Gener move Bishop B Episcop are on the Gre ring at St. Louis- urch Need More TIREDOF THECZAR The A. M. E. General Conference Should Remove Bishop Parks from the Fifth Episcopal District. All Eyes are on the Great Religious Gathering at St. Louis---Does the Church Need More Bishops? The general conference of the A. M. B. churches will convene at St. Louis, Mo., Monday, May 3, 1920, to elect two bishops and probably four and to fix the ecclesiastical laws for the guidance of the church. The bishops are paid a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars per year and traveling expenses and what they get out of their various churches, which have been visited during the year. Now the Fifth district of which the Rev. H. Blanton Parks is presiding bishop, constitutes five conferences and we presume many other districts have equally as many conferences. Now why should we load so many bishops other than to put more men in line for this pay. We hereby sound a note of warning to the men in the conference to be careful what they do as the people are the ones who have to pay this enormous sum which goes out in salaries to bishops, and which is unnecessary. The cash has to come out of the pockets of hard working people who can't understand why so many good ministers are leaving the work and seek BIG TIME FOR KANSAS INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE Rev L. K.

The answer is that the bishops and presiding elders work hardships upon the upright ministers who want to do the square thing. We think that men should be selected who are of good moral standing in the community from which they come and the state at large, and men who are acquainted with the work of a district, and are up-to-date on all questions which confront the people. We think the ministers and bishops should be removed every four years and not to exceed five years at the limit. The colored Baptists have made a failure by adhering to a democratic policy of governing the church and letting the ministers stay as long as a part of the people are pleased with them, as a result they soon form into factions and the church becomes divided and the first thing one knows is that the dissatisfaction has broken away and gone across the street and erected another church. If they followed the policy of the Methodists, factional rights would not exist and the race would be in harmony and peace and the colored 2-Physical Culture Exhibition by Young Women—Institute Campus.

In several states there are many conditions which work hardships upon the people, too numerous to be here mentioned. Now for the Fifth district, concerning the Rt. Rev. Bishop Parks. He has been on the district for ten years, about four more than he should have served. The ministers of the district are not satisfied and want him changed for many reasons. First they want a bishop who will live on the work, and who can be seen and heard from often, and to keep in reach of the district ministers and presiding elders, so if necessary they might call upon each other to talk over matters without having to spend a whole year's salary to go to Chicago where the bishop is nicely housed in a palatial stone mansion and when it is too cold he will not put himself to any trouble for his district. The ministers of the district claim that Bishop Parks has at times given not more than two days' notice for a meeting, and before some could notified the meeting was over. Other times they say he has called meetings and did not attend them. They think that he is not in harmony with the ministers of the various churches by reason of the fact that they have invited him to attend their church, and he even made promises to come and never kept the promise, and therefore there are still several churches in the district which he has never seen on the inside of. They want a bishop who will be on the job at all times. If shop Paths caused the general conference to overlook the proposition for the presacher's home, which, with improvements, is worth something like $2000. The home was donated by a white philanthropist, for that purpose. The home at prison is about to be rebuilt into the funds of the white people. There are some men who are aspiring for the bishop's place. Among those who are making a no shower and should be given consideration instead. Bob is also a fine man to the Roy Gordon, Hon. Which these men are strong in the way of church work as well as in the way of race pride. There are some bishops who are afraid to speak up for the advancement of the race, especially in regard to the conditions down South where the women are debaunched by white men, without the fear of law, such bishops are not following in the footsteps of the Saviour. We hope the general conference will make a good record by placing the work in the hands of good men. EDWARDS IN RACE FOR U.S.SENATOR We visited Eureka and had the pleasure of meeting the Hon. J. A. Edwards, who is a candidate for United States Senator. He says that he is making the campaign for the reason that Kansas needs a senator who will take up the business of the stockmen, farmer and laborer. He says he is a Kansan through and through and speaks the Kansas language, knows the industries and problems of Kansas. He asks to represent them in Washington. He has a large office and is bringing out campaign literature in earnest. His business is such that he will have to appoint some one to look after it for him, he says that he is a candidate from Kansas and will represent Kansas. Many letters are being sent out in the interest of Mr. Edwards' candidacy by his townsmen among them we reproduce the following: Eureka, Kansas, April 10, 1920. Mr. B. F. Warren, Topeka, Kansas. My Dear Sir: The Blacksmiths of Eureka are getting into politics. We feel that it is just as well for us to take the lead occasionally in politics as to always be led. We therefore are writing you in regard to our man for United States Senator, John A. Edwards, of Eureka, Kansas, our fellow townsman. He is a man we think everyone in Kansas should vote for at the August primary. He is running against Senator Charles Curtis, a man who has represented Kansas in Washington about thirty years. Should we elect Mr. Edwards, we will have a Senator who will accomplish much for the people of Kansas and one of whom the state will know. He is active, a man of good judgment, unusual ability, he is a splendid writer and speaker, and is square. He is the hardest working man in our town today. He has got- M. B. MR. A. M. HARROLD, CHIEF GRAND MENTOR OF THE KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR AND A LEADING CITIZEN OF OMAHA, ten wealthy working, and does not forget the men he worked with. He is a large land owner, livestock raiser, and a taxpayer. He's helped us develop oil; he was chairman of the County Red Cross; president of the Good Roads Association, and is now president of the First National Bank, a bank in which every man is treated like a gentleman and where every half way man can have credit. Mr. Edward* is always for his town and his county. He spends his money just like he makes it. He does not sit on it. He was our representative in Topeka in the legislature. He was Chairman of the Committee which wrote and passed the Bank Guarantee law. He introduced the Massachusetts Ballot Bill and passed the Shippers law. He was for two cent fare and for railroad legislation, and was instrumental in passing many JOHN H. BURKE other law and for the working people of Kan as We knew that when he was in the legislature, that we had a representative. You will never regret having supported Mr. Edwards for United States Senator. He is the kind of a man we need to help solve the problem or reconstruction. We will recruit your support and will be glad to hear from you and to have any suggestions that you may offer that will help towards the election of Mr. Edwards. Yours very truly, MORT A GOOTLD Wm. CHRISTEN, A MUGEL, Sec. tary LEAVENWORTH. KANSAS. The day, April 6, a very appreciable audience met at Baltham A. M. B. Church to hear Mr. Win. Pickens debrief or a very interesting address, very available at as occurred and many people were standing, by president Mrs. L. A. Hamilton and many of the members of the N. A. C. P worked faithfully to make the meeting a success. Every one enjoyed Mr. Phillips' weights from the which were very instructive not only to our coot but to take other trace as well. Interesting remarks were made by Warden Coulding of the Kansas state prison. Judge Brades, our state representative and Senator C. E. Smoulder, Mr Smoulder told the people there was one thing about our race that he disliked and that is we lack cooperation—not enough of our people in business and those that are in business do not get the patronage they should have. Some of our people are beginning to see their mistake when they fail to patronize our people. Mrs. Mattie L. Morton on Metropolitan avenue, entertained with a two course luncheon on Saturday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Wm. Montgomery, of Los Angeles, Calif., and daughter, Mrs. Harris, of Toronto, Canada. The other guests included Mrs. Almenda Black, of Kansas City, Mrs. James Chavers and Mrs. Wm Bly. After luncheon Mrs. Morton took her guests for an auto ride over the city. WITH FRIENDS IN NEBRASKA WITH FRIENDS IN NEBRASKA We have just returned from a visit to Omaha, Lincoln, Deatrice, Nebr., and Council Bluffs, Iowa. AT OMAHA we found the colored people improving wonderfully. We have always contended that our ministers should take a more active stand among the people and inspire them to take hold of the business world and build up from that source, as the church has a powerful influence upon the world. The ministers have a strong hold and along all lines the upbuilding and making of a better race will soon be if put to the betterment of the race accomplished. Rev C W Williams, pastor of the St John A M H. church, Omaha, has an extra fine following and is applying his energy in such a manner that It is a privilege to both man and woman of the race There was a proposition made by the Smith Manufacturing Co., that if a building was furnished they would rent it and give employment to colored women to make shirts, and after they had become efficient along this line they would be instructed in making walters and other fabrics. The proposition was accepted by Roy Williams and his church. They purchased a site and at 24th and Grant streets and erected thirteen a concrete building for which the manufacturers agreed to rent at $200 per month installing $100 worth of machinery and other appliances to carry on the manufacture of the shirts that was done through these channels they are now employing forty-five colored women who will make shirts work on buttons and buttonholes the women are working at no speed and increasing in such a cold manner that they in become very efficient in the work and their salaries are increasing in proportion. The women are also working on a basic system after they have learned the work but the pay it is is sufficient to give them comfort of living, and they have learned the work which may take four weeks but the bonus starts after the first week and of course make them others because of the fact that they take to the cool better than some others. The success of the factory is the largely the points of Mrs. Poley Alexander, who is a floor maturer. The proposition was first made to her when she was healthiness at the dining room where the members of his firm were taking meals. The subject which they discussed with her was "Why is not the colored women in business?" She was a member of Roy Williams' church, and being full of race pride, she took the proposition to the church and the present Price $1.50 Per Year factory is the result. In conversation with Mr. C. E. Duffington, superintendent and Mr. Charles Ibers, assistant manager of the factory respectfully, concerning the success factory No. 7 is having along the manufacturing line of shirts, they said that they were perfectly pleased and proud of the way in which the people backed them and the way the women worked. They said that the colored woman should be given a chance to learn a trade and become clerks, and employees in factories and stores as well as white women. There should be something more afforded to colored girls who are coming out of schools besides the kitchen and washtub. They should be induced to work at a trade. These gentlemen are as fine a white men as one would care to see. They are working in perfect harmony and the colored people should be congratulated on having such a fine Christian woman as Mrs. Alexander to overlook the work, which along assures success to the concern. Rev. Williams pastor, has been wonderfully progressing while in Omaha and owns quite a bit of property, the church property at 18th and Grant streets is renting at the rate of $70 per month. The value is now nearly $25,000. The property now occupied by the church was formerly poor property, but the church purchased the land for ten thousand dollars and is now increased in value and they are trying to buy other lots. Rev. Williams is one of the best church workers in the world, he is hardly ever equalled and never surpassed. The church has over a thousand members which together with thirty-five auxiliaries raised over $20,000 last year. He is the highest salaried minister of the A. M. B. church in the United States, and is highly respected by the people of the city. Both white and colored compliment him on the work he is doing: 1926 he is energetic, progressive and a working man. The personage is at 24h. Buttell's sit and is a fine one. They also own an automobile and are kept busy from Sunday to Sunday everything move along like clock work. St. John V M Church of Onassis stands in a class all by itself. There is not a church in the United States white or colored that equals it along, progressive lines and car- rying out race ideals. Rev. Williams is a man of business and politics and will always continue to do work for the uphill of the race. He is a man that can be depended upon Personal and Otherwise We visited at the home of Chief Grand Monitor A M Harold, of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, of the Kansas Nebraska jurisdiction. He succeeded the late Frank Wilson, who died after the grand session at Hutchinson in 1914. Mr Harold has the jurisdiction in the shape. The lodge can boast of over one thousand members with about five hundred children in the Tent. We heard nothing but praises from all sides concerning the work of Mr. Harold. He is paid a handsome salary and is highly respected by both white and colored in the work he is doing for the race. He is building up the order as well. The Tabors have purchased a fine piece of property at 121 Pratt avenue and have burned the mortgage. We had the pleasure of eating dinner with Daughter Sellars, who is Chief Priestess of the women's department, Marie H. Duncan Tabernacle No. 29. She says that she has a fine membership, something over 178. Mrs. Woodson is High Priestess of No 19 and is doing fine. We met also several subscribers of South Omaha, who are doing well as could be expected. We stopped at the Patton Hotel of which Mr. N. B. Patton is owner, he and his wife are getting along nicely and are among Omaha's finest people in business in that district. Mr. Patton was formerly of Topeki and his mother lives here at the present time. We met Mr J. W Andrews who is conducting a first-class tailor shop in South Omaha but is not being pressed with business at this season. Our old friend, Mr. Cyrus Terrell, who conducts the restaurant, is still on the job, and we do not know what the laboring class of people would do if it was not for him. Mr. and Mrs. H. Wills have one of the most beautiful and finest bungalows in the city. Mrs. Wills was formerly of Topka. They are both progressive and full of race pride. He has a number of friends. We met Rev. Quarrells, formerly of North Topeka, and are glad to note that he is doing well. He has made several investments in stocks, the Swift Leather Co., and oil stock. Mrs Minnie Brown who conducts the first-class mooning house was formerly of Atchison, Kansas. We were glad to note that she is doing well. Mr. J. L. Webster, formerly of Topeka, has a fine barbershop and rooming house at 13th street. He is making money and is at present owning considerable property.

Now Endorsed by Local People If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition which is absolutely essential to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal the stomach digests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs to properly perform their functions. Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the statements made daily by local people who have given Argo Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby. It is dispensed by all druggists. NOTICE TO THE HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH Mrs. Hearlett Harper, G. W. C. of the Household of Itch will visit the subordinate lodges on the following dates.

"GET OUT OF MY SUNSHINE" These are the words of Diogenes, the cynic philosopher to Alexander the Great, when Alexander ask him what favor could he do for him. The answer came: "Stand out of my sunshine." NOTICE TO BAPTIST. The Kansas Baptist State Sunday schools will take notice that the State B. Y. P. U. and State Sunday School Convention will hold its next session June 22, 23, 24 and 25 with the Calvary Baptist Sunday school in Coffeyville, A. W. Ross, pastor. The Sunday schools are requested to elect the program delegate and forward his name to this office as soon as you can arrange to select your representative, this is done that the program may be carried out with profit to those who may attend. The rule is to elect on the first Sunday in May, and send in the name at once. The secretary, Mrs. Harper, is out of the state therefore the name of your delegate should be sent to the president, until further directions. Will each Sunday school help to make the a hunner year for the convention? The State Convention troop under the President, Rev. Howen, is making great efforts in the world drive for Mission, and our convention must take part. Diogenes was not a rich man neither was he a free man at the time he spoke these words, but he was a manly man. He had in himself the true elements of manhood. There are many inventions to take the place of man's labor. I saw a machine the other day doing the work of forty men and two men were running it. The liqueptype machine takes the place of several men and many other inventions have cut out hard labor and saved time. But listen there has never been and never will be an invention that will do your thinking for you. That is your job it we ministers let the pew out think us they will be our masters. We cannot command their respect. Be a man, ask no special favors. Only ask those in your sunshine to stand out and then make it to your goal. Try this and you will know no failure this year. See to it "That I go to church because the way is dark and I am far from home and be no man gets your crown."—Rev T. A flowers in The Western Churchman. 11 I MONROI, President, 15th Clst. St., Topeka, Kans. ENID. OKLAHOMA. We, the patrons and friends of Washington school regret very much the loss of two such valuable teachers as Mrs. Dally and Miss Tate. Mrs. Dally has been with us for the past three years and Miss Tate during the past year. Their work has been above reproach and their leaving us will be greatly felt by their race; but it is a very pleasing thought to know that even though we are losers, some other community will be the gatherer. Not only will they be missed in our schools, but the church will lose two very ably consecrated Christian workers. It is indeed without hesitancy that we recommend them both to the people of their future homes, for whatever high positions they might seek to gain. May success crown them in their future careers.—Mrs. Sadle Lisk Reporter. LARNED NOTES.
