Mrs Malone of Poro Fame Finds Mother of Poet Destitute "An aneel, robed in spotless white Bent down and kissed the sleepin Night. Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone. Men saw the blush and called it dawn." dawn No other race, or white or black. When bound as thou wert, to the rack. So seldom stooped to grieving; No No other rate, when free again; Forgot the past and proved them men, so noble in forgiving. Go on and up! Our souls and eyes Shall follow thy continuous rise; Our ears shall list thy story And proudly tune their lyres to sing of Ethiopia's glory." Who wrote the above lines? Doe anybody know? Yes, everybody knows, but many have forgotten that the author was PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR. Would any body suspect that the great poet's mother in less than 15 years after his death does not know where her winter's coal is to come from? This astounding fact was brought to light by that peerless 100 unassuming businesswoman, Mrs. Malone of Pero Fame, whose recit in last week's issue of the Baltimore Afro-American is heart reaching. She was visiting the home of the poet on her way to the session of the Business League, sitting in Philadelphia last month. Really it takes a woman to find out things. If they need improving Henece Vingilh's—Dux femina facti. and Ruskin's oft repeated verity: "The soul's armor is never well set to the heart unless a woman's heart has braced it, and it is only when she braces it loosely that the honor of manhood falls." Men have passed and even visited the Dunbar Home, notwithstanding one of the Y.M.C.A. secretaries in Dayton admitted that he did not know of its existence. But these men contented with dropping a coin in the little receptacle on the table and passing on in silence. Now let's see! The noble woman of the race have bought a home of the great Doughass. They are affectionately making it a shrine, place of pilgrimage. Cannot we men, see to it that Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, who did the race and the world, for that matter, no little service in giving such a son, has, at least, her home made comfortable, and herself a plenty to eat and wear? William H. Dawley, Jr. 2126 Tracy Ave., Kansas City, Mo "I believe the federal governmen should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair nam of America. "I believe the federal government America should be guaranteed the the enjoyment of all their rights that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them in all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." —Senator Harding's Speech of Acceptance, Marlon, O. July 22, 2010. CHIEF GRAND MENTOR VISITS TABORIAN HOME. Chief Grund Mentor, A. M.

His last financial effort was a mock annual conference, which created much interest in the church and the results were gratifying in every respect. There were four districts with presiding elders and each elder had from six to eight preachers in her district. The San Hill District, Rev. Jno. Doc, A. D. "P. E.", in the person of Mrs. Susan Mason, raised $78.80. Clean Water District, Rev. Samuel Goodall, D. D. P. E., raised $72.33, in the person of Mrs. Alice McAdoo; Louis District, Rev. T. H.

Poincixter, D. D. P. E., in the person of Mrs. Gaddison, raised $38.80. There were also four evangelists who did good work. One sister, Ella B. Jones, brought in $1.25 to the conference. All the leading workers were women except the Bishop, Rev. Culpepper, D. D. L. L. D. in the person of Mr. Frank Wilson. Mr. Wilson showed much interest in the work all the way through, presided well and made an excellent Bishop. The brethren of the church, altho not leaders, responded liberally to the call of the sisters and many friends out of town (space will not permit us to give names) also sent donations from $1 to $5 for which the church thanks them and assures them it was highly appreciated. The conference workers only had one month in which to work and raise $342.16, which was used to pay our educational assessment for Quindare School, and the remainder, $291.16, went to the trustees' indebtedness of repairing the parsonage. At the close of the conference the church extended a vote of thanks to these great workers. BUNCETON, MISSOURI The Negro Fair was a great success, yet the weather was somewhat unfavorable.

COTTRILL IN THE WEST. Former Collector of Port Pays Senator Harding High Tribute On Wednesday, Sept. 22, Greater Kansas City had the pleasure of inspecting and being inspected by a man of distinction and unique position. Hon. Chas. Cottrill of Toleda, O., is indeed distinguished because he has served his country faithfully and well, in the capacity of Collector of Revenue at Port Monolulu during the Taft administration, and at present a member of the National Republican Committee. He is credited by "Diane Itumor" with being a personal friend and advisor of Senator Harding, serving as such in a highly confidential capacity. He addressed a large audience at the Auditorium Theatre. Wednesday evening upon political issues, and in eloquent and burning periods, pictured Senator Harding as dedicated definitely and irrevocably to the protection of the Negro, in the exercise of all the rights of American Citizenship and by Federal Aid to put down lynching. During the day he visited Lincoln High School and addressed the student body mainly upon the necessity for thorough preparation and excellence of achievement. He called attention to the fact that he was addressing them upon the 68th anniversary of the "Proclamation of Emancipation," promulgated by the maartred President for whom the school was named. He also voiced his surprise and gratification at the sight of the more than 700 High school students, the same being nearly as many as there are colored students in all the high schools of the city of Chicago. The students led by their cheer leaders, accorded him a demonstration which must linger long in his memory. He spent Thursday in Kans. City, Kansas. After breakfasting at the home of Tillford Davis, Jr., he was then conducted to Sumner High school nearby, where he addressed the student body in a highly interesting and instructive talk on by both Faculty and pupils. In the course of his remarks, he took occasion in finely chosen words and Hawaii, which was greatly enjoyed vividly descriptive phrases, to draw the distinction between Democracy in its general and its specific forms, and urged his hearers not to confuse the Democracy which Pres. Wilson was dishing out in Paris with the brand of Democracy he was offering to the homefolk. At the conclusion of his remarks, Dr. S. H. Thompson, took him for a tour of the city in his superb seven passenger car. COFFEYVILLE. KANSAS Mr. J. W. Bolin of Clartimore, Okla. was the guest of Miss H. E.
