THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 1903. Judge A. J. Lee, of Pittsburg, the President of the Negro Voters' League of Kansas, was born in Williamson county, Tennessee, July 15, 1854. He was educated at Fiske University, Nashville, Tenn; married Miss Nettie Arms; emigrated to Kansas in 1879, landing at Baxter Springs, teaching three terms of school in that city; after which he was employed by the Memphis R. R. company as baggage master. In the spring of 1880 he was elected Police Judge of Baxter Springs and was re-elected in 1882, making four years upon the bench. He has held various other positions of trust and honor and is widely known by the leading politicians of his party throughout the country. Judge Lee is a staunch race defender, foremost in the councils of our people and in devising ways and means for the advancement and elevation of the race. The hope, desire and wish of the Judge is that the Negroes of Kansas will organize and become a unit in helping to secure the civil, social and political rights of the Negro. Mr. E, M. Dixon, of Chanute, an attache of the Senate, was born in Robinson county Texas, and came to Kansas in 1879. He completed a course in the high school of his home city in 1893. He is employed in the drug business, and has considerable ability in this line. He is NUMBER 9. Kansas Negro Barbers Want a Place on the Barber Commission Gov. Bailey Will Act Fair and Impartial in Hearing our Demands Colored People Should Write the Governor. gentious gentleman, and when the one comes to make the appoint-ment, we believe he will give the fair and impartial consideration. The colored people all over the state should write the Governor and urge that such an appointment be made. This is the first time in the history of Kansas that the Negroes are asked for such an appointment and we think they ought to have it. OSSIP CONCERNING CANDIDATES. Mr. Frank Blanch, announces himself a candidate for councilman of the 4th ward subject to the Republican primaries. He is now calling the unexpired term of W.S. Shaney. He is a member of the ways and means committee on claims and account; chairman of the building committee; also on the judiciary committee. He is one of the most successful contractors in the west. A stalwart Republican, member of the flambeau club and an up-to-date business man. He has no opposition and should not have any as he is working faithfully for his constituents. Topeka, Kas., Jan. 14, '03. To the Republican voters of the city of Topeka: From expressed satisfaction of the banner in which the duties of City Treasurer have been discharged I am induced to ask for another term of office, and as I can personally see but few of you I take this way of thanking you for past favors and asking your vote at the Republican primary. Having had the experience I can promise the city more efficient and valuable service in the future if nominated and elected. M. M. HALE. Hon. M. M. Hale, who announces himself a candidate for re-election, for City Treasurer, is an old soldier and a stalwart Republican. He has filled the office creditably and to the entire satisfaction of everybody. He is a resident of the North side, and will have the support from that portion of the city. Hon. H. A. Willis, the druggist at 302 E. Fourth street, announces himself as a candidate for city Treasurer subject to the Republican primaries. He has been a resident of the Second ward for several years. He served sixteen years in the army, four of which was active service in the civil war, going in as a private and coming out a lieutenant. He was born in Thomaston, Maine was postmaster there under Grant Hayes and one year under Grover, Cleveland. Served ten months in Andersonville prison, suffering everything but death for the cause of liberty. Mr. Willis is also prominent in the councils of Irwin Lodge, No. 260, A. O. U. W. He says he is a winner and expects to see all the voters before the final day. Hon. Chas. Spencer, the present city attorney announces himself for re-election, subject to the Republican primaries. He is now serving his first term, and as the party always accords a second term, we should not desert him. Mr. Spencer is now in the heat of battle, championing the rights of the people against the waterworks and gas companies. He understands the case, and to change him would be suicide to the city. H. S. Nichols, present Councilman of the 5th ward announces himself as a candidate for re-election, subject to the Republican voters of the 5th ward.

A ‘crisp’ way to treat the Legislature. Some of our clubs are studying Shakespeare. How would it do to study ‘*Shake-a-broom’’— early and often? The Roosevelt policy of giving! the Negro ‘‘a man’s chance’’ and fair treatment has set the world afire. Thank the Lord, out of all these discussions some good always comes to the Negro. We hope the coiored member: of the Legislature will remembet the Editor before leaving tot their various homes. We have permitted them to invade ou ganctnm, put their feet on out desks. consume the time of ow employees in idle gossip and spit tobacco juice over the floor with- out once questioning our increas. ing coal bill and the wear anc tear on our patience. We are not choice. CH PITEOUS SPECTACLE. There are nearly if not quite seven thousand Negroes in To- peka, all more or tess vitally in- terested in the advancement of the rapidly growing metropolis ot Kansas. Statistics issued from “tue Topeka Commercial Club and other reliable sources, tella story of marvelous development along all lines, but more especi- ally in our commercial life. The observing negro has noticed the remarkable improvements in our local retail grocery, dry goods and merchantile firms as well as the increased number of whole- sale houses, all providing em- ployment for the countless num- “ber of boys and girls graduating from our public schools and busi- ness colleges. The Negro's in- terest in these things should be more than passing. About a year ago the editor of this paper proposed and presented to an important gathering of Negroes, astatement showing the volume of business transacted by Negro business men, the capital invest- ed and the number of employees. It was a remarkable exhibit and drew forth many complimentary notices from our daily papers and citizens interested in the up- lift of the race. During the year just closed there has been practically no in. crease inthe number of Negrc business ventures, but there ha: been a marked increase in th amount of capital invested anc the number of employees. Th Negro business man faces a very serious problem in the matter o securing intelligent and interest: ed laborers. There seems to be a well defined disposition amon; Negroes not to give value receiv ed in the way of conscentious la borin return for wages paid whe: inthe employ of men of thei own race. They seem to fee that ‘any old way’’ will do rather than to adopt strictly en ergetic, ‘‘do-all-I-can,"* method which they almost invariabl: follow when their employer chance to be white. There is.

Kansas City, Kas. esas a Tea aa invaluble paper to speak of my special evangelistic work. The Lord was with us and blessed our labor 10 days at Independ- ence with Bro. J. C. Caldwell. His church was ripe fora revival. 55 souls came over on the Lord’s side during my 10 days labor with him and he closed his meet- Jing a week later, with the assist- ance of Sister Howard, with 8c souls taking a decided stand for the Master. Rev. Caldwell is a pulpit orator; a matchless pas- tor. Hehandles his members in a revival like a Napoleon on the battle field. His amiable wife isto him what Naomi was to Ruth. They treated me like a prince while I was their guest. From Independence I was called to Allen Chapel by its able pastor Dr. O. J. W. Scott fora ten days labor. The Lord was with us and when we closed our 10 days labor Dr. Scott in- formed me that 35 souls had ac- cepted Christ and joined his church. Heis a classicsinger and his wife is an able instru- mentalaccompanimentist. They sang many lovely songs. Sister Anna H. Jones, teacher in the high school, attended the meet- ings several nights and offered her services in any way to help push along the Master's cause. She had the pleasure of seeing several of her students converted in the meeting. Dr. Scott is like Cheysoston of old, he would have the world converted to Christ. He and his wife make you feel at home with them. He knows nofailure. I left him tell- ing his members ‘‘the meeting must not stop here, we must have a greater victory."" His large church keeps him busy all thetime. I went with him one night as late as one o'clock to sing and pray with a sick man whom I thought was dying but finally became convalescent. To know Dr. Scott is only to like him. He is affable erudite and a christian gentleman. Feb. 2 at 7:30 1 mounted the iron horse at the union depot on the Chicago & Alton R.

I found his church crowded with people awaiting my arrival. We had an altar meeting and from that the fire began to burn. We closed up our work there Friday night 13th with 20 additions to the churck and several at the anxious seat. Rev.

In the next few weeks, the State Board of Charities will appoint a superintendent for the new Insane asylum at Parsons, Thisisa matter in which every citizen in the state feels deeply interested, and desire this institution to be placed under the supervision of a clean, competent man. Instead of a place of brutality and rough treatmeat, these institu. tions for eur unfortunates should beahaven of rest; a place where they will receive the closest atten- tion of a skilled physician. We know of noman in all Kansas more competent or better fitted for the office than Dr.C. P. Lee, of Linn county; nor is there a physician in the state mote successful in the treatment of epilepsy and other nerv- ous diseases, which a physician would have to treat in an institution of this character, That Dr. Lee's administration of the affairs of this institute would be above reproach is clearly proven by his clean record while holding a similar position at the asylum in Osawatomie. Dr, Lee is not a politician, but a plain, straightforward gentleman,who attends sitrictly to his professtonal duties. He isa veteran of the civil war and a dyed-in-the-wool Repub- lican. The old soldiers of the state are standing by him to a man, and we know of no more fitting recogni- tion for them than by awarding their comrade, whom they endorse, this position. The writer has known Dr, Lee since a mere child, and his every aim and thought has been for the good of humanity. Rain, shine, snow or blow, Dr. Lee can be found plod- ding along some dark road, to admin- ister to some poor unfortunate whom no other physician will treat with- out money, but when they call for “Old Doc Lee” he always responds. His large heart and generous treat- ment of the poor—black or white— will forever stand asa lasting mon- ument to his memory. This is the kind of man for the place—one who has studied humanity and well equip- ped for treating this class of ills. Should the State Board honor him with their confidence they will never see the day when their action will be regretted. Dr. Lee will conduct the institution in a way that will ro- flect credit upon the entire state. Honor the brave defenders of liberty and appoint Dr. Lee.

Editor THe PLAINDEALER, \ Dear Sir: I desre to express a few thoughts on ‘The Incom- petent Negro Teacher.’’ It was my pleasure to attenc the Forum, at the Metropolitar Baptist church in Kansas City, Kansas, at a session to whicl the high school pupils were in- vited. As far as I could learn, the occasion of the special meet- ing grew out of the separate school agitation. The students present were call. ed upon to express themselves ir regard to their treatment at the high school. It was gratifying to note that they were unanimous in being in favor of the present system o! mixed schools and were pleasec with the treatment received. The thought was brought out by them, and isan observed fact that the idle, careless and unpre- pared pupil is the cause of most of thecomplaint. The pupil, let him be white or black, that is good in his studies, has little time and very rare occasion fo, complaint. But the thought that impress- ed me most was a thought pre- sented by a mere boy, though a student of the High school, and the thought received a hearty applause from the audience. In expressing himself, the youth said, he didn't believe there were colored teachers capable of teaching the High school branch- es. Iam not writing a reply to the young man, not at all; but I believe there is something ingrain semelhing deeper, and I fear constitutional, with the Negro child and adult as well, in the above statement. Iwas rather in doubt how to interpret the applause. Whether it was the boy's frankness, for in children frankness is always amusing, or whether he voiced a preconceived judgment of the people. Iam strongly inclined to the latter view of the matter. And this means much to us as a people. The boy gave express- ion to the white man’s stamp upon the Negro brain. There is one thing among many that I admire in the white man and that is, that whatever he touches}bears his brand and his trade mark. And it does not take him long to make hisinfluence felt, let it be here, in Cuba, or the Philip- pines. This is commendable. But unfortunately it means that the races with whom he comes in contact feel that there is noth- ine eamnatanté hint tha whites Cheap Trip In Pullman Tourist Sleepers on fast Santa Fe trains; also FREE CHAIR CARS, in charge ofan experiended passen- ges director, who looks after the comfort of the passengers, points out places of interest, etc. New cars, courteons employes, excellent meals; the cheap and comfortable way to Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Se gorical principle as it isa dive law, except you have faith, (con- dence) neither a mortal peda— gogue nor God himself can do lyou any good. Why do we find in so many of our cities German churches, in which the services are conducted in thatlanguage? If you should visit one of these churches you would find, before exercises be- gin, the majority of them talking English, but when the exercises begin everything is German. They are at liberty to go to any of the English speaking churches but no, they are educated to maintain their racial identity. While attending the Universi- ty of Kansas, just previous to our graduation exercises, 1 asked a white man, a member of the class: ‘‘What, since you know nothing of Greek, would you do if you were to receive word of your election to a position to teach Greek?’ He said: ‘I'd take it.” This is just the spirit that the Negro needs. The young man referred to is going to teach in the Kansas City, Kansas, High school, with whom we attended the same rec- itations in the University of Kan- sas and graduated in the same class. The ability of white men is seldom called into question, but how is it with the Negro? I would say to the colored boys and girls: Wherever it is possi- ble, go to school with the white boy, to the white teacher, until conditions arise where the color- Jed teacher will be given the priv- ilege, for he has the ability, to teach both white and black. Learn all you can and then bring all your information home to your race, Don't stay off there and try to enjoy it with them. They will make things so pleas- ant for you, no pun meant, that you will want to stay, and then we will be inclined to say that you have forgotten your race. Don’t lose your identity. You area Negro yet, though you see out of someone else’s glasses. Have confidence in the race. G. A. Grecc.
