THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Hold Forth in Annual Conclave in the Electric City of Grand Old Missouri. VOLUME III. The Knights Templar DAY in the "Electric City" of Missouri. A day long to be remembered. Such is Thanksgiving Day, 1901, to the members of Cyrene Commandery No. 3, Knights Templar, the Twenty third Regiment band and the ladies and gentlemen who filled two special coaches on the Rock Island railroad, Thursday morning, Nov. 28, en route to St. Joseph. A few clouds covered the sky but a sharp North wind served to drive them away, disclosing the bright sun, which seemed to speak of "peace on earth, good will to man." Following a year of many vicissitudes, God gave to all a bright day in which to return thanks for the manifold blessing which had come to us with our pains and sorrows. Just a few moments behi d the Maple Leaf bearing Far West, No. 3 and Emanuel, No. 25, of Kansas City, Topeka's train pulled into the union station. Here they were met by the reception committee of Ladies and Sir Knights. Under the guidance of the special ladies committee, the visiting ladies were taken to the parlors of the Afro-American League club and made welcome. The visiting commanderits headed by the band and an escort of Northwestern Commandery marched from the depot to the Masonic temple, where they were cordially welcomed by Sir E G. Butler, E. C., of Northwestern commandery. THE LADIES RECEPITON. Promptly at 12 o'clock, the ladies accompanied by the Sir Knights were received by the ladies of St. Joseph assisting Mrs. J. H. Green. The reception room was tastefully decorated and presented a most pleasing appearance. Seated at the table, Sir W. H. Jones introduced Mrs. J. H. Green as presiding officer. Mrs. Green, nee Tina Reynolds of Topeka, is a very pleasant lady, presided with the grace and tact of a veteran. She introduced Mrs. J. M. Trent who very cordially "welcomed the visiting ladies" assuring them that the Sir Knights would throw about them the strong arm of protection. She emphasized the fact that this was the first time the ladies had been permitted to meet the sirs and trusted that the future would bring this pleasant affair around often. After some delay, owing to the absence of Mrs. Ward of Kansas City, Sir J. Hume Childers on the part of the visiting ladies responded to the welcome address. Mrs. Mitchell of Kansas City, spoke of the good work of the women and the beauty of Thanksgiving observance. Taking Elbert Hubbard's terse text, "Do the best you can and be kind," Mrs. M. E. Langston of Topeka, told the assembled ladies and sirs some good truths. One of the wittiest toasts at the banquet was "St. Joseph's Thanksgiving," responded to by Mrs. W. H. Jones. In this Mrs. Jones showed herself the equal her witty and brilliant husband. Following the serving of refreshments an informal reception was held at the League parlors where all St. Joseph did honor to the visiting believer. THE PARADE through the principal streets of St Joseph was an imposing spectacle. One hundred and fifty Sir Knights in line headed by Kansas' celebrated military band with Maj. Wesley Brown as drum major was a sight worthy of special mention. Following the band came a platoon of Grand Commandery officers of Kansas and Missouri under command of Sir J. Hume Childers. Northwes'ern Commandery in charge of Sir A. G. Carpenter. Far West and Emanuel Commanderies in charge of Sir John I. Miner. Cyrene Commandery of Topeka in charge of Sir W. R. Slaughter. The street work of the various commanderies was of a high order, and deserves the liberal applause received. We are indebted to The Omaha Enterprise for the following report of the henquet: Sir E. G. Butler, of Northwestern Commandery No.6, as Eminent Com- mander, in a few brief words extended a cordial welcome to the many visiting Knights representing Commanderies from Topeka, Leavenworth, Kansas City and Omaha. Sir Butler then introduced Sir M. O. Ricketts, P. D. G. Master of Missouri, as toast-master. Sir Ricketts in his usual manner responded to the honor conferred. In closing his remarks he introduced Sir George W. Smith, Deputy Grand Commander of Kansas. Sir Smith in responding to the toast gave a full and complete review of his official act as chairman of the Executive Committee of the Missouri Valley Association of Knights Templar. He showed the great good accruing to the race from such an organization. He showed that the coming together was lifting the standard of manhood and would ultimately bring our people to the front as good, moral citizens of this country. Sir C. Simpson of Emanuel No.25, in responding to the toast "In what direction are we tending" said "To us as men belongs the work of leading and molding public sentiment. Let us take up our burden and bear it well." Symbolic Masonry was discussed by Sir J. L. Miner of Emanuel No.25, of Kansas City. He showed the full necessity of paying homage to the Blue Lodge. "Then and now" was responded to by Sir J. Hume Childers. Sir J. L. Miner presented a testimonial to Sir W. H. Jones in the shape of an umbrella, to which Sir Jones responded in a very fitting manner. Sir S. G. Watkins was introduced to the banquet. Sir Watkins is the Grand Master of Kansas, who felt that to follow the King was to attempt a difficult task. He paid a high tribute to Negro womanhood and urged upon Masons the importance of paying proper respect to the women of our race. To the Negro Masons and Knights Templar belongs the work of saving the race in America. Str J. M. Trent responded to the toast of "Our Departed," accompanied by the orchestra to the music of "Nearer my God to Thee." It would be an unpardonable omission to omit speaking of the splendid service and the beautiful decorations. The banquet room was a thing of beauty. The feature of the annual meeting of the Missouri Valley Templar's Association was "THE DRILL" held at Odd Fellow's Auditorium and participated in by special drill corps from Kansas City, St. Joseph and Topeka. The evening's entertainment began with a splendid musical concert by the military band. Sir A. Gentry Carpenter led the special corps of Northwest Commandery on the floor, promptly at nine o'clock, and for thirty minutes held the audience in rapt admiration at the marvelous evolutions. His corps dressed in white leggins, black coats and white caps, presented a handsome appearance. Sir John L. Miner presented the Kansas City team of fifteen Sir Knights in full Templar's dress with grey shoes. Their work is always good and justly deserved much credit for the event time maintained. Last, but not least, was the corps from Cyrene Commandery, clad in armor cloth suits and helmets of steel. The work of this corps was the surprise of the evening. In the hands of a new commander, it was hardly expected to get into the game. In the hands of Sir Childers the corps received the praise and brought back the highest average. The corps is composed of Sirs J. W. Edmond, W. R. Slaughter, F. E. Jordan, W. G. Williams, Wm. Vaughn, G. W. Smith, D. F. Mallory, Charles A. Morton, W. T. McKnight, Chris, E. Jones, Ed Draine and H.

Tom says Omaha will meet with us TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 6, 1901 It was an orderly crowd. The Rock Island has the thanks of the boys for their splendid service. Mr. Arthur Callahan, son of Dr. H. B. Callahan, clerk of the District court, is reporting for the St. Joseph Herald, and entertained the Topeka boys highly. He knows no color when he meets a Topekan, and is succeeding finely in his new field. We look to see him break into politics soon in that burg and if he does it will be "a hot time in that old town." He can rely upon the colored people for support. One of the best hotels in the West, where one can be accommodated in the best of styles, was opened a few days ago, in St. Joe. The name of this new hostelry is the Imperial, located 105 and 107 Felix street, Mrs. Gertrude Potts proprietor, and Mr, J. H. Green manager. The house contains twenty rooms, each heated by steam, newly furnished, carpeted and supplied with electric lights and bells. Not only is the dining room neat in appearance, but the meals served in it are superb. There has been in St. Joseph for years a need for a first class place where travelers can stop, without inquiring first from everyone they meet, where can a colored man get to stop? The people of St. Joe ought to be proud of the Imperial. Patronize this enterprise. THE 'PARISIAN PARLOR' Mrs. A. J. Gilmore, Mrs. A. C. Scott and Miss Grace Jones have opened a Parisian Partor at 524 Fifth avenue. Leavenworth, Kansas, where they are cutting and making fine dresses of the latest style and up to date. Ladies who wish to patronize fashionable dressmakers will do well by calling on this firm before going elsewhere. ATLANTA, GA.

Jones, of Richmond, Va, a Negro physician and surgeon of prominence and skill, started a movement looking toward the building near that city of a Negro colony and he has now announced that the necessary funds are in hands, and that within a very short time the first house will be erected. To start with, 1000 acres of rich land on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, a few miles south of Richmond, have been purchased, and here the surveyors have laid out the little village that Doctor Jones hopes to see grow into a colony. From sixty to one-hundred houses will be built at first, he says, and to each house will be assigned five acres of land, the land, however, to be some distance from the village. The houses are to be neat little cottages, much alike in appearance and built close together, with a good lawn in front and a garden patch in the rear, the village itself occupying some fifty acres and leaving the remainder for cultivation. There will be a very pretty little park, a public hall for meetings, a club for the women, and it is the idea of Dr. Jones to give the colored people a little village or colony of their own, where they may be all supreme and where they may have a society of their own. A large number of applications have already been received from those who want to become members of the colony and Dr Jones says he has letter from Negroes in every state in the South, who want to join. He say that he knows of similar movement that are to be started in at least two other Southern states, and expresses it as his opinion that it is the best way to elevate the black race in commercial as well as an intellectual way. If there were more men like Dr. Jones and T.Booker Washington the race problem would not long be unsolved. Speaks His Sentiments A STRONG argument in regard to race prejudices is given in the following from Hon. E. W. Hoch's Marion (Kas.) Record. Mr. Hoch is one of those broad-minded white men who does not bite his tongue in a matter of justice to all men. It is one of the strongest things we have seen in quite a while—especially from the pen of a white man: Apropos of the Booker T. Washington incident, at the White House, and the animated discussion which has grown out of it, it might be well for all of us to make some soundings of self to learn the depths of our own racial prejudices, for we all have them—no doubt about that. Prejudices are hatred things, and yet how the human mind clings to them! Take the prejudice against the descendants of Ham, for instance. Here we find the culmination of the white man's prejudice. It is more intense than against any other race of people. And yet the $N_g$ gro race is superior to some other people against whom no such prejudice exists. Compare the black man and the red man. For hundreds of years the Indian has had every advantage of civilization freely offered him. The government has lavished its wealth and wisdom upon him. It has allotted him the choicest of lands and erected comfortable homes for his shelter. It has established schools for the education of his children. It has supplied his every want. But in spite of all these advantages, the Indian refuses to be civilized, and i PRIEST HON. WILLIAM T. VERNON, A. M. President, Western University, Quin daro, Kansas. rapidly becoming extinct. In all these centuries no really great Indian has arisen to adorn the pages of history. Far different the history of the Negro. The government has done nothing for him save to break his shackles. No farms nor homes nor schools nor daily supplies have been lavished upon him. On the contrary, he has been compelled to struggle amid difficulties truly pathetic. And yet he has steadily advanced. He has shown himself to be capable of development. He is docile, teachable, impressible. In less than half a century of freedom he has acquired millions of dollars in property values, and embellished the pages of history with many noble and noted representatives of his race, like Fred Douglass, and Senator Bruce, and Booker T. Washington, and W. Vernon, and other eminent scholars and lawyers and statesmen of their color and kind. The Indian is vastly inferior to the Negro, and yet he encounters no such prejudices among the whites as obstruct the progress of his black brother. Now, it isn't the purpose of this article to advocate the obliteration of race distinctions, nor to promote nor condone amalgamation, "Birds of a feather flock together," and we believe the races should do the same thing. It is not a question of "equality," nor of racial leveling in any form, but it is a question of justice and fairness to the black man. We merely plead for fair treatment for him. That is all. Booker T Washington asks for his race. Father Mose Dickson, the founder of the Knights and Daughters of Tabors and veteran minister, editor and author died last week at his home. Link; A Home-Made Hero BY MARGARET HILL McCARTER THE MUSEUM STANLEY HALL, THE $10,000 BUILDING Recently Completed for Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. 2651 Pine street, St. Louis. The St. Louis Globe Democrat has the following as to the funeral: "The obsequies take place Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, at St Paul's A. M. E. church, Leffingwell and Lawton avenues, and will be the most elaborate ever witnessed by the colored people of this city. "The ceremonies will be held under the auspices of the International Order of Twelve, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, of which he was the founder and official head. The details of the ceremonies will be determined upon by S. A. Jordan, of Little Rock, Ark., vice grand mentor. The body will lie in state for several days, and the interment will take place in St Peter's cemetery. "Father Dickson was one of the oldest and most distinguished members of the Masonic order and Grand Master A. M. Chinn, of Glasgow, Mo, is here for the purpose of deciding upon what part that order will take in the burial ceremonies. Twenty grand officers of the International Grand Temple of the Knights of Tabor have telegraphed their intention to attend the funeral and act as a guard of honor to the remains of their chief mentor. Most of them are expected to arrive within the next two or three days. Those who have signified their intention to be present are: S. A. Jordon, international vice grand mentor, and Henrietta E. Carolina, grand high priestess, Little Rock, Ark., A. R. Chinn, international chief grand scribe, Glasgow, Mo.; Lydia S. Gales, vice grand priestess, Boston, Mass.; Anna M.

[We take pleasure in asking our many readers to carefully read the fascinating story by Margaret Hill McCarter. This story appeared in the Newsboys' Annual, published on Thanksgiving Day. It is a splendid story, full of noble sentiment, for which THE PLAINDEAER thanks the author. She is a Topeka lady who has been identified with our public schools and has had an excellent opportunity to judge of the ambitions of our boys and girls. The story is charmingly told. We are pleased to announce an article by this author to appear in a future issue of this paper.] He lived right here in this town—a little yellow "coon" with big black eyes, a hungry look, and clothes that were always ragged. He sold papers morning and evening, and the little money that he gained he gave to his mother. His real name was Abraham Lincoln Buxton, but the rag-tag street crowd called him "Link Buck" or "Old Stub," the former for short, the latter because he was a stubborn, sullen child. Link's father, a big Negro, was a worthless, Making a Man of the Negro Dr. W. H. Hudson is Doing a Great Work in Atchison. WRITER in the Topeka Capital of last Sunday gives an able and well merited tribute to the work Dr. W. H. Hudson and the True Eleven have been doing in Atchison. We quote as follows: When Kansas passes around the medals for doing things, Dr. W. H. Hudson of Atchison should not be neglected. With less sounding of hewgags and beating of tom-toms, Dr. Hudson is dying for the Negroes of his community what Booker T. Washington is doing for the race at large. He is doing it in a quiet, unobtrusive way and his fame is as yet confined to the limits of the town in which he lives. Dr. Hudson is a Negro physician and a man who combines much more than ordinary intelligence with practical ideas. He is the head man in the True Eleven, a practical fraternal order for people of his race. In fact, he originated the order, wrote its by-laws and framed its working plans. Through the True Eleven Dr. Hudson is reaching the better side of his people and is making of them honest, sober, industrious citizens. The True Eleven owns its own building in Atchison. It has a commodious hall, in which practically all the social functions are held. A set of rules governs the conduct of the men and women who assemble there, and an intraction thereof forever bars the offending person from the privileges of the hall. No drinking is allowed on the premises, and no intoxicated person is permitted to enter the place. Loud talk or boisterous conduct is an infraction of the rules, and so is running up and down stairs. Rules for dancing are prescribed, and the dances at the True Eleven hall are as genteel and polite as those which obtain in the swellest social organization in the drinking, vagabond sort of fellow. His mother did washing, cleaning—anything she could get to do; and Link helped her all he could. He loved his mother, that was one of his two redeeming traits. The other was the possession of a quick mind. He could learn. These two things saved him. There were three other boys in the family. The youngest, a cripple, was a constant care. The Buxton home was a miserable, two-roomed shack, over on the creek bank; poorly fitted up at any time; in summer, but Link lived mostly in the creek then; and in winter the house was very cold. Link never had clothing enough and none that ever fitted him. He never had enough to eat, so he did not grow rapidly nor symmetrically. His associates were of the regulation street gamin class. They smoked and chewed tobacco, they talked vile slang and swore. Link did all of these too. But he was sullen and unhappy by nature, so he was not good company. He hated the world and he used to lie awake on cold nights shivering and wishing he was Life and Fight the Negro on in Doing a Great Work country. Summed up briefly, the usages which govern social assemblages in the best white society are usages that govern social events at the True Eleven hall, and they are rigorously enforced. Another of Dr. Hudson's schemes for the betterment of his race is a night school for mature colored persons who were denied educational advantages in their youth. Dr. Hudson and the other educated colored men of Atchison are the teachers and they give their services free of charge. The result is that thirty or forty men and women, ranging from 35 to 65 years, are studying the primer and taking the first step in arithmetic. Men and women who have passed the three score mark are learning the alphabet. Others are being initiated into the mysteries of penmanship, simple addition and long division. And in addition to these things the True Eleven look out for the needy and suffering and stands ready always to extend a helping hand where help is merited. Social lines are as closely drawn among the Negroes of Atchison as they are in any white community. No person who is a loafer, or who is dishonest, immoral or trifling can get into this society in Atchison. Thrift, sobriety, morality and Industry are the only passports that are recognized when a man or woman knocks for admission to the exclusive circles. The ornery "nigger" is not recognized and must herd by himself with his kind. The result is that Atchison in proportion to its population has more Negroes who own their own homes, more who work steadily the year round, more Negro children who attend school regularly, and less crime and immorality among the race than any other town in the country. And this condition of affairs is due largely to the efforts of Dr. Hudson. de Hero CARTER out of it, or that he could put out of it everybody else who was warm and sleepy while he was cold and wakeful. In short, Link had in him the making of a first class anarchist when years and opportunity should lead him to think more of his relation to his fellowmen. But Link loved his mother and he loved to read. He did read, too, everything he got hold of, and the most he got hold of was not worth the reading. Link's love of learning kept him irregularly in the ward school until one day he was promoted into the high school. But he had no money to buy books with and his clothes were in tatters. He wasn't going up among the "dudes" at that high school, he declared. Then his mother told him why she called him Link. "It was because I hoped you might some time come out ahead in this hard life we colored people have," she said, "just as good old Abe Lincoln when he was a boy overcame all the things that were in his way. And when he was a man they called him a hero, and he set the slaves free. You be a hero, too, Link." Link knew the story well enough. Boys who get to the door of the high school, now-a-days, have all these life histories written in to their minds pretty thoroughly. But his mother's pleading and his real wish to learn made him give in. One wet February morning little Link, the least and shabbiest of the sub-freshmen class, came slouching into the high school. He tried to be, defiant and to keep his eyes well open for slights and injustices which he understood the teachers had ready for all of his color. And the teachers did not like him at all. He was too unlovely in spirit. But they pitied him. One of them found a good suit of clothes for him. That made him comfortable and grateful. Another bought his books because he was a good student. That made him study harder. And so the school.

We beg the indulgence of our many readers if we digress from our usual course and appa- rently stand in defense of a class of Negroes whose presence is a great detriment to the race. To- peka, like many other large cities possesses a class of lewd women and men. The lewd Negro wo- men of Topeka are a menace to the progress of the race, and the means of many an insuit offered respectable colored women. They are a disgrace and should be sum- marily dealt with. At the same time Topeka has a large and in- crea singclass of while men who maintain and support this disrep- utable class of Negro women. They are a disgrace to the white people of Topeka, and deserve to be as severely punished as do the Negro prostitutes whose compa- ny they seek.

His home grew worse. His father was more often and violently drunk, more useless and abuseful. His lit tle crippled brother fortunately slip- ped our of the world one dreary night, leaving one mouth less to fill. Early in Link's senior year his moth- er fell sick. Three month's belore his father had dropped out of the home and never came back. A new baby, six months old, not wanted nor needed, was, babywise, getting ahold on all the hearts in that shab- by little house. Link was working hard this yearon the home stretch of his schooling. He meant to try for a place as teacher in the city schools next year, And then life would be easier for all of them. “1 dress my mother so grand and gay, And the boby shall have a new toy each day.” Heused to say to the little baby brother, who in spite of poverty in the family knew how to grow fat. Link's brothers weres helping too, now. One sold papers and the other Dlacked shoes, and both went te school. But just before Thaksgiving that year Mrs, Buxton grew very ill. One night she called Link to her, saying, “You must be mother, now. You be ahero and save and keep the boys till we meet in heaven.” Then she died, The city buried her and paid her doctor bill.

He would keep these boys in school until they were graduated. He would bea mother to this baby, and he would keep them all together. He would teach school to support them and himself. By and by when he could leave them he would go away and learn to be a doctor of medicine and then poor people should have such care in sickness as his dead mother could not afford. This was his dream, but between it and its realization lay such days of discouragement, such seemingly impossible things toovercome. He was not yet out of school. He must beside being a student be housekgep- er, nurse, cook, guide and provider for the family. And he knew so little how to go about it. He was only a young colored boy whose life had been of the narrowest compass. He went about his work bravely. A neighbor woman kept the little one in the forenoons. Link hurried from the high school every day to get dinner for the family. In the evenings when the corner grocery was crowded with young fellows, over in the Buxton shanty the boys with Link to guide them were getting their lessons. Brave Link, fighting poverty and tempta- tion, without sympathy or encour- agement; trying to make a home with no woman’s hand to shape it into homelikeness. How well white boys with plenty of means and sym- pathy mighthave succeeded is doubt- ful. But it was doubly hard for this colored boy. What he did in the years that came after reads like a story.
