business in order to give a sure pro-
lection to her mother. The good
mother, seeing her bright condition
that day prevailed with her to not be
in haste and aurged that her daughter
did not know what she wanted. Kind
ly but positively the reply came: DO
you think | have travelled under John
Lange's management eleven years
and don't know what 1 want? When
leave you, mother, l want to die in
telligently." And so she did. She left
a modern home, a reasonable fund for
her mothers livelihood with all busi-
ness so clearly arranged that there
was embarrassment to none. She left
her responsible position Of travelling
financial clerk and leading singer in
first class condition with the Blind
Boone Co. Although out of voice, she
did not leave her work until she could
find a substitute whom she believed
to be honest, reliable and willing to
| show a personal interest in the great
work of the company. By her careful
instructions before she left, Boone
says that his work is now being car
ried on just as systematically as
though nothing ever happened. She
left a good name with the business
firms and dealers with whom she
came in contact. Mr.. McQuitty, pro
prietor of a leading printing estab-
lishment, Moberly, Mo-, sent per
sonal letter of regret to the bereaved
mother and Blind Boone Co. He said
that her eleven years of business re-
lations with his firm was always
honest, clean and prompt.
She left millions of friends not only
at her home but all over the United
States and Canada where she travel
ed. One Of her friends, crippled
lady who scarcely went anywhere in
her own town, made the trip of three
hundred miles to pay the last tribute
of respect. This lady; Mrs Mary J.
Slower, of Joplin. Mo. was not alone;
many out-of-town friends were there
and others would have come had they
known.
Miss Emma has gone. but she Is
not dead. She has written her name
on the hearts of men and 1t shall
NEVER die.

PROGRESSIVE COOPERATION.
BY CHAS. STARKS.

In times when wrangling and back
biting seem to be the chief note in the
public action of so-called leaders, it
is good to be able to serenely look
above the din of unseemly strife and
breathe the purer atmosphere of sound
motive, where steady, aggressive work
find expression in spirit of co-opera-
tion, first, to do the right thing, say
the best word, and leave off the evil.
AS individuals, the race has shown
superior class and numberless cases
might be quoted to show prominent
successes of individuals in all lines,
but real unity of action is decidedly
conspicuous by its absence, the tend
ency being rather to exercise an in
tolerant and spiteful spirit, pulling
down that which is built up and try
ing to reap without going through the
necessary process of sowing. This is
distinctly true locally. Now what
can be done to bring about decent
display of cooperation and collective
Greater Kansas City? The answer to
TINS, II not found, could at least be
looked for in what appears to be the
two major organizations among the
people, namely, the Business League
and the Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. If the mem
bers and the people rightfully under
stood these organizations there would
never be any cause for friction, to
know fundamentally what they are
and hope to do, brings the member
to a happy willingness to cooperate
with his neighbor that in truth all
things desired may be realized. The
Business League desires that the COM
mercial interests of the Afro-Ameri-

Grievious Charges Are Made Public
Against A. M. tE. Church Bishop.
TO BISHOPS COUNCIL
Ira 7. Bryant, Head of Sunday School
Union, Files His Charges With Bish.
ops and Demands Action on Them.
Uses as Henchmen Men of Debased
Character Who Can Be Used for a
Reward of Money or Preferment in
Church to Further His Purposes.

The Bishops Council of the A. NJ.
e. church, in session at the st. James
A. M. e. church, New Orleans, La,
has been called upon by Ira T. Bry-
ant, secretary of the A. NJ. e. Sunday
School Union, with headquarters at
Nashville, Tenn, to investigate
charges of the most serious nature
which he has preferred against Bish-
op Joshua H. Jones, of Exenia, Ohio,
who presides over the Alabama and
Tennessee conferences. The charges,
which embrace alleged stealing, ly-
ing, maladministration, neglect of
duty and conduct unbecoming a bish-
that exclude one from grace and
glory" were fifst published in the
Young Allenite early in 1914, and re-
iterated in the Nashville News Feb
5, 1915.
In making public the charges
against Bishop Jones, Mr.. Bryant ap-
peals to the Bishops Council for the
appointment of committees from the
various annual conferences of the dis
trict to hear the case. Numerous in
stances are cited in which alleged ac-
tions of the bishop come under the
head of violations of church law as
well as of episcopal ethics. In max
ing his charges Mr. Bryant has not
hesitated to lay himself open to the
possibility of facing a suit for dam
ages or for criminal libel, but he de-
clares that he will gladly face such
charges, and states that although Bish-
op B. F. Lee has advised Bishop Jones
to file such suit, for some reason
Jones had failed to sue.
The charge is also made that Bish-
op Jones has not scrupled to use as
henchmen of the most debased moral
character. 1t is charged that the Rev.
w. H. Nixon of Alabama. who is
now one of the leading officials in
the G. U. o. o. F., being a grand audit
or, is one of the men used by Bishop
Jones.
Speaking of Mr.. Nixon, Bryant uses
the following language:
Everybody knows Nixon. Bishop
Jones knew him as a conspicuous
character about a Wilberforce COM
mencement, for it was there Nixon
met and won one of the grandest
women the race ever produced, Miss
Elizabeth Jackson, who died for the
actual necessities of life after marry
ing him. Nobody who knows
Nixon Intimately believes there is any.
thing under the sun too dirty for Mix
on to do for money or little popu-
larity. Bishop Jones knew the char
acter of Nixon and that he would
need him for future service, so his
first official act after coming to this
district was to make Nixon presiding
elder of the Huntsville district.
He found Nixon serving a mission,
for it had not been quite four years
that he was expelled from the church
for seducing a woman"

Mr.. W. H. HubbeII| has purchased
beautiful, new Allen car of the

your Pullman palace cars, they're not

after the staff of the Sun had taken
spin around the block in it, they
were so highly pleased that he had to
talk of getting a policeman to get them
out.
The editor has no hesitancy in say
ing that this is one of the most beau
tiful and up-to-date cars owned by the
race in this city. And the best of all
