AN IDEAL PHARMACY.

The Ideal Pharmacy located in the
Masonic Temple, 18th and Woodland
avenue, is in every particular true to
its name, and is ideal in service, fur
nishings and appointment, and since it
has passed from the hands of a stock
company into the sole possession of
Prof. R. w. Foster, it has apparently
taken on new life and every prescrip-
ton, patent medicine, soap, or other
drug sundry can now be found at this
very popular business place. Prof.
Foster has associated with him DR..
Elmer Morris, recently of Omaha, the
brilliant young pharmacist, and grad
uate of the Creighton Medical College,
class '1S, and assisted by Mrs. Foster,
the genial and lovable wife of the pro-
prietor, whose friends are legion, the
Sun has no hesitancy in saying that
this will undoubtedly become one of
the most popular resorts in the city
during the summer. Prof. Foster has
omitted no detail to make this an ar
tistic and beautiful place in which tc

discuss with friends an ice cream
soda, sherbet, lemonade, the choicest
candies, or any other confection car
ried by first class drug store. Their
reputation for business integrity is a
household word in this community,
where for thirty years the professor
has been at the head of the largest
Ward school for Colored in this city.
And as he has taught the thousands
of youths who have come under his
control the principles of honesty, de-
cency and industry, he also felt it his
duty to make it possible so far as in
his power lies, to secure places of em.
ployment for our boys and girls that
they might have lofty ambitions and
high ideals and plant on high and firm
er ground the business standard OF
the race. If you have never visited
the Ideal Drug Store, drop in and get
acquainted. They have both phones
free for the public, courteous and
accommodating employees, and will be
pleased to meet you, stranger OIL
friend, at any time.

U. q. 2. ANNUAL aERMoN.

The annual sermon ol the U. B. F.
held in Allen Chapel last Senday, was
the largest demonstration of any fra
ternal order that has been witnessed
in this city in recent years. Fully a
thousand sisters of the 8. M. T. were
in the church, while the parade Of the
brothers, headed by the Peoples
Band brought more than 400 U. B. F's.
The Rev. j. w. Hurse, d. D., who
preached the sermon, was resplend-
ent in a handsome new uniform fur
'nished by the Love Regalia Co., and
preached most excellent sermon and
such a favorable impression did he
make that he is being industriously
doomed as formidable candidate for
Grand Master of the U. B. F. frater-

by the U. B. F.. choir aud Mrs. Ham

second to Washington, d. C., 1t is rea-

years we can boast of some of the

Unfortunately, the weather the past

MASONIC.

Confusion frequently arises over
the mistake of receiving into
lodge a candidate who has pre-
viously been rejected in another
lodge. OF course, no lodge would
deliberately commit such a Ma
sonic blunder. and the mistake Is
usually due to oversight upon part
of the investigating committee
which as a rule has no set form
of queries to PROFOUND to the ap-
plicant The applicant, too, know
ing his disqualifications, may be
evasive and thus mislead the COM
mittee He might even declare
that the committee did not ask
him the question even though the
facts were otherwise.
1t seems that the best method or
avoiding such condition would De
for the Grand Lodge to require
the signed application of the pro-
fame to contain a statement that
he was legitimate material for
lodge fellowship,-that he had not
been rejected In any other lodge.
Then, II facts develop to the con-
trary and the candidate is found
to have received the degrees un-
lawfully, he could be easily ex-
PEELED from the rites which he had
SO unscrupulously invaded.
The plan Of publishing the
names OF rejected candidates and
thus keeping all lodges informed
of such Is not practical and has
other objections as well, though
this pan is practiced In some

Richie C. Coles, who shares with her
appreciation fthe patrons of Garri-
son school.
Mr.. Wright desired Mr.. Coles to ad-
dress the audience, but his modesty
and emotion prevented his making an
address. He only spoke of his sur
prise in the event, and of his desire
to be of further service to the people
among whom he labors.
Mr.. r. E. l.. Bailey, custodian of the
library, made some impressive re-
marks concerning the work OF Mr.
Coles, and also spoqe of the library
at Garrison Field House and urged
more extensive use of the same.
Rev. VIM. H. Thomas, the distin-
guished and eloquent pastor of Allen
chapel, being requested to make some
remarks by Mr.. Wright, very ably
and impressively spoke of the life and
service of Mr.. Coles. He spoke of his
efforts, not only in the educational
field, but also in the business and
social life. He took the occasion to
thank Mr.. Wright, the board of edu-
cation and the park board for all they
had done for the elevation of the Ne
gro in Kansas City, and assured them
that the Negro was grateful and ap-
preciative of everything done for the
advancement of the race.
A great many people in the begin
ming of their career plan some
achievement and toward the success
of that plan they direct every effort.
In some instances years pass, discour-
agements come and possibly death
overtakes them, and they never see
the cherished idea carried out. But
20 years ago Mr.. Coles had a vision,
glorious vision. Beyond the pow
erty the obstacles, the pitiful sur
roundings of his then small school
building, he saw a vision of better
days for his chosen people; of better
environments, of greater possibilities
Derided by his friends, hindered and
opposed by many, yet encouraged by
his superior officers in the school
WORK, he never lost sight of plans laid
out for his people.

At 4 o'clock on Decoration day a
large number of race loving men and
women gathered in an humble section
of Highland Cemetery where Gods
poor are buried, to unveil a modest
marker erected over the grave of the
most faithful, earnest and devoted
worker for the poor and unfortunate
and needy Of his race that Kansas
City has ever produced, the late Sam
uel Eason. Mrs. A. E. jenkins, who
was the prime mover in the project
to secure this monument, presided,
and after the singing of Shall We
Meet Beyond the River" a touching
and impressive prayer was offered by
the Rev. VIM. H. Thomas, D. D., pas
tor of Allen Chapel, and brief eolugies
were delivered by the Rev. S. w. Ba-
cote, the Rev. Richard Davis and Edi-
tor n. c. Crews. At times the whole
assembly was bathed in tears as the
speakers recounted the sacrifices and
the struggles of this lamented saint
And when the Editor referred to the
fact that if there was any man who
had ever lived that would have stars
of victory in his crown on the resur-
rection day, that it would be Samuel
Eason, the "Amens" indicated that his
hearers were heartily in accord with
that sentiment. A brief history of
his life was read by Mrs. Jenkins and
Mrs. Lewis read letter of endorse
ment that had been given to him dur
ing his lifetime by leading white citi
zens. At its conclusion Mrs. Lewis OF
the Oak Leaf Art Club and Mrs
Knox of the Kensington Art Club, who
contributed to the purchase Of the
monument, unveiled it, and after the
benediction the crowd, deeply impress
ed with the solemnity as well as the
significance Of the occasion, silentl!

SECOND EMANCIPATION PLEA
FOR 3. r. WASHINGTON IDEAS.
Condition Of the Negro in the United
States of America.

It has been well said, Necessity
is the mother of invention" If this |
be true, the fault to provide for him |
self is not altogether the Negros. |
This country provides all his neces- |
stiles, why should he fret, he can sup |
ply himself, bountifully, of anything |
he may need except the enjoyment of |
all his rights as citizen. That he
has made remarkable progress in the
last so years is not denied by any race
of mankind. The Negroes wealth, his
property holdings, both real and per
sonal, his acquiring an education in
the sciences and arts over the iron
bound oposition of horny prejudice is
marvellous indeed. But besides all
these accomplishments he has been
an absolute failure in one thing and
that is-of adjusting himself with the
white race of this country. Having
possessed the courage and the ability
to accomplish all other things neces-
sary for his betterment and welfare,
we believe that the time is near at
hand when duty will force him to ad-
just himself, according to the condi-
tions which he must confront in this
country.
| DIR. Booker T. Washington holds the
key of success. He and he alone can
guide the ship safely into harbor. OF
late we hear much about rocking the
boat; we wish to say that those of us
who are against the Booker t. Wash
ington ideas are Rocking the Boat.
The complaint made by some of the
leaders that the white race is our
worst enemy is no longer accepted by
our best leaders. We are just begin
ming to see that the white man In this
country is our best friend for what
lever achievement made, whether in
education or property matter, we OBJ
ttained 1t through him. 1t was and is
the money OF the white man that gives
Ito us of today employment. Hence it
stands to reason and is worth while
that we strive to adjust ourselves with
our best friends. We have seen our
mistake and now are we ready and
willinfi to adjust all essential matters
of difference between Us. Social af-
fairs, never-we are well pleased
with ourselves. We are also uncom-
promisingiy opposed to miscegnation.
5 our hope Is to be real Negroes Of the
u. s. of America, possessing all our
legal and political rights nothing more
nor less. In other words--We stand
up for Second emancipation founded
:. upon the plans and ideas as now pre-
scented by our iilustrious citizen, DIR.
: Booker T., washington. In our next
we shall discuss two topics under the
same caption Segregation" and "Wel'
fare and Upllft" In conclusion. per
NIT me to add that one of the things
since writing my last article has been
}. realized. We now have great biz
fine park-the Lincoln. Here's hopes
for the prosperity OF the Lincoln Parl
h and its entire management.

reported by Miss Maude V. Thornton

On May % Mr.. Purd B. Wright, pub
lie librarian of Kansas City, called
together the teachers and patrons OF
Garrison school in order that he might
be present at the hanging of the pic
ture of r. T. Coles. principal of Gar
rison school, in the library of the Gar
rison Square Field House. Mr.. Wright
was on the eve of his departure to the
librarians convention in California
and desired to have this honor con-
ferred on Mr.. Coles before his depar-
ture. While he regretted exceedingly
that he had not the time to notify
the public of the occasion, he was
very much pleased to see a number
of the patrons of the Garrison school,
who had hurriedly gathered when
they learned of an event of such an
unusual occurrence.
Mr. Wright spoke of the years OF
service and devotion of Mr.. Coles to
the development of the Negro in the
particular portion of the city in which
the Field House and library are stu
ated; of his untiring efforts to Sc
cure for them that magnificent tes-
timonial of his ceaseless vigilance, the
Garrison Square and the buildings
thereon, which would stand as monu'
ment to the 29 years he had labored
among his devoted patrons of Garri
son school. He declared that in nc
city had the Negroes a building simi
lar to the Garrison library, and deemed
it proper that the picture of Mr.. Coles
should be placed upon the walls there
of, an honor to Mr.. Coles shared b!
no other Negro in any public building
