"gratuitous and insulting advice to
divorce my wife or resign from office
of supreme chancellor, or the office
of grand chancellor of Louisiana, and
remove to the North or East"
We are very sorry that the SUI
preme chancellor could not under
stand a figure of speech, and con-
sidered US as trying to NEEDLE into
his domestic affairs. This editor
never advised Mr.. Green to divorce
his spouse in our former editorial,
but we did say that "Any man who
is ashamed of his wife should divorce
her, and any man is very poor ex-
cuse who will stand up in public and
speak disrespectfully of his wife or
members of his household"
1t is really pity that the supreme
chancellor could not comprehend this
figure of speech, and flew into a rage
and charged this editor with insult
ing" him by dispensing such "gratuit-
ous' advice. The author of the
Green article, which appeared in this
paper last week, should have told the
supreme chancellor that The In
former editor was Illuminating figura-
lively.
Mr.. Green charged that The In
formers Chicago correspondent
placed his wife in the wrong light in
the news item regarding Mrs. Green's
activity and reported remarks before
the supreme court. Although, not
present when Mrs. Green was sup
posed to have made her insulting
speech" to the good women of Texas
and the South, this editor does know
that lengthy conference was held
at Hotel Trenier, headquarters of
the Texas Pythian-C alanthean dele
CATION, the night the speech was al
legged to have been made by Mrs.
Green; and when the confab adj
journed at an early morning hour, it
was stated that the supreme coun-
selor of the Court of Calanthe had
been in conference with grand chan
cellor and grand counselor of Texas
jurisdiction trying to straighten out
matters as a result of Mrs. Green's
insulting speech at the church yes
terday."
Since there were several of the
Texas Calantheans present at that
meeting, and, since it was also re-
ported that Mrs. F. K. Mcpherson, of
Gainesville, grand worthy counselor
of the Texas order, made heated re-
ply to the speech of Mrs. Green, The
Informer is willing to pass this mat
ter to the other side of the house; ;
and this paper would be glad to hear
from one of our Texas Calantheans
on this matter.

have already referred to more
tolerant conditions on railroad trains
in Louisiana than you have in Texas,
and those conditions were brought
about by a combination of the orders
end societies among the members OF
our race in the State of Louisiana by
petitioning the railroad commission,
and hiring lawyers to represent us
before the railroad commission, and
asking that we be granted what the
laws of the State of Louisiana pro-
vide for us, and that is separate but
equal accommodations for the races.
It was through our organizations that
we secured better accommod atlons on
our railroad trains. 1t is through our
organizations that we hope to secure
better conditions for the members OF
our race in the Southland.
You refer, Mr.. Editor, to the col
ored Pythians of America being too
"cowardly and spineless to hold one
biennial meeting in Texas in 45
years." The colored Pythians OF
America are neither too "cowardly
nor spineless to hold one biennial
meeting in Texas in as years" but
they have too much courage and too
much respect for their women folk,
and too much of desire to promote
Knights of Pythias of North America,
South America, Europe, Asia, Africa
and Australia to jeopardize the well
fare of the members of their uniform
rank department, and to shield their
women folk from humiliations and in
suits of the "jim-crow" street cars.
The colored Pythians of America
have not met in Alabama in As years.
They have not met in Georgia in 45
years, and yet Georgia has the larg-
est membership, and pays the largest
amount of taxes to the supreme lodge
than any grand jurisdiction. The col
ored Pythians of America have not
met in Tennessee in As years. They
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1927-11-05

have not met in South Carolina nor
North Carolina in as years. II any
of our grand jurisdictions should
have reasons to complain of the fail
ure of the supreme lodge to hold one
of its biennial meetings in their
grand jurisdictions, it should be the
grand lodge of Mississippi in which
the supreme lodge has not held one
of its sessions since it was born III
that State in the year 1880. 1t has,
therefore, been AZ years since the
supreme lodge of the Knights OF
Pythias of North America, etc., met
at its birthplace-the grand lodge OF
Mississippi-and yet, Mr.. Editor, the
representatives from the grand lodge
of Mississippi would not invite the
supreme lodge of the Knights OF
Pythias of North America, ETC., to
vote to accept the humiliating con-
ditions of .jim-crow" railroad cars
and "jim-crow" street cars to come
to Mississippi to hold one of its
biennial sessions.
1t is true, Mr.. Editor, that the SUI
preme lodge of the Knights of Pyth-
las of North America, etc., met in
New Orleans in 1898, and your hum
BILE servant was one of the members
who participated in the proceedings
of that supreme lodge session.
We did not have at that time any
"jim-crow" railroad cars, neither any
"jim-crow" street cars. We did not
have at that time any supreme court
composed of the ladies of our race.
We did not have at that time any en-
campment of the uniform rank of the
Knights Of Pythias. We had at that
time only 26 representatives from 13
grand lodges.

Shenandoah, Va, Oct. 28.-Despite
the fact that Page County jury had
acquitted them of charge of moon
shining, E. w. Breeder, D. E. Hen
derson and Reuben Grimsley, of this
city, were indicted by a Federal court
jury in Harrisonburg, and capiases
issued for their arrest. They gave
bail yesterday before United States
commissioner.
The three men were tried at the
last term of court when several pro-
hibition officers, including State and
Federal operatives, charged that they
were seen to set stills in operation
and have them boiling within thirty
minutes. The jury in Page Circuit
Court would not believe that still
could be put in operation in that
length of time, however, and freed
the men when they claimed that an
other who fled owned the stills. The
indictment by the Federal jury is the
first case of this nature in Page
County.

Grand Lodge, X. of P. of Louisiana,
per capita wealth July 1, 1927,

According to the per capita wealth
of the above named grand lodges, we
find that the grand lodge of Louisi-
ana, with per capita wealth of
$3.50, leads all other grand lodges
of our supreme jurisdiction; with the
grand lodge of Alabama with per
capita wealth of $5422, and the
grand lodge of Texas with a per
capita wealth of S41.53, and the
grand lodge of Florida with a per
capita wealth of 1888.
We find according to the above
figures, Mr.. Editor, that the grand
lodge of the Knights of Pythias of
Louisiana leads all other grand lodges
in the supreme jurisdiction in the
matter of per capita wealth, with Ala
bama second, Texas third, and Flori-
da fourth.
Of course, Mr.. Editor, the grand
lodge of the Knights of Pythias of
Louisiana has been wealthy so long
until it has ceased. to be novelty
with US, and we have slong since
ceased boasting about it. e..
! / also note the following in your
editorial:
Furthermore, it seems that
some of the national >Pythian
leaders are somewhat sore and
peeved with the Texas grand
chancellor, because Mr.. Willis
would not consent to bankrupt
the Texas Pythian organization
in order to provide funds for the
completion of the national temple
now under course of construc-
ton at Chicago, but which has
met financial snag, and which
appears 70 be a bad business
venture"
Since the grand lodge of Texas has
net assets of $747,702.06, and since
You boast, Mr.. Editor, that the grand
lodge of Texas is million dollar
organization, it would seem that the
grand lodge of Texas could assist
in financing the national Pythian
Temple without the grand chancellor
bankrupting the grand lodge of
Texas!
The grand jurisdiction of Louisi-
ana does not claim to have as large
an amount of net assets as the grand
lodge of Texas, yet the grand juris-
diction of Louisiana has purchased
Pythian Temple bonds in the nation
al Pythian Temple in the sum of
1929, 164.33, and $2O,50O worth of
bonds in the Pythian bath house and
sanitarium at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
and yet, Mr.. Editor, the grand juris-
diction of Louisiana is far from be-
ing bankrupt and is able to meet its
obligations, and to pay off all of its
death claims within thirty days from
the date of filing claims. The grand
lodge of Texas has purchased bonds
in the Pythian bath house and sani-
tarium in the sum of $27, 900, but has
not purchased a single bond in the
national Pythian Temple with all of
it's admitted assets.
| shall decline, Mr.. Editor, without
thanks, your gratuitous and insulting
advice to divorce my wife or resign
from office of supreme chancellor, or
