St. Joseph Gazette Praises Work of Grand Chancellor During Past Fifteen Years The following article appeared in the St. Joe, Mo., Gazette (white) June 23. A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis, Grand Chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Missouri, has been paying an official visit during the last two days to St. Joseph Lodge No. 47. The Lodge has fifty-five members and Dr. W. S. Carrion is the Chancellor Commander, and he is also a delegate to the Grand Lodge, which will meet in Macon, Mo., July 25, 1916. There are ninety-six lodges in Missouri and a total membership of 5,600, the Order being one of the most prosperous and progressive among the members of the race. Lloyd has been Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias for the last fifteen years, and he is being urged for another term. His past record has been such that his friends believe he should be retained. He has had a great deal to do with bringing the order up to its present high standing. The Grand Chancellor is noted as a leader of his race throughout the country. He is prosperous and has a high standing in St. Louis, where he has lived for years. Friends of Lloyd point to the record of the Grand Chancellor as one which is seldom equalled in benevolent orders. He has had a great deal to do with the building up of the order, which has an insurance on the present membership of $1,200,000. A number of well known business men of St. Louis, have written letters telling of the good work of Lloyd in building up the order in Missouri. One of the prosa of the success of the Grand Chancellor is the fine Pythian Temple in New York, which was chased in 1905 and was rebuilt in 1910. It is the first and only fraternal building of the kind owned and controlled by Negroes west of New York. Lloyd has a striking personality. He is an orator of ability and has a great deal of influence with the members of his race. His heart and soul are in his work, say those who are close to him, and he is being given hearty support in his ambition to again become head of the Order. The election will take place at the meeting of the Grand Lodge in Macon, Missouri—St. Joseph Gazette, St. Joseph. Mo. fore. July 24 there will be produced one of the strongest plays ever written by Col. Watkins, "Joseph in Egypt." The announcement of others to follow later. The bowling alley and tennis court, will be in shape to receive the enthusiastic players of the games. On Monday, July 17, there will be given upon this ground one of the biggest enclosed Marathon races ever staged among our people. Roscoe Collins is preparing the races daily. There will be on display the trophies, cups and medals for this event at Knights', the jeweler, 2335 Market St. This track will be laid around the midway, staked off, and ground specially graded to assure the racers and the public the best exhibition of this kind ever produced on an enclosed track. This, in conjunction with "John the Baptist;" which will be produced July 17th assures the public of a big night. The management has secured several road attractions from a booking house which will be produced beginning July 17, giving the public some of the newest novelties ever secured. There will be fireworks only July 4, by special permission. Miss Mack has arranged to give exhibition, showing the newest and most up-to-date dances. These dances have been prepared for exhibition nights, July 4, 10 and 17, inclusive. There will be a Persian Garden, which will bring us thoughts of our friends across the sea and will be decorated with palms, and other beauties of the Orient. This can be secured for whist parties, clubs and meetings of clubs, etc. This garden can be secured by arranging with the management to prevent confliction.

Have Learned to Nearly 4,000 Pore Agencies Throughout South. New Agencies Established. Great Success Accessibilized. Over 1,000 persons saw and applauded the more than 2,000 feet of motion pictures of "Poro" College at the Wheat Street Baptist Church, in Atlanta, Ga., last Monday night. One night's showing did not satisfy the great assembly for whose benefit the pictures were shown, and they were shown again the following Thursday night at the Reed Street Baptist Church. The enthusiasm shown over this greatest industrial and educational film ever produced of a college of this kind, rivaled that of the Birmingham and Memphis crowds. The pictures each night seemed to mark the climax of a series of events which had gone before, and the pleasing expression on the faces of the vast gathering, signified all had spent a must enjoyable evening. The executive force were the guests of Mrs. Fannie Smith, 391 Anburn Avenue, while in Atlanta, who, together with almost 150 "Poro" agents, made their stay a pleasant one. During this Southern tour much time was spent by Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone, assisted by the chief clerk in the demonstration department, Miss Iva Miller, giving demonstrations in "Poro" System, which resulted in the setting up of a large number of new agents. Coming homeward, the forces paid a visit to the agents of Chattanooga, Tenn. They have no doubt collected a number of interesting and thrilling scenes on their trip which they will delight in exhibiting to St. Louisans with pictures of the recent A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Conferences and "Poro" College, at the Central Baptist church, Monday evening, July 3, at eight o'clock. Owing to inclement weather the exhibition to be given for the benefit of the Macedonia Baptist Church, Brady Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets, E. St. Louis, Ill., was postponed until Friday evening, July 7, at 8:15 prompt. Admission both evenings, 10 cents. The regular monthly meeting of East St. Louis, and local "Poro" agents will be held at "Poro" College, Monday evening, July 3, at 6 o'clock. All agents are requested to be on time and come prepared to attend the exhibition that night. The college will be closed to business, Tuesday, July 4, all day. THE ELKS' ANNUAL SERMON AND DAY EXCURSION The first annual sermon of Polar Wave Lodge No. 112 took place at A.M. E. Zion Church Sunday, June 25, 1916. The street parade caused much favorable comment from all. Several prominent citizens remarked that they never saw a better appearing organization in parade in St Louis before. Nearly the entire membership turned out, attired in Palm Beach suits, white hats, shoes and gloves, purple ties and hat bands. The lady Elks, known as White Temple No. 19, turned out 190 strong in more than twelve autos. On Monday, June 26, the Elks gave their day excursion on the steamer-Grey Eagle and carried a large crowd. It is a matter of much pride with the Elks that one of their number, H. A. Smith, dealer in furnishings for men and women, millinery and tailoring at 243 Market St., furnished a large number of the suits and ties for the occasion. COURT OFFICERS ENTERTAINED An extraordinary function of the season was noted at the magnificent home of Mrs., Gertrude Sutherland, in Kinloch, Mo., last Friday evening, June 23. The guest of honor was Miss Catherine R. White, who had been re-elected unanimously by the Grand Court H. of J. of Missouri and juriediction as grand secretary, also Mrs. Eva G. Bolden, who was elected grand endowment and burial secretary. Refreshments were served in a manner that would please any and all, after a regular course dinner. Those present were: Mrs. Ruth Watts, Josie L. Lee, Mary B. Thompson, Minnie L. Yeizer, Amelia Bowman, Imogene L. Brown, Vida Anderson, and Miss Gladya M. Bowman. All of the guests left feeling that Mrs. Sutherland had distinguished herself as an hostess. Long live such pleasant moments in the hearts and minds of all, for such pleasant associations are as priceless gems, valuable and rare. MOVING PICTURES OF NEGRO LIFE SUNDAY NIGHT, JULY 3, AT ST. PAUL'S CHAPEL, FRIDAY NIGHT AT UNION MEMORIAL A beautiful pageant of picturesque scenes of Negro life in St. Louis in moving pictures will be presented next Monday night, July 3, at St. Paul A. I. E.

Page, of Langston, Okla., will deliver an address at the Galilee Baptist Church, on Adams St., between Leffingwell and Ewing Avenue, Sunday afternoon, July 2, at 3 p. m.

Prof. Page is an educator whom educators admire and laymen love, a man upon whom the race can depend, even behind closed doors. Hear him; you are welcome. This distinguished man will speak Sunday afternoon as the educational leader of the Baptist family of the west. The Board of Education of Western College, elected Prof. Page president of Western College, and in this way the Board takes pleasure in introducing him to the Negro citizens of St. Louis and especially the Baptists, as the president, of Western College, who succeeds Dr. J. H. Garnett. Be on time if you want a seat, because the church people know him and will hear him. GIGANTIC COUNTY BARBECUE WILL BE HELD JULY 27.

Edwards, who will manage the big-barbecue MAJORS MAKES OVERLAND TRIP W. L. Majors, president of Oxford College, 4246 West Belle Pl. departed Wednesday for points in Missouri, Kansas, Okla., Iowa, and Nebraska, in his car accompanied by Misses Alpy Sims, secretary and Arvella Michaux. The purpose of making this trip is to visit all of his agents in the above named states and by touring in his machine, he finds it more convenient to reach those agents who live in the rural districts than to travel by rail. Mrs. Majors will not accompany her husband on this tour, but will remain to look after the business, so anyone desiring Mr. Majors to make a stop in their city, or town, or rural district, while on his tour through above mentioned states, will kindly write in at once (giving name, address or railroad) and he will arrange to visit you. OPEN JULY 3 NEW $7,000 LAUNDRY TO OPEN Accurate Laundry and Cleaning Company's Plant in Operation Saturday. Formal Opening With Flowers Wednesday. Latest Improved Machines Save Clothing. Automobile and Wagon Delivery Service. Entire Equipment Designed for Speed and High Quality of Service Wednesday, July 5, will witness the opening of the Accurate Laundry and Cleaning Company's new plant at 2351-53 Chestnut St. While the plant will be put in operation on Saturday, the formal opening has been fixed for the Wednesday following. The plant will be decorated and open to all visitors and the management will take especial pleasure in showing visitors through. A profusion of carnations and potted plants will adorn the office and each visitor will be given a flower. An invitation is extended to the public and it is hoped that everyone will come. The Accurate Laundry & Cleaning Company is a new business venture among Colored people in St. Louis. It will be under the management of Mr. R Herbert Stanton, who was the manager of the Acme Laundry Company for six years and until recently. Mr. Stanton is an experienced laundryman, having had seven years in the business and ranks among the best laundrymen in St. Louis. Actively associated with him will be Mr. Priestly H. Carter, the genial and well-known laundryman, who is given credit for being one of the best hustlers in the business and as reliable as the succession of days. Messrs. Stanton and Carter have the distinction of having made a washing formula that is in use by many of the big white laundries of the city. How Plan Save Clothing The accurate plan is equipped with twenty-five of the latest improved machines for laundrying and cleaning. Under the system used there will be absolutely no friction or rubbing. Everything will be done by the method of pressing. Shirt bosoms, collars, cuffs and other portions of that and other garments are placed in the machine and pressed. After the garment is once placed in position there is no movement whatever save a downward motion from on top. It is said that clothing laundered by this method wear as long again as those done by the old and usual method. The delivery and collecting service of the company will be done by one automobile and two wagons for the present. Later another machine will be added. This part of the business has been so systematized that clothing may be collected and delivered in the shortest possible time. In connection with this plan the company has purchased a KAR-MI-PRINCE OF INDIA HERE NEXT WEEK Booker Washington Theater Secures This Wonderful Oriental Mystery and His Company. Most Startling Performance of the Age. The Booker Washington Theater will present to its patrons, next week one of, if not the greatest act that has ever been seen on the vaudeville stage. Mr. Turpin, at an enormous expense, has engaged Kar-mi, Prince of India, high priest of occult powers and weird conjurer of the spirits of mystery. The prince will appear with his own company and we are promised a marvelous demonstration of occult power, an astonishing exhibition of oriental spirit work, glittering costumes, gorgeous stage settings, all forming an astounding novelty act. The Great Kar-mi comes from that fanatical sect of conjurers and spirit workers known as the Idra- and Banjola, or Supreme Masters of Life and Death. The fences he performs are so many that it is useless to try to explain here. He swallows a loaded gun barrel and shoots a cracker from a person's head. His transposition of a living person is pronounced by scientists the most mystifying performance ever recorded. Everything he does seems utterly at variance with any of the known laws of nature. On the Plains of Delhi, surrounded by the assembled Maharajas of India and royal personages of Europe, Kar-mi performed the rare feat of suspended animation, being buried alive and res- PRICE 5 CENTS --- The Board of Directors, officers and stockholders of the Accurate Laundry and Cleaning Company respectfully request your presence at the formal opening of their model plant Wednesday, July 5, 1916, at 2351-53 Chestnut St., from 10 o'clock a. m. to 7 o'clock p. m.

Few of the laundries in St. Louis are equipped with this machine which saves hours in turning out work. Another machine which will aid in quick service is an endless chain dry house which carries the damp clothing through and discharges them automatically when dry. With these two machines a starching method has been installed which will save two hours in the time required to turn out shirts. It is a safe statement that St. Louis will witness laundry work of a quality and service that for convenience and speed has not been seen here before. Another feature that will interest visitors is the system used in taking care of waste steam and water. All steam, except that which is grease-filled, is condensed into water and conveyed to a large tank holding 10,000 gallons. This partially hot water is thus ready in a short while and without the expenditure of much heat energy. The plant is driven by electric motor and is a model in sanitation. A big exhaust fan takes off all dampness and keeps the place cool and the floors are granitoid throughout, being easy to wash. $7,000 Corporation The company is incorporated under the laws of Missouri with a capital stock of seven thousand dollars at the par value of one hundred dollars per share. It is composed of well-known business men whose names are a guarantee to the public. Mr. R. Herbert Stanton is president, Prof. E. D. Hamilton is secretary and Mr. P. H. Carter is treasurer. Besides the names mentioned, the board of directors is composed of the following: Measars, Henry Thornton, P. N. Ingram, R. M. Smoot, Lee Gibson, Leonard Cullem, Isadore Shafner, Dr. S. P. Stafford and Atty. Geo. L. Vaughn. Among the stockholders is Mr. R. R. Freeman, who is also connected with another laundry concern. Mr. Geo. L. Vaughn is attorney for the company. urrected after 42 days. Federal authorities refused to permit him to repeat this in America. Mr. Turpin witnessed the show in Sedalia this week and says it is the most sensational performance he ever saw. As an extra attraction the patrons will enjoy a return engagement of Eddie Green, the eccentric comedian, who made his first appearance here with a moving picture, accompaniment and the Jimmie Cox Trio, a riot of song, dance and comedy. NEW ORPHEUS ACADEMY'S ONLY RIVER EXCURSION Positively, the Only River Boat Party, under the auspices of the Famous New Orpheus Academy, will be given on the elegant steamer Grey Eagle Monday evening, July 10. The most popular old and several new dances will be the special features. Jas W. Grant, the old campaigner, will be master of ceremonies. The fare will be 35 cents and everybody is invited to make the trip and enjoy the opportunity to have a genuine sociable good time. PEERLESS KNIGHTS ANNUAL SERMON SUNDAY The Renewal Order of Piecess Knights will have their annual sermon Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at Union Memorial M. E. Church, Leffingwell and Pine St. Rey. B. F.

Sattler Chemical Co., NEW YORK CITY. The position of coroner is one which should be filled with the greatest care because of its peculiar functions. It should be filled by a broad-minded, upright, fearless, Christian man; one who, in discharging his official duties will enforce the law regardless of whether it be a Jew or gentile. The Colored people should be vitally interested in the election of a coroner who will consider the life of a Negro the life of a human being, and when a Negro is involved, enforce the law just as vigorously as when white people are concerned. In former years the law has been so laxly enforced that St. Louis is filled NATHAN FRANK THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE When Nathan Frank, as representative to Congress from the 12th district of Missouri took his seat in that body in 1889 he at once attracted attention. His loyal training and broad and comprehensive views on national issues gained for him much appreciation and placed his name in the rank of eminent lawyers and statesmen. After Mr. Frank retired from Congress he still maintained a deep interest in the success of the Republican Party, and, has always been at the beck and call of his party for any service that he was qualified to render them, and this service he often rendered freely. If fitness, springing out of experience and moral and intellectual training and service to the nation and party is a necessary qualification for U. S. Senator, Frank can have no superior in Missouri. He is an original Hughes man and should Hughes become president and Frank be elected as United States Senator, Honorable Nathan Frank will hold up the hands of our president while the battle will be ston on the side of the party. It is useless to enumerate his good deeds for the city, the state and the nation. Men who know him will tell the story. His fair treatment of men without regard to race can be testified to by hundreds of the Negroes in St. Louis. Let us vote for Nathan Frank in the primary. He is capable and deserving—P. H. M. STANLEY HANS WULFF Republican candidate for nomination for Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction No. 2, was born and educated in St. Louis and is devoted to the city and its development. He is active, broad-minded and capable. He is in the prime of life. Those who know him give him credit for being considerate in judgment and drawing no color line between races and nationalities. He is a winner. His nomination, already is one of the certainties of the campaign. P. H. M. Page 8 with criminals. It has been a very easy matter for the political fixers to turn the worst criminals loose, to live amongst the best Negroes in St. Louis, and it is time that the Negroes were awakening to this situation and choosing a fearless and upright man to fill the office of coroner. In Dr. Rudolph Vitt, you will find the emboliment of justice and honesty. He asks to be nominated on the Republican Ticket, August I. He promises to place the coroner's office and its official records on a high plane in harmony with the great courts of justice. Dr. Vitt is quite well known, and everywhere can be heard only the most favorable comment on his candidacy. M. JONES H. PARKER FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR. THE MAN FOR THE PLACE AND THE PLACE FOR THE MAN Among the worthy and well-qualified candidates that have filed on the Republican ticket for Public Administrator is Jones H. Parker. He is a lawyer with a most excellent reputation at the bar for both ability and honesty. He has rendered splendid service to the state, as a member of the legislature, favoring, introducing or helping in the passage of measures that always has had the tendency of benefiting the people. He is a people's man in the broadest sense; not allowing descent, nationality, color, race or class to have weight with his judgment, and, the reason why we say that he would make a first-rate Public Administrator, is be- cause in settling estates of small amounts he would not allow his office or legal cormorants to ear it up and leave the widow and orphans penniless. Such a man is 'needed as public' administrator. Many poor estates come into his hands intestate, and he need be fair, square, humane and generous in administering them so as to see that a portion, at least, is given to the heirs. It is not a job to be conducted with partisan bias, but by just such a heart and just such a head as has marked the entire career of Jones H. Parker. It is often remarked that Jones H. Parker resembles in features—the immortal Abraham Lincoln, but the physical resemblance, however close it may be, cannot be any nearer than is his moral sense; for the freedom from pomp, that geniality, that love of fellowman which made one the highest type of our American manhood dwells in goodly quantities in the other. The Negro, at least, must not forget that Mr. Parker was their friend in the legislature; stood by them in St. Louis when attempt was made to segregate them, and as public Administrator he will draw no lines on color, but administer even-handed justice to all alike. Note for Parker. P. H. M. What do you want for your dollar? A lot of worthless stuff, or one hundred cents' worth of good reading matter? You can get your money's worth by subscribing for the Argus.

Most emphatically does it refer to the ambush and massaere at Carrizal, where a section of the Tenth Cavalry fought bravely and nobly. The editorial in part says: "It was a great exhibition of physical courage and endurance. But the fight at Carrizal was a greater moral demonstration. There was but remote chance of victory. The Negro troopers spilled their blood like water, knowing that death was certain. But they had the traditions of the service, the glory of America and the unsullied reputation of 'the fighting Tenth' to maintain." and his devotion to a flag in the stars of which he can see his way, through difficulties, to glory; but it is our flag and our country because we have purchased it by labor, blood and patriotism, and no The slud but glorious event only demonstrates the Negro's loyalty petty party organization of race baiters can wrest it from our hands. It is not the Negro, but a certain class of white men, who do not in full appreciate the full power, glory, and magnificent and universal scope which this grand banner gives us. All men are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights—free speech, free religion, free press, due process of law before conviction, the protection of life, liberty and property, impartial jury trial, equal protection of the law, citizenship to all born or naturalized in the United States. These are the principles that the old flag has written on its folds, in the blood of white men and the blood of Negroes. Upon these our patriotism stands and for these our brave soldiers, as well as the American armies of brave white soldiers, have fought many hard won battles. Upon the unsullied courage of the Negro soldiers at Carrizal, at San Juan, as well a thousand other places do we stand and demand that the American people give us the right to vote and put no partial restrictions upon it, that we are allowed to travel as others, that no restrictions be placed upon our right to live at any place where by purchase or contract we have obtained the right to a residence. This is what the Negro fights for and this is what the American flag represents, and no party, however poisoned it may be with race feeling, can make the dear old flag of our country represent anything else. It is our flag and our constitution. "Ours to defend, ours to transmit, ours to enjoy, and ours to perpetuate." Frederick Douglass said in 1864, when the fight was on for the enfranchisement of the Negro and the Massachusetts 54th Regiment and other Negro troops had covered themselves with glory on many battlefields in the South, Douglass then said: "If we are good enough to use bullets, we are good enough to use ballots. If we are good enough to march with white men, under the star-spangled banner, to the battlefield, we should not be denied the right to march with white men, under the star-spangled banner, to the ballot box." We cannot be citizens when the nation is in peril and aliens when the nation is at safety. Against such a conclusion every sentiment of honor and manly fraternity utters an indignant protest. ELECT A NEGRO COMMITTEE The Seventeenth Ward has now a fine opportunity to elect a Negro member of the city Republican Committee. We badly need a Negro representative on that most important board of party management. The 17th ward has the largest Negro vote of any ward in St. Louis and it should be represented on the City Republican Committee of St. Louis. Up to recent years the City Committee always had a Colored member, sometimes two and three, and the preliminary affairs of that party were never arranged without consultation with the Negro. Now is the time to elect a committeeman, don't put it off any longer. Find a good, strong man. A man of honor and brain, and he can do wonders for the great body of Negroes. We must not let our individual aspirations interfere with the success of the movement. If we can't get the man we want, why, then agree on any other good fellow. Get together, vote for one Colored man for the committee, and he will be elected. The Negro polls over 75 per cent of the vote in the entire ward. Precinets 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are almost solid Negro votes. Precinets 5, 9, 10 are over 50 per cent Colored. Your political powers are measured by your voting strength. So now is the time to show your loyalty and support a Negro for Committeeman from the Seventeenth Ward. The Seventeenth Ward has no Negro member of the city Republic a Negro representative on that management. The 17th ward has the larger Louis and it should be represented tee of St. Louis.

MORRIS FOR GOVERNOR While politicians are figuring and planning, let the voters be thinking about the kind of man they desire to vote into the office of Governor of the State of Missouri. A son of a member of the original Republican party, he has upheld its principles and fought in its ranks, from the time he reached manhood's estate, to the present time. Conducting the campaign of 1896 as chairman of the Second District Congressional Committee when McKinley ran for President, he displayed marked ability as a master of detail. He served as a member of the Republican State Committee, and was elected at large in 1902. In 1904 as chairman of the Speakers' Bureau of the State Committee, he again displayed his great executive ability, sending speakers into every important corner of the state to expound the doctrines of the party, and again in 1908 he was selected chairman of the Sepakers Bureau, when Herbert S. Hadley was elected the first Republican Governor of During all these years of service Mr. Morris has never been a candidate for office or sought political preference. His wide experience as the editor and owner of several newspapers has kept him in touch and sympathy with the great masses of the people, whose needs and right he has always championed and fought for. As Chairman of the State Committee in 1910, Mr. Morris proved his courage and fidelity to the Republican party in distinguished and untiring service, raising largely by personal appeal, more than $18,000 to fight the contest of Democrats, who sought to oust Republicans honestly elected to office. "Morris for Governor" should be the slogan of every thinking Republican voter, who desires to desires to see a man rewarded that stands high above all other candidates in point of faithful, active and consistent service to the Republican party.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned paychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know.

M. THEATRES The Manhattan Stock Company, playing at the Booker Washington Theater this week, is heavy, in point of numbers and noise, but rather weak in talent. The choruses are shy a good bass, and the singers generally have poor voices. Yet there are some redeeming features. Jack Taylor, the contortionist, is good and compares favorably with others in that line. King Rastus Brown is really the champion of all buck dancers. He does quite a bit of descriptive work and is roundly applauded for his efforts. He is meeting all challenges this week and has a special competition for Saturday night. Next week the great Kar-mi and company will be at this house. See article on page 1. The two big picture features, "The Secret of the Submarine," on Monday, and "The Social Pirates," on Wednesday, are drawing packed houses. ELECTRIC SHOE REPAIRING SHOP 913 North Whittier Wedo.
