MISSOURI KANSAS KNIGHTS
TEMPLAR ASSOCIATION.

According to Sir P. G. Kincaid, who
is authority on matters pertaining to
this association, this was the Twenty
fourth Annual Conclave instead of
the nineteenth, as it appeared on the
bills.
Notwithstanding the dark birth hour
of the day, the early trains on all the
roads entering st. Joseph added their
quota to the $50 uniformed Knights
whose ardor could not be dampened
by the weather, for they came deter
mined to make this the red-1etter day
among Masons in this Section of the
state. Never in the history of the
association has there been present
such large number of distinguished
Masons, coming as they did from both
Kansas and Missouri.
Standing the peer of any Mason of
the country we noted the presence of
the Most Worshipful Grand Master of
Masons of Missouri, Hon. Nelson C.
Crews of Kansas City, who, in knight
ly uniform, made the street parade and
enjoyed himself fraternizing with his
brethren. Sir w. G.. Mosley, president
of the association, and the Rt. Emmi-
nent Grand Commander of the Grand
Commandery of Missouri were in evil
dence discharging, as always, with
credit to himself and honor to the
order, the duties incident to his po-
sition.
The r. E. Grand Commander of the
Grand Commaandery of Kansas was
present with two commanaderies, one
from Lawrence and one from Topeka
and we'll may he be proud of his plum
ed Knights from the sunhower state.

in thought and form. 1t was pleasing
and sincere and well received.
Hon. Nelson C. Crews, in his inimit-
able style, introduced Sir w. G. Mos
ley, who responded to the address of
welcome. In this introduction Grand
well-deserved compliment for his Ma
sonic zeal and ability, and predicted
higher honors in store for him in the
future. He characterized him as mod
est, unassuming, tireless and able, and
one of the factors which make for the
greatness of the jurisdiction of Mis-
souri,. The response was character
istic of the man for those who have
hear Sir Mosley often will agree that
he always talks with the punch which
inspires to both thought and action.
In the discussion of his topic, can
cient Knighthood," Sir NJ. F. Fields
was entirely original, for after giving
something of the history of the order
he entered into a discussion of wom-
ans place in it and advanced the idea
that women should be organized, and
uniformed and drilled, and he served
notice that he would bring a drill
corps to the Golden Jubilee of the
Grand Lodge to be held in Kansas
City in August 1916, drilled and pre-
pared to give the well-drilled organiza.

prize. To this enterprise he assured
the support of the Grand Master. Past
Grand Master DR.. M. o. Ricketts, dis
cussed the topic Catch Step" He
called attention to the tremendous
force of stepping in unison by saying
that when large bodies of men were
marching they were thrown out of step
in approaching bridges to prevent the
impact of the step from destroying
those structures. His theme was the

DICKEYFOR SENATOR
A Great Meeting at Casino Last Mon
day Night and More Than One
Thousand Persons Present.

TheRepublican meeting in the in
terest of Hon. w. s. Dickey for Sena-
tor was the most largely attended Re
publican meeting that tas been held
in this city for the past five years.
A Glee club led in singing patriotic
airs and at eight o'clock Mr.. H. R.
Ennis called the meeting to order and
presented Mr.. Geo. H. Edwards as the
chairman of the evening. The hall was
decorated in draped flags and G. o. P.
pennants bearing the slogan Back to
Prosperity, 1916" The speakers of the
evening were Walter S. Dickey, Geo.
H. Neff. W. ]. Berkowitz, Jno. F. Cell,
C. NJ. Blackmar, H. NJ. Beardsley,
Nelson c. Crews and DR.. F. w. Froeh-
ling.
In his talk Mr.. Dickey called atten-
ton to the unusual importance, not
only to the state, but to the nation, of
Missouri electing a Republican senator
in 1916.
Missouri is a pivotal state" ne said.
The election of Republican presi-
dent and of a Republican majority in
the house is certain. But the good
work thus accomplished will be largely
nullified if the Democrats are to con-
tinue in possession of the senate. The
count of votes in that body will be so
close that the election of Republican
from Missouri probably will be suffi-
cient to swing the power from the
Democrats.
It's Not Too Early.

importance to us as a race of acting
in unison and having one common pur-
pose; yith leaders whom we should
follow selected to lead us to the ac-
complishment of that purpose. He in
sisted upon the slogan Catch Step"
and the wedding out of those who
could not harmonic themselves with
the spirit of advancement and pro-
gress.
The Most Worshipful Grand Master
disclaimed his enlistment under the
banner which Sir Fields had earlier in
the evening unfurled by paying a
glowing tribute to the H. M. S. which
he had seen on parade in some city
of the South. He thought this the
sible for women to attach themselves.
Many were in some suspense as to
what this society was until he ex-
planned that 1t was the Home Makers
society and that its members were
armed with rolling pins. He dis
claimed any desire to limit the sphere
of true womanhool, but could never
subscribe to the idea that the women
of the race should ever be called upon
to WELD sword in the defense of
womanhool. He very eloquently dis
cussed the value of the Templar to
the Craft Masonry and his hearers
were delighted with the humor, wit
and pathos of his eloquent and splen-
did appeal to the brain. heart and
hand of men of his race to unite for
the solution of the many vexatious
problems which it was theirs to solve.
This was one of the happiest of his
many happy efforts and all were great
ly pleased.

panied by the orchestra Joined in sing

PULLMAN PoRTERS BENEFIT
ASSOCIATION.
BY S. n. Burnett.

1t is noteworthy at this time while
both by the Pullman company and its
porters to alleviate the standing of its
employees. This, while it is of partic-
uIar interest to the porters, is of no
less interest to every Negro. With
this in mind, the writer asks leave to
tions as they exist among the por-
ters of the st. Louis district, showing
how heartily the men are endeavoring
to cooperate with the Company in its
benevolence. 1t was the good fortune
of the writer to have been privileged
to visit and take note of things as they
exist in st. Louis.
We found everything very highly
pleasing and encouraging, so much so,
we could not forego giving them cred
ible mention. They have spacious
quarters, consisting of three-story
building equipped with shower bath,
reading room and piano in the recep-
tion room. This room is used every
Sunday afternoon for sacred services.
They have a ladies' auxiliary club in
connection with the association. This
club consists of wives and children of
the porters of that district. These
series of entertainments are given in
order to raise money for beautifying
their quarters and also to look after
the porters and their families when
they are sick.
Among the porters from Kansas
City district present were: w. H.
Maddox, ]. w. Graves, S. H. Burnett,
W. Schumacher.

On account of a steady downpour of

delayed until o'clock, when about 200
Knights paraded the principal streets

Before a crowd of $500 enthusi-
astic spectators, Lincoln High, of
Kansas City, went down to defeat to
Sumner High, on the campus of st.
Louis University, Thursday.
The score was 81 to O. From be-
ginning to end Summers eleven proved
themselves far the superior of the Lin
coin team.
The only regrettable feature of the
game was, as the boys put it, Sum
ner had no chance to star, We had a
walk-over." However, Green, Wesley,
Hutchinson, CASTOR and Young, had to
show themselves by passing over the
Lincoln goal almost at will, Kansas
City seldom interfering with any of
their moves.-Argus.

As the chief promoter of the Mis-
souri, River Navigation Company
project, Mr.. Dickey naturally spoke a
few words in favor of river develop
ment.
1900 he was the county chairman,
and recalled last night that then the
Republican party won here its first
victory in twenty-seven years.
In 1908, he was the chairman of the
state committee, when the party elect
ed the first Republican governor Of
Missouri since the Civil war and car
ried the state for Republican presi.
dent.
For Protective Tariff.
"In those days, in spite of the fact
that it frequently was suggested to me
that l run for mayor, or for congress
man, or for something else, was too
busy-I had neither the time nor the
inclination to run for office. Now |
have both"
Cheers greeted this announcement,
almost equal to the resounding demon
stration that was made when Mr..
Dickey arose to speak. He then turned
to national issues, outlining his posi-
tion as unreservedly in support of a
protective tariff.
Men from all walks of life were
present at this meeting and it clearly
demonstrated that Mr.. Dickey will
have Kansas City and Jackson county

AS a result of the favorable

countiez in appropriating funds

liberal contribution from the
Santa Fe System, C. R. Fillerup

has met a warm welcome from
the farmers, who are eager to
get all the information possible
and are willing to follow his
leadership in order that they
may succeed. 1t is planned that
Mr.. Fillerup's work will not
only have to do with assisting
the farmers who are already To-
Gated in Navajo and Apache
counties, but also that special
preparation will be made for
getting hold of and assisting
every new settler who comes into
the country. 1t is the plan of

MERCHANTS, GET WISE!

Every merchant has a better
chance to do business with the
people in his neighborhood than
has the far-away mail order
house.
1t doesn't cost him as much to
get trade as it costs the out
slider.
He can draw the people to his
store and show them the actual
article they are interested in;
and this beats catalogs to a
frazzle.
When his customers buy they
can take the goods with them or
have them delivered at once, in
stead of waiting from one to
two weeks longer.
The home merchant is on the
inside track. But the trouble
too often is that instead of push
ing his business through adver-
tising. like the far-away mail
order house does, he sits idly by
and cusses his luck and unfair
competition.
Don't hide your light behind q
bushel. The public likes an ag-
gressive business man. And
they like to do business with
that kind.
Be on the offensive, not de-
fensive. -Ex.
