THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Rev. Olden Should Discard the Use of Slang and Vituperation in Preparing His Sermons on the Negro-Precept and Example Should Go Hand in Hand. A Few Paragraphs Concerning Prospective Candidates For the Different Offices. KANSAS MID-WINTER EXPOSITION Is Now in Full Bloom—The Auditorium is a Scene of Beauty and Activity. VOLUME IV. Rev. Olden Should I In Political Circles A Few Paragraphs C For the Different Office Hon. W J. Bailey. W. J. Bailey, of Baileyville, has announced his candidacy for Governor. Mon, K. B. Miller. Senator H. B. Miller, of Osage, is before the people as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. D. X. Wilson, of Bellville. D. Y. Wilson, of Bellville, Kas, was in town last week. He is a candidate for Auditor of State. Harry Bone will be Here. When the crowd of Republicans set down to the feast on Kansas Day Harry Bone, the rattling candidate for Attorney General, will be there, and his genial face and cordial hand shake will put him in on the ground floor of 1902 politics. Good News. We are informed from a very reliable source that T. Thomas Fortune, the talented journalist and diplomat, will be appointed Minister to Hayti, which, if true, will be hailed with great pleasure by the whites as well as blacks. For Clerk of the District Court. Everybody who has had occasion to go about the court house, has heard of Shell Curtis. He will be a candidate for Clerk of the District Court. He has served as deputy under Dr. Callahan and possesses the necessary qualifications. Judge West in the Field. Judge J. S. West, Assistant Atty. General of Kansas, resident of Wyandotte county, announces himself a candidate for Attorney General. He has won more cases for the state than any of his predecessors and upon him devolves a great deal of responsibility in the department of Justice. He is an eminent jurist, well versed in the law. His familiarity with the business of this state puts him in good trim to make the race for this position. He is now assured of the Second district, which means a good deal in the next state convention. Troutman for Governor. Hon James A. Troutman, one of Shawnee county's sons, announces himself a candidate for Governor. He was a member of the Dougtsas house in 1892, which saved the good name of Kansas. He was elected Lientenant Governor in '96. Presiding over the Senate he was tar, impartial and dignified. As a parliamentarian there is none better to be found in this county and he is one of the finest of orators. He is one of the leading attorneys in the state, A KANSAS MID-WINT Is Now in Full Bloom—The Beauty and Topeka throws open her gates this week and invites everybody to come and visit her. She has got on her bib and tucker and will try to show to all a good time. It isn't going to be the same old entertainment provided in previous years. Heretofore, when her friends have dropped in on her, she has got out the old recipe and set the same old dishes on their table. The routine has rarely varied. It has been turkey with cranberry sauce for dinner and fruit cake for desert, with perhaps a little home made grape wine on the side. Then, the men would look at the chicken while the women folks would gossip. And then there would be a good time in the evening with music on the mel the evenings with music on the melodean, and all that sort of thing. But that is going to be changed this year and instead of the customary programme, Topeka is going to show her visitors a time that will be right up to date in every respect. It isn't going to be so terribly elaborate but it will contain a lot of features that will be new to Mid-Winter Expositions. The Auto exhibit is worth the price of admission, while the electric display is fine. The entire front of the Auditorium is studded with electric lights and looks like the brilliant staunch Republican, he has always assisted others to offices; now, he thinks it is time for his friends to reciprocate. If elected he would reflect great credit upon the state. Councilman Myers. Councilman Myers of the Second ward will be a candidate for re-election and is industriously circulating among his many friends to keep down opposition. Sentiment for Cole. Auditor Geo. W. Cole is not making a brass band canvass for the gubernatorial nomination but there is a feeling in the air that when the general roll is called he'll be close about the head of the procession. Superintendent Frank Nelson. Public sentiment seems to be settling favorable to a third term for Superintendent Frank Nelson. The department of public instruction should be as far removed from political influence as possible. Superintendent Nelson has made a most excellent official and should be retained. Galen Nichols as County Attorney County Attorney Galen Nichols has announced his candidacy for re-election. It is gratifying to Mr. Nichols' many friends to know that his good work has been the means of bringing to him at this time, the fall and hearty support of many who were against him two years ago. He will practically have no opposition. THE PLAINDEALER has always been the friend of Mr. Nichols and believes his good work merits the unanimous endorsement of all people. The Kansas Day Club's Banquet. The Kansas Congressional delegation will be in Topeka next week to attend the Kansas Day Club's Banquet. At this club banquet the political affairs of the state are thoroughly discussed, and state offices parcelled out. Senator Burton will head the delegation and his brilliant oratory will be an agreeable diversion. Congressmen Curtis, Longa, Scott and their associates are making a splendid record for the state at the national capitol. It might not be a bad idea for the banqueters to go slow on giving out the state offices, and be sure that the people are consulted. Capt. Wm. Reynolds Will Run. When the Twenty-third Kansas regiment was being made up for service in the late Spanish American war, the people of Topeka felt much interest in Company "A" because it was made up and offered by Tope- end man in a mammoth minstrel show. There were about 5,000 paid admissions the first day and evening, which was quite encouraging to the men who are backing the game. John F. Dee, the juggler, is not only clever, but he has some new tricks that are making their first visit to Topeka. Ringling Bros. Gigantic Circus is well represented by the Blamondon Bros. in their aerial ladder act. The silver statute of Ada Rehan is on exhibition in Charles E. Eagle's booth. It is very striking, but leaves the impression that Ada was anything but beautiful. The Trombone Girl is a "peach," but some of the young men of Topeka think she would make a beautiful half pear. The gushing youths and beautiful maids of the city, and for many miles around, were there, neither was the silvery hair nor wrinkled brow of age absent, while little folks were so numerous as to threaten the peace. Jubilee every fifteen minutes. Vocal and instrumental music was in abundance and inspired the nice young men with many illusive hopes. Had Carrie Nation been there her favorite theories in regard to harness, inoffensive man would have been shaken. Could she have witnessed TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24. 1902. ka boys. At the head of this Company was placed Captain William Reynolds. His record as captain of this company is admirable. He received many complimentary notices from his superior officers. The many friends of Captain Reynolds have prevailed upon him to allow his name to be used as a candidate for member of the Board of Education from the Sixth ward. Captain Reynolds is well qualified in every respect and if selected to fill the position will do so with honesty and fidelity. He will make a strong candidate. M. A. Hanne in 1994. The signs of the times indicate that the astute political general, statesman and financier, Senator M. A. Hanna, will be selected as the standard bearer of the Republican party in 1904. Senator Hanna has been one of the most powerful supporters of the McKinley policy which has done so much to bring prosperity and happiness to the American peo- SENATOR M. A. HANNA, Upon Whom President McKinley Cast the Presidential Mantle for 1904 ple. His great mind has, at all times, taken in the condition and needs of the laboring people as well as the capitalists. He is a man of large financial interests, whose interest in the prosperity of the nation rises above mere political selfishness. He has the confidence and respect of the business and laboring people of the country. He is the logical man upon whom the mantle of the martyrred McKinley should fall. His nomination will he demanded by the laboring element, the capitalist and the farmers. His influence has aided in shaping the administration's policy on all the great questions now before the American people. He is devoted to the expansion of our shipping interest, the building of the Isthmian canal, the development of reciprocal relations with foreign countries, the establishment of a stable government in the Phillipines, and the proper solution of all domestic questions. The Kansas delegation will go to the National Convention solid for the man from Ohio. *PASSING COMMENT* Bishop C, T. Shaffer goes to Africa. The departure of Bishop Shaffer of the A. M. I. church for Sierra Leone and Liberia, West Africa, on the 18th of this month, for the purpose of presiding over the conferment of the Thirteenth Episcopal district, is not without much interest to the Negroes of Kansas. No bishop in the African Methodist church is better or more favorably known. During the past year he maintained the Episcopal residence at 516 Taylor street, in this city. The bishop is a fine, dignified, scholarly gentleman, whose quiet, unassuming manners deeply impress all who come in contact with him. This is Bishop Shaffer's first visit to Africa. He will not only prove a blessing to the church, but will be highly beneficial. Kansas prays that the good bishop's efforts will be crowned with success. Is the name of the official organ of the Board of Missions of the A. M. E. church. It was founded by the talented and aggressive churchman, Bishop Henry McNeil Turner, and has proven a great factor in the development of the missionary spirit among our people. Bishop Turner has been succeeded as managing editor by the equally tallented and eloquent Henry Blanton Parks, D. D., who will be remembered as the builder of St. John A. M. E. church. Dr. Parks has made of this paper one of the handsomest periodicals issued by Negroes. Sixteen pages of well selected reading matter, profusely illustrated. Its editorial page is clean, pure and spirited, dealing with pub- The Voice of Illusions SOUTHERN POLITICS The New York Age Discusses That Section. --- For a great many years, since 1876 at least, a very unsatisfactory condition of affairs has existed in the Republican party in the South; if, indeed, we can reasonably claim that there was any Republican party, judged by the standard of party organization existing in the other states of the Union. When year after year a party neglects, elects or deems it wise or expedient not to place any candidate in nomination, and that has been true of most of the states of the South since 1876, it becomes an open question as to whether a party can be said to have an actual existence under such circumstances. We have at other times discussed fully the causes leading up to the existing condition of affairs and sought diligently to point out the reasons master general sufficiently answers why it could not continue, so that it is not necessary now to go over that ground at this time, even though we have undeniably reached the parting of the ways—reached a point where the National organization has taken the bull by the horns, so to speak, and decided that there must be a change. It is not too much to say that our own men are very greatly, though not entirely, responsible for the condition and the necessity for the change. It is sufficient to say that the white men by whom they have stood, for the most part, and into whose hands they have entrusted the party management, are now desetting them and joining hands with those who have decided that there must be a new deal. Truly, you can't eat your pie and have it. But what is to be the scope and character of the new deal in Southern politics? We think that the appointment of the Honorable Henry C. Payne to succeed the Honorable Charles Emory Smith to be post the question. Mr. Payne would not lif questions fearlessly and impartially. The initial number for the new year is exceptionally fine. "Up Against It" The Central Christian Advocate of the M.E. church has been studying the race problem. Editor Spencer, (who by the way, is an old time friend of ye editor) one of the few white men as devoid of race prejudice as possible, makes this conclusion in an editorial review of a series of papers on the race problem solicited from leading Negroes: * * The Negro is 'up against' the world ruling race. And it is the important fact, at this moment, now, at last, that in this world ruling race he finds not a colleague, a fellow helper, a brother, but a competitor, a rival, and if we may write the word down in black and white, a boss. The Negro now stands alone. He is not now any longer 'privileged.' He must stand on his own legs." This is a remarkable statement when one considers that it comes from a christian gentleman of profound erudition and great piety. Not one of the heterogeneous elements of humanity that go to make up our national citizenship finds itself so hedged about and barred out as the Negro. He is so highly thought of in the South that the "world ruling race" insists that the railroad companies must provide him with the "Jim Crow Car." His children are held to be so much better than those of the "world ruling race" that separate schools, in out of the way places, are provided, to prevent contact. He is thought so much of by the labor organizations of this end of the free that he is fussy have been invited to a seat in the cabinet if President Roosevelt did not share in some sort his pronounced views upon the Republican organization and methods in the South. If Mr. Payne's views become a part of Republican party policy, most of the Southern states will in future have no more than one delegate in the National Republican Conventions, as the suggested basis of one delegate for each 10,000 votes cast by the party in the state at the election last preceding the convening of the National Convention would bar out most of the Southern states, in few of which more than 10,000 Republican votes have been cast at any election since 1876. And Mr. Payne is not likely to sanction the appointment of many Afro-Americans in the South, however he may be disposed to do so in the Northern and Western states, for we take it for granted, and as a matter of course, that there must be compensation somewhere for the loss we are likely to sustain in the South, where we cast few votes, and this must be in the states where we do cast votes. Under Mr. Payne's direction it is also highly probable that the old time white Republican postmasters will have to walk the plank, for the purpose seems to be to create a new Republican party in the South by encouraging what are called commercial and Gold Democrats to shinny on the Republican side. The entering wedge has been made in several of the Southern states, if Federal appointments may be taken as showing the way the wind blows and will blow. The transfer of Mr. John C. Dancey from the Collectorship of Customs at Wilmington, N.C., to the Recordership of the District of Columbia is also a straw, as a white man will certainly succeed him as Collector of Customs for Wilmington. In another direction, the selection of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of Missouri, to be minister to Liberia, to succeed Dr. O. L. W. Smith of North Carolina, shows that the West, which has cut no great figure in Federal appointments, is not to be shut out, under the new order, in the interest of the South. We shall watch very closely every move on the party checker board, with the intense and fascinating interest the subject has for us, and we feel that if others had been as unselfish and far-seeing in the matter as we have been, and as the files of our our paper will show, there would be a different story to tell. We have entered upon a new period of race history and development. The period of National sympathy in every department of effort, based upon sentiment born out of the Anti Slavery agitation, has passed away and will not come back again; we have come upon the period when we are regarded and rated as other men are, from the drastic, practical point of view We believe we shall come out on top, but we shall have to hustle to do it. We now have the work of men to do, as we shall be weighed in the scales as men, and we had better get our shoulders to the wheel and keep them there. It is written. admission to unions and requested to abstain from learning trades. He is so deeply venerated by the public, that hotels, restaurants, etc., admit him only to the dining rooms, etc. cetera, as servants. Verily, the Negro is "privileged" to look through the windows of the world's work, at the "world's ruling race." The proposition he is up against is not the lack of ambition and energy to do his share in the world's great field of labor, but the "denied privilege." What Liberla Needs: An eastern paper in commenting on the selection of a progressive Western Negro, Dr. Crossland, as Minister and Counsel-General to Liberia, by President Roosevelt, very nicely remarks: "We are of the opinion that the good of the Republic of Liberia demands a representative of our government who is a diplomat in the fullest acceptance of the term." This is the proper conclusion. Liberia is essentially an American Republic. Its resources are very little known by the American people. With the right kind of a Negro as the diplomatic representative of our government there, the commercial and agricultural interest of that country will be properly placed before the people of That Criminal Negro Clarence E. Langston Gives Some Wholesome Advice to Those Who are Cursing and Discussing Him. The alleged criminality of the has turned her back upon them Negro, by some, is based upon scorn. The alleged criminality of the Negro, by some, is based upon parental and church indifference. Some have said that parental neglegence is the cause of the numerous arrests. Should the Negro be away off in some spacious corner of the United States or some other country where he could do business for himself—could be his own grocer, butcher, etc., that might furnish employment to the young, how many arrests do you think would occur during the year? As it is, the doors of labor and trade are closed against him, and even labor unions are shutting him off from the meniel positions. Today, Negro boys and girls meet on the street, white boys and girls, who as class-nates were their inferiors in every branch of study. These white boys and girls are now holding responsible positions of trust in the Santa Fe Offices or in some commercial establishment from which the Negro is barred because of his color. These white boys and girls realize $50.00 to $60.00 per month, while the Negro boys are compelled to be the janitors at $5 or $6 a week and the girls are forced to the kitchen for the enormous salary of $2 to $3 per week, or "chase clothing up and down a wash board" at 50 cents per wash. Such highly renumerative employments are not calculated to curb the criminal propensities of a humiliated black child—especially when such employment is a catch-as-catch can affair. The Negro is not a luxury desiring race, all he wants is a plenty, and to have such, must be earned by the sweat of his brow, but the labor unions of his poor white brothers who get theirs in the same manner, have closed the doors against him and today, some people are saying that it is the fault of the parents. There is no mother or father who would not look with admiration upon their son or daughter away up at the top of the ladder, but if the iron doors of labor are barred against the father, it is an utter impossibility for the weaker and younger ones to batter them down. Those who argue that the criminality of the Negro lies with parental indifference are holding positions where they can look down upon, and see the needs of the masses or great common people, but are at a loss for something to say when it comes time to assist them, especially with their money and in devising means to furnish them with employment. They are among the few whom Dame Fortune has smiled upon, but for the whole of their race, she A CHVRCH FREE FROM DEBT. $8.00 Mortgage. At 8 o'clock Thursday, January members and friends of Ebenezer Baptist church will there all in smiles, a great jubilee meeting over the burning of the $8,000 mortgage papers. After going through the terrible ordeal and crucial test they have a right to celebrate and rejoice. The parties called creditors started suit to capture this church ten years ago, and under the indomitable lead of Rev. Wm. Smothers they have fought ten legal battles with the enemy in that time and only suffered one reverse. The lawyer had to publicly admit that Rev. Smothers was a stayer of unusual quality, and at this celebration he deserved every inch of praise he so liberally received. They had an excellent program for the evening. The house gave Mr. Wm. Barnes and Miss Bertha Johnson oncores for the rich bass and soprano solos they respectively treated them to. The board of deacons and trustees, or better, the warriors, were seated in the front. They all were countenances of victory. Trustee and Deacon G. W. Conaway broke the lie in a surprising good speech. He has been an officer for twenty years and knows every inch of the ground. He said he prayed God to let live to see the church paid for and he would be ready to die, but tonight he was so happy he wanted to live on. Deacon Richard Carter made a good jubilee speech. He reminded them he was back to stay, which was very heartily received. A good set of resolutions of gratefulness to the pastor was read by Deacon James Brown, to which Dr. G. G. Brown of Leavenworth presented some very choice words. Lawyer Hudson, their attorney during this next arose with a short review and paid a very high compliment to the members and untiring energy of the Go Hand in Hand. Negro A Gives Some Wholesome Advice to Bring and Discussing Him. has turned her back upon them in scorn. The Negro as it is noted, is too much of a city loving race, he should go out on the farm, take hold and turn up the sord, let the geese, ducks and chickens pick up the worms and bugs while he listens to the growing of the corn, wheat and potatoes. There is no encouragement for the Negro youth to learn the tailor, carpenter, printers' or any trade which he may desire, for after doing so there is no employment open to them. Those who are holding paying positions and parading the faults of the unfortunate ones, should organize stock companies and do something by which they can give the young employment. The Negroes who have undertaken enterprises are on a weak basis, and the guns of the "big fellows" are fired upon them so strong that it were not for the patronage of a few liberal minded whites, they would soon fall through. The race must get together, when one begins to rise, help him. Do not take hold of the other end of the rope and pull him down. The majority of the Negroes think if they can't be all of it themselves, no one else shall. Let us get together, mass our strength and fight the battles of each other. Christianity is recognized by all, but its garb conceals as much dirt as does the dingy walls of the delapated "huts" on "Smokey Row." Any number of young girls have gone from the church to such places. What the Negro wants is money. With religion and Christianity goes money, and to have such he must be provided with a means to earn it. Money! money!! money!!! is what the Negro needs. If he had money, the criminals could be easily counted, color line, mob law, Judge Lynch and disfranchisement to the contrary notwithstanding. In The State Journal of Monday evening we notice a sample of a Christian (?) leader who delivered himself in language of the cock pit and bar room variety. It was simply an array of slang, which if heard by many children will do them more harm than associating with a lot of street gamins! Just think of him speaking of his race as apes and monkeys, and saying the children should be scrubbed and their heads over-hauled, that he had seen these things in the Madison school. Had the speaker thought of the fathers and mothers of these poor children who were toiling in the ditches and wash-tubs to earn a few dimes by which they might support his place of worship, perhaps he would have hesitated in his radical remarks. Because the people of Lowman Hill are asking that a school for their children be placed in a healthy location, an eloquent (?) divine speaks of them as being the comical little animals that inhabit the jungles of Africa. If some of these leaders who are long on advice would set a proper example, to go along with their voci- ferous precepts, there would be less criminality among the young Negroes. CLARENCE E. LANGSTON. EE FROM DEBT. arch of Atchison Destroys an pastor, followed by Drs. Hudson and Taylor, who, too, gave enthusiasm a lift. Next came the pastor, Rev. Wm. Sootners, with coupons and notes and mortgage in his hands. He declared he was happy at the result "though it was a hard fought battle," and before the anxious eyes of a crowded house he had the mortgage burned. The singing of the choir was all right, and Mrs. Anna Belle Gray's performance at the organ is entitled to some praise. When Rev. Sootners came in 1881 he found a shanty for a church, and now he presents them with an edifice worth $12,000. Last year he added two hot air furnaces, which makes the church a place to be sought the coldest day. One thing also admirable about the Reverend, he continues to gratefully thank everybody who has in any way assisted his church. The Plaindealer wishes this flock and shepherd continued success. Rev. L. Wilson of Topeka, who is a firstclass minister and a cousin of Mr. Fred Shackelford, is assisting in the series of meetings at the A. M. E. church. The better and less envious set of colored men are getting closer and closer together. Mr. Eugene Bell and wife resides at the corner of Eighth and L streets. We visited Leavenworth hospital lately and were pleased beyond expectation. The Leavenworth people have done a great thing. They are showering great praise on their worthy Dr. Moates for leading this enterprise. Atchison commends the doctor. The True Eleven is so well pleased with this good work they will present the Leavenworth people with a bed for their hospital. So let the race stand together. NUMBER 4. CLARENCE E. LANGSTON.

OLDEN’S TALK. First African Baptist church periodically breaks out on the race question, Last Sunday night the reverend gentleman delivered himself on the ‘Color Line in our Public Schools’’— excerpts of which appeared in The Topeka State Journal. It is to be hoped that the report was garbled. In the absence of information to the contrary, we must presume the Journal's statements to be correct. The career of Rey. Olden in Topeka has been a checkered one and one need not be surprised that he should have a sour stomach when talking about his people. At the outset he lays down the proposition that the Negro has no tight to complain about conditions enforced upon him by a prejudiced public, not imposed upon other races. No race of people can afford to sit supine!ly by and accept unjust conditions enforced upon them. Thousands of immigrants leave Europe evesy year because of their dissatisfaction with con. ditions there. They complain why should not the Negro? He says: “Another thing. I am oppesed t trying to put myself off on other peo ple who don't want me, I believ in race pride, but not in forcing my self on other people. They pay th taaes and it looks like the man wh: is running the thing with his mone ought 10 have a say about how i shall be run. Instead of that, w are all the time say’ng we are entit led to this or that. Whatis it tha makes one man entitled to the sam as another? Is it being equal in a things—in money and intelligence. The colored people of Topek have as much race pride as Bre Olden, and are not seeking t force themselves upon the white: There are certain rights all cil izens are entitled to and they ar cowards who do not contend {c them. As to the matter of taxe the colored people pay the proportion of the taxes as in pesed upon all citizens. No of stops to inquire the color of tt person owning the property i levying the assessment. It migl be well 1or Rev. Olden to invest gate the conditions in Lowms Hill and he will find that tt colored people out there ow more property than the whi residenters. Happily, under th government the taxes come fro allclasses regardless of color at are applied tothe public goo: the Negroes contributing the share. We doubt very much th President Wilson, of the boa: of education made the stateme: that the schools were seperat on the grounds of a “lack Prompt, Clean | White Work 5 Callatscecceerente CoB. 4 de Bitte. sce cece scott !

While there are un- fortunately some Negroes who are not up in the use of soap and water, there are thousands of whites in the same condition, and on the same parity of reasoning, the dirty whites should be seperated from the clean. * that is all bosh, Bro. Olden is very fond of hearing his own voice. In the matter of developing homes of a high order, Bro. Olden has thus far failed to set a decent example to illustrate the precept. The colored peo- ple of Fopeka have hundreds cf nice homes presided over by cultured and refined women who take pride in their children about which Bro. Olden is certainly ignorant. No race of people are judged by their baser elements except the Negro, and then only when the judgment is delivered by a Negro seeking to curry the favor of that class of whites who desire to believe that the Negro is the Nazareth of races. The Negroes of Topeka sould continue to demand the rights guaranteed them by law and ge on buying and building homes. In the Lord's own good time, equality and justice will win. Absolute honesty in all things is what the Negro expects of the white man. The theory that diplomacy is dishonesty does not become the ruling race in dealing with a pared and handicapped com- petitor. Last Sunday, one of Topeka’s eloquent (?) divines, in leading his congregation along the path of rightousness said, in language fit only for the common street arab, ‘It makes me tired."’ In pointing out their place of abade, he tells them to ‘go ’way back and sit down.”’ Such language is only used by those who inhab- it the domains where this slang reigns supreme. Wanted—A good conscienttous leader to ferret out a way to op- en the doors of the print shop, tailor shop, tin shop and other avenues of skilled labor so that the young Negro can earn from $15 to $30 per week as does his white brother. When this is accomplished the young Negro will cease to be a criminal and we will be better equiped for the iis of Christianity and good citizenship. A strong feature on the first page of this paper is an article in defense of the Negro youths by our devil, Clarence E, Lang- ston. It is a strong, forcible argument and one in which the older heads will greatly profit by carefully reading and following the wholesome advice contained therein. Clarance is a bright boy, and we have often said that if he only “‘sticks,’’ a place at the top in newspaperdom awaits him. The most of the ills of our people comes from the saddling on of enormous expense in buy- ing and building expensive church edifices, and maintaining a large number of preachers. In many instances these preachers are quartered on smail congregations, unable financially to bear the burden of properly paying and caring for their pastor. This paper would like to see the return of the good old times when Negro preachers with small charges put in a share of their time raising hogs, chickens and _ produce, thereby lightening the burdens of their congregation.
