Topeka Gets the Supreme Encampment, K. of P. The Topeka Plainscale Negro Scientist Startles the World. LINCOLN DAY CLUB BANQUET A GREAT SUCCESS Kansans Gather at Most Successful Meeting in History of the Organization. The annual meeting and banquet of the Lincoln Day Club was held on Saturday evening at Metropolitan Hall. Topeka At 8.30 p.m. several hundred had gathered to listen to a well arranged program which had been prepared by the local committee, which departed from the usual order and instead of having all Colored speakers, selected as the principle speaker a prominent member of the other race, which proved a wise selection as well a striking success. Dr. Edmund J. Kulp, pastor of the 1st M. I. church of this city was the choice, and all who heard the remarkable discourse on the life of Lincoln will readily agree that the committee made a wise selection. His address showed he had given considerable time and study to the life and character of the great emancipator. He dwelt at length upon the various deeds of Lincoln which resembled in character those of the great Saviour. To the young and old, Dr. Kulp's simple JOHN H. HARRIS ATTORNEY ELISHA SCOTT Brilliant Young Attorney Who Wanted Elected President of the Lincoln Day Club but well chosen words were received with rapid attention. He recited many acts on the life of Lincoln which the average reader was unacquainted. He spoke of the contempt with which the educated members of his cabinet held toward him in view of his limited education and scholarly attainments. In this they were finally made to feel the keen edge of his brilliant judgement and astounding diplomacy. He commented on the many injustices heaped upon the black man by the southern autocrats, denouncing the evil practice of lynching as a disgraco to the nation. Prof J. P. King, of Sumner High school, Kansas City, Kansas, followed Dr Kulp, and in an ardent plea said it was not the political plums, nor the little loaves of bread and fishes that the Colored people wanted, that the civil and political rights which is guaranteed them by the constitution of those United States. This instead of the "swivel chair jobs" at the nation's capital is what the ruse asks of any party which might be in power in this country. They insist upon this and nothing more and will not be satisfied with nothing less. He condemned mob violence in bitter terms and declared that the nation would some day come into the full realization of the detrimental effect of the luching and burning of its loyal citizens. He was given a loud and loud ovation at the conclusion of his masterly address The president of the Lincoln Day Club, Hon Jurysey Green, of Kansas City, Kansas, struck the key-note in his speech when he said, the race ought to try and get closer together In every community where racial difficulties arise, that a general understanding would aid both races in the solution of these problems. He mentioned the step taken by Kansas City, Kansas, in bringing together the leading members of both races for the purpose of studying the situation and getting the best and most satisfactorily to all concerned Mr Pierce, of Junction City, a pioneer of the state, was present and spoke at length on Lincoln and the Colored race. He remarked that his race should treat the Colored man fair and that as far he was concerned, he had always been a strong admirer of the Colored man and advocated at all times the constitutional rights of the race. This was the first time in the history of the Lincoln Day Club banquet that Colored and whites have sat down together at a banquet in Topeka. Others who appeared on the program were. Invitation by Rev. J. J. Watson, pastor of Brown's chapel, Topeka, Solo by Miss Ruby McKnight, teacher in the city schools, who was heartily enriched and rendered two very fine selections, Miss Thelma Johnson of the Kansas Educational and Industrial Institute also sang Well and showed splendid qualities as a soloist 'Jackson's 23rd Reg band played throughout the evening which added greatly to the entertainment of the guests. Principal Bridgeforth spoke on Industrial Education as regards the race. Much credit is due Mr Thos Sneed and his corps of assistants for the elaborate banquet which pleased the large number who partook of the menu which included Sneed's famous peasum and sweet potatoes, barbequed pork, lamb and other toothsome dishes. The program was arranged and the many details of same, by Hon. T W Troupe, who served as Secretary of the Club. Too much cannot be said in praise of these gentlemen who did so much to make the affairs success. The hall was elaborately decorated with American flags and flowers which adorned the picture of Lincoln, the Emancipator. A number of white veterans sat thru the entire program and gave rapid attention to the addresses and talks Members from all parts of the state were present, among whom we found, Messrs Harding and Aldrich of Junction City, Roseman and DePriest of Salina; Foster of Carbondale, Thompson, of Oskaloosa, Atty and Mrs Dorsey Green, of Kansas City, Atty R F. Bradley, and Prof J P. King, of Kansas City, who appeared on the program Representatives from other sections of the state were present whose names we did not get The following officers were elected for the ensuing year, President, Atty Elisha Scott, Topeka, Vice President and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Prof J P. King, Kansas City, Kansas Secretary Mr. Thos. Kennedy, Kansas City Treasurer Hon T W Troupe, Topeka The Supreme Lodge and Encampment of Knights of Pythias, will be held in the city of Topeka, in August 1921.

Carver, Colored professor of Tuskegee Institute. He demonstrated them to the Ways and Means Committee of Congress and delivered a discourse on them that was greeted with applause from the members and spectators—the first demonstration of the sort the tariff hearings have ever known. Chairman Fordney told him he had made a valuable contribution to science, and Representative Garner, a democrat of Texas, a member for eighteen years, declared Carver had made the most wonderful exhibition he had ever known to be presented the committee. Professor Carver is 52 years old and the son of exslaves He was born in Diamond, Mo. and his education began at the age of 15 years His high school training was received at Minneapolis. He is a graduate of Iowa Agricultural College, With the degree of A. B. and A. M. and was a student for years of former Secretary of Agriculture Wilson He has declined degrees of Doctor of Laws and Ph D. He is now head of the research and experiment station of Tuskegee His discoveries include ten kinds of milk, five kinds of punches (cherry, lemon, orange, blackberry and plum), salted peanuts, two grades of flour, two grades of meal, five breakfast foods, new flavorings for ice cream, cakes gingerbread cookies and various confections, chocolate-coated peanuts, peanut bars, crystallized peanuts, three relishes, nine wood stains, ranging from malachite green to fumed golden oak black ink, face powder and face cream Worcester sauce, four different kind of stock foods (including a hay composition made from the vine, ground hay with peanut cake and a sweet food with chinaberry added as a tonic) and various kinds of oats Carver showed the committee a landscape scene he had drawn with peanut ink. While he did not go into other investigations he has made, he stated that thus far he had discovered seventeen products that can be made with sweet potatoes. He said the flavoring extract obtainable from the peanut extract could be used as a base for any number of flavors, and he mentioned strawberry, lemon and vanilla, in addition to those he showed the committee.

PIERCE ADDITION Mrs Pilla Cowan has returned home from a two months visit with relatives in Tennessee. Mrs Albert Larkin and son, Albert, left Thursday night for a short visit in Oklahoma with her sister. The Pierce Addition Literary had a very interesting meeting Wednesday night at the school house. The debate was "Resolved that the World War was a Benefit to the Negro." It was open to the house which was a favor of the affirmative. Governor Allen and Kansas Law Makere Praise Work of Institution. Never in the history of the state of Kansas has the entire legislature adjourned to visit any Institution on any occasion. Five hundred people composed of the entire membership of the House of Representatives and Senate, with their secretaries, wives and daughters, led by Governor and Mrs Henry J Allen, came to the Kansas Educational and Industrial Institute for the purpose of celebrating the birthday of the Great Emperor, Lincoln. The law makers were met at the State House by members of the Chamber of Commerce and business men of the city who 1930 M. Principal G. R.

Governor Allen concluded the spee PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR law makers to do everything in their power to help the Colored man in the fullest extent to the highest citizenship and usefulness in our country. Major Herbert J Corwline of Topeka, introduced Principal G. R Bridgeforth. He spoke in a few M. Mr. A R RODGERS, President of the Sunflower Agricultural Association words concerning the founding of the institution in the spirit of Tleenby the white and Colored people working together for the needed improvements. He referred to Booker T Washington in his address, as one of the men who had fostered the institution The Institution this year has the largest enrollment in its history, and the most competent faculty. Mr. Bridgeforth took charge of the school only three years ago, coming from Tuskegee Institute where he served sixteen years as the head of the Agricultural school. He richly deserves all the assistance the legislature can give WHITE PHONOGRAPH RECORD COMPANIES OBJECT TO COLOR-ED MEN MAKING PHONOGRAPH RECORDS—THEY SUCCEED IN MAKING PACE AND HANDY MUSIC COMPANY CHANGE FIRM NAME—HARRY PACE MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER. New York City Feb 11. Following the announcement a few weeks ago that the Pace Phonograph Corporation of New York had been organized to reproduce Negro Music, using exclusively Negro voices, notice was served on the Pace and Handy Music Co. of which Mr. Harry H. Pace was president, by two large white phonograph record companies that it need not expect any more of its published music to be reproduced by them. It later developed that practically every one of the record companies had read the announcement which had been taken or sent to them by certain Colored men desirous of starting such trouble, and had reached an understanding that no more songs published by the music publishing firm of Pace and Handy Music Company would be brought out on their records. After a consultation with attorneys and friends of the publishing house. Mr Pace decided to retire from all connection with Pace and Handy Music Company publishers, and the charter of the company amended so as to change the name to Handy Brus Music Company. The firm will now consist of Meersa, W. C. Handy and C. H. Handy who will conduct the business as formerly with Mr Pace giving his entire time to the Pace Phonograph Corporation with offices at 257 West 139th st. New York City In respect to this matter Mr. Pace states "The opposition of the white companies to the entry of a race organization into the phonograph record-producing field makes me all the more determined to give the race representation in an entirely new of business endeavor, and convince me of the necessity of preserving our race music and preserving for our children the wonderful voices and musical talent we have in the race. The public wants the kind of records I shall put out and they will get them no matter who objects." Brg — = aa aati ails ie kik aS RSM TT PN.

Also it has been quite a while since we sent in any money. Find herewith enclosed For 14 or 15 months we have given half of our time as pastor at Harrisonville, Mo. There we are doing fairly well, but like the most churches, there is much room for improvement. We have pastored here at Alma, Kansas, since 1921, save one year. My two preaching stations are 150 miles apart. With the compensations such as small churches are able to give, no one but a hero like myself would stay on the job. We have some very good members in these small churches who want nothing but the pure word of God. They have not been spolled with bad phil osophy. If there was ever a time when the true gospel was needed, this now. Not enough to tell it, but it is essential that the preacher live it. Ministers remember that the basin stood on the backs of 12 brazen oxen in Solomon's temple, with their faces looking towards the north east, south and west, three each direction, but their hinder or common parts were hidden by the brazen basin. The preachers of today are valued or prized according to the church he is in charge of, regardless of what he may know, or don't know, good or bad character. He tries to give his people just what they want, but not what they need. We ought to learn how to preach with gospel power and turn the world to Christ. Let us go back to the Old Land Mark, of our forefathers when the local churches everywhere were spiritually awake. A strict discipline then made good churches and it will today, but we ministers are moral cowards. Does this mean you? Rev Wm E. Harrison, D D, Alma, Kansas NB—We just closed a successful meeting at Harrisonville, Mo. For two weeks we prayed and preached before the spiritual clinkers could be separated from the Christians. We all know just what clinkers are to a heater. After these were removed, God honored Ills word and gave us ten converts. To say the least, the Holy Spirit took the meeting in charge. Some shouted and confessed Christ while I was delivering the message. I was ably assisted by Rev. Bowen, the Methodist pastor and his members. They tell me tales was the greatest meeting held there in the last 20 years. We know no nomination lines, but we were one. In Christ These ten converts all joined the church of their choice in the Baptist church. Both church coors were open. Rev Wm H Harrison, D D YALE. KANSAS.
