being said now as to who would be
a good man to succeed Dr. E. C Mor
ris, and I have but one name to offer
for that place and that is the name of
Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of the
Olivet Baptist church, and I am sure
that he is the man that should be the
next president, and he will carry
out the work, and see to it that Dr. A.
M. Townsend is supported in the re
election of the Publishing House for
the Sunday School Board of the Na
tional Baptist convention, and I will
join in the chorus.
Since I wrote you that other letter,
I got myself together, stopped over
in Colorado Springs, where Bishop
H. B. Parks, D.D., was holding a
conference, and exchanged a few
words with him, and then made it on
to Denver whre I was the guest of
the Rev. Dr. W. H. Thomas, pastor
of the Shorter Chapel A.M.E. church,
the largest church in the city of Den
ver now. There was a time that Zion
was some pumpkins, but it is down
at the heels now, and we are turning
attention to the other churches. They
have had a'heluva time in Zion, and
many of the members have left The
pastor declares that he is going to
remain if he is the only member and
he will 'have to pay his own salary.
You know something about Denver
in fact you know more than I can
tell you, and I am not going to try,
but I remained in the city only one
night, and then off to another part
of the country. I got me a bed car
from Denver to Williams, Arizona,
where I had to change to go to Grand
Canyon, and if. you have never been
there I would recommend that you go
and see for yourself. It is reached
by the Santa Fe and a place absolute
ly free from prejudice, where a man
is a man, and his accommodation is
backed by his dollars and not by his
color. There are two hotels, and they
are open to the public, medium and
first-class. One of them you can get
a room as cheap as $1.50, and the
other runs from $6 up including
meals. I stopped at one of the hotels.
and as to which one I am not going
to tell you, for you may have some
thing to say about it, and since it was
my pocketbook's business, you must
keep out of it
Would you like to have me tell you
what this thing is? I couldn't if I
tried, but I will just say it is won
derfuL You stand on the top of a
mountain and look down for one mile,
rocks of various colors, and it is just
13 miles across, and there forms the
bed of the Colorado river. Thousands
of people go to see this wonderful
piece of work, done by nature, and
as you stand and look and look you
are compelled to say, "God is great"
You will see God working in nature,
and a wonderful piece of work at that
Then off to Los Angeles, where I
found the people all stirred up over
the National Baptist convention.
They had gone to great expense get
ting ready for the visitors and they
are not feeling good over their dis
appointment, and I don't blame them,
for they are still looking, and the
meeting is going to another place, but
we all hope that it will come ont here
in 1923. I am in for that with my all
and all and will vote that way. We
owe it to the people of Cal
ifornia to come out here and let
them see us, and we see them. While
in the city I was the guest of Rev.
Mr. Eldeidge, and I saw some other
friends in the city. But here I am,
way down here this week.
I left Los Angeles, for this place.
and had to wait for a train carriage
that was four hours late, and got to
town four hours late, but found Rev.
Dr. D. J. Crawford, waiting at the
stable with his wife and automobile-
car carriage to tote me to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. E. W- Winters, the
cream of Bakersfield, If you recall, I
told yon something about Mrs. Pearl
Lowrey Winters in another letter; and
now I win tell yoa just a little more
abont her and" something about her
husband, who is rated among the men
of worth and-wealth in this city. He
has made his way. He started from
Nowhere and has gone to Somewhere.
It will not surprise you when I tell
you that Mr. Winters came into this
world via North Carolina, for this
state has prdduced some great men
and women of my race, saying noth
ing about yours and in this class be
longs this young man. He is a fur
niture dealer, and then he owns a
whole block right in the business
heart of Bakersfield, and is still build
ing. He has a keen business eye, and
it is due to the fact that he is a trained
man from home and then in the school
room.
Mrs. Winters is a worker in Cal
ifornia, and she is getting into the
hearts of the people of the country
by servirc She has a voice that will
just go right to your hearts, and be
fore you realize it you are shouting
or crying. I wish you could just sec
her for yourself and then you would
know what I am talking about
I am going from here to San Fran
cisco, and then to Los Angeles.
Phoenix, Arizona, and Albuquerque,
New Mexico, and next will land me
in Kansas City. I am going some,
and all this is because I have some
friends, who made this trip possible,
and they say if necessary I should
remain longer, and they will see that
I live. In this number are C C.
Spaulding. of Durham; J. M. Avery.
of Durham; Dr. George C Hall, of
Chicago; Mr. and .Mrs. A. M. Malone.
St. Louis, Mo.; Supreme Chancellor
5. W. Green, of New Orleans, La.;
Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson,
M.D., of Kansas City, Kansas, and I
could mention others, whose nimn
I do not recall. I have many friends
in this world.
"uu pcupic nao. prepared just
like me, to come to the convention
and they are out here now, and still
others are coming. They had put
aside the time and the money and
now they are using them to see the
country.
Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, cor
responding secretary, and president of
the National Training School for
girls and women. Washineton. D. CL
had prepared a wonderful report and
while the convention did not meet
she had some few things to say, and
as the report was printed she is send
ing to those who will send her the
price of printing. In speaking of
"Unrest," she says:
"The unrest among Nettroes is a
resentment of conditions under which
we are compelled to live, labor and
travel The unrest is expressed bv
the exodus from certain sections and
in the old complaints against filthy
Jim Crow cars and the treatment re
ceived at the hands of insolent, un
couth railroad emDloves. On'r nncAl
in a while do we find decent coaches
on the roads in the south. The
stenehy, half- and quarter-length
boxes next to the haggage cars are
used for Negro passengers on nearly
all of the roads. There will be no
contentment and little faith in the in
terracial Movement unless Negroes
are given clean waitintr rooms, full
length coaches and courteous treat
ment Patting a few Negroes on the
back, putting a. few others on pay
rolls, and talking brotherly love, is
a brand of conscience salve that ag
gravates rather than helps the case.
"Think of Negroes traveling from
Washington to Key West, Fla., or to
Galveston, Texas, without being able
to get a meal on a diner. When they
are allowed to go in, they are em
barrassed and humiliated by that in
famous Last Call arrangement Think
of being forced to sit up all night
when we are a' le to pay for reserva
tions. Do not overlook the fact that
the Negroes who ride in sleeping cars
and take their meals in dining cars
are as cultured and as clean and as
well dressed as the white people who
are privileged to enjoy such comforts
and conveniences.
"Hundreds of Negro leaders of ed
ucation, culture and means are com
pelled to travel year in and year out
Many of them are the representatives
of Social Welfare and Good Will
Movements. .They are killing them
selves by riding in Jim Crow cars
night and day, going without meals,
suffering all lands of hardships, and
standing all kinds of humiliation for
the sake of the cause. The first step
toward a better feeling is toward hu
mane treatment"
Miss Burroughs, addresses herself
to the, common sense members of the
National Baptist convention, asking
them to consider the advisability of
holding the convention biennially in
stead of annually and she makes a
strong argument which, if considered,
would save money enough in two
years to pay for the publishing plant
