Mr. Yergen, who was a "Y" secretary and chaplain during the recent World War, serving in East Africa, India and France, spoke of the bravery and devotion to duty of the colored African and American troops with whom he served. In his address, Bishop Vernon declared that the martydom of those who lost their lives in service to humanity find them again in the higher living and better environs of those who come after them.

EGYPTIANS IN SUDAN JOIN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. Egyptians in the Sudan have become members of the National Association for the Advancement-of Colored People, according to announcement today at the national office. News of the fight over the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill in the United States has spread to Egypt and the letter from the Sudan enclosing membership contains a word of congratula- He referred to the great and unsurpassed record of the American Negro soldier, and said that "the black man from Senegal under the tri-color of liberty living France; from America, Tand of the free, under the Stars and Stripes, with these heroes who died under the Union Jack, flag of the greatest Empire on earth, all helped mightily to save civilization to the world." Referring to local conditions in South Africa, Bishop Vernon said: "A spirit of sympathy, justice and larger opportunity for the less fortunate, regardless of color, is in the breast of many Europeans in South Africa today. It will not, it cannot RNON, RESIDENT BISHOP OF CH IN SOUTH AFRICA. dle. If the colored and native races of South Africa are to rie they will do so mainly because of cooperation with and through the friendship and assistance of their European friends. "The solution of your problems depends largely on the attitude assumed by the friends you win and hold on South African soil. External efforts in your behalf must be limited in a great measure to an honest desire to see you rise, and all reinforcements you receive from abroad must come by the consent of, with the knowledge and sympathy of, those in control of the Union of South Africa. You will always have the sympathetic interest of all those related to you by ties of blood. Distance from you does not lessen the bond of love." The letter from Egypt says in part: "You know it is quite easy to rob a man if he is blind; whether physically or intellectually. It is an outstanding fact that the rulers of Africa, without exception, deny my race this privilege of self seeing, because they feel that some day these people whom God has created free will arise and demand the exit of their oppressors. So they say "if not in word in deed" keep the Nigger blind; and we'll see to it that no one opens his eyes: not even the Carpenter of Nazareth if He was on earth. "That's the noxious atmosphere we are inhaling daily, you can judge the present state of our health. We look to you as never before; praying that you will remember us as you struggle on for the welfare of the race. Convey please our warm congratulations to the wary and indefatigable Secretary "J.W.J." (James Weldon Johnson) for his recent achievement (Dyer Anti Lynching Bill)."

February 28, 1922 Prof. G. Ri Bridgeforth, Principal, Kansas Industrial and Edu. Inst. Dear Sir: It is with much pleasure that I write you to let, you know that I am well, and hope you are the same and still getting along fine with your school work. I am glad to say the Lord is blessing me in my new field of labor and I know that some one in the home land is praying for me. I have gone through many changes since I wrote you last and I cannot tell about these in a letter, only I can say this much. I have left the first station where I began my labors, and I am now back in the Hinterland, where I am surrounded by the heathens of many tribes, and really I enjoy my work more about here, than I would while so near the sea-coast, for the natives found back in the interior are of a superior type, with all of its attending evils, hence, they are easily reached. The Africans are awakening from their centuries of heathenism and are begging us to take their children so they can be trained. 'God palaver' and 'book pa laver' as they call it. I now have 18 children to be baptized and they are from five different tribes, and I am going to have a ten days meeting just before I baptise. I am writing to tell you that four boys are going to work their way over to America, and I have asked four churches in our Kaw Valley District to send their railroad fare to New York, so they can come on to Kansas and enter our school at Topeka. They are deserving children and are very anxious to finish school and their education in America. I want to send them on the first steamer which is coming to the States. Two of them have been in the Liberian college here and one is in the fourth grade and one in the fifth. I will write you another letter just as soon as they get a job and leave Monrovia. Our Commission has been here and inspected the work of our Convention and they like my work so well that they are going to let me come home the first of next year on a furlough, so you will see me within the next few months. Give my love to all my friends, and let me hear from you real soon. You must not wait a year- to answer, for if you do, I will be home. Thanking you for past favors. I remain. PS.—When I come home I am going to bring about four or five boys and girls and all will enter our school in Kansas. I am in love with this institution. DEATH OF J. BLAINE BOYD Denver, Colo., April 7. (Special) James Garfield Blaine Boyd, the second son of Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., died here at 11:30 last night after a protracted illness which refused to yield to the best medical skill and treatment, Blaine Boyd, as he is best known among the printers of the United States, came to Denver just the week following Christmas in search of his health. He was suffering from tuberculosis of the throat. It was thought by the physicians both in Tennessee and in Denver that the climate and treatment combined would restore his health. Arrangements had just been made for an operation and his wife had been summoned from Nashville and arrived Wednesday morning. A sudden attack hastened the end. The Rev. Dr David E Over and other friends had rendered yoeman service and great assistance. Arrangements are being made by wire to remove his remains to Tennessee. His aged father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. R H Boyd, it is learned here, are wintering in Florida, but telegrams from his older brother, Henry A. Boyd gave definite instructions to prepare the body and ship at once. At the time of his death, he was General foreman of the National Baptist Publishing Board's plant, a position he had won thru merit and promotion. He had been employed at the plant for twenty five years, starting in as a devil boy. He was a member of the Mt Olive Baptist church of Nashville, a pythian and a member APRIL 14, 1922 COLORED BOY TO NAVAL ACADEMY REPRESENTATIVE ANSORAGE OF NEW YORK MAKES APPOINTMENT IN RECOGNITION OF THE VALOR AND PATRIOTISM OF HEROES OF WORLD WAR. .. Washington, D. C., April 1—belief that the "valor and Americanism of the Colored boys in the late war should be recognized," was expressed today by Representative Ansorgae, republican, of New York, to have prompted him to appoint Emile Treville Holley, colored, of New York City, as a candidate to the United States Naval Academy. Secretary Denby of the Naval department declined to discuss the appointment of Holley, who is understood would be the first colored student at the Naval Academy since the days of reconstruction, if he succeeds at the examinations. Discussing the appointment, Ansorage said: "In the World War, colored boys enlisted or were drafted, irrespective of race. There were 500,000 colored boys in the Army and Navy. As a matter of simple justice and recognition of the valor and the Americanism of the Colored boys, I have nominated one to the academy.

Borah, chairman of the sub-committee in charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, has let it be known that it is his opinion that the bill will be brought up before the present Congress, for final passage, prior to the recess adjournment. From all over the country, the Senator is receiving requests from individuals and organizations, that the committee conduct hearings as early as possible, and urging that the bill be placed on the calendar. Senator Borah has replied to all inquiries that at the first opportunity, he will arrange for hearings. It is known that the Senator realizes the great national interest in this legislation, and that he will lead the fight for the passage of the bill, seems to be a foregone conclusion. GREAT BEND BANKER CALLS ON PLAINDEALER Mr. Leo Chapman, of Great Bend, Kansas, was a caller at this office one day last week. The history of that section of the country is incomplete without the name of Chapman, being closely aligned therewith. Mr. Chapman's father before him was an editor out there in the short grass country. He 'oo followed in the footsteps of his father and help to mould the Kansas sentiment throut that vicinity. Some years ago, however, he laid down his editorial pen and went into the banking business, in which he is now engaged. He is a high class gentleman and a man well schooled in the trend of modern business. We appreciated his visit and while the editor was out, we take this occasion to mention his visit and welcome him again. of the Masons He was married some years ago to Miss Mamie Clemmons, of Nashville. He leaves a wife two sons and two daughters. Interment will be at Greenwood Cemetery at Nashville, Tenn. DR. N. L. SMITH, A FINANCIER Special to the Topeka Plainender St Louis, Mo., April 14—Last Sunday was a big day with Lane Tabernacle church of this city, of which Dr. N. L. Smith is the pastor. This is one of the largest churches of the city and carries a large congregation. For the last few years it has prospered greatly under the leadership of Dr. Smith, who is one of the outstanding men of the C. M. E. church, and who is very prominently mentioned for the office of Bishop at the coming General conference. In his rally last year more than $5000 was raised. He eclipsed that record last Sunday by raising more than $6000, which puts him in the lead financially of any pastor in the connection this year. People of St. Louis are jubilant over the success of the campaign just closed and all things are being put in readiness for the entertainment of the coming General Conference. Bishop N. C. Cloave was the preacher for the occasion and stirred the people with a very interesting message. MRS. MARY A. BROWN, QIES AT LAWRENCE, KANSAS Mrs. Mary A. Brown, mother of Mr. W. C. Brown, one of the prominent business men of this city, departed this life, Wednesday morning, March 5, at 6:30 a.m. Her granddaughter, Mary Fields was with her when she quietly passed. She was born in Macon, Ga., 58 years ago and came to Lawrence in 1905 to nurse her son, who at that time was severely burned. She joined the Ninth Street Baptist church of which she was a faithful member. She was a patient sufferer, never complaining, but accepting her lilies with Christian complacency and fortitude. She was a member of the Eastern Star, the Daughters of Isls and the Court of Calanthe. She leaves a son, two brothers and a granddaughter, a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The funeral was held Friday in the Ninth Street Baptist church, with a large attendance. The body lay in a beautiful casket of embossed grey velvet covering, which was banked profusely with beautifully floral offerings. The Chapter observed its rituals. The sermon was delivered by Dr. G. N. Jackson. Mrs. Eva McCalep sang, "He's the One." The interment was in the family lot at Oak Hill Cemetery. CARROLTON, MISSOURI Sunday in this section was one of the most beautiful days of the spring season. All nature seemed to invite you out in the great out-of-floors. This was a treat after a week of rain. Rev. Jackson, pastor of the Lincoln Avenue St James A. M. E. church, delivered a wonderful sermon to a full house and the meeting was inspiring to all After the services Prof. Adams, principal of the Lincoln school made a few interesting remarks. All are bending their efforts toward the big Easter program for Easter day. Dr. Daniel B Ingram and wife are in the city from Chicago, Ill. to open up the park which he recently purchased. He states that the park will be open to the public in a few days. It is an ideal spot just one mile from town and a fine place for summer outings and picnics. The veterans of the late World War have organized an American Legion Post here and received their charter last week. Ex-soldier boys from Norborne, Hardin, Richmond, Dewitt, Bruntwick, Dalton, Brookfield and Chillicothe are all coming here to join this post. G. W. Triggers, is the manager. Mr. Win. Colwell is numbered among those stick, but is reported improved at this writing. Mrs. Laura Byron has been ill, but is reported better at this time. A number of our farmers in the river bottoms were compelled to move out on account of the high water. Some of them suffered a loss to chickens, hogs, hay and corn. The crops are yet in danger by the high water. MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA By J. E. Mason Several leading men of this community have organized the Legion League of Liberty. They propose to encourage a delegation of men to go into Mexico and make arrangements which will facilitate an emigration. The U. B. F. organization should and must be investigated. Every day or two you meet some one that has not received their beneficiary. Now, come Mr. Grimes of Muskogee, Mr. Stevens of Rex, Okla, and several members from the colored town of Wybark. This organization should not be allowed to exist if they are unable to pay off. Come on Peter with the coln. The ballot is the greatest weapon given to man for his protection, any people who are not in possession of this great boon of freedom, has no chance in the race of life. "Letting your buckets down where you are, was conceived in the South and had for its intent, the enslavement of the Negro without his protest. In other words, it means to be satisfied with anything the whites of the South impose upon you. They are driving Negroes out of Mississippi for no other reason than they are prosperous. It matters not how much property, education and obedience to the law, the Negro may have, you have committed a crime when you begin to get too much of the goods of this world. Each day the theory of letting your buckets down where you are, is proving a bleeding farce. None but a fool and a coward would attempt to make the Negro believe he has any chance in the South. The rich Negro in the South suffers worse than the less fortunate. Just an old lie, created to deceive Negroes and make them satisfied with the condition of that section. A few fools are still yelling the Booker T. "stuff". The day will come when children who have not yet left the loins of their fathers, will rise up and denounce whole program as a colloossal conspiracy and the adherents as a generation of "jack asses". You can not collect from the U. B F. thru the courts. The lawyer who wrote the Constitution for this order, had in mind the things of today. You had just as well try to hive the stars or pick your teeth with the rays of the Sun, as to try to collect from this bunch. This is a Republican years, provided they have the "white-matter" to put it over according to the rules. Old Mrs. Stinkfinger, threw a fit because I charged the bunch who was celebrating Booker T. Day, an army of undeveloped, misguffed, zealous asses. From the Southern Enterprise Mrs Hattie E. Williams has returned home after having spent several months touring the northern and western states. She spent most of her time in the city of Pasadena, California, with friends and old acquaintances, where she was the popular guest at several social functions of literary fame and refinement. Mrs. Williams was greatly missed as she is one of the formest women of the state and is widely known throughout the country as a lady of high attainments. She owes valuable propriety and is fully in position to enjoy life. Her many friends, both white and colored, delight in her return to the proud state of South Carolina. She looks well and speaks in high terms of her trip and the many friends she met while away. Mr. Raymond Welton, of Kansas City, Kansas, Balliff of the Federal court, is in the city this week attending court. He is a fine young man and is making good in this very responsible position. While here he stopped with his mother, Mrs Irving, on West Street. REASONS WHY WE SHOULD CO-OPERATE IN BUSINESS It is a duty we own ourselves as a race.

(SDEAL) My Commission expires, August 8, 1925 DOCSMENT OF WONDERFUL IMPORTANCE, IF GENUINE, IS HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN CITY OF ROME. Somewhere retreated in Rome is a document that if genuine, is to Christian people the most interesting and impressive legal document in the world. It is the death warrant, served onius Pilate, acting governor of Lower Jesus Christ, and rendered by Pontius Pilate, acting governor of Lower Gallilee, stating that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death on the cross. In 1810 workmen, while excavating in the ancient city of Amiternum (how Opuila) in the kingdom of Napies, found an antique vase in which lay concealed a copper plate, bearing on one side long inscription in the Hebrew tongue—this, when translated, was said to be the death warrant of Jesus. On the reverse side were these words, "A similar plate be sent to each tribe." Faithfully transcribed it read as follows: "In the year seventeen of the Emperor Tiberius Caesar, and the twenty-seventh day, of March in the city of the Holy Jerusalem—Annas and Calphas, being priests sacrificators of the people of God, Pontius Pilate, governor of Lower Galilee, sitting in the presidential chair of the praetory, condemns Jesus of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves, the great and notorious evidence of the people saying: "Jesus is a reducer. "He is seditious. "He is the enemy of the law. "He calls himself falsely the Son of God. "He calls himself falsely the king of Israel." "He entered into the temples lowed by a multitude bearing palm branches in their hands. "Ordered the first centurion Quillius Cornelius to lead Him to the place of execution. Forbid any person whomever either rich or poor, to oppose the death of Jesus Christ." The witnesses who signed the condemnation were Daniel Robanha, a pharaoh, Raphael Robanha, Johnus Robanha, Capet, a citizen. It is also stated that Jesus should go out of the city of Jerusalem by the gate of Struenus—Los Angeles Times.

Garvey, organizer of the Black Line Steamship line and 'high highness, the potentae of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Provisional president general of Africa" was ordered by the Supreme Court here today to pay the Pan-Union corporation $800030 for the non delivery of a cargo of liquor to Cuba. In 1926, Garvey signed a contract with the Pan-Union corporation to carry, to Cuba, a $3,000,000 liquor shipment on the steamer Yarmouth, flag ship of the Black Star Line. The Yarmouth started with the consignment of liquor, but it was stopped and seized by Federal agents. The agents, discovered the liquor because the crew tapped the cargo and became hilarious. Garvey's ambitions promotion of big enterprises among the colored people recently got him into trouble with the Federal, authorities on a charge of using the mails to defraud.

Easter Sunday is to be the crowning day in all respects and all classes are on the quit side hoping to be a great factor in its success. The Sunday morning service is indeed a feast of reason and a flow of soul. Pastor Williams is there at his best spiritually and indeed hearts are made to rejoice. Distinguished guests on Sunday morning were Mr Lambright, President of the Lambright Coal Company, and Mr Hindspeth of Kansas City, Kansas Mrs Edna M. Henderson of Topeka, and Mrs. Inez Wharton, of Nicademus, Kansas. The weekly Sunday School teacher's meeting is held Saturday afternoon at a o'clock at which all regular supply teachers are supposed to be present. The lessons are taught by Pastor Williams and are inspiring and many good thoughts are prayerfully and ably brought before the scholars. The Rev. Williams is indeed filing a long felt want in this city. The church is stirred and working as never before in all its forty old years of existence. With such a leader, a praying and working congregation, and faith in God, our success is assured us. O E. Jackson, reporter.

Both rivers are rising and at this report are out of their banks. The lowlands are flooded. The sun shone all day today and every one is rejoicing; it has never seemed half so fair as it does now. All the churches of the city are preparing special programs for Easter. We are expecting a good attendance on that day, as it is a good time to wear our new Spring frocks and hats. If we could only think of Easter in a different light and in these right way, and let the resurrection be in our hearts, put off the old man, put on the new, make our hearts a fit place for the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, instead of the outward adornment of apparel of our bodies. Then it would be a true Easter and God would be risen indeed Rev C M Watson delivered a sermon to a well filled house both morning and evening on last Sunday. His subject at the 11 o'clock service, was, "Who is on the Lord's side?" He preached a very strong spiritual sermon to an attentive congregation, and showed very conclusively every one who says, 'Lord, Lord' is not on the Lord's side; or we could take the world for Christ. His argument was clear, concise and convincing. We closed services Sunday night to begin a week of prayer on Monday night. You who know the value of prayer you who know how to pray, you who do pray, pray lervently that we may be successful in our meeting against sin and Satan, and that precious souls will come flocking home to God. The A. M. E. church just closed a ten days meeting. Rev. Greene of Kansas City conducted services here which were good. Mrs. Eliza Tipton is very sick at this time with muscular Rheumatism.

The ladies and members all rallied right by her side and they raised a neat sum of money and were able to purchase a new communion set for the church. Mrs. Ray is an A No. J, good cook. The tables were tastefully decorated with cut flowers and spotless linen, and it looked more like a wedding supper than an ordinary social.

Mrs. Ella Fine went to Paola to attend the Eastern Star and to visit with R. M. Shelby and family. Now we are wondering what is the matter with the Paola Colorel people, they say there are Colored school teachers there, and some very nice people, but you never see any of them attending or hear of them going forward in helping the race. We wonder if they are not using there talent or just want to receive money and not care whether any one else is living but themselves. There are enough people in Paola to make our other towns take notice, but it sure looks dead to an outsider. Mrs. R. M. Shelby was at church Sunday. Wonder did she knock? Mr. J. E. Clinton returned to school last Monday. IN THE PROBATE COURT OF SHAWNEE COUNTY, KANSAS In the Matter of the Estate of Elen Aikens, Deceased.
