OF the greatest Negro organization

were. Yet 1T lives, and vitalizes the
energies and ambitions Of great
and progressive people. .~
Last Saturday night for the fifth
time S.. w. Gtarks OF West Virginia,
was elected Supreme Chancellor and
he was elected by a vote that might
we'll ftatter one whose deeds and
character are not as yet recorded in
the inspiring page Of history.
Men stood on chairs franticly wav-
ing their hands, seeking to arrest
the attention Of the Supreme Vice
Chancellor in order that they might
put their state on record as second
ing Texas nomination Of Sir Starks
eloquently voiced by DR.. J. w. Ran
kin. 1T was such scene as / have
never BEFORE Witnessed, full Of in
spiration, teaching that the Negroes
have finally come to know that there
IS indeed union, in strength and that
they stand by anxious to endorse and
uphold and ven be crowned conse-
Grated leadership
VI all the secret organizations
which enter SO strongly and so uni
versally into the life and aspirations
Of the Negro people this is not only
the largest and most characterab BILE,
but, If 1t can, If 1t does, truthfully
may it claim and even boast, that it
possesses the finest type of leader
ship seen on the stage of action
within these two and forty years.
The idolatry Of the knights Of
Pythias for their Supreme Chancel-
lor and Commander-in- Chief is not
frenzied, rather is it, permanent, suf-
ficlent, bearing all the marks Of sim
cerity. And this Idol, unlike those
who have passed on, bears in his
heart friendship, wears upon his
brow charity, nor steps beyond the
bounds Of the golden Gordon Of
benevolence.
Men follow Starks not because

cial event of the conclaye was held
at the coliseum. To the strains of
the orchestra OF the Eighth Regi-
ment- Band Of Chicago exhibition
drills were held and music furnish
ed for the formal reception held by
the officers Of the organization.
The second days session was q
most interesting one. 1t was given
over almost entirely to the reading
OF the reports Of several Of the su-
preme officers, including that Of the
Supreme Chancellor, and to the ap-
pointment Of the several Supreme
Lodge committees. -... .. ..
AT the morning session Supreme
Chancellor Starks made the official
announcement of the coming of
Booker T. Washington and on mo-
ton he was given power to appoint
committee to receive the disting-
uished educator and arrange the pro-
gram for his appearance. The conf
mittee was. as follows: L. M. Nit

Taylor, the crack cyclist, accompan8.
led by his family, has arrived uoax5
pectantly in Worcester from France:
where he closed a wonderfully suc~
cessful racing career. When he went
there last spring he was unable TO
show anything like his ofd-tima
lightning form, owing to lack OF con-
dition, but he soon struck his vim
ming gait and won victory after vic
tory over all the crack riders of Eu-
rope, with the exception OF Jacqu@l
lin, who beat him wlf6n he first arr
rived there. Taylor refused later TO
take on return race, as Jacque1fB
had gone of form and been beaten by
second and third rate riders. IS
Taylor defeated Penyon, the Eng3
lish champion; Poulain, French
champion last year; Ellegard. the
Danish champion; Van der Born. the

In that Of the knights OF Pythias.
Camp -Corbin, just beyond the city,
was q Mecca tented city towards

daily. The Louisville papers said it
was the finest camp where tents
were ever kissed by Kentucky's sun,
or whose men ever trod Kentucky's
Dsacred soil. At the dress parade
fifteen thousand visitors, black and
white, rich and poor, high and low,
elbowed each and the other on the
field, and cheered the sta1warts, or
applauded when martial tunes we're

announced that a delegation of the
Pythians, known as the Eastern and

Louisville to attend the sessions Of
the parent body with a view Of

This is considered the beginning
Of the union Of all colored Pythians
throughout the world and is due
wholly to Supreme Chancellor

Of the reins of government ten years
ago, he dedicated himself to this
end.
