Kansas and the West was shocked to learn of the death of Rev. Frank Wilson, for 28 years chief grand mentor of the Knights and Daughters of Taber and grand master of the York Rite Masons for the past five years. Rev Wilson was in apparent good health up to a few days before his death, and was forced to abandon his trit in Southern Kansas and come home on account of a sudden attack. He went to Christ's hospital yesterday where following an operation he passed away a few hours later. He was one of the state's most noted leavers and under his guidance the Knights and Daughters of Taber have grown in wealth and power until today the order ranks second to none in the country. Deceased is survived by a wife a small son and daughter besides other relatives. Interment will be in Kansas City Kansas Sunday a full account of which and suitable obituary will appear in these columns. --- MAPLE HILL. KANSAS. Miss Post Scott Sundived at her home in Pentecot.

THE RIOT AND THE HIDDEN HAND Speaking of the recent riots in Chicago, The Whin, a hold, fearless journal published in that city says: "It is here. While we regret it we knew it was sure to come. We predicted it in our editorial July 5th and gave a remedy to prevent it. "We do not believe that the riots represent the better thinking class of citizens of either race. "Race prejudice is a germ, and, like all germs, it will die if matter conductive to its growth is removed. In diagnosing this situation we find that the bloody hand of the South has played no small part in the origin of this state of affairs. "The Southerner is by nature on habit an indolent creature who prefers to let George do it. He has treated the Negro who has tilled his soil, built his railroads, and even nursed his children, so woofully led that the letter has begun a whole marring to the North. "For the past nine months the South has advertised, sent co-series, to persuade the Negroes to return. On every occasion her invitations have been ignored. "We have information from a very reliable source that the South is planning to spend a million dollars for carrying on propaganda to precipitate friction between the races in the North in order to force the Negro back to Dixie.

Every interest of the colored people hinges on the ballot Every man in America should be interested in the franchise there is no more important subject before us as a couple. You are called to meet us if there is no Organization in your district to send a delegation let a few little scouted men make such a or-organization: one that desires the growth of the Negro manhood, the purity of Negro womanhood and the opportunity of Negro childhood. Come, all ve leaders of the great black race in America. Come to bring the truth from your community one to hear the facts about other sections, come to hear the story of the colored people of England France, Liberty, and Haiti, come to help make a program for the reconstruction of the higher life of the Negro in America.

"But the hand which contrived with criminal cleverness to originate the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow car and other unwholesome organizations and convictions, is ninety per cent responsible for this horrible state of affairs. "Let the thinking mind of both races put an end to this most primitive, hideous massacre, to which Dixie will point with pride. "We cannot afford to riot. Chicago is the host and fairest city in the United States. Of course, there are some beastly hoodlums, black and white, who foment trouble, but they are in the minority. Let's quell them new and investigate later trouble. Don't forget that interests of white and colored people are so in angled you cannot harm one to any stout without damaging the other. Don't congregate on corners. Don't carry a chip on your shoulder. Don't allow your sentiment to overcome your best judgment. Don't fall to put your prejudices in the furnace when you go out in public. Don't forget that other people besides you have rights that should be respected. Don't forget that the good name of Chicago is at stake. "Don't forget that we are here to stay and never to return to Dixie.

AUGUST 8, 1919. Missouri Masons Want a New Deal Sedalia Will Be the Scene of a Hot Contest in the Fight Against Ringsters. Attorney Clark, of St. Louis, is Being Put Forward for Grand Master. The Masonite Grand Lodge, State of Missouri will convene in Sedalia Aug. 20th. This will be the first session since 1917. The 1918 session was to have been held in Omaha, Nehr., but was called off without authority and has worked a hardship on the jurisdiction every since. The citizens and Masons have never felt good since the calling off of the meeting, as they were undergoing considerable expenses to entertain the Grand Lodge in 1918, it would have been proper to have held the session in Omaha this year but Omaha would not attempt to organize a third campaign to raise the necessary funds to entertain the body, so it has been called in Sedalia. In our travels over the State of Missouri we find much dissatisfaction among the members in regard to the handling of the affairs of the order and they are clamoring for a change. They say they are going to work on the square from now on, that every brother shall have a square deal, that they are going to advance the grand officers every two years. They say there are too many intelligen and progressive Masons in the State of Missouri to let one set remain in some office year after year. If it is a god thing, pass it around and in case it is bad, they do not propose to inflict the punishment solely upon a few simply because they are good follows and willing. There has been a set of men known as the Pelham lodge, and he and his crowd notepainted themselves in of too until the leader almost wrecked the Grand Lodge and had slipped out of the country and was never heard of since. He served as grand master for nearly twenty years. The memoirs of the Grand Lodge say that it locks is if some of the present grand officers don't know when to quit and give some other Masons a chance as soon as one has served his time as grand master some other sort job where the money flows freely is provided for him. The rumour is now that the change is to be made and one grand master is to go back to his old place. The secretary is to re-linquish the $500 piece which he needs to a past grand who is to let go his situation for a better one. The secretaries hides to let go so the story runs but will be forced to do so if the houses so decree. Several of the subordinate lodges have passed resolutions to follow the rule laid down in subordinate lodges, pass the officers from one section to the other until they have filled the highest office in the gift of the order and then out. If this rule is adhered to and tight justice and fair play prevails, the present deputy grand master Crittenden H Clark one of the leading attorneys of St Louis will be the next grand master. This means a new day for the Masons of Missouri. Lawyer Clark is a member of Lane Star Lodge No. 1 St Louis. He has served the Grand Lodge in various capacities. Grand attorney for five years filled all the positions in the Grand Lodge and wrote many good laws for the governors of the body. Having been called for the last 15 years members throughout the burdition say he might to step from deputy into the master's chair. All advisors for master from now on must come by the way of the square. The members who paying there will be no more trialers, solicitors, patient, wife telling and no more disgraceful affairs shall happen as did in Kansas City in 1916 when it took all night to wrangle and count out brothers who were rightfully elected. Instead of all right it should have taken about two hours. The square dealers declare that the calling off of the Grand Lodge in 1915 cost just as much as if they had held the regular meeting. They say it cost something like $2,200 in hold the committee meeting in Kansas City in 1918 or the executive board to review the work. They also claim that in the election of Attorney Clark there will be no extortionate fee for setting up U D lodges, thus saving the local treasuries with a t the cash on hand with which to in a toddler. Mr Clark enjoys an lucrative practice and owns some valuable real estate. He will not assist your allow others to fish the members of the order. He will keep strict supervision on every detail. The race needs strong men to lead it everywhere. If a man who seeks these exalted positions cannot give an account of himself and the things he is doing to advance the race he had better be stopped. A man 50 years old who can't show progress he is not fit to lead a race to higher things in life. Not only the Masons of Missouri, but let every secret organization, church, lodge and school see that their leaders are competent and efficient as well as progressive. We have had enough of donkeys lagards, the burden is too hard, lets cast them overboard. men and women teaching in the schools should take a course and brighten up on the latest methods of teaching. We have some who have taught for a quarter of a century, and teaching now who never go anywhere to brighten up. We also have lawyers doctors and members of other professions the same way. They deserve your patronage and support, but have no ad hoc ideas to offer in return for some. The Phdindler will always be found battling against the ones who are unable to advance their own interests and we intend to maintain on the dring life until they are driven to the test.

We will a race we are far apart and I can see the dunes we are in. We must learn to stick together and cooperate our minds in one direction and that is the right direction. And learn to practice the truth and the things of righteousness. Young man and young woman be careful how you conduct yourself on the streets at the occupation in which you are following and the greatest be careful how you conduct ourselves at home. Why distinguish the home? Because that where all training of munked back up, and you remember that practice makes perfect. Just as you practice your self at home you will also show all tried so many people do not practice good training at home but try to but if you will notice closely the man make smooth the appearance abroad who pretends and is not told will soon be found out by the ways of the world. 'Let your conduct be of such that some boy on girl has their eyes on you and is watching your ways and notions, and while their minds are blank sets forth to ditch your or my disposition and we should be more careful. There are many men and women today that have caused boys and girls to be bullied because of the fact they were not careful as to how they carried themselves. "Mothers and fathers" the child has his or her eyes on you also and it is left to you as to what course the child shall take. Do you know that God will charge you up with the things you ignore and fail to do? You could make some man or some woman see their wrong way of living and touch them the things that's right he will also pay you according to the work you do. Some of our soldier boys are returning home and I am sure that they have learned a lesson that they will never forget, they also learned that there isn't but a few things that man can do, when they cling together, and make it up in their minds just what they want to accomplish. We are wonderful thinkers, and quick to learn, and the time has come that we must think, and learn for ourselves and let us not loose any time. Let us everyone do his or her part, the there is a part for every one to do and if everyone does his or her part we will all surprise ourselves by being on the level basis with the world, and will balance on every side. 'Young men, let us learn to respect our women more in the future than we have in the past. If we don't respect them we should not look for them to be respected by the opposite race. And our women (young women especially) can play a great part in making men of the opposite races respect not only them but can make them respect us. If they will only carry themselves in the right attitude. 'Remember there is strength in unity, and in knowledge there is freedom. "We must learn to do unto others in we would wish others to do unto us. We must learn to be broad and plain, be what you are, don't pretend to be one thing when we are studying as hard as we can to do another. Any of those kind of actions won't last long. The world will soon and you out, for the world is wise. Even foods are beginning to get wise. You should remember the words of Abraham Lincoln, (which are true) "You may find some of the people some of the time, and all the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time when you are not what you claim to be, someone will find you out. Think twice before you speak, and speak less than their knowledge. Watch and fight as well as pray and be sure to keep your eye on your closest friend as they are most likely to do you harm than your worst enemy. Whether you go and whatever you may come in contact with, remember these words: "What sooner a man sowth that shall he also troop."

A lady in the crowd marched loudly, "Sure is this young man is inspired by God" Not known before today only from the praise given to him by the editor of The Toonka Phdheder he leaves us wishing for his return to us at an early date His subject was "To Be or Not to Be That is the Question" and the scholar handled it to perfection and later every phase of the subject and held the attention of his audience at all times. Both white and colored were pleased. Lain Corbett is an uncompassionate and fierce creator and has the nerve and backbone to just what he plays. He demonstrated much violence in her terms and stated that my man white or black who prefected it were not real Americans and were drifting toward awarers. He printed a vield picture of the Vital Wish of Whatch" and showed the effect in the dominant photo he twotted the races in America. He provided for better relations between the races yet he stated that this conduction can only be brought about by radical changes in the various sectors of his country.

There has been for a number of years a well directed propaganda, issu- ing principally from the South, which has had as its purpose placing the brand of rapist on the Negro race. This propaganda has been partly suc- cessful in establishing in the public mind the idea that there is the dis- relation of cause and effect between rage and mob violence against the Negro Whenever the Negro protests against lynching, nearly all Southern newspapers and a great many Northern newspapers call upon him to depreciate the crime which leads to lynching. The authentic statistics on lynching prove the fiefdom on which this propaganda is based. In the twenty years down to 1903 there were 1987 Negro lynched in the Southern states. Of that number nine was assigned as the cause in only 67 cases. In 1730 cases other causes were usurped. In the past thirty years fifty Negro women have been lynched. In the past twelve months five Negro women have been lynched. In the five-year period 19141918, 264 Negroes were lynched in the U.S. exclusive of those killed at East St Louis and out of this number nine was assigned as the cause in only 67 cases. Conflict these records had as they may appear with the records for New York County which is only a part of New York City and we find that in this one county, in the single year of 1917, 200 persons were indicted for rape by the grand jury. Of this number 27 were indicted for rape in the first degree. That is in just a part of New York City the number of persons indicted for rape in the first degree was nine more than the total number to Negro landed on the charge of rape in the entire United States during the period 1914-1918. Among these 27 persons indicted by the New York County Grand Jury there was not a single Negro. The evidence poured by the grand jury of New York County to indict a person charged with rape must be more conclusive than the evidence required by a mob to lunch a Negro accused of rape. When the Congregational Committee on Immigration in 1911 made its study of crime in the United States, an investigation was made of 2,262 cases in the New York Court of General Sessions and in that investigation it was found that the percentage for the crime of rape was lower for the Negro than for either the foreign born or native born whites. The actual figures were for foreign born whites 18.4 for native born whites. 8.8 and for Negroes. 5. The echoes from the Washington riots are a present illustration of how this propaganda against the Negro works. The newspapers have been filled with attacks on white women as an excuse for the riots and these "attacks on white women" are now being used by Southern papers as an excuse and indictment for the first acts of the white mob. A retired judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina writing on the Washington riot in the Wilmington Dispatch speaks of Negroes getting automobiles and riding and snorting through the streets of Washington while vaping "went morally on." What are the facts? According to the data of Major Pulliam, Chief of Police of Washington, there took place in the District of Columbia between June 25, 1919, and the outbreak of the riot, one case of rape and three cases of attempted rape. The first case of attempt was on a colored school teacher. In three of these cases the suspect was one man and he was in jail when the riot broke out. No publicity was given to the fact that two weeks before the riot two white men a motorman and a conductor on a street car, attempted rape on two colored girls who were the only passangers in the car when it reached the end of the line. These two men are now under heavy bail. I repeat that there is a direct pla of propaganda on the part of the South to brand the Negro with being a rogue in order that he may be rob bod of all sympathy and public in terest when lynched and mobbed. The truth is the Negro is not more adduced and is perhaps less addicted to rattle than any other group in the country CHANUTE WILL WELCOME THE SOLDIER BOYS Chanute Kau There will be a home-coming celebration for the soldiers of Neshoa county given at this place Aug 25th under the auspices of the U D F Lodge Soldiers and friends from other counties are also invited to come to Chanute on the 25th and give the boys a tousing welcome.

Aug. 3—Color segregation and economic competition are the causes of the bloody race riots in Chicago, according to William Monroe Trotter, the Colored Peace Conference petitioner at Paris and secretary of the National Equal Rights League, who had just returned from the League Eastern headquarters at 2152 Fifth Avenue, New York City, which deliberated on the recent race riots. "If the United States does not appreciate the colored laborer enough to let him work for his bread by the sweat of his brow unmolested I know positively that the Republic of France, which knows no color line, will welcome the black American worker for the restoration of the devastated regions, especially unskilled labor." declared William Monroe Trotter, who says that France is the land of equality of rights.
