The LEE Safety Hair Straightener, Kansas City, Missouri The Topeka Plaindeale SUPREME LODGE ENDS IN BLAZE OF GLORY Visitors Well Pleased With Kansans and-Their Hospitality The Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pyahias and Court of Calanthe, closed their session on last Friday and on Saturday morning broke camp and started for home. All total, there were approximately 7000 people in the city in connection with this affair. During this time there was not a single incident to mar the demeanor or morale of the many visitors who were present. The Lord certainly smiled on Topeka and its citizens and their guests. The white people are just as enthusiastic in their praises as the colored people, in fact we think more so, because it was a new revelation to them, they did not conceive such a thing coming from the race. Their eyes have been opened and they are yet wondering how it happened and where. Oh where, did such crowds of intelligent and orderly colored people come from. That is their question. They never dreamed of such an enormous and spectacular array of splendor and fiery as was exhibited in the monster street parade, the crowning feature of the session on Friday morning. We can only say the half has not been told. They also went out of their way to make it pleasant for them, and those who read the Plaindealer editorial welcoming the visitors to this city will truthfully say that we spoke frd mthe depths of our heart and told the truth. Everything was carried out in apple pie order. Everybody enjoyed themselves and every one went their way rejoicing and singing the parade was acknowledged to have been the finest and most gorgeous that ever marched down Kansas avenue or in the state of Kansas. The Supreme lodges of the Pythians and the Court of Calanthe transacted volumes of business of great momentum and importance, which will be printed in the minutes of that body. The next Supreme session will be held in New York City in 1923. Strong resolutions were passed condemning lynching and other outrages as well as the operations of the Ku Klux Klan. Col Roscoe C. Stimmons, the Supreme Lecturer, was one of the prominent figures of the meeting and was chairman of the committee on resolutions. The dance at Gerfield Park, with music by the mirror regimental band. a splendid affair and was attended by several thousands people. It was an imposing sight to behold the large number of beautifully gowned women and uniformed men tripping the light fantastic toe over the floor of one of the finest pavilions in this section of the country. The fine drill teams representing various sections of the country gave an excellent exhibition of the latest maneuvers in both sword and line drilling. The contests were both spirited and exciting On Friday night, the sport lovers were royally entertained by a rare athletic event afforded by boys from the Industrial school and two youngsters from out of town and a battle royal by the Industrial school boys as the preliminaries to the main feautre between "Toneka" Jack Johnson and Sam Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, who thrilled the audience with six rounds of fast, aggressive sparring Over two thousand spectators watched the huge bulky form of Langford as he demonstrated his skill and abilitly as a ring general. They were brought to their feet amid wild cheering in the sixth round when Langford forced Jack to the ropes and was driven back by the numerous, short punches of Johnson, who showed at this time his ability to take care of himself in a tight pinch. Jack as the favorite of the city received a great ovation as the bell called them to their corners. He proved himself clever and showed good form. Of course, Langford, with his many years of ring experience and constant training should naturally be the better man, however, he never at arytime during the match, take any undo advantage of Jack, altho, owing to Jack's height, he could hav torn him up with his short blows. It was conducted in such a manner as to please the crowd and was well managed. Much credit is due the Kansas Grand lodge, or the Grand officers and the local committee who handled the affair and made it a bowling success As to the matter of housing the visitors, there were accommodations for a thousand more. There were hundreds of homes prepared to entertain the guests, who never received a single visitor. Several people about the city went to considerable expense to prepare for guests. So Kansas and Topeka can feel justly proud of the manner in which the affair was handled. Every one may feel satisfied and proud of the excellent showing made by our citizens Messrs. U. A. Graham and E. F. Hickerson deserve much credit for their efforts in pulling off this sparring match between Langford and Johnson. These two young men's names will go down in history as having put across something in this city, which no one else could have done. Every one is now wondering how the thing was done. While they did not realize as much as they anticipated for their lodge owing to the magnitude of the proposition, they have the confidence and esteem of the general public in putting over a legitimate affair and giving the people their money's worth, and whenever these men take up a matter and call upon the public for support, you can rest assured that it will be as advertised and worth while. The following article appeared in the Topeka State Journal, the evening paper of this city: "Without an exception, the most gorgeous military order parade ever held on Kansas avenue in Topeka, was the exhibition of the 9000 delegates to the world conference of the Knights of Pythias this morning. Marching with music furnished by exceptionally well balanced bands and in uniforms and in military marching order, the colored delegates from 22 states and many foreign countries presented a real spectacle. The perfect order with which the large divisions of men and women marched bore unimpeachable witness to the excellent training which they had received. There was not a break anywhere in the long line of marching columns. Line after line of handsomely uniformed men slept past like a vast ocean of multicolored waves. The parade was made up of ten divisions, each division TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1921 M. H. Who was unanimously reelected as the Supreme head of the Pythian body. He is clean, capable man. having 800 men, dressed in full dress the south side of the Memorial hall, uniforms and carrying swords and battle axes. At the head of the parade was a platoon of policemen followed by the chief marshall. Maj. R. R. Jackson and his staff, mounted on horses, followed the marshall. Motion pictures were taken of the big Knights of Pythiaan parade this morning by a field representative of the Pathe Film company, under the direction of Geo. W. K. Love, owner of the Love Theatre of Kansas City, Mo., the finest colored house owned by Negroes in this section. The picture will be shown in this city in the near future. Following the general and his aldea came the 365th Regiment band and the flag corps carrying beautiful silk American flags. The flag corps was escorted by Palestine company B. of Ohio. The first division was led by Gen. P. B. Cranshaw and was composed of companies from Illinois, New York, Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The second division, with Gen W. H. Butler in command, was made up of Missouri and the second regiment band of Missouri and the first regiment band of Missouri and companies from Missouri and Texas. The third division was commanded by Gen W. J. I. Reed and was headed by the Topeka K. of P. band, companies from Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, S.

The Tennessee, Massachusetts and Delaware regiments marched in this division. The fifth division was commanded by Gen. Thos. Kennedy and was composed entirely of Kansas uniformed teams. The 23rd Kansas band led the fifth division. The sixth division commanded by Gen. Wm. Tibbs, and was headed by the Women's drill corps of the Court of Calanthe. Following the drill teams were companies from Illinois, Ohio, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New York, and a company of Kansas cadets. The seventh division commanded by Colonel A. J. Lewis was composed of the subordinate lodges of Topeka and Kansas The eight, ninth and tenth division were commanded by Col. Thomas Curd, Col. Edw. Dutler and Gen. W. H. T. Ransom, respectively and were made up of Autos containing the Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and the Supreme officers AT REVIEWING STAND The parade was delayed by the late arrival of several members of the party who were invited to review it from the official reviewing stand on the south side of the Memorial hall. A. 11:05, the distinguished guests arrived and took their places on the reviewing stand. The reviewing party consisted of Mrs. Henry J. Allen, wife of the Governor, Mayor Herbert J. Corwine, Col. Chas, L. Mitchell, Col. A. M. Fuller, Emmett George, secretary to the Governor and Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and officers of the Supreme lodge and the Supreme court of Calanthe. The members of the visiting delegations to the Pythian convention are to be complimented on the wonderful showing they made in today's spectacle and for the order and quietness with which all of their celebrations in this city have been conducted. There was a short session of the supreme lodge and the supreme court of Calanthe this morning during which Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, and Supreme Worthy Counsellor Ernest G. Tidrington, offered some practical suggestions to the members of their race as well as to the immediate members of the order. "The man who sits down and waits for some one to carry him will never get far," declared Supreme Chancellor Green, and "the same thing applies to races. Too many of my people sit around and complain and wait when this will never help any people. I note that opportunities all over this country are like the air you breathe waiting for some one with industry, honesty, reliability and thrift to take them up. We are having many young people come out of schools and I want them to go to work. If they cannot find a school to teach or a clerical position, then let them go into the soil, which was never known to draw the color line, or anything else that is honorable Educate the Young "Educate the young and then let them put that education to practical use. An education which makes a man lazy or ashamed to work is a hindrance and not an uplift to him" John. A. Blume of North Carolina said that there were many new men coming on the scene today, and it meant better days for all concerned. He spoke in terms of praise of Governor Bickett of that state, the man who put forth a strong effort to put down lynching, and then did so much for education. "We have a better educational system for our people today, and North Carolina is putting more money into education than at anytime in the history of the state" "America is fast learning that it is cheaper to build school houses and employ competent teachers," said Dr. U. G. Mason, of Birmingham, Ala. "than it is to build jail houses and employ officers" Praise for Kansas "And while speaking I want to pay my respects to Kansas, the grand old state, the state that puts education within the reach of all of its citizens. "I had the pleasure of visiting the Industrial and Educational institute just two miles from this city, an institution for the training of our boys and girls, one that is filling a needed space." At the head I found Prof. G. It. Bridgeforth, who by the way comes from my state, and we all loved him down there. It is not a college, but there can be obtained a thoro academic training, and then comes the practical side. They have all the industries for boys and girls, and practical agriculture is taught. They are not only producing farmers, carpenters, brick masons, shoemakers, harness makers, dressmakers, cooks, practical laundry workers, and other things along that line but they are giving to the country auto mechanics "Every school in the state is open to the Negro. He can go to the two Negro schools. Quindaro and Topeka, then the University of Kansas, Agricultural college, Manhattan, and all the other state schools are open and the high schools are open to the white and black boy, giving them equal opportunity. I consider this a great state. I was glad to see our ex service men, the men who were willing to give their lives for the flag of their country, are given an opportunity to take up now what they did not get in their younger days, a trade. Kansas has my highest commendation. Some day I may be a citizen of this state." SIDE LIGHTS OF THE ENCAMPMENT FROM THE EDITOR'S PEN. Prof. S. J. Green, Instructor of History and Civics in the high school of New Orleans, La., and brother to Sir S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was an agreeable caller at this plant while attending the Supreme lodge. The many friends of Major S. B Brooks, of the Uniform Rank, of the Knights of Pythias, of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and also the only colored cigar manufacturer in the state of Oklahoma and the West was enroute to the Supreme Encampment, but had an accident with his automobile. Bad roads, mud, rain and such things caused him to return home he wishes all the boys to know that he is well and regrets that he could not be with them. At the same time he has not been in good health for the past two months. The colored as well as the white citizens of Topeka are proud of General Manager Fox, of the Santa Fe System. He is a gentleman and a thorough and efficient business man and an executive of rare ability. He also believes in giving each and every man just what is due him. As regards the employees of the system, he will not show or allow any favoritism to be shown one individual to the injury of another. He further insists upon the loyalty of the employees to the company. As soon as Mr. Fox learned of the coming to this city of the Supreme Encampment of the Knights of Pythias, he immediately ordered the entire group of Santa Fe buildings in this city decorated with flags, and in every window in the two buildings was hung a flag. It was one of the most imposing sights to view the handsomely decorated buildings of the great Santa Fe System. We feel proud of Mr. Fox and thank him for this recognition. This class of white men is what keeps the colored people in fine spirits and causes this and similar organizations to succeed and prosper. This kind of encouragement is heartily appreciated by the race as a whole. Mrs. Carrie Kerford, of Atchison, Kansas, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Washam, of Filmore street last week. She attended the Encampment. She is a popular teacher of her city. We are thankful to Mr. Slaughter, who is employed at the Santa Fe on a private car, for using his influence in placing before the officials of that road the matter of the Supreme Encampment, and after that seeing to it that the buildings were decorated with flags. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR The Kentucky delegation was quartered at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. T. P. Martin, on Buchanan street. Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, E. E. Underwood and Mr. Vulcan Irvin, of Richmond, were among those housed here. Mr. Irvin was the Beau Brummel of the Supreme lodge. He is a tailor by trade and he certainly knows how to fit clothes. He made lots of friends and will always be welcome in Kansas. In fact, the entire Kentucky delegation was a fine group of gentlemen. Hon. A. B. Barco, Grand Chancellor of the State of Massachusetts, who resides at Boston, was in attendance at the Supreme session. He is a wide-awake, active business man and made many friends in this city.
