THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society state house 2 VOLUME II. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN. Resolutions Adopted at Boston Meeting. Local Organization Urged and Better Business Methods Needed. MAKE PLACE FOR NEGRO The colored business men of Kansas—and there are a large number of them—should carefully consider the work of the national meeting; held in Boston last August. There is enough among our people and not enough along specific lines. There should be a pride among our people inducing them to do all in their power to promote the success of every Negro embarking in any line of business from vending peanuts and popcorn to handling commercial paper. Business men of our race should organize and see to it that the best business methods are adopted and their various wares are brought before the people. The national organization is calling on our business men in all states to organize. Kansas has only one real, live business men's club, and that is in Kansas City, Kansas. There should be clubs in every city. The following resolutions and recommendations were adopted by the National Negro Business league at its first meeting held in Boston, August 23 and 24, 1900. The widely representative character of the delegates to this convention, including nearly every state in the union, the marked interest shown in this, the first national gathering of Negro business men assembled in Boston, last August have demonstrated the necessity for and the great advantages to be derived from the formation of a national organization of Negro business men to more successfully carry out the purposes of this meeting Firmly impressed with the apparent need of such an organization, your committee respectfully recommends as follows:— Resolved, That this convention enter into a permanent organization as a national association, and that the officers of this convention, namely: President, Booker T. Washington of Alabama; vice president, Giles B. Jackson of Virginia; vice president, Mrs. Alberta Moore Smith of Illinois; treasurer, Gilbert C. Harris of Massachusetts; secretary, Edward E. Cooper of District of Columbia; compiler, E. A Johnson of North Carolina; the executive committee: T. Thomas Fortune of New York, chairman; Bishop Alexander Walters of New Jersey; Cyrus Field Adams of Illinois; W. A. Pledger of Georgia; J. R. A. Crossland of Missouri; H. C. Smith of Ohio; F. L. McGhee of Minnesota; Ernest Lyon of Maryland; A. L. Manly of District of Columbia; be declared the officers of the National Business league as hereinafter named. Resolved, That the following rules and regulations are hereby adopted for the government of the same:— 1. The name of this organization shall be known as the National Negro Business league. 2. Its object is to inform as best we may the world of the progress the Negro is making in business in every part of the country, and to stimulate local business enterprises through its annual meetings and in any other manner deemed wise, to encourage the organization of local business for the purpose of furthering commercial growth in all places where such organizations are deemed needful and wise. 3. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprise is entitled to membership under such regulations as may be adopted. 4. The officers of this organization shall be a president, vice president, secretary, compiler, treasurer, and an executive committee composed of nine (9), who shall be elected annually, and shall include the president, secretary and treasurer. 5. This organization shall hold its meetings annually at such time and place as the executive committee may select. 6. All resolutions shall be referred to the executive committee before being debated in open session. The National Negro business league in session at Boston recommends:— 1. That our people form local business leagues in all the towns and cities of the country where the race is strong enough in numbers, and such organizations will best promote the interest of the race. 2. That these local leagues send delegates as far as possible to the national organization, and keep in close touch during the year with the officers of the national organization. 3. That these local organizations hold meetings monthly as far as practical. 4. That we strongly urge that everything possible done in these local organizations to discourage complicated and useless parliamentary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical discussions be avoided, as far as possible, with a view of concentrating time and strength on the real object of the organization. Respectfully submitted. Giles B. Jackson W. R. Pettiford M. M. Lewey Daniel Lucas William L. Reed Committee on regulations and rules. J. B. Betts for Representative. The republicans of the 38th district, comprising the First and Second wards Oakland and Teumseh townhships, have nominated J. B. Betts, the present councilman from the First ward to fill the place made vacant by the death of Hon. Harry Safford. Mr. Betts has made a good record in the council, and his knowledge of the needs of our city will qualify him to take care of our city in the coming session. It is important that the republicans should elect the successor to Mr. Safford, and every voter is urged to take an interest in the election of representative. Even should you be ambitious that your children should enter the profession, it does them no harm to have the knowledge of a good trade. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1900.

WM. R. CARTER WILL DO THE GOOD WORK AMONG ALL CLASSES: J. B. H.

Womanly virtues and accomplishments were not allowed to the mothers of these slaves. this character have in Kansas. A feeward Stephens came laid the foundation the "Topeka Indust colored youths"—a educational school education of Negro The primary object to give to our boys THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM INDUSTRIAL HOSPITAL Nearly forty years of freedom has not been wasted. Much good has been accomplished. The evil tendencies, due to ignorance and vice, are being supplemented and checked, by the influence of an intelligence and education. The education of the Negro has from the start been one of the serious problem which the people of America, have called upon to deal. The proper solution of that problem has been left to the mind of a Negro who thoroughly education and every day p writing, a with it, to to and system. The student and nobil industrial so correlate for the without the Topeka ed for ed AN AFRO-AMERICA understood the peculiarities of $ h^{3} $ people; who knew the needs of the masses; and to one who could catch the wondering minds of the race, and by the exercise of his own mastering genius, compel them irresistibly to follow the right path. Booker Washington, a child of adversity, early saw the necessity of training the recently emancipated Negro to respect labor, and to seek to become a skilled mechanic, a capable industrialist. His school at Tuskegee, Alabama, has accomplished wonders among our people in the Black Belt. But the instrumentality of his school crime has been lessened and individual wealth has increased. The theory of the industrial school system is to educate the hand, the heart, and the mind Industrial educational institutions are therefore no new creation. They have been thoroughly tested and the results to our people have been extremely satisfactory and gratifying During the past five years schools of 10 this character have been established in Kansas. A few years ago Edward Stephens came to Topeka and laid the foundation of what is now the "Topeka Industrial Institute for colored youths"—a non sectarian, coeducational school for the practical education of Negro boys and girls. The primary object of this school is to give to our boys and girls such an INDUSTRIA education as is required to meet the every day problems. To teach reading, writing, arithmetic etc., and along with it, to give the pupil thorough and systematic training in some trade. The students are taught the dignity and nobility of honest labor. The industrial and literary trainings are so correlated that it will not be possible for the students to obtain the one without the other. Topeka is exceptionally well adapted for educational purposes. The AN GIRL IN EURO capital of the state, one finds here the finest and best equipped public libraries, and art galleries, supplemented by whole-ome christian surroundings, and a liberal public sentiment. The Industrial Institute, opened originally down town in a dilapidated old building, has been moved to larger and commodious buildings, in the southern part of the city. There are now two large buildings in Christman hall and Industrial hall. Chrisman hall takes its name from the lamented Mrs. Eliza Chrisman who donated so liberally from her means to the foundation of this school. It is the largest building and contains, the Assembly room, principal's office, kitchen, laundry, dining room, recitation rooms, sewing room, teachers dormitories, parlor and library. Dormitories for students are provided for in the wing adjoining Chrisman hall. Industrial hall, as its name indicates is the building set apart for the trades. Here will be found the departments of carpentry, painting, tailoring, shoe making, and printing. Attached to this is a well appointed barn and hennery. In its aims this school appeals strongly to our people. It provides that all pupils shall have a good English education. A thorough and systematized normal course of four years has been provided. There are many schools where our boys and girls can obtain a literary education, but schools in which the trades are taught in addition, are very few especially in the West. This year the girls will be given instructions in cooking, laundrying, plain sewing, dress making. The boys will be taught carpentry, printing, painting, paper hanging, book binding, tailoring and shoe making. These are things which our boys and girls should know. In this school they have an opportunity to acquire these trades in a way that does not interfere with their common school education. While it is distinctly and primarily a normal and industrial institute, the religious side of the work is not neglected or slighted Each pupil is required to regularly attend all religious exercises. It is the purpose of the management to make this school a real fountain of christianity, where young men and women are brought nearer to Christ, and influenced to nobler living and higher ideals. This school is incorporated under the laws of the state of Kansas, and is governed by a board of directors composed of Joab Mulvane president; J. B. Larimer vice president; Robert Stone secretary; John M. Wright treasurer; Mrs. R. J. Buckner, and Hon. E. D. McKeever. The principal, William R. Carter is a graduate of The Tuskegee Industrial school of Tuskegee Ala., and comes highly recommended by Mr. Booker T. Washington. Mr. Carter is a very modest and an unassuming, christian gentleman, who is devoted to this work. His associates are self-sacrificing workers and are competent to handle the work of their departments. Mr. J. L. Buckner in charge of carpentry and painting: Mrs. Sadie McLain matron, in charge of cooking and laundry: Miss Lou Harris dress making: Miss Nellie Hicks vocal and piano. Prof. Geo. W. Jackson orass and string instruments; Miss Susie Pace stenography and typewriting, are all well and favorably known citizens of Topeka. Students expenses are reasonable. Board and tuition, with furnished rooms $7.50 per month; all worthy students will be allowed an opportunity to work out a part of their expenses. Special normal course and industrial work is $1.00 each or $1.50 for both per month to students not boarding at the school. The work of the Mothers league, which has been organized, in connection with the Industrial school, is highly commendable. This work is directed by Mrs. S. R. McLean, presi-Continued on 27th column. When one remembers that the greater part of Holland lies some feet below the level of the sea, it will be readily seen that dykes are an important feature; some of the dykes are built of masonry. Many are broad at the top, and being paved, form good carriage roads. The dunes along the coast serve also as a barrier against the ocean. It must be remembered that the Dutch people have not only to fight against the inroads of salt water but they have also to deal with many rivers, which, taking their rise in other countries, choose Holland for their final exit into the sea. Consequently, when there are heavy rains the rivers bring down an immense volume of water to add to the troublesome superfluity already enjoyed by Holland. One can easily see the necessity of so many windmills. Many of them, however, are used in grinding corn, etc., but most are employed in draining. One may come across one in the heart of a busy town, as in Rotterdam, for instance; in the village of Laandam there are no less than four hundred. Small wonder then that Holland and windmills are almost synonymous. There are canals almost everywhere in Holland; they drain the country; serve as roads, and as hedges, dividing field from field and house from house. The "trekschuiten" or barges which navigate these canals have been called the gondolas of Holland. The railways have replaced the barges as far as passenger traffic is concerned, but now and then this form of travel still survives and it is a pleasant experience to make a journey in one of these old fashioned boats. Of all the seasons, to my mind, spring is the best in which to visit Holland. The green country—and it is very green—at its best, and the weather is pleasant; moreover, the tulips about Haarlem are in their full glory. One's first impression of Holland is that it is very flat, and that there seems to be a deal of water in the landscape, if such an expression may be allowed. As one travels about by train there are plenty of interesting sights to be seen. Sometimes the train slackens speed to cross one of the great bridges built over an arm of the sea or river, and a good view is obtained from either window of the carriage. Here and there along the line are little signal stations, from which a signal man (who, by the way, is frequently a woman,) solemnly waves a flag as the train passes. Numerous cattle, most of them covered with blankets, are to be seen in fields; here is a dyke plated with rows of trees, and here is a row of women working, some of them wearing——, which seem much out place to the unaccustomed eye. Storks, which are treated with great respect, may be seen here and there; and the house that a stork selects for a dwelling place is considered lucky, and special facilities to enable it to build its nest there are provided by the happy inhabitants in such a case. At the various stations may be seen the peasants in all their glory, the women dressed in quaint costumes and wearing wonderful head-dresses. The gold or silver helmet (hoofdizer), covering the head like a second skull, is particularly to be noticed. These are handed down as heirlooms from one generation to another, and are greatly valued. Not content with the helmet, many of the "vrouen" wear on each side of their foreheads large ornaments of gold, which look like exaggerated corkscrews or like miniature shutters. Often these ornaments cover the forehead, and are set with diamonds and other precious stones. Sometimes they spoil the whole effect by piling an elaborate bonnet with ostrich feathers and other trimmings on the top of every thing else. The visitor who finds himself in a Dutch town for the first time will be impressed by the cleanliness and neatness everywhere, and will be interested in the innumerable canals, and in the long rows of narrow-gabled houses painted in various colors. Projecting from the gables are cranes or small beams, which are used for hoisting up heavy articles to the top stories, and fixed to the outside of the windows of NUMBER 51. many houses are little square mirrors, by means of which those inside can see what is taking place in the street without being seen themselves. In the morning there are many neat, busy Dutch maid servants beating carpets, washing steps, and performing other domestic duties in the streets, for most of the houses in the large cities have little, if any, back yard. There are some curious people to be met with as one walks along. The solemn individual dressed in black and wearing a cocked hat and long veil streaming, the "Aansprekee," whose duty it is to announce a death to the friends of the deceased, has almost become a thing of the past but may occasionally be seen. The Dutch policeman wears a simple uniform, and is generally a civil, easy-gong individual. Cafes and tobaccoists' shops are anything but few and far between; cigars are cheap, and every male, including many of a very tender age, seems to smoke. Over the druggists' shops is a painted Turk's head, which is called a "Gaper." The "kermis" or fair is held in various Dutch towns at different times of the year. Prior to the Reformatory it was a religious festival, now it is extremely secular. On such occasions the servants are in their glory, and everybody holds high festival. There are numerous booths, traveling theaters and other amusements. Everyone dons his best clothes and many "hollands" and "broedertyes" (gingerbread) are consumed. It is always a very animated, not to say noisy, scene, and one which is interesting to see. A good deal of tipping in a small way has to be done in Holland, and the fact must be faced at the outset. A tip smooths one's way wonderfully. Coutinued from 5th column. dent; Mrs. A. P. Smith, vice president; Mrs. W. W. Fisher, secretary; Mrs. D. F. Mallory, treasurer; and about forty of the women of families. Much is expected from the league in the way of bringing about improvements in our home, and the promotion of the comfort of the children. As an evidence of the deep interest, Mr. Carter has in the welfare of the race, especially among the children, he has secured a promise from the Kindergarten association that they will open a kindergarten at the institute after the holidays. This should be received with pleasure by all classes. It is a real pleasure for us to note these improvements in the school and urge upon our people the importance of sending their children. The Industrial institute is a school of great possibilities for our people. The attendance has been greater than ever and it should still be increased. A movement is now on foot to purchase a tract of land near the city for the purpose of giving practical instruction in agriculture. May the school prosper. This school must be maintained. In 1899, the legislature appropriated $1500 per annum for the school. In its then incipient stage, this amount was found to be greatly inadequate to meet the financial needs of this school. Now that the work there has trebled it will require much more. To meet the bulk of expenses, the school depends upon the munificent of those who are philanthropically inclined. The greatly increased attendance, and magnificent interest in the school this year, has very much encouraged the directors and friends of the school, and they will certainly feel justified in asking this year for a much larger appropriation thereby enabling them to do a greater good. Kansas raised more wheat this year than any other western state. As a result the tide of emigration that has so long set against the state has changed and the sale of farm lands in Kansas during the last few months has been markable when one consi that the boom busted year Now is the time to get chance. --- Published at Topeka, Kansas, Shawnee county, very Friday morning by The Plaindealer Pub- shing company, 114 E.

We have omitted our weekly installment of "Up From Slavery" by Booker T. Washington, to make room for our "Afro-American Girl in Europe." This class of matter in paper published in the interest of the Negro is a new venture, and the Plain-dealer does not care to crowd too much on our readers. However we believe that the Negroes of this country have arrived at that stage in their intellectual development when they demand something more than a mere chronicle of the comings and goings of Mr. or Mrs. so-and-so. Believing in this proposition, we are trying to bring our paper up to the standard demanded by our people. The excerpts, we shall publish from time to time, are from a series of articles appearing in the Outlook one of the best magazines published, and our reproduction is directly by the permission of the publishers. There is so much, in this series of papers that every aspiring boy and girl should know and read, that we take much pride in this Mr. Washington presents the story of his life with a charming frankness and simplicity that robs the sharp criticism of the races foibles of their sting. In this he stands out alone from the great majority of Negro leaders. He seeks to remedy the condition of the Negro by teaching the Negro, by precept and example, that there is a mote in his eye to be removed. That there are some things he must do for himself. That a mere education of the head will not solve the problem. In this series of articles, he traces very clearly, and distinctly, the influence of that kind of education that brings the heart, the hand, and the head upward together. In our series of "European Experiences" by Miss Cora C. Cole of Detroit, Michigan, we are introducing this very talented young lady in a new role. As a contralto singer Miss Cole has won deserved mention. She has had the honor of being received at court in foreign lands. She has learned much through this channel. Many of our people have but an imperfect idea of the sentiment of Europeans towards the Negro. In this series of papers Miss Cole will give her impressions. The Plaindealer always seeks T. to give to its many readers the joyed, very best class of reading. We who oo believe that there is no greater Mechanic themselves in the race today than our day, and at papers. They are deserving command of D. Brookens, theore consideration in the sonable distance patronage; the race is and cheered the best look to the many hundred Negro editors to take up the "white man's burden" and labor to create a public sentiment favorable to the race. To do this the race papers must have the hearty and united support of all classes of Negroes. If there is anything at all in lynch law and mob violence, there have been enough poor Negroes lynched, mobbed, flayed alive, burned at the stake and their bones stolen as relics, during this glorious nineteenth century, that no Negro will dare dream of a crime in the coming twentieth century so potent for civilization. Don't think if this. The lengthening shadows of the nineteenth century covers crime, that in the great judgment day that the Anglo-Saxon's talk about, will rise up to dam, and don't you forget it. Bishop Shaffer. Topeka is to have the Episcopal residence of the A. M. E. church for the next four years. Bishop Shaffer is now in the city and will make this his future home. The Topeka people extend to him a cordial welcome. The presence of such a distinguished citizen adds to the improvement of our social and intellectual life. A reception was tendered the bishop at the St. John A. M. E. church. While the bishop is here it is to be hoped that the members and friends of the church will exert themselves to raise the money to discharge the remaining indebtedness of the church.

Every family should have the Plaindealer SOME SHORT STORIES Will be published this winter. thousands of Negroes who bore burden of slavery an passing rapidly away another decade will find them ATREST.

We have also secured for our coming issues an article on "Washington Society," by a Kansas boy who has seen much of it. Our interesting papers on the ISDUSTRIAL AWAKENING, will include a contribution from F. D Coburn, secretary of the Board of Agriculture of Kansas, on "The Negro Farmer in Kansas."

A very enjoyable occasion was last Tuesday evening at the Masonic hall, where Edward Thompson of Wellington entertained a good audience by reading and impersonating. The crowd was a little late gathering, but after all the program was successfully rendered. Mrs. Thornton Johnson assisted in the musical part of the program. At the close of the exercises refreshments were served, of which all partook freely. As a rule there is a tough element that predominates on such occasions. In this particular instance Rhoda Neelev, (better known as Thomas) urged his consort. Tallow Owens, to take advantage of a few personating jokes that were cast by starting a contention. He interrupted and should have been removed by a proper officer. The jokes were perfectly in place and obviously, the parties came for no other purpose than to start something. SALINA. The S. A club met on Thanksgiving evening at the home of Mrs. R. B De Priest on S. Eleventh. An excellent address by the president was listened to with much interest and was highly appreciated.
