JOSEPH BOOKER, TOOL OF ARKANSAS WHITES, SEEKS TO HAVE ROBT. HILL TURNED OVER TO LYNCHERS Negro Educator Tries to DefendState in WhichIgnorance Predominates. The following letter along with a newspaper clipping have been received by Governor Allen: Helena, Ark., March 2, 1920 Governor H. J. Allen, Topoka, Kansas. Dear Sir: I am enclosing you a clipping from the Arkansas Gazette written by Joseph A. Booker, one of the foremost Negroes in our state and president of the Arkansas Baptist College. Please consider this as we wish you to consider all other data you have before you. Yours very truly, F. E. F. KITCHENS, Sheriff . . . Sheriff Kitchens is using this misguided, self-conceited, self-appointed leader, and we venture the assertion that Booker is, and has been a tool in the hands of the white roughnecks who stoop to anything to impede Negro progress in Arkansas, all of his life. Sheriff Kitchens nor the Arkansas Gazette would have given space to this man. Booker had be been other than a Judas, writing an article telling something of the mis-treatment of the colored people by soldiers and white citizens in the Elaine riot, where the white men were deputized to keep order whilst hundreds of colored men and women were put in stockades or enclosures where it became filthy and unbearable; where the officers of the law from constable up to the highest officer of the state will not recognize the rights of colored citizens where their rights are involved with a white person and all the courts from the inferior to the highest so recognizes and makes the difference by upholding these mean and dishonest officers The sheriff speaks of your presidency of a college. We venture the assertion that if you would come to Topeka, Kansas and apply for a position as teacher you could not pass an examination to teach in the primary grades of this state, yet this sheriff would have the Governor of Kansas believe that you represent some real successful, high-class educational institution. We have not saw or visited your school but venture to say that the building's unkeep is in a sorry and deplorable condition, that the sanitary condition is bad, that your faculty is poorly paid and they would not teach in this sheriff's college if they could pass a creditable examination where experienced and active educators are wanted and receive good salaries. Now as to this letter as published Sunday, Feb. 25th and sent to the Governor's office: WARNED TO DEWARE OP FALSE REPORTS Nergest Urged by Joseph A Booker to Promote Better Relations To the Editor of the Gazette I wish to thank you personally for the manner in which the white white press came to the defense of the three colored commissioners in the matter of having it. L. I will return to the state for fair trial. We do not have any sling of conscience from what we did, but we might have had should we have failed to do what seems to us a plain duty. But I would like to say a few addidn words in this connection to my people over the state and over the country. I am especially talking to the Arkansas colored people. I have lived in Arkansas more than 50 years. It was in this state that I first saw the light. I have been permitted to advance my own personal growth, and at the same time, watch the state grow. I know what the state was in other days, know what it really is now, and I have a good idea what it will be in the near future if the two races will be allowed to pull together for its upbuilding. I have seen conditions very bad in this state during the reconstruction period, and have been permitted to live long enough to see all these conditions vanish, and fortune has smiled on both races so that at this time Arkansas is the foremost state in the South in he ad justment and cultivation of race relations. At this very moment Arkansas Negroes own more than 20,000 farms, thousands of beautiful homes in various towns and cities of the state, splendid bank accounts in every progressive town or city, strong wagons and teams by the thousands, the best of horses and buggies, bicycles and automobiles. Who sold these things to my people? They own fine church houses, private schools and colleges, and have had provided for them some of the best public schools in the whole country with principal teachers and associate teachers working on living salaries, just like white people. Would it not be far better to mag- THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF THE TOWN OF BROOKLYN.

I say it boldly and above board, that the Northern newspaper, whether edited by white or black, that continues to stir up race strife by magnifying and falsifying interracial occurrences in this state and in the South is far more detrimental to the Negroes than anyone or few white "enemies" that such a paper may point out. Thousands of Negroes have gone North to better their condition, and have failed to do so because the North is not the Utopia that they sought. Northern customs have failed to be a panacea for our lilies. We have finally to turn our faces back toward Arkansas and the South for what we want and what face that stubborn fact and do the we can get in abundance. Why not best we can to cultivate the best of friendship among the white people all over the state? This has been my habit, and I have never been shot at arrested, mobbed, since I have been in this world. Let me once again appeal to my people to spurn the yellow journalism which we are feeding afftening, and turn to our home papers, schools, business enterprises here in the state for what we want. There is a better day coming, and I shall remain in the state to see it. JOSEPH A. BOOKER --- We are glad the white press of Arkansas came to some black man's relief for this is the first time we have ever heard of them coming to their relief, but to the contrary they have done everything to keep the colored citizens in a state of peonage and humiliation to feel they are inferior to the white people. It makes no difference how much wealth or intelligence that colored citizens may possess or how law abiding, the editorials of the white press keeps that idea before the public by insisting on J'm Crow laws and black laws on the statute books. The lowest toughest white criminals are better respected than the most highly cultured person of color. This letter of Bookers would not have been published had it not contained the substance which stands for cowardice and inferiority. You know the race has always been handicapped and betrayed by people of their own race at the very time they begin to make progress. You are letter known by that old term men before the war—"an old white folk rigger." This class always informed the overseer or the slave owner of the kind of prayers that were being offered up to the Lord for their deliverance or some plan whereby they could reach the underground railroad and escape to freedom. Now you, Joseph A. Booker college president have assumed this role in Arkansas and in this case of R L. Hill, who is now in Kansas where he is hell not only to save his own life and freedom but to save a disgrue on the colored race and the state of Arkansas. Knowing that colored men are not allowed to sit on juries or have a man of their race or those who believe in fair play to plead his case or a court that would be fair and knowing Hill to be innocent of any crime, the good people of both races have joined into an appeal to keep him away from the land of heredal the king. You and your commission have gone to the wrong TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 12. 1920 source for defense. The white press nor the white people can defend you for the unpardonable sin of demanding Governor Allen to return a man to be turned over to an element of people who would as soon lynch and burn him as to take a drink of water and you could not help yourself nor your commission and if you knew who the leaders of the mob were you would dare open your mouth. On the other hand if you knew the mob was gathering you would make no attempt to join with the officers and insist upon protection, but you would go in hiding until the storm had passed. You lled to Governor Allen when you said Illll would have a fair trial when you and all of the race would have to keep still. Further you cannot point to a single instance where a colored and white person had a controversy in court where the white person didn't win if the colored person proved conclusively and beyond all doubt they were right, unless some white man or woman came to their rescue. Talking about your plain duty, colored people have no duty to perform when it comes to exercising manhood for justice. You say you have been permitted to grow and prosper in Arkansas. Well, that is just what we complain of. Very few colored people are permitted to grow and prosper in your state unless he be the tool of a certain white gang as the following abstract from the laws of your state will prove. You claim to be an educator and leader and here is what you submit to in order to live in this hell on earth. Abstract from Arkansas Statutes Seperate Cars or Seats for White and Colored on Street Cars: . . . Sec. 6754 Digest of Arkansas Laws. "All companies, persons or corporations operating any street car line in any city of this state are hereby required to operate separate cars or to separate the white and colored passengers in the cars operated for both, and to set out and designate in each car operated for both, the seats for white and those for the colored races. "6755—The conductor or other person in charge of any car or coach so operated shall in 1115 judgment, when he deems it proper, exercise authority to increase or diminish the space set out to either race, but shall in no case make any discrimination as to the quality of the accommodations. "6758— Any company failing to operate separate cars or to set aside separate seats or equipments for the white and colored races shall be fined in any sum not to exceed $25.00." White Convict or Prisoner Hand Cuffed to Neorge. "???—It shall be unlawful for any white prisoner to be handcuffed to any Negro. "7774—Any officer who shall violate this section of the laws shall on condition be fined not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars." Separate Waiting Rooms by Rollnade "112 All railroads are hereby required to seperately maintain at each railroad station of their respective lines, seperate waiting rooms for white and colored passengers. The same to be equal in accommodations." "Separate Schools. "9524-All boards of education are hereby required to establish and operate separate schools for white and colored children and to provide teachers of the same race as are the pupils over which they preside, and with qualifications as teachers equal with the teachers of the opposite race." Separate Coaches on Railroad Trains. "7661-All railroads are hereby required to operate and maintain on each train separate coaches for the white and colored passengers or separate apartments therein of equal accommodations in all things." Iliteracy—Arkansas Stands First of all the States. William Mack, in his work on Civil Rights, edition of 1918, says: Arkansas "The per cent of illiteracy in this state, due as in other states of the Old South to the prejudice against the Negro population which in numerical numbers far outnumber the whites, by the population who by force maintain their control, is very great. The illiteracy of this locality being however in no wise confined to the Negro population. A large per cent, or perhaps 40 per cent of the white population of Arkansas, being illiterate, having little if any education, being whimsical, superstitious, law and shifftiness with a low degree of respect for law. The percentage of illiteracy of the white people of this state being especially large—greater than that of the white people of any other of the states of the Old South" --- How could Hill be guaranteed justice and a fair trial under such conditions? Can you imagine a Negro to be other than a tool of this ignorant, vicious white element who would ask the return of one of his race to a state that has never in its history been fair to him nor his people. Under date of February 21, comes the following story which not only speaks for itself, but plainly shows why this colored man Booker has remained in Arkansas all these years in ease. He has accepted whatever "Mr. Billy" chose to offer without a marmur or protest. It further proves that Booker is the tool in assisting in carrying out the dovish designs of the whites against his race. The story runs thus: Negro Can't Ask for His Earnings in Arkansas 'Little Rock, Ark., Feb 21.—After J. Thomas Morsell a Negro, had worked a whole month for Acting Governor Robertson, he, naturally, expected his pay Robertson, a Southern white man, man, couldn't see the connection, especially since Negroes in Arkansas are not expected to be "fresh" enough to demand even wages of a white man. The Negro, who had worked as a porter for Robinson at the state house, persisted in asking for his pay, when Robertson lifted his foot and kicked the offending African off the premises." --- Do you think the pleadings of Booker can convince a broad minded fair white man like Governor Allen that Hill would be given a fair trial in that land of brutality and ignorance? Never while the sun shines. The colored people of the North don't get their rights nor wealth by permission from any white person, but by their own individual efforts, and the officers of the law protects every man in his efforts to rise. So what you have acquired the fifty years of your existence in Arkansas is through the permission of the white people to let you do so, and to obtain that right you will sell and damn the whole race for the little clouded and stolen privilege you may enjoy at the dictation of "Marse John." Now as to the two races pulling together, the colored of Arkansas have never pulled against the whites, but the white man has deceitfully and arrogantly pulled against the colored people. Look at the colored sons and daughters grown up in the South by colored mothers and white fathers. This looks as if the race either pulled half way or the white man forced his way, and the latter is what he did and is now forcing his immorality and vice upon the race and is at this very moment living in open adultery and roaring families by colored women, and von Mr. Prof. Hoooker, of the Baptist college of Arkansas know it your head is shut and you are blind to this fact. This is how the two races are pulling together. The reconstruction period was the best time the colored people ever had in Arkansas. That state then produced some very brainy colored men who were progressive and stood up for the rights of the race. Men like the late Judge M. W. Gibbs and many others who have passed to the beyond but left their mark only to be obliterated by men of your ilk. You ought to read up on what colored men accomplished for Arkansas in the days of reconstruction and talk it to your colored pupils in the schools. Now as to all these farms, horses and vehicles of all kinds. You want to know who sold them to the race, of course we know the white man sold them to the colored people and you are naturally proud of it. This is what caused the Elaine trouble and what we complain of. The colored people think the time is now at hand that race business people should WICHITA PEOPLE ARE PROSPEROUS WICHITA PEOPLE ARE PROSPEROUS We visited Wichita and met our old friend, Lieut. W A. Bettis, editor of the Wichita Protest and also the Rev. Mr. Sims, editor of the Negro Star. Both seem to be doing nicely. We had the pleasure of attending St. Paul A. M. E. church of which the Rev. J. R. Ransom is pastor, and was called upon to make some remarks. Rev Ransom is progressing and the colored people are anxious to see him elected Bishop, and from sell some of this product to their own race and are now going about trying to organize mercantile companies to do the very thing you and your white bosses do not want to see done. This will mean colored merchants on a large scale, colored clerks, large land owners; the doing away with peonage on farms and lumber camps, good school houses in every district, good teachers who know something and who will receive good salaries; those will teach by appointments at the hands of colored school boards or trustees not by designing and criminal white men who seek to destroy the virtue of most every colored lady who applies or some poor Eighth grade colored male teacher who has no opinion of his own who can teach the children absolutely nothing will be employed in her stead. Yes the colored people who own all this property and use it at the sufferance of the white man, for when it comes to defending their rights to this property, they can do nothing for they have nothing to do in the making or exercising of the laws; therefore the white man can take or destroy the colored man's property or confiscate it at will. No property is of any consequence when the owner cannot vote for or against those who have the say of taxing it or passing on the legality of property rights. No county officer will listen to a man who can't exercise the right of franchise. This is greater than all the land and personal property in Arkansas. Personal and civil liberty is what these people who can own this wealth want and Mr. Joseph (Almighty) Booker, they want it and must have it. When the colored people come into these rights then the passing of this class of white men and yourself will take place, and innocent men like Hill will not be forced to seek protection in another state. Now Bro. Hooker, you tell another falsehood when you say you have the best schools and the white and colored teachers get living wages. We know the average colored public school teacher in Arkansas does not get enough salary to live on and in most towns and cities the colored teachers of the same grade get less than the whites. The school system is rotten and you have more poor, ignorant white people in Arkansas than another state in the Union. Now you lie again about colored people returning to Arkansas from the North. We will pay you one dollar for every name you furnish of a real progressive, intelligent man or woman who believes in personal liberty that has come North and returned to Arkansas. We are not speaking of the type like yourself, who think they can't live unless some white man says so or who are too cowardly to stand alone in the fight for aoothold in this big world. Trot 'em out! We'll pay the bill. To prove that you do not know what you are talking about or you think that all the people are foolish why did so many colored people leave Arkansas within the last three years and after the Elaine riot if they were doing so well and being treated the same as whites? Now as to Northern newspapers and the injury to the people of the South, you and your white associates must not be doing the fair, square thing if these papers affect the mind of the people. No papers published in the south disturb us either in the North, East or West only when you mistreat the colored citizens as you did in the Blaine riot, then you are going to hear from these papers. It was our letter and editorial to the governor of your state that caused the calling of a meeting of both races at Little Rock that placed you on that commission. Although it has proven a sorry appointment we feel that if it was to do over again the sensible members of the race in that state would no doubt object. Of course you have never been shot at or arrested. No Southern white man's "uglier" who does his bidding is ever harmed. Now Mr. Joseph (Almighties) Booker, big president of the Baptist college of Arkansas, your whole letter published in the Sunday Gazette of Little Rock shows you are a trucker, a tool and flaxer in the hands of designing white men of that state who use every effort to rob and cheat colored people out of their labor property, liberty, personal rights and our women of their virtue and integrity. Your fifty years in assisting them in this is too long and too much trouble to endeavor to change you at this late date, but let us say, Kansas will never return Robert Hill over to such a crowd as you represent.

Mrs. Della Junkin who visited the home of her cousin, Mr. William Downing in Newton, returned to her home in Bloomfield, Iowa. In Wichita everyone looks to Mrs. Ada Barton Coulter as one of the best business women in Kansas and the Middlewest. She has not only paid for the brick building where she conducts a prosperous hotel, has also purchased another brick building on North Main street. Mrs. Coulter is rated as being worth something like forty thousand dollars. She's a woman full of race pride and had it not bien for her the good people would not have owned any property on N. Main street. Mrs. Coulter went to A. NRS. ADA BARTON COULTER Wichita a few years ago comparatively speaking without a dollar, but she now owns the building she occupies which gave the colored people a foothold on Main street. In addition to this Mrs. Coulter owns a handsome residence in Topeka on West street and other valuable holdings. She is a member of the Baptist church, a hard working lady and a help to the race. She is one of the shrewdest politicians in the state and can be relied upon to do her part in furthering the best interest of the race. Her husband is a member of the fire department. If we could find ten colored men in each state in the Union who had the push and energy and her brain power, the race would soon take its place along side of other races in the business world. May Mrs. Coulter live long and continue to make history for her sex and race. Mr. Peter Coleman is doing nicely in the barber business. He conducts what might be called an "equal rights" shop with a soft dring parlor and cigar stand in connection. He is one of Wichita's leading business men. We visited the office of Judge Freel C. Helm, who is located in the Massonic Temple and is enjoying a fine practice. Attorney Freeman L. Martin is doing nicely and has a fine practice. ROSES TOO LATE Why is it that cheerful and loving words are only spoken, and pleasant thoughts expressed after a person is dead? What a pleasure it would be to them, while they are living, to hear these pleasant thoughts expressed. Yet, how many go through life with scarcely any kind words to cheer life's journey. No one has the time to stop, or even speak pleasantly to him, which would help cheer him on the way, or lift up his heart by doing a kind deed. Why is it that during a person's life time we keep all the sunshine to ourselves instead of helping a person's life path to be clear as a sunny day? Why is it that we wait until his heart is stilled in death, and cannot be thrilled by even a sound? Then we speak of some noble deed, or some act of kindness, and many to speak of his praises, but it is then too late, his ears are closed in death, and cannot hear those sweet expressions that are spoken; they came too late. Why not scatter the beautiful roses while they are living? Why not let them enjoy the sweet fragrance while life can receive its blessings? Why not hostow your love and kindness while they are living? Who cares for the beautiful roses that are placed upon their caskets, after they are dead? Love is shown too late for them to appreciate it. Upon the beautiful flowers that wait their fragrance in the breeze God has written "None of us liveth to himself." (MRS.) H.

Mrs. Harper unquestionably is the most talented woman so far that has appeared in our community, and the Ministers have done their duty to indorse her, and to start off by arranging a great mass meeting in one of our largest churches that the greatest number of our people can hear, after this she will appear in the several churches at the invitation of individual Ministers. Owing to the inclement weather our attendance both at Sunday School and divine services was small but the spirit of each service was not abated. Great preparations are being made for the Aniversary Exercises of our Deaconesses which will take place Sunday at 3 p. m. We cordially invite all Ministers and Deaconesses, and all the friends to attend. HONEST OLD ABE Our present day civilization rests on the foundation work of the Greeks, Romans, Teutons, and Hebrews. "If the Greek was to enlighten the world if the Roman was to rule the world, if the Teuton was to be the common discipline and emissary of both, it was from the Hebrew that all were to learn the things that belong to another world." The Hebrews bequeathed to us our ideals of character and personal conduct blending in relationship to the one God, Jehovah, father of us all. Their living representative of the highest type of personal purity and virtue was Jesus Christ, born in the Roman Province of Bethlehem of Judea, 1920 years ago. Though one of them he was not accepted by the Jews as the true Messiah since he did not move as a temporal ruler but rather as a spiritual ruler, one to rule the hearts of men from his time through countless ages as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus was the founder and main spring of our Christian religion and all of our worship devotion, and praise is to him. Jesus Christ is our guide and model of perfection, the embodiment of human kindness, love and truth. We worship and revere the Savior of the world and our hope of personal salvation rests in his hands. Coming down to modern times the nearest parallele to the life and principles for which he stood may be found in the life of a man who was born in a log cabin in Hardin County Kentucky, February 12, 1800—Abraham Lincoln. He was the sixteenth president of the United States, the emancipator of four million slaves—the savior of the Union and the principles of a centralized democracy with "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" and in consequence the greatest world character the nineteenth century produced Without going into the familiar details of the life of Lincoln and the Master it will be seen that the circumstances surrounding their birth, early training and type of training, their ultimate mission in the world, and the attitude of their contemporaries toward them, all bear points of similarity. "He is diecised and relicted of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Lincoln likewise had a large part of the nation arrayed against him and the feeling of the European family of nations was against him. His stand on the grave problems of state was warmly and openly criticised by even his colleagues. Finally by a strange coincidence he met his death at the hands of an assassin on good Friday, the same day on which our Lord was crucified. God the Father sent his son Jesus into the world that the world through him might be saved. "He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed." In the manner God the Father sent Lincoln into the world to be the sage, the liberator of four million human beings from the shackles of slaves. He was sent into the world to indicate the principles of the founders of our nation that "all men are created free and equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights and among those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Lincoln is the embodiment of the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man. He knew no race prejudice, no color line, no class distinction. His simple creed was "mature toward none and charlie for all." Lincoln was sent into a world to prove that honesty is the best policy. This was to such a degree that his name goes down in history as "Honest Abe." We worship and recognize first of all Jesus Christ. In casting around for a second we need only to turn to Lincoln whose life should be an inspiration to all generations. For choice literature we recognize first of all the Bible as a second we must consider the life of Lincoln which was so much like unto that of many of us to lay a struggle against poverty, against adversity, and against abuse. To the young people particularly the Recorder recommends the life of Lincoln for careful study and consolation. To be ignorant of Lincoln and the principles for which he stood is to be lacking in education. Lincoln is dead yet his spirit lives and like John Brown his soul is marching on -Editoriel From The Saint John Recorder.

CHUMS OF BOYHOOD RALLY TO LOWDEN THE LOWDEN SWIMMING HOLE Early Friends of Governor Bee Village Famous as Cradle of President —"Born in Sunrise and Been Awake Ever Since." Sunrise, Minn., a sleepy little village with a population of 200, has found a place in the political sun. Politics has put the village on the map and it expects to stay there. For Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, one of the leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, was born in Sunrise fifty nine years ago. His boyhood chums and neighbors are conscious of the fame thrust upon them. Perhaps the most enthusiastic Lowden for president club in the country is the one that meets in Sunrise, now in the village hall, now in Andrew Lind's general store. It is many years since the Lowdens made their home in Sunrise—more than a half a century, in fact—but the village it never forgot in the family, least of all "little Frank." The old shed where Lorenzo Lowden, the governor's fall, had his blacksmith shop still stands. It is the property of the Lowden in children, used only for storage purposes—and for the ghost games with the folk say, were started by Ita'la Lowden. The Lowden home still stands, too. It is an old fashioned dwelling that occupies a rise of ground two miles from the village. There is a third building in Sunrise that figured in the governor's lowhood. That is the schoolhouse. Lorenzo Lowden labored to build it so his boy could have a schooling. The one room structure is but a stone's throw from the blacksmith shop. It is no longer a school, having been succeeded by a more modern building, but is now the village hall. A picture of the Illinois governor hangs on the wall, and under its roof the Lowden club holds meetings. The Sunrise folk are full of stories about Frank Lowden. "He was a studious child," said Henry Voss, one of the governors who describes "After he had learned to read he used to walk back and forth between the school and home, a distance of two miles, carrying a book before his face. The boys would speak to him and he wouldn't answer. If we annoyed him when he was interested he would stop and trounce us. Or," Voss added, with a twinkle, "at least he'd try to." In a bond of the river near town is the swimming hole where Frank's career was almost cut short. The boy was passionately fond of the water and in the spring could scarcely wait for the he to go out. "Snow right over there in the center?" asked Voss. "That's where Frank nearly downed. Trying to do what the older and stronger boys did he got up on the springboard and plunged off in ten feet of water. Then, Voss saw his head lob up, go down, come up a second time and again disappear. Then dived in a few feet down the current cut, in him by the hair and dugged him ashore. We pointed the water out of him and in a few minutes he was as tight as ever." "Lowland's swimming hole" is still popular with the boys of the neighborhood. Many of the governor's old friends are now at North Branch, ten miles from Sunnyside. Among them is S. W. Kungan, who had something to do with rank's education. "I taught Frank to hunt squirrels," said Rumyam. "We covered many a mile of this country with our gun and dogs." The Lowden's left Sunrise in the late Styles. The last picture of Frank's boyhood that remains with the old residents is that of a sturdy little chap, dressed for travel, marching off down the road behind the "prairie schooner" that bore all the Lowden effects to their new home in Iowa. There was nothing forlorn about the picture. The boy was cheerful, widenake and on the lookout for something to do. Alertness was characteristic of him. Said Henry Voss, the village philosopher, speaking of his old friend: "Frank was born here in Sunrise, and it kind of appears that he has been awake ever since." FARMERS TO PUSH LOWDEN Harvey J. Sconce Quits Agricultural Post to Work for Governor. Harvey J. Sconce, a former baseball star of the University of Illinois, has resigned as president of the Illinois Agricultural association to devote his entire time to organization work among the farmers of the middle West in the interest of Gov. Frank O. Lowdon's candidacy for president. He will make a tour of North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and other states talking to the farmers. $1.00 Brings This Phonograph TO YOUR HOME PRINTICAL PHONOGRAPH COMPANY Every period in the history of the world's advancement has had its chief characters to champion great principles and lead on important reforms. These characters are the pioneers of new departures for the betterment of the conditions of mankind. Sometimes they come from the summit of society, but more often from the rank and file of the plain people, generally from obscurity, the cradle of genious. All parts of the globe have geen theeir birth places and every race has produced them. Behind all proper advancement is one eternal, ever present, infinitely wise and all controlling first cause, and that first cause is God, Ruler of the universe. But upon whatever lines the leaders of reform have advanced, they have been confronted at every step by formidable oppositions and misrepresentations. Torture and frequently death has been the penalty. Instead of the church being the happy exception, it has furnished the most appalling ordeals through which the leaders of progress have been forced to pass. In 1760 Richard Allen was born of slave parentage, in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., but was sold with his parents into Deleware. At the age of seventeen, he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church which was as unpopular at that time, as its colored member. In 1782, he was licensed to preach, being the first colored man licensed in the M. E. church in this country. Such was his thirst for liberty, he purchased his freedom and returning to Philadelphia joined St. George's M. E. church, where he was permitted to preach to the colored peo- 48,000 Drug Stores Seillt.

Phone Black 4842 723 Locust St. pleat at 5 o'clock meetings. Through his influence the colored members increased to such extent that their white brethren were greatly anumosed. Tradition says, "The first evidence of this was, the passing of a rule compelling colored members to sit, but one in a pew and that next to the wall." This proved unsatisfactory as the building soon became lined with colored members. Numerous other orders were made until prejudice, at the altar of God; became so intense and arrogant that while at prayers the colored members were pulled from their knees and ordered to the back of the church. It was on one of these occasions that Richard Allen said, "If you will wait until prayers are over, I will bother you no more." He then got up and Allen's sons and daughters have been getting up every since. For the reason of the various mistreatments, they resolved to withdraw from the church. A committee consisting of Richard Allen and several others was appointed to select a lot with the view of building a house where they might worship God with the freedom which their conscience dictated. A lot having been purchased and a house erected the little hand which had withdrawn from St. George's church, met to decide what religious body they should connect themselves with All but Richard Allen and Absolom Jones decided in favor of the church of England, the Episcopal. However Richard Allen was invited to be pastor but refused asking, "I am a Methodist. I think that form of worship, at present, suits the colored people best." Having bargained for another lot, he purchased an old blacksmith shop, which he had fixed up as a house of worship. Those of the Methodist faith soon gathered about him, and the Allenites as they were called increased in numbers daily. Then began a series of tedious and expensive lawsuits and perplexing oppositions from their white brethren, who tried to get their property. Finally victory was gained, a charter obtained from the General Assembly of Pennsylvania and a new church erected which was dedicated in 1777, by Bishop Ashbury and called Balthol. This was the origin of the African Methodist Episcopal church Twenty-nine years later, in 1916 a convention of colored Methodists from several states assembled in Philadelphia and organized the first general conference of the A M E church which gave the church its connectional form. Richard Allen was elected and ordained the first Negro bishop in America. As the result of this good man's life we have the great A M E church of today.
