THE OLD ORDER PASSETH.

The year 1918 has been borne away
on the mysterious wings of Time,
leaving behind its precious legacy of
history, and its record of achieve
ment and progress of the American
Negro, for coming generations to pc
ruse and point to with pride. The
year wos indeed, memorable mile
stone, marking a significant epoch in
the life of our people in the United
States. With its glorious sunset, we
find our men and women occupying
higher rung on the ladder of Ameri-
can civilization, shouting in exulta-
tion to their comrades to continue To
press forward, for there are still
greater conquests to be made during
the present year 1919.
The unparalleled conflict which has
just been brought to a close served
as a great upheaval, turning out of
its natural course the restless stream
of humanity. 1t has brought into
prominence men and women who for
merly lived in comparative obscurity.
Some have risen to international fame
through the horrible deeds of war {;
others have gained their laurels
through deeds of valor, sacrifices and
noble work.
The Negro has taken his place in
the vanguard which moved forward
with immeasureable speed, and has
adjusted himself to the new regime
with an ease that is characteristic of
the race He has been gladly well
coined into places where, prior to the
war, his presence would have been
considered an objectionable intrusion
In fact, Uncle Sam could not have
gotten along very well without him
The year 1919 finds him engaged in
the various branches of the work of
the government in larger numbers
than ever before, receiving salaries
that seem to many of them like "a
small fortune. 1t finds him holding
rank in the army. He has entered
almost every branch of trade and
business and has been recognized as
the superior workman in many in
stances. He has become more thrifty
zen, thereby increasing his value to
his government. When all records
are carefully and impartia,ly exam
ined, even those who are prone to
give the most severe criticism will
have to concede that they, as peo
pie, have done well.
The recognition and honor which

ferred to serve that arm of the SER
vice. AS the Government did not es-
tablish any more Colored Cavalry
Regiments he was disappointed and
was successful in having secured from
the service an honorable discharge.
Mr.. Stanley was we'll known busi-
ness man before leaving Houston,
Texas, his home town where he was
engaged in Real Estate and Insurance
is in Philadelphia, Pa, and was sue
ceeding in building that company a
substantial business in this city
among his race which said the COM
pany was operated by white people.
He states that about that time he was
approached by one of the Representa-
tives of the American Woodmen and
asked what would be the chances to
get him to accept position with the
American Woodmen Insurance Com
pany that is owned, operated and con-
trolled by the race.
After giving the matter careful con-
: sideration ne decided to sever his con-
Rection with the white company and
alccept a position with the American
Woodmen and is now connected with
the office on the Kansas Side as an
assistant to State Supervisor w. G.
Banks of the American Woodmen for
the entire state of Kansas. Mr..
Banks, as well as the company, is
proud to have man that is well ex-
perienced in the insurance business.
Since Mr.. Stanley has been given that
field on the Kansas City, Kans., side,
he has succeeded in making for him
self many friends in that institution,
and The Sun predicts for him high
Iy successful career in the two Kan
sas Citys.

Mr.. j. STANLEY
The Aggressive and Successful Repre-
sentative Of the American
Woodmen.

Mr.. ]. Stanley of 212S Woodland
avenue has forged to the front rank
as a representative of the American
Woodmen in this state. Mr.. Stanley
came to Kansas City about one and
half years ago, his former home be-
ing Houston, Texas, but recently from
Des Moines, Ia, where he spent two
mouths in the Colored Officers Train
ing Camp of which he was recon-
mended by the War Department after
he had so successfully passed the ex-
animation as he had served in the
United States Army prior to the time
of his examination for the Des Moines
camp. Mr. Stanley states that at the
time he entered the training camp he
was Informed that the War Depart

them!" For such treatment is crici-
fixion not of the body but of the soul
Will our dusky heroes sit silently
by in acquiescence or acceptance of
such treatment? Will they continue
to accept alloy in return for the pure
gold which they have always given?
l believe that war with its severe
discipline and hardships will serve to
bring out the real character and cali
Der of our men. They, in the future,
will set the example of initiative,
courage, fortitude and bravery. Out
of the old good-natured, self-satisfied
Negro will be evolved one who will
be capable of finding the solution to
his own problems; he will be relied
upon to defend that which he has ac-
quired through toll, earnest applica-
tion and obstinate endurance. He will
be depended upon to protect that

Members of the American Woodmen
are requested to get their dues into
the office by the first of each month.
They really should be paid the last
day of the month for the incoming
month. Please understand that we
have no collector, so bring your money
to the office, 1912 E. 18th street, or
to the Hall, either the first or the
third Tuesday of each month. It is
perfectly all right to pay a deputy
if you happen to see one. However,
you are expected to look after your
own payments. In view of the fact
that our work has increased to such
an extent that we are unable to do
your part and ours too, we ask you
to kindly abide by the law. Please
read note on your official receipt
which will hereafter be your guide
The American Woodmen has in
creased in this city by leaps and
bounds. We could name a lady who
has put down the Metropolitan and
taken a policy with us instead. Neigh
Dor Frank May, 1906 Tracy, is carrying
a policy with the Metropolitan for $500.
He pays $27.72 per year for nothing
but straight life policy. In the
American Woodmen, for a $50000 pol.
icy, he pays $22,2O per year, has a
sick benefit at the rate of S156.00 per
year, and in case of accident, he will
receive $225.00. Whereas, in the Met
ropolitan, he gets nothing for his
$27.72 but $4,000 at death. So you
can see the contrast between Wood
craft and the Metropolitan. We are
giving our people a better show.

if needs be. He, not as Negro, but
as full American citizen, will rise
up with the strength of Sampson, de-
