A colored woman's remarkable gift to the people of her race in the United States is reported by Dr. J. M. Gaston, chief executive of the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Fresdmen. The woman, said Dr. Gaston, is a graduate of Scotia Seminary, a Presbyterian school in North Carolina. Left a widow on her own resources, she courageously opened a rooming house in an Ohio city and accumulated $15,000. Of this she has set aside $5,000 for business capital and the remaining $10,000 she has pre- sented to the Freedmen's Work of the Presbyterian church in the U. S. A., in order, as she said, "More girls may have the same chance I had." OUR COLORED HEROES DEAD. (By Miss Maggle Ladela Riley, Lawrence, Kansas) What grander scene could human cyc behold. Than that immortal blood stained ground that now enfold. Where sleep our colored heroes, the noble dead. They rest, each fallen warrior in his narrow lot, beneath the autumn sun. With battle fought, the work well done the victory won. They fought with pride, their life's blood they proudly save. If to lift to justice height some struggling race, And each surviving heart is felt the might of that power so bravely wrought that time cannot erase. Nor storms deface. And popples grow on Flanders fields and hide away from sight. Where sheep our colored heroes the Where sleen our colored heroes the noble dead. Dtr. Macle Miller, C. G. Te. Dtr. Addie Williams, C. G.

Is Texas' Latest Oil Millionaire—Lending Wealth to Government. Coralcana, Tex., July 16—Texas' latest "oil millionaire" is a very black, white-haired old Negro, who lives in a two room shack near here. A deep teat well in Green Springfield's 400 acre farm is expected to come in this week, adding a cool million to the half million dollars oil and careful farming have already provided. Green doesn't know what he'll do with the new money. Most of his savings now are in liberty bonds and he sort of hopes the government will be able to use the remainder. Green is highly respected in this county—honest, a good farmer and valued citizen by his "white folks friends." NEGRO SOLDIERS AND BAILORS KEEP GOVERNMENT INSURANCE Discharged Negro soldiers and sailors, who served Uncle Sam in the World War, have begun to realize the value of their government insurance, according to Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, a former officer of the famous Buffalo regiment, which made history in France, and now the representative of the colored fighting man in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. In speaking of the colored service man's insurance, Lieut. Clifford said: "Discharged soldiers and sailors of my race, are taking advantage of the new and liberal reinstatement pro for lapsed war risk policies. Under this provision, the soldiers and sailors can reclaim their insurance even after having made no monthly payments of premiums for nine months from the date of discharge. "I am glad that the Negro soldiers and sailors are appreciating the true value of Uncle Sam's insurance because al is the lowest cost and safest insurance obtainable. Efforts to educate them to advantages of this insurance has been highly gratifying, thanks to the aid of organizations of all kinds interested in welfare work among colored soldiers and sailors." TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 18, 1919. REV. SIR FRANK WILSON AGAIN HEADS THE KNIGHTS OF TABOR Hutchinson Meeting Shows Twenty-Eight Years of Progress Under the Direction of a Great Leader. The twenty-eighth grand session of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor just closed in Hutchinson, Friday of last week will go down in history as one of the best ever held. All of the meetings were held in Sherman Street Auditorium and Athletic rooms. Rev. Sir Rev. Frank Wilson, chief grand mentor, called the session to order at 9 o'clock a.m. Tuesday. All grand officers answered the roll call. The various committees were appointed, who at once went to work. The annual message of the Chief Grand Mentor showed he had given much time and thought in the past year's work. His recommendations were all accepted and adopted. Chief Grand Preventress Dir. Emma Gafnes' report was full of information which was adopted. All of the grand officers were reeled immediately after the reading their reports except the Grand Queen Mother, Dhr. Bessie Hall, who declined the honor and Dhr. Lue H. Nelson, of Kansas City, was elected in her stead. A reception was held in the auditorium on Tuesday evening on behalf of Tabernacle, Temple and citizens of Hutchinson. Editor M. B. Brooks, of The Blade, was master of ceremonies. He introduced Mayor Humphrey, who bid the visiting Knights and Daughters a hearty welcome, assuring them that it was from the bottom of his heart that he extended he welcome. He wished he session to be pleasant, saying we as a people must stand for all that is good and pure, that he saw a brighter day for everybody. His remarks were heartily applauded. Sir A. F. Wilson, clerk of the street department of Kansas City, Kansas, responded to the welcome in a few well chosen words, which sank down deep into the hearts of his hearers. Sir Wilson thanked the mayor and the local branches of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor and the citizens for the welcome extended and paid a high tribute to the mayor for the kind words extended. Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Rev. Frank Wilson followed by saying this was the first time in the history of the order they ever had a white man to use the expression, "we people" that they invariably sav, "you people." This certainly set the audience wild. The Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, made a strong talk on getting together. Ice cream and cake was served to the audience, after which everybody went home feeling happy to have been present. The annual sermon was prescheduled Wednesday evening by the Rev. H. W. White, chief grand orator. His sermon teemed with race loyalty, which struck the audience so forcibly that he was re-elected the following day without a dissenting vote. The Memorial services were held Thursday morning. The reports of the Chief Grand Treasurer, Sir J. G. Burdette; Chief Grand Scribe, Sir A. W. Hopkins and Chief Grand Recorder, Dr. Sarah Forbes and Sir J. H. Downs, Taborian Home Treasurer, who handle the business of the Jurisdiction, showed that over seventeen thousand dollars was paid to the members during the past fiscal year and they still have several thousand dollars on hand; whilst the white fraternal orders couldn't withstand the ravages of the flu this one did. White insurance companies who are prejudiced to colored risks should take notice. The session closed with a grand street parade headed by Hutchinson City band to Beck's park, where a fine barbecue dinner was served, concluding at Convention hall Friday evening with the installation of grand officers by Str A F Wilson, assisted by Dr. Julia Rountree, of Omaha. A grand exhibition drill was given by Ruleford's lady Palatine Guards of Toneka, who were handsomely uniformed at a cost of $500. They drilled with such ease and looked so angelic that at times they swept the great crowd almost off their feet. They were the attraction of Hutchinson for one day, and deserve much credit. Capt. Ruleford knows how to drill them and they cannot be beaten when it comes to a real test. Following are the members: Then came the Walker Palatine Guards, of Leavenworth, full of pep and trained to the minute under Capt. Plaindealer George Walker. They put on some fine movements. This team deserves much credit for coming overland in two automobiles all the way from Leavenworth to Hutchinson. Mr. Holmes, the owner, deserves much praise for landing them on time Friday morning after going 137 miles out of the way. This shows loyalty to the order and the Leavenworth guards as well as the lady Guards of Topeka will go down in history as having no terror for the high cost of travelling. The street parade was highly complimented by all who saw it and the uniforms were gorgeous and fine. The following is the list that composed the Leavenworth Guards: G. Walker Wm. Cannon W. M.

THE SOULS OF WHITE FOLK (BY WILLIAM PICKENS) (By WILLIAM PICKENS.) It is over,—when ratification is done. There is no denying it: this was a "white man's war" in its results. But altho it will not prove to be solely a "white man's war" in its results. But we cannot get around it,—that the progress, method and conclusion of this dreadful war disclose the soul of what has been called "white civilization."—That does not prove that colored races would have done any better; they might have done worse. But neither does it prove that they would have done worse. They did not have the chance, the white man had the chance, and he showed what he is. Characteristically it was his thing,—no denying that. Of all horrible things this war and this "peace" are the most horrible things ever perpetrated in the world. Let us see. First, the Germans.—For we must remember that Germans are "white people." We almost forgot the fact during the war,—they were so nasty. We called them "Huns," "bochces," "barbarians," "savages," and things.—anything but "white people." But they are white people.—not good white people,—bad white people, but "white people."—First, then, the Germans made what they called war. They invaded neutral territory, violated treaties, burned the dwellings of the poor, killed noncombatants, murdered old men, skewered babies on their bayonets, crucified men and kittens, ravished girls, desecrated shrines, and blasphemed. And they called that war. Their end came. Then the Allies and Associates—They stood around this fallen Han. They had preached ideals and talked and talked—but now they bargained. They wrote the bargain, and pointing a multitude of bayonets at the vitals of this fallen enemy they offered him the glorious alternatives: Sign or Di' He signed.—And they call this peace! And they are not satisfied They still clamor for a high court to summon before it the body of an old man, once the heister, to be tried, not by his peers, but by his enemies This old man had the great misfortune to be born—at the head of a bad regime. Only his bones and flesh are left, but his righteous enemies clamor for that as a Texas man shouts for the charred fingers of a burned Negro. Five years ago and any one of these necropsy would have wounded accepted a "decoation" from the hands of this criminal old man. He was "der Staat" then a criminal of power"—And they call this "justice." Verbs are the ways of white folk puzzling to the lesser breeds of unindelicate men. What neal? When will we start the next war "to do away with all war"? Like incubating disease germs to do away with sickness. The only enemy of war is catholicity and brotherhood. The only effectual "cevantant of peace" is the Golden Rule. FORM NEGRO NEGIMENT. Adjutant General Martin Favore Organization in Kansas It is not improbable that a Negro government may be organized in Kansas. In fact such action is certain in event the war department adopts a policy suggested by C. I. Martin, adjutant general. General Martin has Price $1.50 Per Year Man of Arrangement Committee Who Has the Pythlans and Court of Calanthe—Tho- day, Wednesday and Thursday. written to the war department asking that the government take steps to organize a Negro dialog. Such a course would enable this state to organize a regiment of Negro troops. PRESIDENT RICHARDSON AGAIN HEADS LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Jefferson City, Mo.-At a recent meeting of the board of regents of Lincoln Institute, President Clement Richardson was re-elected head of Missouri State Normal school for colored.

The time is on for reconstruction, for the building up of that which was destroyed, the replacement of that which was taken away. This is a stupendous task. It will require trained minds and hands to perform this task. Our whole country must be adjusted to the new conditions made after the war. The call is for men and women with great minds to cope with this task. The right standard must be set. With the increase of wages along all lines is a temptation to stop school. With these great problems before us it behooves us to bestir ourselves and turn our faces towards the school houses. It stands in hand for every parent to see that he prepares his children for the battle of life, and to the boys and girls who have no parents the call is to grasp everes opportunity. All the states are blessed with free schools, from the grammar schools to the universities. Use any of these schools, both secular and religious. To worthy and ambitious boys and girls without means this school offers an opportunity for self help. The Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, located at Topeka, is a fitting place for you to come and prepare yourself for life's work. For information write Principal Geo. R.
