is my white people and the next is my religion. I love no other country in the world except America; other races came here. I was born here. I am at home. I love my race and offer no apologies for it. I belong to the only race in all the world whose future is before them and not behind them and I live side by side with the American white man, the most advanced representative of humanity in the world. I am proud of him and he is proud of me. He does not say so but he is, and touch not my religion—I belong to the Negro Methodist and Baptist churches—touch them not, that is my religion." Here Col. Simmons paid a glowing tribute to the patience and trust to the Negro who is willing to patiently bear with the American white man and wait his change to come. Winding up Col. Simmons called attention to the distinction made in the registration cards of white and black. The Government order said, "If of African descent, tear off the corner. Speaking of the matter the speaker said in part: "If of African descent, tear off the corner." I said to myself, what does the white man mean now. Now what is he going to do? Why African? But the great difference between the American white man and the American Negro is that the American white man is long on foresight and the American Negro is long on hindsight. I know now what he meant. "Two or three or four or five years from now, when the war has been raging and men falling on the battle field in Europe, and women shall weep and men pray; two or three or four years from now when one hundred thousand American soldiers have fallen in France and Flanders; I imagine the stars shall be falling one by one from the flag. I imagine that the American general in charge of the expeditionary forces shall stand knee deep in blood and send this cablegram to Washington: 'General, General, send me soldiers to catch victory from the Eagle's wing; send soldiers to stand knee deep in blood, our flag is almost taken; send soldiers who are not afraid of death or life; soldiers with courage in their hearts, who can take a command, every star is falling from the flag; send soldiers, the best America has to beat the Huns back across the line.' The officer at Washington will get the cablegram and shall take it to the Adjutant General who will take it and read it: 'Send me soldiers to pick up the stars and put them back into the flag.' He will take the card and nervously go into his room and pull out a drawer and pull out the blanks with the corners torn off and say, Send these, they will bring the bacon home, send these. Let me say to the American white man, you have the ammunition, I have the gun, step up higher, I want that rung you are standing on. It is going to take a long, tall, brown skin man with kahki on to bring the kaiser to his knees.' Here the audience got inside itself and the applause were almost deafening... At the close of this great speech, hundreds of men, women and children—white and black, rushed upon the platform to grasp the hand of the greatest of all American orators. SALINA, KANSAS. The military band of Camp Funston, 317th Infantry, gave a concert at Convention hall last week. Owing to a carnival being in the city only a few were present, but the program was excellent and greatly enjoyed. We do not think the colored citizens neither showed their patriotism, race pride or appreciation of our boys only a few were present. Misses Bell and Harris, of Hutchinson, stopped over in the city last week en route to Junction City. Sergeant Major Clarence Williams, of Camp Funston was the guest of Miss Geraldine Bryant last Saturday, and Sunday. Miss Bessie Greene left last week to attend the commencement at the Topeka Industrial school. She will meet Miss Mary Banks, teacher of Girard, who will accompany her to this city. The ladies of the N. U. G. Art club gave a social at the home of Mrs Barney Everett last week. An enjoyable time was had and the ladies had outlie a success. Misses Ovella Hayes and Ruth Henderson, also Mesdames Naomi and Georgia Parker, of Junction City, visited in the city last week. Mr. C. A Lannagan made a hurried business trip to Topeka last week. He was the guest of Miss Julia Smiley Rev W. P. Banks was recently called to Oklahoma to attend the funeral of his brother. Misses L. and Willie Keesee, of Ellsworth, visited Miss Elizabeth Williams last week. The Wigley home is under quarantine on account of small pox. BETHEL, KANSAS. Mr. Al Rodgers, is painting his residence and building around his premises, and making extensive improvements on his farm The farmers have their crops pretty well planted and everything is starting off nicely, despite the fact that rainfall has been below the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MAY 31, 1918 7 PROF. W. R. CARTER, WHO WAS RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE average this spring. Work, however, is plentiful, and there is a growing demand for laborers at satisfactory wages. Rev. Andrew Smith, of Kansas City, visited friends here, Tuesday. The Misses El Dora and Frances Scott were home from Kansas City on a visit. Sunday. Mr. Geo. Dunn, was shopping in Kansas City, Saturday. Mr. Joseph Crockett, of Kansas City, visited his daughters, Misses Martha Ann and Paralee, Sunday. Mr Samuel Madison, of the Ed- wardsville neighborhood, visited his friends here, Sunday.

Mrs. Little Itchie, attended ser- vices at the First Baptist church, Kansas City, Sunday morning. At the Concurrent Meeting at the PROF. W. R. CARTER, WHO WAS R TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Oak Ridge Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, a very instructive and interesting program was rendered: There were present, a large and apprative audience, and the program was well received. Rev. J M Green, of Kansas City, Mo., discussed the "Relation of the Church to the Sunday School," Rev. Phillip Brown, of South Park, also made a strong appeal for a closer relation of the church to the Sunday school and for a deeper interest in the training of the child at home. Rev. Ripley, of the Wecker Avenue Baptist church, Kansas City, made a soul stirring address on the necessity of the Sunday school, and the great need of worship and the reestablishment of the family altar in the home in order that children might be started upon their life work with the proper training. Prof. G A. Gregg, of Western University spoke in behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People telling in his scholarly way, the aid of the Association, and its beneficent work in the past, in securing for the Negro his equal rights in the race of Life. Prof. Gregg, depicted in a very interesting way some of the many advantages to which Negroes are subjected to in traveling through the country, and in public places, showing that in some instances however, in spite of existing conditions and prejudices, the opportunity comes to the Negro where he has a chance to help the other fellow, and where his help is appreciated. Between the addresses there was good singing, among which were some excellent solos, one by Mrs. Lyn Bailey, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," deserving great credit. A number of lady students from the Kansas City Baptist Theological Seminary, were present, giving assistance in the program. Other singers deserving of special mention were: Mrs. Isaac Locke, Mrs. Nettie Ellis, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Ida Mae Smith, Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Phillip Brown, of South Park, all of whom have well trained voices Mrs. John P. J. Hove), presided at the organ. The meeting was the first of a series to be given during a Trip Through Mis the summer. Through the uniting offorts of Mr. and Mrs. Hovey, two of our staunch white citizens, and our Mr. Geo. Dunn, the meeting was a great success. T. I. I. HOLDS FINE COMMENCEMENT T. I. I.

"The Aristocracy of Service" was the theme of the baccalaureate sermon delivered Sunday of last week by Dr. Elbert W. Moore, of Columbus, Ohio, to the graduating class of the Industrial Educational Institute, Sunday, May 19th. A speaker called attention to the RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE INSTITUTE Various classes of aristocracy—flocks, herds, blood, wealth and Intellect, but supreme of them all is the Aristocracy. He is exemplified by the teach- ing and life of Jesus Christ. He held us Jesus as the example for all to conglate in the field of useful service. He called attention to the great oppor- tunity to serve us as the greatest since the Emancipation, almost every field and avenue of service is thrown open to us in the result of the war. He emphasized the great need of thorough integration in order to enter these new fields of service. He showed how all may become members of this new aristocracy. If they can and will render service. An aristocracy not based on race, color, or creed, but on the ability to render the needed service. He emphasized the thing that counts for most in this life—service. Of all the words in the English language, there is none more significant nor greater import than the little word—Service. Every human being born into the world has been put here by the All-wise Creator for some specific work or service, and it matters not how great or small their talents, they are expected to render some service to God and humanity. And the person who has not awakened to a realization of this fact is, to say the least, stupid, and amounts to very little to himself or to the community, and they lose nothing when sum a one departs. He called attention to the fact that the great men and women of all ages have been those who have rendered the greatest and most invaluable service. He urged upon the members of the class to feel and be conscious of the fact that service is their greatest mission on earth, and that they were placed here by the Allwise Creator to tender some specific or definite service as evidence that they have not lived in vain. He claims that the reason why we as a race have so many responsibilities, stiffness, good for not caring and even criminals, is due very largely to the fact that they have not waked up to the fact that their paramount doty in life is Service Service to their families, community, country church and above all services to your God. There is no failure in Missouri---Please Be R life where honest, efficient service is rendered. Commencement Notes. It has been my very pleasant privilege to spend commencement week as the guest of The Industrial and Educational Institute, of Topeka. To say that I have been amazed at the marvelous progress made by this institution, but feebly expresses my admiration, and I can fully appreciate why the Baptists of Kansas as well as the Baptists of the country, stand as a unit in the support of this work and its builder and principal, Dr. William R. Carter, for the great achievements of eighteen years' laborious and sacrificial work. In order to estimate and fully appreciate what has been done, one must go back to eighteen years ago when Dr. Carter was called by the board as then constituted. He found one poorly equipped building and a debt of $3,500. Without a dollar's worth of credit as a resource with which to build, but with a confidence born of a faith in God that knows no failure, he started with a determination to build an institution that Suesaqi pus pop of Aoiziq eq pnow and benefactor to mankind. That he has succeeded amid suffering, and sacrifice, and difficulties, that would have discouraged any other man (for mark you; there is no success without suffering) let this splendid farm of 110 acres, with its well appointed farmer's house and barn, offering every advantage to the student in the latest scientific farming—let these splendidly equipped and modernly appointed buildings—trades, science and arts—boys' and girls' dormitories and administration; all erected from the best Kansas stone all quarried from the farm, representing an investment of $250,000; let these, coupled with the thousands of young men and women whom he has touched and blessed and inspired to greater achievements, speak more eloquently than space will admit from me in paying this feeble tribute which he so richly merits for the great service he is rendering his race and mankind. The character of the work done in this institution as seen by the exhibits from the various departments: tailor, ing, printing, dressmaking, domestic art, domestic science, carpentering, agriculture, music and literary; all testify as to the very efficient work being done. The splendid physical condition of the pupils, the spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty they display at all times to the principal and institution, was in itself a most notable feature of the commencement week. It was my further privilege to meet and converse with a number of the business and professional men of Topeka, many of whom were acquainted with the struggle of the institution before Dr. Carter took charge, but all of whom have followed with personal interest and pride the great success that has attended his efforts, not alone in giving to his race and mankind this splendid institution, but one in which the city and state can take pride, both as to the character of the work being done, as well as the business management, which has secured the support and confidence of the best business men of the state. Dr. Carter belongs to that group of men and women who have blessed the world most for having lived in it, in that they realize that they were placed here for service and immediately addressed themselves to the great task. As the builder and principal of the THE EDITOR DR. ELBERT W. MOORE Industrial and Educational Institute more generally known as The Western Tuskegee, his success and great achievements will render his name and fame as lasting as the history of this state in its contribution to the education of its youth. His is a most striking example of a man living not for his own comfort or pleasure but to render service, and as such he is a living example to the rising generation of what real service is. There are some things we can weigh and estimate but you cannot measure, chart, estimate nor weigh the value of the great service that is being rendered humanity, year, and the world, the work and worth of a man like William R. Carter ELBERT W. MOORE. BIG REVIVAL AT LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. First A. M. E. Church, Rev. J. L. Craw, Pastor, Holds a Big Meeting. Los Angeles, Calif, May 29 - This the metropolis city on the Pacific Coast experienced during the past Price $1.50 Per Year three weeks beginning Sunday, May 5th the greatest revival awakening ever witnessed in the ranks of our people in the history of our church life, Miss Mary G. Evans, girl evangelist, of Indianapolis, Ind., with her burning messages of truth awakened the city for Christ in an old fashioned revival meeting such as California has never before witnessed. The spacious auditorium of Historic Eighth and Towne avenue, First A. M. E. church was packed and jammed nightly while thousands of people were turned away from these evangelical services daily because of inadequate accommodations. The keen interest manifested by all the people regardless of denomination was the greatest in the history of any religious movement amongst our people in the entire Western country. A consecrated chorus of fifty voices sang nightly. A monster parade by Sunday schools and B. Y. P. U., Allen C. E. and Epworth League workers headed by The Angelus band and young ladies' Bible class with Dr. Craw, teacher, was a "now innovation" that excited generous applause along the entire line of march. Two hundred and twenty-seven (227) souls were added to the various churches of the city. While 189 of these united in membership closed, and a free will offering of $563 75 was given our evangelist for her God blessed labor. The people are duly appreciative of her wonderful service and bid her God speed when over she may go carrying the wonderful message of Gods eternal truth. Miss Evans came to California at the request of Rev. Craw, pastor of the First church, and will hold meetings in Santa Barbara and Pasadena before returning to the East.

Washington School, presented the entire enrollment of pupils in a "Folk Dance" program. The march processional, headed by Misses Parks and Harris, started at the school building on corner of Foreman and Admire and thence to east side of county court house, where a military march with many beautiful figures was given, at the conclusion of which the participants separated themselves into three rings of equal sizes, and each performed the same figures simultaneously. On the whole the program showed that excellent training had been given on the part of the promoters, and that Miss Parks does not fall short of any qualities of an enthusiastic, wide-a-swake directress. Male quartette composed of persons having very excellent vocal ability rendered two very appropriate selections. Miss Frank Parks, Principal of Clinton School, presided at the piano, and Mr. Johnson played drums. CHICKASHA, OKLA. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor had a public installation at the C. M.

At 8:30 the large room was packed to the doors with parents and friends of the school and with the large crowd which came from Topeka to pay tribute to this great cause in which the teacher and students of the school are engaged. The program was one of the best ever witnessed. Praver was offered by Rev. I. B. Chiles. Miss Walls read a very interesting paper on "The Purpose of the Red Cross. The flag drill was especially good and the play by the young people entitled, "As Young Folks See Us," was nicely carried out. Each one knew his part well which made the play very interesting. We hope that each grown person who was present taken hope with him a lesson from the little folks. After the program, Mr. Scott Kelley and Mr. Rocco VanSant, members of the school board made a few interesting remarks.

Once more the Great Recorder of time will soon register the passage of another year, when we will soon meet to consider the work that's been done and yet we look forward with earnest hearts to the work yet to be done; and we our Grand Off- ers must tender an account of our stewardship. At this time we find the greater number of lodges in the best of con- dition, considering the great doma- mance upon this people by our Gos- ment, yet we feel that as American citizens we must support our country in a crisis like this. I would suggest that the Executive Committee should each make himself a committee of one to speak on conservation of food while in the city of Coneyville, making yourself an active co-worker of the United States Food Administration I ask the support of each N. G. and P. S. of every lodge within this district, for your support will decide the completion of my reports for the District Sesol lot, which will convene in the city of Coneyville, July 16, 17 1918 I am sure that each one of you are anxious to serve your Order for the last of your duty. I knowse for myself I want a complete report of my work for the year, so at this time I ask each of you to see to it that your annual reports are completed and forwarded to me, with the District. Far not later than June 30th. Let each delegate come to this session to do greater work than was done at the last. The District has prospered in more ways than one, even though the thesis are critical, i.e., on death into this far is much less than at this last year. We have grown financially, yet prices have advanced we have no debts. This alone should cause us to feel proud; then to know that we stand first in the state financially, will cause us to rally to the 11 O O P lodges for greater work. "There is no excellency with give labor." Then why not say, District G. Master you have done well and I greet you. I appreciate the work you have done in your field of labor, for I can see the fruits of the same. By so doing you will show the purity of your heart and the loving kindness for your Chief Executive. Stand back of him if you are an Old Fellow, care for him and for one another, you have want to do so, and I am sure we will trustish and comfort any brother, why, simply because we stand on the True principles of I. L. & T. as hearty Old Follows which no one can deny. I also will inform you of my appointment from Washington, D. C., by the Food Committee, to take charge of the educational work of the U. S. Food Administration for this organization in the State of Kansas. The section is charged with giving out information to the Negro press, moving picture theatres, and is at present organizing a group of men who will deliver the subject of food conservation to the people. We also work through the various schools, through the fraternal organizations, through social centers and community centers, and through the women's clubs. Now you see that everyone must help, while one are giving their lives to our own bit, by saving it. only what you need and waste not import but utilities of the person will be strained this year and of what food for can ellies. The surplus food created by some gardens will help in the treatment problem and the nation will eat less of the pools we must export wheat, meat, fats and sugar. What is the test "Corner new" war of starvation is a challenge most of all to Argentina Against Germany's host for doom, America's purpose is to establish 'an society of nations against destruction' and 'a nation is healing against misery'. America's ideal is service. We can hope to contribute most to the common cause from our larger resources. To have desperate privation, America can supply food. Now is the time for the test, and what is the test? Our Government has asked to clear the use of wheat oilthus until Sept. 1, so let us obey, not potassium, ammon- ic acids, the use of Bread is only a habit for the needs of the body call only for sufficient nourishment. Changing our habits is none too easy, but it is no easy task to win the wi- the greatest opportunities of the present day to exercise this loyalty is to help save and grow foodstuffs I am confident that every member in the Kansas Jurisdiction will respond to be suggestions of the Food Admini- strator and thus prove their patriot- ism for winning this war.
