Published at Topeka, Shawnee county, Ka, every Friday morning by the Plandealer Publishing Co., 114 E 71st st. FRIDAY, OCT. 18 1901 ANARCHY AND THE NIGRO'S OPPORTUNITY. Elsewhere in this paper will be found Editor Chase's editorial on the "race problem" and anarchy, taken from the last Sunday's issue of the Topika Daily Capital. A long acquaintance with Editor Chase and acknowledge of his views on the race problem takes the edge from what would otherwise be a sharp criticism. Sometime ago, in discussing this phase of the socalled race problem, we took occasion to remark that the white man's position assumed towards the race, was due largely to ignorance of the actual progress and work of the Negro. And there is nothing in the Capital's views to change our opinion, rather there is much to confirm and strengthen it. Somewhere we have heard it said that an explanation was an apology. But in a matter of this nature, explanations are in order, and can hardly be construed as an apology. The sum and substance of Editor Chase's views is that Negroes are guilty of heinous offenses against white women, and no Negro society, club, religious association or organization has condemned the awful crime for which Negroes are burned, flayed, lynched and their bones tucked away in secret places as sacred roles of a crime that finds no justification in Christian ethics. Another conclusion is that the outrageous mobbing and burning of Negroes for supposed crimes has caused this "recurring desecence of this barbaric" practice. The latter conclusion is a reflection on the lasting effects of Christian civilization and admits it to be a thin veneer beneath which pagan savagery exists in all its pristine vigor. The Plumbobar will not presume to question the truth of this reference. The white man's civilization in America, stands for itself. The American Negro, his habits, tests, desires, ambitions, etc., is a product of the same civilization. If he reins, still, some of the instincts and practices peculiar to barbarians, after the two hundred and fifty years of American slavery with its enforced immoralities, and the forty years of quass-freedom, no one, the Negro least of all, should be blamed if he absorbed some of the elements of American civilization that has nurtured him. In the great problem of making citizens for a republic, the Negro is not included. Isolated in his social and religious life, enjoying a back door acquaintance with the political life of the nation, the Negro is to congratulated, that in less than forty years he has made preceptable advancement. In all these forty years, the same patient effort has characterized the Negro, as during the darkest hours of slavery. He has been making character, The Negro has been and is laying a foundation for future racial development. The charge made by the Capital that the Negroes in any assembly since the awful Leavenworth crime, have failed to condemn the crime charged against Fred Alexander is false, and absolutely without foundation. In every Negro church, lodge, club, and society this crime, along with all others, have been condemned, but the Negroes of Kansas do not believe that a man charged with a crime is always guilty. They do not believe Fred Alexander guilty. They believe that the burning of Alexander was murder-yes, anarchy as rest-hundred as the miserable culprit who shot down our lamented President, William McKinley. The Negro is not an anarchist. His hand has never been against the law. His prayer since the day the martyred Lincoln gave him freedom has been for the perpetuation of law and order. On the other hand, he has been the outraged victim of anarchy. The history of the Negro is a protest against anarchy and the American mob. Editor Chase places much stress on the golden opportunity the best class of Negroes have to rise up in their might and rebuke the criminal Negro. All efforts on the part of the best class of Negroes to control and regenerate the tough elements of the race is neutralized by the peculiar position of the American white man. The work of the best class of Negroes, their social, moral and financial improvement passes the cagle eye of the reporter of the white paper, white ex- --- ...A GRAND SPECIAL SALE...

The white papers have never told the world that Albert Hall, a highly respected Negro mechanic, put in place the intricate machinery of the American Steam Laundry of this city. Nor do they tell the world that white men prejudice against a black skin keeps Negro boys out of machine shops, where they might learn a trade and at the same time find employment. Mr. Chase should have reminded the intelligent and wealthy best class of white people that there is mockery in their hugging the phantom of religion and barring Negroes from such places as Young Men and Women's Christian associations. In the face of the black wall of American prejudice, the Negro meeting with continued opposition at every turn, it is surprising that more helmous crimes have not been charged to him. The Plaindealer asks the Capital to carefully investigate the best class of Negroes. If one was to believe the terrible reports of the white papers of the state of Georgia, the statements made by Mr. Du Bois in a recent article in this paper, that the Negroes of Georgia had accumulated over fourteen million dollars worth of real property, equal to $12 per capita, would not be credited. This is true the country over. The Negro criminal forms but a small part of the Negro population. We advise Mr. Chase to carefully investigate and see if we are not correct.

The Embalming and Casket Co., located at 1014 West 5th street, Kansas City, Kas., controlled and owned by Negroes, is doing business up to date. Mr, H. P. Ewing, of Going, Kansas, one of the largest potato growers in the West, is manager. If the colored people of the two cities will take their business to this institution it would not be long before this organization could be making their own caskets, as well as furniture. Let the people rally to this new enterprise of their own race and make them stronger in the faith. Mr. J. C. Groves, of Edwardsville, bought an additional sixteen shares last week, to be largely interested in it. Success to them saith THE PLAINDEALER. Don't imagine that all hair preparations are alike. Quite the contrary. Some never do what is claimed for them. The Original Ozonized Ox Marrow has been on the market for so long that there is no doubt it will do every thing we claim for it. It is the most genteel preparation that any one can use on the hair. It is most delicately perfumed and when thoroughly rubbed into the scalp and well brushed through the hair it cannot fail to cure dandruff and make the hair soft, straight and beautiful. It invigorates the scalp, producing new growth and stops the hair from falling out. Try a bottle and you will be sure to be pleased. Only 50 cents, express paid to any address in the U. S. Druggists also sell it. Address, Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Illinois. The benefit concert given Prof. Geo, W. Jackson at the Auditorium, Tuesday night, by the Twenty-third Kansas band and principal musicians of Topeka, so far as music is concerned, was most certainly a grand success. Every one of the twelve selections was all that could be expected—superb, fine, and reflecting great credit upon those who participated in the entertainment. All that is to be regretted is the lack of attendtnce. It is a disgrace to the 8,000 Negroes of Topeka not to do more than they did to encourage this organization which is a credit to the city and state. Prof. Jackson has labored many years to build up a creditable organization for himself and people for which he has practically received nothing. Had it been some "Jim Crow" minstrel—"aping" some poor old ignorant man who had been a slave all his early life—the house would no doubt have been filled to its utmost capacity. The Negro must learn to keep his money at home, and patronize things that will tend to build up and strengthen the race in his immediate community, Industrial Institute Notes Prof. Carter and his bride returned last Thursday, and in the evening were unexpectedly but joyfully received with serenade by the Institute brass band. A debate will occur at the literary Saturday evening: "Resolved that a man does right more from fear of punishment than for hope of reward," between Profs. M. W. Freeman and Albert Ross; the South vs. the West. Prof. S. G. Watkins will address the praise services at the Institute next Sunday afternoon. The Industrial Institute received the indorsement of the Baptist State convention which convened in Atchison last week. The Musical and Literary program to be rendered at the Institute, Oct. 30 promises to be quite an event in the circles of the Institute. City talent will predominate and a first-class entertainment is assured. Prof. Carter and wife spent Saturday in Atchison at the Baptist State convention. J. H. Guy, one of our leading local attorneys spoke to the meeting last Sunday afternoon upon "Obedience" and gave the students some good advice and instruction. We have room for a few more boarding students. Parents desiring to have their children receive this double training—literary and industrial, will do well to correspond with us. SHILOH JOTTINGS.

The Twentieth Session of the Mo.' and Kansas Annual Conference of the C. M. E. Church in America, was held last week, in St. Joseph, Mo. Bishop Isaac Lane, of Jackson, Tenn., presided. The conference is said to have been one of the most profitable and harmonious sessions ever held in the history of the church in this part of the country. Marked developments were BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out.
