Martin Leaves Colored Committee Seated at Headquarters. Loud cheers and shouts as they sighted the Statute of Liberty almost drowned the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner" which the soldier band in the harbor played, marked the entrance into New York harbor of the ship carrying the Negro troops of the 805th Pioneer Infantry, (famous "Bearcats") on the morning of Friday, June 27th. This eager and intense expression of joy was begun when the governor's ship, "The Lexington" bedded with aunflowers bearing the Kansas delegation approached the "Zepplin" some eight miles out at sea. Together with the shouts from these leather lunged heroes, the purrring and puffing of the high-powered engine of the areoplaners which soured over the depths and the submarine chasers which flitted about the harbor, all signaled a seeming welcome to the boys returning from "over there." The Kansas delegation composed of Attorney Ellisha Scott, Rev. S. E. J. Watson and Taylor Reed of Topeka; W. C. Brown, of Lawrence; R. Hill, of Salina and C. Prince Edwards, and Dr. F. L. Barnett, of Wichita, with several white Kansas, all carried huge sunflowers, which reminded the boys that Kansas was not far distant. The following Monday found the members of the delegation at Camp Upton where they were assembled in the "V" auditorium to hear talks by various members. Attorney Scott acting as spokesman talked for thirty minutes during which time he was wildly applauded. Rev. Watson also paid the boys a glowing tribute for their splendid record maintained on foreign soil and implored them to maintain such record here in America. Mr. Taylor Reed, the well known Topekan acted as official guide for the delegation owing to his previous acquaintance with the big city and its ins and outs. The entire delegation reports a royal reception and splendid treatment from all connected with the Kansas headquarters but were left sitting in the headquarters waiting for instructions about getting to the boat by the adjutant general of Kansas, Gen. Martin, who rushed off in a motor car, leaving them to roam at will until they could get the necessary information from other sources. General Martin, however, secured the Governor's boat to carry them out at sea to meet the boys, but from his action in other small matters, the colored contingent saves. it was because a boat that would only accommodate him would have been too small. They say the General was as cold and distant as an iceberg, and at no time troubled himself as to the convenience of the colored Kansans. No doubt had the committee been composed of white men, the General would have gone out of his way to arrange for their connec General Martin is a paid servant of the people of Kansas and it was his duty to have seen to it that her citizens were at least shown the common courtesy that is due every person regardless of creed, color or condition. Colored Kansas is sore. Her sons who offered their lives without a murmur to successfully prosecute a white man's war have been denied the privilege of being welcomed home as was their white brothers. Kansas appropriated money to welcome her "soldiers," not a dime of which has been expended in that direction on the black boys whose record in the adjutant general's office is one hundred per cent American. The money of the black tax payer has been spent however, and white newspaper reporters have journeyed to New York to assist in the blowout without a dime's worth of expense to themselves. Colored Kansas is not going to forget neither will she forgive, and some day those who danced must pay the fiddler. MISS SCUDDER A CANDIDATE FOR CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT Capable and Efficient Deputy Seeke Promotion at Next Election The voters of Shawnee county will be called upon in 1920 to select a new clerk of the district court, who will likely be a woman. Miss Orn L. Scudder now serving as deputy is a candidate and has practically the entire endorsement of the Shawnee county bar. She is one of the best and most efficient clerks to be found anywhere. Miss Scudder is a hard working young woman who has to depend upon her own efforts for a livelihood and is deserving of encouragement. As the women are seeking recognition in the political arena, she thinks it no more than fair that she be given the first choice for clerk of the district court as she is already serving in the office and having qualified herself wishes to be promoted. The first woman to ever hold the office Mrs Mary Chanlin is now serving her third term and made one of the best the county ever had. --- No. 23. KANBAS SOLDIERS HAVE BIG BANQUET IN FRANCE Boys Trained at Western University Hold Big Love Feast. Drest, France, June 15.—The first and most interesting banquet of its kind ever recorded on the pages of history was the event given by the Kansas men, of the 803d Pioneer Infantry, the first and only Training Deachment ever turned out by Western University, in the "Y" but known as the "Soldier's Rest. The building was given over to the men immediately after the evening service, about 8:30 p. m. The building was decorated with fans which answered the purpose of the sunflower. The evening was well spent. Music was furnished by the 803d regimental band which caused the dreary stay in Drest and army life to be abandoned for the time. A very interesting talk on "Kansas" by Sergt. A. Lannagan, of Salina, received the applause of the evening. The welcome address by First Class Private Winfield Burke, of Wichita, could not have been more sincere and impressive. Sergt. Consider B. Jenkins, of Kansas City, Kansas, the master of ceremonies, delivered an able address on the pronaganda which is being spread to赦credit the deeds of bravery performed by our officers at the front. He brought the audience to their feet, receiving great applause. Next came the quartett: Cornoral Floyd Porter, Wichita; Corporal William Sidney, Great Bend; Sergt. Maj. McCov, Chicago; First-Class Private Burke, Wichita. The songs were inspiring and highly appreciated. Then came the talk by Rev. Dr. Gordon (white) of Topeka, Kansas, which was highly instructive and prelated. Interisting talks were also made by Capt. Sargcant, Lt. Tinael and Lieut. Rowe, of the 92d Division, of their experiences on the different fronts. These men are all residence of Chicago. After the program ice cream, cake, lemonade, nuts, cigars and cigarettes were served. The seating capacity of the "hut" is estimated at 800, but was inadequate for the crowd which looked on with great interest and prelation, and all went away with bats off to the Kansas. proclaiming they had never before witnessed such a flow of eloquence and oratory as on this occasion. Though a good time was entoyed by all, there was still an element missing to make our toy complete, and that was the absence of our women. SERFIT, LED CURTIS ALLEN Co I 603d Pioneer Infantry, A. E. F. Brest, France. COLOPED MAN IN BUREAU OF WAR RISK INSURANCE Interest of Colored Soldiers and Sailors Will Receive the Careful Attention of Race Man. The colored soldiers and sailors who served in the world war have a personal representative in the Government's Bureau of War Risk Insurance. He is Lieut. Jay Williams Clifford, of Washington, D. C., former an officer in the famous Buffalo regiment, which made history in France. The continuance of the colored service man's insurance is one of the important parts of the Bureau's work. There were 400,000 Negro soldiers and sailors in the service and they carried approximately $2,500,000,000 of War Risk Insurance. The appointment of Lieut. Clifford to look after the interests of the colored men was made because of the need for having a colored man thoroughly familiar with Government insurance who would give his entire attention to the task of holding in line these 400,000 returned service men. I leut. Clifford will point out to the members of his race the importance of holding on to their war risk insurance as a financial protection in their old age. "Very few insurance companies insure colored people," said Lieutenant Clifford. "They do not insure the members of my race, even at higher premium rates. The reason for this is that the mortality rate among Negroes is higher than that among other races. This is a strong argument in favor of every colored soldier and sailor taking advantage of Uncle Sam's insurance offer. "The Bureau of War Risk Insurance is to be maintained as a permanent institution, in recognition of the services the soldiers and sailors rendered the United States during the world war. The Government is offering the safest and lowest cost insurance, and a protection to colored men otherwise unobtainable. "Colored organizations throughout the country have given the Bureau valuable aid in assisting discharged service men in arranging to carry their insurance, and have volunteered to cooperator in every way possible. "The advice of all loading colored citizens to soldiers and sailors is to keep up their government insurance, I hope every discharged service man among the Negroes will feel it his duty to write to the Bureau about his war risk insurance. He will be given aid in every way possible." Lieut. Clifford was commissioned a first lieutenant at the Fort DesMolines Training School and served as a line officer with the Buffalo regiment in France. He has the degree of A. B, and was engaged in school work in Washington before entering the army. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 4. 1919. WILL PRESIDENT WILSON CONTINUE HIS SILENCE? Topeka, Kan, July 4, 1919 To His Excellency, Hon Woodrow Wilson, President of These United States of America and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy; White House, Washington, D. C., My Dear President: As president of the Kansas Defense Society and Editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, representing thousands of colored members and a large number of whites, I wish to protest to you in their behalf against the infamous outrage perpetrated upon them on the morning of July 3d about 1:30 a. m., by one Capt. Arthur Harvey in charge of a troop train en route from Camp Upton to Camp Funston bearing colored soldiers of the 805th and 806th Pioneer Infantry, which were returning from France, where they had been defending the honor of this Nation. Orders had been secured from your War Department by the Kansas United States Senators and wired to headquarters at Upton, also Governor Allen, of Kansas and to the Kansas delegation who were sent all the way to New York to greet the returning soldiers upon their arrival to the States that this train of soldiers would be stopped in Topeka, Kansas long enough to parade and be entertained by the citizens and relatives. The Chamber of Commerce along with Major Herbert J. Corwine even called this officer over the phone when he reached Perry, Kansas, a short distance from Topeka, and he assured them he would stop the train for at least thirty minutes. These good people and their relatives went to an enormous expense by preparing something like one hundred spring chickens at $1.50 each; twenty gallons of ice cream, $2.20 per gallon; 600 mother's cooked pies that would taste like a dollar a piece; not counting the gallons of lemonade and hundreds of drop cakes like your mother made when you were a boy. About five thousand souls stood for hours watching and waiting for the arrival of these heroes. About 2:30 a.m. this train of darkened coaches bearing these boys passed through Topeka at the rate of forty miles an hour. It was the most pathetic scene one ever witnessed. Mothers, sisters and sweethearts almost exhausted themselves with sobs and grief to think they had a President and commander of the army that would suffer a third rate captain to ignore the orders of the government. Now Mr. President, this is nothing new. Your attention was called to the many outrages that were being carried on in the army against colored soldiers by myself Aug. 1, 1918 at the White House. Fifteen typewritten pages giving the incident, time and place of each individual act were left with Mr. Tumulty, calling your attention to the many outrages Southern white officers were heaping upon the colored soldiers. You turned a deet ear and it continued, here and in France. These crimes could not have been kept up unless they had your sanction or sympathy for one order from you would have stopped it. Now it is hoped that what you have heard in a round about way of the gallant fight put up by the colored soldiers under adverse circumstances and being handicapped by Southern white officers in France and here, that you will come to their rescue by denouncing these officers for the many mean, low things practiced on colored commissioned officers as well as privates. A conure is due that class of white men and especially this third rate Captain Arthur Harvey, who had charge of the troop train that came through Touche on the early morning of July 5th when a multitude of relatives and friends with plenty of good things to eat had to be thrown away. This Negro hating white man should be dishonorably dismissed from the service. Had Cant, Harvey treated white people in a like manner he would now be undergoing investigation. Every order issued to stop trains over in Topcka long enough to enter in white soldiers returning from France was obeyed to the letter. They were received in open arms by thousands of loyal Kansans under an arch of steel, but when it came to the oppressed black soldiers, your prejudice officer thought it was too much to thus honor men of color and proceeded to dishonor them. Now, Mr. President, if you continue to set and look on at these outrages with shame like silence, the prayers of the colored people mingled with the prayers of a large minority of whites will ascend the throne of the mighty Jehovah and yet cause you to break that long silence you have held back to allow that great Southern Negro gating white host of Pharoah to be engulfed into a sea of forgetful men. You suffered nineteen brave colored soldiers to hang for defending their honor and the dignity of the army for the Houston riot and thirteen of them were lynched by a court-martial your approval and seventy-five are now in prison for life some of them without a charge pending against them. This court martial was composed of Southerners. These men are now seeking release through the United States court, the matter having been taken up by the Kansas Defense Society. We hope this is not the policy nor the orders of the Democratic party that colored soldiers be treated in this manner. Your tried and patient citizen, MICK CHILES, President Kansas Defense Society and Editor The Topea Plaindealer, HIGH HONORS TO NEGRO SOLDIERS Sol. Butler, Kansan; Clarence R. Van Allen, Bostonian, Win Laurels in U. S. Army Boston, July 2—The act of Clarence R. Van Allen, Negro corporal of Company L, 372d infantry regiment, in putting out of action, singlehanded, a German machine gun, killing four of its crew and capturing three others, was recognized today when he was decorated with medalie millitaire, the highest honor for heroism that France confers on an enlisted man. Officers of the northeastern department, who turned out in a body to do honor to the man who was formerly a waiter at a restaurant here, said they believed he was the first American soldier to receive the decoration. Van Allen was already the possessor of the distingished service cross and the croix de guerre. Porshing Stadium, June 29.—Private Col Butler, of the American army, who was the winner of the trials in the winning broad jump at the inter allied games today, was cheered loudly when he stepped up to the box of the king of Montenegro, after his success, to receive from the king the medal of the fourth class of the Order of Danilo. The grin on the husky Negro's face was car-wide as King Nicholas patted him on the back after shaking his hand. Butler is a Kansan, having been born and reared in Hutchinson, and maintained the reputation of the best athlete in Kansas. He participated in all of the big meets in Chicago and other great cities and always returned with the highest honors. Several years ago when he returned from a big event in Chicago where he won laurels for his school, the citizens of Hutchinson turned out on masse, met Butler at the train and paraded him through the principal streets. HUYCKE BUYS ELEVEN YARDS FORMS NEW BIG COMPANY Purchase Is From the Josephine B Thomas Estate—Heirs Become Stockholders In Paul Huvcke Lumber Co.—Assets of the Firm. $225,000. The City of Topeka, the great state of Kansas and the West is proud of Mr. Paul Huyeke, who is one of the best men in the country. He is a loyal, high class citizen and business man. Mr. Huyeke has a kind word for everybody. He is honest in all of his dealings with mankind; rather give you a dollar than wrongfully take a penny. He is honored and respected by everybody who knows him or has any business dealings with him. His new company will make money. Mr. Huyeke made thousands for the Thomas Lumber company and will make millions for his new company. He has the best wishes of everybody and we know the public will sing his praises.

Thomas estate, thus the executor, The Prudential Trust Company, of Topeka. Mr. Huskee secures the lumber yards at Americas Dunlain, Rose Hill, Madison, Perry Della Emmet Rock Creek, Meriden, Belvue and St Marsas. In addition to these Mr. Huskee owns yards at Ellis and Ogallah, Kansas, and is the only surviving partner in the firm of Thomas, Huskee & Company of Oliver, Ark, operating a lumber business, cotton gin, plantation and general store. The new firm will be known as the Paul Huske Lumber Co. successors to J Thomas & Son, and will have offices in the Washburn Law building 211 West Sixth, one door east of the former office.

JESS WILLARD WAS EASY JESS WILLARD WAS EASY Jack Dempsey a real man, was the victor in the world's championship battle over Jess Willard, human punching bag, the only "cheese" who ever wore the heavyweight crown. About the only thing Willard ever did successfully was draw the color line. So rigidly did he do this that he eliminated the black fighting man from his staff of trainers. It was the easiest battle ever won. Willard being knocked down five times in the first round, and when the gang sounded the big denizen from Emmett was unable to respond. His eye was closed and teeth loosened, fight reports say and it was nearly two hours before he fully realized that he had overmatched himself. He did not even show any signs of a fighter. Dempsey is not only the best physical man in the world, but he is a gentleman; a man who believes that color should not be placed in the path to construct any man in doing the things he can perform well. He praised this by having two colored men as principal trainers. "No man can hold another down into the ditch without staying down with him," thus Willard has fallen, and may his conqueror enjoy all the blessings that go with such honors is the wish of all lovers of justice and fair play. Price $1.50 Per Year Nebraska White Man Seeks Divorce on Grounds That Wife Has Negro Blood in her Veins Below is an account of a suit for divorce which is being tried before the district court in Omaha, Nebr., where a white man is suing for the annulment of his marriage on the grounds that his little child has colored blood in its veins. This white man is too low to be called a human being. It is a shame that the American white man is so afraid he will come in contact with a little blood of the colored race when at the same time it was he who started to mix the races more than two centuries ago. If any people have a just and righteous kick, it is those of color. That white blood is awful it makes criminals and vagabonds out of the colored race; and were it not for that white blood the colored race would be much better. The white man should consider it an honor to have colored blood coursing through his veines for there never was a nobler or truer race to a principle or to a government than the black race. Yes Mr. Dwyer, your race has been mixing with the colored race so long that you can hardly tell to what race any American belongs to. No doubt if Dwyer would investigate his own family instead of that of his wife, he might find that his own family had been mixing a little along the line. A man who will make the charge that Dwyer has against his own little babe is unfit to be received in the society of decent, respectable people and should be banned to a lonely island to dwell with the beasts and fowls. Dwyer is not in seeking cover through the color question. Hundreds of his race commit the lowest and meanest crimes known to criminal history in the name of the black race, and find protection at law and help through the white press. Hundreds of colored people suffer yearly for crimes committed by white people, either through suspicion, false acquisitions or under a cover of burnt cork to hide their many crimes. The charge of crime made against any colored person in the South is readily sustained by judge and jury, without the presentation of any evidence whatever, but the Dwyer case happens to be in the West where a court or jury takes the evidence and not color. Dwyer missed his guess. He thought that the suggestion of Negro blood would scare the court into granting his prayer, but he now finds that he must produce the goods. In the South he would not have had the slightest bit of trouble in casting aside the woman and his own child. Truly the white man is reaping what he has sown. The account of the case as reported by the press dispatches says: Omaha. July 2—While a pretty little son of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Dwyer played about the courtroom here today, District Judge Throop attempted to decide between the father's contents that the wife and mother, and therefore the child, has Negro blood and the dental of that charge by Mrs. Dwyer and her aged father. The charge is being pressed by Dwyer in an attempt to get an annulment of his marriage. Mrs. Dwyer has filed a crossbill asking absolute divorce. The husband's religious beliefs prevent him from remarrying if divorced. If he can get an annulment, he can remarry. If the wife wins, he cannot reew without breaking his church application. Dwyer recently returned from service in the army. He testified that, until his child was born, he had no suspicion there was Negro blood in his wife's veins. The Dwyer child was born in the evening and Dwyer saw it for the first time next morning. Immediately afterward he left the house and never returned, enlisting in the army and going to France. He returned a month ago and started the annulment suit. His family says he is willing to support the child but that he will place it in a Negro institution and raise the child as a Negro, not as a white child, in order that he may never marry a white girl. Both the little boy and the child a mother have blue eyes and light hair. In his contention, Dwyer introduced Dr. A. A. Holtman, a physician, as a witness. The physician testified that the showing of Negro blood might crop out as far down as the sixteenth generation after failing to show in the physical appearance of the intervening generations. Douglas McCarthy, father of Mrs. Clara Dwyer, accompanied her in court and added to her denial his own that there is Negro blood in their family. SWEENEY'S BOOK A GEM.

Now that summer weather is here, the refrigerator should be carefully cared for. Do not try to decrease the bill by purchasing small quantities of ice. Put in as much ice as the refrigerator will hold, and keep the ice box full. Keeping the refrigerator thoroughly chilled prevents the ice from melting so rapidly. Clean the refrigerator carefully once a week, using cold water and a scouring powder or white, unscented soap. Rinse and wipe dry. Be careful about spilling anything in the refrigerator, and if anything is spilled, wipe up carefully. Oions and other foods of penetrating odor should not be kept in the refrigerator. Warm foods should not be put in the refrigerator, and food should not remain in it beyond usefulness. Keep the door of the refrigerator closed. If you have a profusion of summer flowers, don't forget the sick and the invalid. Flowers bring much cheer to the sick room. Summer blossoms on the dining table are also pretty. Eggs must be carefully handled to reach the market in good condition during hot weather. Gather them each day and keep in a cool, dry place. Market at least once a week—offener is better. --- To fry a spring chicken, clean and disjoint. Then soak in cold water at least one hour. Put in a frying pan a generous amount of fat. Salt the chicken and roll in flour and drop into the hot fat. Fry until brown on both sides. Serve on a platter. Pour most of the fat from the frying pan, add a little flour and stir. When slightly browned, add one cup or more of sweet milk. Serve in a bowl or gravy boat. --- To serve left-over chicken, remove meat from bones, heat a few minutes, adding water and gravy if you have any left. Add a slice of onion and a little finely cut parsley. Add salt and pepper to season, and a little butter if needed. Put the heated chicken in a square granite dish, cover with a rich biscuit dough. Bake until done and brown. Remove crust to platter. Cut into squares and pour over it chicken and gravy. Serve immediately. --- Address the National War Garlen Commission, Washington, D. C., for 32 page booklet, "Home Canning and Drying." You will find the booklet full of information about canning. Be mindful of your health as well as that of your child. It is claimed that tuberculosis claims one life in the country every three minutes. Many tuberculosis cases could be prevented and cured by outdoor life, pure food, cleanliness, and proper rest. Home remedies (not patent medicines) are sometimes to be recommended. Towling cut in eighteen inch lengths and hemmed make more serviceable kitchen towels than the yard long towels; you can have a clean towel for each day with less heavy towels in the wash. . . . Small size salt sacks washed white make nice face cloths handkerchiefs, and cloths for covering food. Those sacks also make nice dollies; cut round or oval and add an edge of crochet or tatting. Plain Layer or Loaf Cake: Two eggs, 2 cups flour, 1 cup milk, 2 scant teaspoons baking powder, lemon extract, 1-2 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, Cream, butter and sugar, add beaten eggs, then 12 the milk and 1 cup flour (sifted with baking powder), add the other 1-2 cup of milk and the other part of the flour. Heat well bake in loaf or layer, use any kind of filling and iceing. A good every day cake. Live as much from the garden as possible, fresh vegetables from one's own garden are much more wholesome than store food. Canning and pressing fruits and vegetables should be very popular A Proud Chapter in the History of the Negro Race The official and authentic history of the true part played by the Negro in the great World War, written by a man whose valuable experience, intimate connection with every phase of the direction of the great struggle, makes it possible to publish the true facts. A great historical volume that should be in every Negro home. Gives inside facts and accurate and official data and pictures which will appear in no other book. Every chapter is full of the very information which you have been anxiously waiting to know. This Great Book tells all about the Negro Everywhere in the World War—How He Did His Duty, in every capacity—from right up in the front line trenches and on the battlefields—clear back to the work of keeping the home fires burning; on the farms; in the mills and munition plants; on the railroads and steamships; in ship yards and factories. Men and women with the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the War Camp Community Service, the Liberty Loan Drives, etc. Scott's Official History was written for the Negro by the Negro that the wonderful record of daring deeds, gallant bravery and undying heroism of our black troops might never perish. A great tribute to the patriotism of the Negro Race. this year with the prudent and thrifty housewife. The advantage of a full pantry of home canned goods, if once tried is sure to be found a great help in decreasing the grocery account. If one has an orchard and a small fruit and vegetable garden, the expense of canning and preserving is almost nothing, and you have a superior quality of fruit and vegetables. But if you have no fruit or vegetable garden, buying fresh fruit and vegetables and canning them yourself is a decided advantage over canned store goods. It costs less and home canned goods are more healthful than store foods. Every housekeeper should take great pride in canning and drying foods. Cream of Pea Soup—Shell the peas, put in a sieve and sift out undeveloped peas. Wash and put to cook in cold water using 1 cup water to each cup of peas, simmer until soft. Put through a sieve. To each cup of peas add 1 cup and a tablespoon flour blended with cold water. Season with butter, salt and pepper. Serve hot. Fried Potatoes—Peel and slice potatoes rather thin. If large cut in fourth before slicing. Soak a few minutes in cold water. Put a generous amount of fat in a frying pan. let become hot. Drain off water and put potatoes in frying pan season with salt and dredge with flour, stir up, cover and let fry, stirring often, fry until done and brown. This is a good "left over dill" of bacon and peas. Warm the cold bacon in a frying pan, dredge lightly with flour and stir, add cold peas, if not sufficiently moist add some milk. Serve hot with corn bread. A Thought for the Week Count and save the golden moments Give your child the care you should have had. G. U. O. O. F. ATTENTION ATTENTION Parsons, Kansas, May 26, 1919 To the officers and members of all Subordinate Lodges in District No. 17, Jurisdiction of the State of Kansas, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows: Greetings. The thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth annual convention will convene in Coffeyville on the third Tuesday in July, 1919, at 9 o'clock a. m., and I hope that each lodge will send a delegate to the District Grand Lodge, as I deem it necessary that all subordinate lodges be represented in order to know what is going on, and, when the delegates return home, that they may be able to tell them how the conditions are, and also be able to explain to their lodge how the Grand Lodge has been conducted in the last two years. Our financial condition in the Grand Lodge is excellent, and the endowment department is in good condition also. I hope you will instruct your delegate the method in which you desire the burial department to be changed. In my opinion ten cents deducted from the monthly dues of each member will build a treasure while the member is alive. You understand as well as I do that fifteen cents taxation after a member is dead will not build up a treasure. There is no compulsion in the burial department. The sub-committee of management leaves it optional for you to do as you like, and where there is no compulsion there is no law. You cannot enforce vacation in the burial department, as the sub-committee of management holds the District Grand Lodge has the power to make laws, but that they are not in force until approved by the sub-committee of management. I hope that you understand this. I have visited Coffeyville and found that they are making great preparations for the Grand Lodge that is to be held there. I also recommend that no proposition be brought to this District Grand Lodge while it is in session, unless it PETER H. EMMETT J. SCOTT A. M. L. D.

I recommend that all propositions should be gotten up by the subordinate lodges and have the Noble Grand's and Permanent Secretary's signature and also have the lodge seal on them. Said proposition should then be sent to the Grand Secretary and be placed on file and should have the third reading in the convention before there is an attempt to pass it, in order that all delegates may have a chance to understand it. I shall not make any visits, as all lodges are doing nicely. Some have an increase in membership of from twenty to thirty-five. My lodge has an increase of twenty, and all are doing nicely. I thank you for your loyal support to the present administration.
