THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Rev. G. D. Olden's Method of Elevating the Negro is Worthy of Emulation by all. Rev. G. G. Olden, Pastor of the First African Baptist church, is doing great work among the colored people of Topeka. He came to this city eight years ago and has succeeded in paying off an old mortgage of several thousand dollars, sold the old church and is erecting one which when compiled will cost several thousand dollars. He has established the Capital Hand Laundry at 111 East Third street, valued at $3,000, which was opened for business about two years ago. He employs ten people who are almost all members of his congregation. when Monday comes he cannot point to a single place where a position might be obtained, that a colored man controls or that he has influence with. Let them get to business of their own, make employment for their congregation, so it can support them. This enterprise in Topeka, the manner in which it is conducted, will be a monument of success for future ministers in this and other states. Let the good work go on The Topeka Daily Capital of last Sunday gives the following summary of the result of Rev. Olden's pastorate labors: Elevating the Race Rev. G. G. Olden, Pastor of the when First African Baptist church, is doing great work among the colored people of Topeka. He came to this city eight years ago and has succeeded in paying off an old mortgage of several thousand dollars, sold the old church and is erecting one which when compiled will cost several thousand dollars. He has established the Capital Hand Laundry at 111 East Third street, valued at $3,000, which was opened for business about two years ago. He employs ten people who are almost all members of his congregation, labor. They are doing a great work. They are doing a prospectors business, the most of his patronage coming from the white people, and keep two delivery wagons constantly busy. He conceived an idea that something could be done towards building up enterprise among Negroes, and the first thought was to start among the members of his church, Mrs. M. E. Thompson, one of the oldest members of his congregation, who had worked for years in a white laundry and had much experience, was asked to open the enterprise, the Reverend agreeing to manage for her. The project developed so well that he began to add one or two at a time until the concern is now paying good interest on the investment besides furnishing employment for a number of our girls and boys. If the Negro ministers in every city, town and hamlet would just unite in starting enterprises like this they would never regret it. Something must be done to uplift the people. The idea of a man preaching for years to a congregation, and THE DEMOCRATIC CATECHISM. From The New York Sun. To the Editor of the Sun—Sir: I have been considerably amused by reading the comments of several of the leading newspapers of the South relative to the president inviting Booker T. Washington to dine with him. Below is a copy of a short catecism on Negro equality which I cut out of a newspaper thirty six years ago. A perusal of the catechism would seem to indicate that Richard M. Johnson considered a colored woman the equal of a white one. I have never seen the fact of Johnson's marriage disputed. H. H. SPENCER. HOLYoke, MASS. Who said that all men are created equal? Thomas Jefferson, the father of all Democracy. Who gave the Negro the right of suffrage in New York? The Democratic party. Who presided over the convention which gave this privilege to Negroes. Martin Van Buren, a Democrat. Who afterwards elected Martin Van Buren to the Presidency of the United States? The Democratic party. Who married a Negro women and by her had mulatto children. Richard M. Johnson, a good Democrat. Who elected Richard M. Johnson Vice President of the United States? The Democratic party. If President Van Buren had died and Richard M. Johnson had become President who would have become the Democratic mistress of the White House? The same Negro woman. Who made the Negro a citizen of the state of Maine? The Democratic party. Who enacted a similar law in Mas sachusetts? The Democratic party. Who gave the Negro the right te vote in New Hampshire? The Democratic party. Who permitted every colored person owning $250 in New York to become a voter? A General Assembly purely Dem ocratic. Who repealed the laws of Ohio, which required Negroes to give bonds and security before settling in that state? The Democratic party. Who made mulattoes legal voters "The Rev, G D Olden, of the First African Baptist church, corner of Third and Quincy streets, will celebrate the Eighth anniversary of his pastorate today. Mr. Olden has been pastor of this church longer than any of his predecessors by a number of years and is more stongly entrenched in the confidence of his church members than ever. He has accomplished some important things for his church and community, notably by his crusade against Smoky Row, which is no longer a scandal to the city. When Mr Olden became pastor of his present church it had a debt of between $5,000 and $6,000. It has since erected a church building and its total indebtedness is said to be between $600 and $700. It has about 350 church members. Mr. Olden has established, together with a dozen members of his church, a laudry, partly co operative, and a co-operative auxiliary to one of the local building and loan associations. The church is in a thrifty, prosperous, peacable and growing condition." in Ohio? A Democratic Supreme Court of which Reuben Wood was Chief Justice. What became of Reuben Wood? The Democratic party elected him Governor three times and he is still a leader of the Democratie party. Who helped to give free Negroes the right to vote in Tennessee under the Constitution of 1795? General Jackson. Was General Jackson a good Democrat? He generally passed as such. Who, with the above facts and many others staring them in the face are continually whining about Negro equality and Negro suffrage! The Democratic party. THE WAY OUT. THE PLAINDEALER has just finished printing the Minutes of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M., and The Knights and Daughters of Tabor, and the work will stand the test of comparison with that of the best shops in the country. The manager of this paper returns many thanks to Grand Master S. G. Watkins and Chief Grand Mentor F. G. Wilson for the support they are giving THE PLAINDEALER. The two orders, of which these gentlemen are leading members, are now the two strongest secret orders among the colored people in Kansas. In the matter of race pride they are taking high steps towards its advancement. If all the secret orders in the various states would give their work to their colored printing offices we would then be solving the problem faster; we could learn more people the trade: could employ more of our young girls. Let us be up and a doing. Colored printers should get a hustle on to themselves. Educate the people to bring their work to our offices; learn them to read and pay for their papers. Every colored family should have at least two colored journals in the house. Let heads of other secret orders follow the example of the ones mentioned in this article and all will be well, A KANSAS MAN WINSOUT. There is nothing better for the Negro than knowing his rights; and knowing, daring to maintain them. THE PLAINDEALER has just received particulars of a case in Oklahoma, in which a former colored resident of Lawrence held his own in a school case against late white arrivals from the South, and won through the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 15, 1901 "KVRRENT KOMMENT" Oh how brave we are on paved streets and under the glare of electric lights! Oh, what a shudder we have for escaped convicts and darkness! Perhaps these convicts could do business with the Chief. A Winchester and two 44's make quite a difference! An outraged public is anxiously awaiting the decision in the Parker-Hughes mayoralty contest case now pending before the Supreme Court of Kansas. Let justice be properly administered and thus satisfy the waiting public. Chief Stahl finds it much easier and less dangerous in pulling a joint or drug store than following two escaped convicts with his whole police force. The $60.00 per head has no jurisdiction and will not be accepted as an excuse for not pursuing them. Don't try to dodge behind "jurisdiction" Chief. Let the Negro return thanks that only one hundred more was lynched than last year and a few is spared for the brutes next year. That he is advanced one step higher in civilization—eating with the president of the United States, Democrats filling their positions in the South also on the National Committee. Oh my, how he is being advanced by his friends! MANAGER. Willis H. West is a responsible and well known colored citizen who for a number of years has resided on his farm near Peckham, Okla., and his children have attended school in that place for four years without friction or question. This summer a large, fine school house was built, and about the same time a number of Southerners moved into the district. These seemed to think the school house too fine for Negroes, and the trouble began. Mr. Willis had two daughters attending the school. On the 7th of Oct., one was cut off from school privileges, being reduced to the primary grade, the instructor of which not only refused to teach her but several times dragged her from the room. Determined not to submit to such injustice Mr. Willis applied to the District court to issue a mandamus to the school board and teacher directing them to receive and reinstate the pupil. This, after a hot fight, was granted him, and he was master of the situation. The parties who had been fighting Mr. Willis then submitted to him an option of mixed or separate schools, and he chose the latter. As a result, there is now in Peckham a school for colored pupils, in which a capable colored teacher is employed. "KUR Oh he glare of electric light convicts and darts with the Chief.ference! An out in the Parker-Hill the Supreme Court tered and thus Chief pulling a joint o with his whole jurisdiction and w them. Don't try Let more was lynch brutes next year civilization—eating Democrats filling National Commi friends! Though the number of pupils is but small their right to receive an education has been established. We need more men like Mr. Willis who will quietly but firmly uphold what is not only their own cause but that of their race. If the courts will teach justice often enough it may finally come to us through habit and as a matter of course. KILLED AT BIS POST. Miss Hattie Freeman went to Chicago last week, to attend the funeral of her brother, Mr. John E. Freeman, who was crushed and almost instantly killed in a collision on the Ft. S., M., S. L., & S. F., while in the discharge of his duties on special car No. 101. Mr. Freeman was born in Indianapolis, 42 years ago, and leaves a wife and five children, mother, father, sister and two brothers to mourn his loss. He was employed as President Yocum's cook, and was held in the highest esteem by his employers with whom he had been for the past five years, having previously served more than twenty years with the Santa Fe. His remains were interred in Oak Wood cemetery, Chicago, last Sunday. THE GOOD SAMARITAN'S ACT The fire which destroyed the store of Chiles and Hagan last week, at Twelfth and Washington streets, also destroyed all of the household goods, furniture and clothing of Mr. and Mrs. Green Scales who occupied the rooms over the store. At their meeting on last Friday night the Samaritan lodge, of which Mrs. Scales is a member, donated hert ten dollars in cash from the lodge treasury, besides contributions from individual members Again on Monday evening, quite a number of the officers and members of that lodge together with other citizens and friends met at the home of Mrs. P.C. Thomas and proceeded in a body to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hatcher, where Mr. and Mrs. Scales were staying and presented them some more money and many useful and necessary articles. This is true Samaritanism and Macedonian lodge has shown itself worthy of its name and confidence of the people. SNAP IN GARDEN LANP Do you want to make money? If so write to this office, or to D. Chiles, Oakland, Kansas. He has placed on the market seven fine acre tracts of good garden land and a 20 acre tract one mile east of Oakland, four miles from the P.

Gray's paper on, "Responsibility of the Parent," was a practical one. Then followed Supt. Veach who scored well on the great necessity of the colored child attending school. Mrs. Nellie Smothers rendered an excellent solo and the ladies quar by Madames Lewis, Johnson, Gray and Smothers was very creditably rendered.

"Uncle" Reuben McClelland, age ninety-one, an old soldier of the civil war died at his home on solvan street about three o'clock Friday afternoon of heart failure and old age. Mr. McClelland was an old soldier, and one among the few survivors of the massacre at Fort Pillow. He was also a staunch and faithful member of the St. James Baptist church, at which place his funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Pollett under the auspices of the G. A. R. and was one of the largest gatherings of the kind ever witnessed or held at the church. Mr. McClelland had belonged to the church seventy-five years and was well known here as he had always taken an active part in Republican campaigns speaking by sanctioning aloud the speaker's sentiments. The church was far too small to accommodate those who attended together with the many loyal members of the G. A. R. who were present. He leaves a wife and a host of friends to mourn the loss. The remains were laid to rest in Maplewood cemetery. Miss Willa Merriwether has returned to school after spending a few days at her home in Topeka.

FRIDAY, NOV.15, 1901. Kansas stands at the top of the list as a wheat and corn producing state. Alabama apparently does not want the Negro disfranchised. The vote on the new constitution was light and the majority is small. In 1900 Kansas' wheat crop was valued at $45,368,768. In 1901 the Negroes of Pratt county Kansas raised 33,000 bushels of wheat for which they received $17,490. Pratt county has but a small Negro population. The Afro-American Leader is name of a new paper recently launched in Pittsburg, Kas., by Judge A. J. Lee. It is set up and printed in the office of the Kansan of that place, which means a very short life. We would be pleased to hear of the Judge succeeding, but no man has been able to successfully conduct a paper with another man owning the plant. Prof. J. Silas Harris, of Kansas City, Mo., is giving much time to the work of building up a sentiment in the West favorable to a special Negro exhibit at the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1903. As a general proposition THE PLAINDEALER does not favor Negro exhibits, but since the splendid showing made by the Negroes of the South at the Atlanta Exposition under Prof I. G. Penn, and the benificent influence on public sentiment, we are disposed to endorse the movement so enthusiastically inaugurated by the Kansas City gentleman. In the appointment of commissioners to this great Western fair, no state forming a part of the Louisiana purchase has seen fit to honor our race by favorably mentioning a black man. In the great expanse of territory purchased from France in 1803, the Negro has played no insignificant part in its development. He stood with Jackson at New Orleans and defended the country from British invasion; he stood along side of the tireless settler, and assisted with his brawn and brain in dedicating the country to prosperity and progress. The Negro stood with those who demanded that the Union should live and that the Louisiana purchase should be the land of the free. But when the opportunity came and the governors of these states could have placed some Negro above the most menial positions, Kansas' governor, along with the others thought "it unnecessary." That the products of Negro labor will be seen at St. Louis in 1903 though he may not lift a hand, all know, but the world that comes to St. Louis, will not see the label. Here in this section are thousands of Negro farms and many hundred Negro laborers and millions of dollars paid annually for the support of state and county government, but when it comes to giving the race some representation above the cuspidors, all join with our beloved Governor Stanley in saying "it's unnecessary." $3.50 $3.50 "THE DORCAS" DARMSTRONG & Co.

Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the book there are always a number of people who imitate and make it tap out on the means of color people's goods. Seeing our marked success, these persons have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and being great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are leaving spurious compounds, which are tainted with annual fats, and do not in more harm than good.
