THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. SAINT JOHN'S NEW PASTOR VOLUME V. Hon. W. B. Townsend, of Pueblo, Colo., Writes Concerning the New Pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church. Topeka is Very Fortunate in Securing Rev. Taylor. Dear Sir:I know that the church going people of Topeka are anxious to learn something concerning the pastor who is to succeed Dr. Snelson at St. John's Church in your city. That person is Rev. J. F. Cook Taylor of Pueblo. I shall refrain from fulsome adulation of him, but will allow you to judge for yourselves of his merits. It may not be amiss for me, however, to say that Rev. Taylor is a man of excellent attainments, possesses the happy faculty of making friends and of retaining the respect of all with whom he comes in contact. He is a plain, positive, matter-of-fact man, possessed with enough dignity to conduct himself in a manner which is becoming to the ministry. Rev. Taylor is not arrogant or dogmatic in his religious views, nor is he affected with that fatal disease, commonly called "swell head;" he is honest in his convictions of what he considers to be right and fearless in his advocacy of the same; he takes great pleasure in attending to his own business and not the business of other peoples; he is of a sympathetic disposition and is ready at all times to offer real sympathy, either by words or by deeds to those who are in need of a pastor's sympathy. During Rev. Taylor's pastorate in this city for more than two years he has labored incessantly to clear the church property of its indebtedness. His efforts have been successful beyond the sanguine expectations of his members and co workers, so that today, I believe I can say, that the only Methodist church west of the Missouri River which is out of debt is St. John's A. M. E. church of Pueblo. Rev. Taylor will come to you comparatively a stranger, but he is a man who has gone in and out before the people of this community, against whose character there has not been a suspicion; in fact, he enjoys the most enviable reputation of being a clean man and a Christian gentleman, who is an honor to the race and reflects great credit upon the Methodist church, under whose supervision he presents to the people the plan of salvation. The people of Pueblo know not why the good Bishop has seen fit to make this change; and the order from the Bishop to Rev. Taylor to go to Topeka was as much of a surprise to him as it was to his congregation, who love and respect him for his Christian character, and for the sincerity he manifests in the work in which he is engaged. If the good people of Topeka who are known tor their cordiality and hospitality and who are always ready and willing to welcome in their midst a deserving and worthy preacher, will improve the opportunity to become acquainted with Rev. Taylor and his estimable wife and two interesting little boys and give to their new pastor the support and encouragement, which he will need in his efforts to serve the Methodist church at Topeka, I am sure that when the time comes for Rev. Taylor to leave Topeka the people there will regret as much to have him leave them as the people of Pueblo regret to have him leave them. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, permit me say, by way of explanation, that the above and foregoing characterization of Rev. Taplor, who is to be the new pastor of St. John's A.M.E. church at Topeka, is made by one who has never been a member of any church, but who was reared under Christian influences and whose limited knowledge of letters, coupled with a special profession, has not prevented me from being a regular attendant at chnrch, which fact has enabled me to cultivate the acquaintance of the ministers and to learn of their moral and religious worth to their respective communities. A little over half a dozen states—Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, North Carolina, Maryland, Alabama and Virginia, to place them in the order in which they have acted—have abolished the Negro as a voter, or have attempted to do it. Kentucky proposes to join this roll. One of Shelby county's representatives in the legislature has framed a bill, to be introduced in the coming session, which he believes will remove the black man as a political factor in succeeding canvasses. The measure has been framed under the direction of the leaders of the Democracy in Kentucky, and as its members, high and low, are opposed to all election laws which leave anything to chance—that is, leave any chance for the Republicans to win, even if they get a majority of the votes—there can be no doubt that it will be enacted. Do the Kentucky Democratic leaders fear Negro domination? In 1900 there were 1,852,000 whites and 284,000 blacks in Kentucky. There were seven times as many whites as blacks in Kentucky that year. Moreover, the lead of the whites is steadily and rapidly lengthening. While the whites increased 17.1 per cent from 1890 to 1900, the increase among the Negroes was only 6.2 per cent. The rate of expansion of the whites in Kentucky is almost three times as great as that of the blacks. And yet the Democratic bosses of that state pretend to believe they are some how in danger of Negro supremacy. If the Democratic politicians of the South want to make their assault on the black voters of the country unanimous the Republicans will cheerfully meet them on that line. Race and sectional politics is not to the Republican taste, but the Republicans will accept the issue if it is forced upon them. By making the South solid for the effacement of an element of the voters which is protected by the laws, the North will become solid in defense of that right. The south has a power in the government grotesquely disproportionate to the vote which it casts. If it attempts to increase this disportion, and thus to discriminate farther against the states which allow every man to vote who has a right to do it under the law, it must expect some antagonistic action from the rest of the country. The race issue, if it be put forward in 1904, will give the Republicans a longer lead in the electoral college in that year than they had in 1900. —Globe-Democrat. NOTICE! To the Knights and Daughters of Tabor Greeting: I am truly glad to tell you that the Jurisdiction is doing nicely and growing slowly but firmer; its good work is felt more for good and its benefits are broadening as time passes. We are pleased to say that we have one new Temple, one new Tabernacle and one Tent since the Grand Session. This shows that our deputies are still organizing and pushing the order to the front. While the order is on its onward march we must remember that as long as we stand by the rules of the order we will succeed. Yet we bow in humble submission to Him that doeth all things for good for those that put their trust in Him. Death TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 27, 1903. has visited the following Tabernacles and taken from us our much beloved members and left relatives and the members to mourn their loss: Tabernacle No. 10, Lawrence; Tabernacle No. 77, Topeka; Tabernacle No. 15, Weir City; Tabernacle No. 37, Atchison all of Kansas; and TabernacleNo. 91, of Omaha Nebraska, and Temple No. 3. of Atchison Kansas. Yet we say praise God from whom all blessings flow. I am glad to tell you that we have ordered each claim paid at $75 each. The above speaks for itself. The Grand Temple and Tabernacle at its last session asked that each member give as a free donation from each member of this Jurisdiction 15 cents and the money thus collected to be divided with our members that lost their earthly possessions in the flood last May. To this date only a few have responded to the request, and those numbers with whom the money is to be divided only two Temples have answered the call. Now it will soon be time for the Board of Grand Curators to meet and divide this money between our distressed members, and we want all Temples and Tabernacles to give something before we publish the names of those Numbers that give to help our needy members. The attention of the C. M's. and C. P's. is called to the manual page 137, and you will see that your quarterly reports must be sent to the C. G. M. on time as they are needed the first of December Please state on your reports the amount of money paid on property. The Jurisdiction is in a good healthy condition. Yours for Christ and Tabor. REV. FRANK. WILSON. C. G. M. W. V. BOARD MEETS! They Hear Report of the President and Treasurer of the Trustee Board—Discuss Other school Matters. EDIDOR PLAINDEALER, Dear Sir:—The trustee board of Western University met Nov. 11 at the call of Bishop C. T. Shaffer. The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing reports from the president of the school, and the treasurer of the trustee board; also to investigate the needs of the school and the betterment of its condition, if possible. The report made by President Vernon showed the largest enrollment in the history of the school, the enrollment being 109, and from letters coming in to him, he estimates that the attendance will reach 130 by the first of the year. Dr. G. H. Shaffer, treasurer of the trustee board, submitted the best report that has ever been made,which places the board in a good financial condition. Bishop Shaffer is to be congratulated upon the splendid work done by and under him since he became bishop of the fifth Episcopal district. There has been a continual growth and development along all lines. President Vernon is ably a sisted in the work by an able faculty. The trustee board transacted some very important business, which will help the school. Those in attendance were Bishop C T Shaffer, chancellor, chairman; Prof W T Vernon, president; Dr G H Shaffer, treasurer; Dr D P Roberts, Revs. F J Peck, J W Braxton, J D Barksdale, M S Bryant, R H Longdon, J R Ransom, H Barnette, and James H Crews, secretary. President Vernon is having uniforms made for the students of the school. The girls' uniforms are being made Mrs S Gross, who teaches sewing, and the boys' uniformg are being made by Mr E M Bates, who teaches tailoring. MISSOURI VALLEY TEMPLARS MEET! The Finest Turn-out Ever Witnessed in all Kansas. The Parade and Grand Review Was a Night Never Before Witnessed in Kansas--The Missouri Valley Templars Have Set the Face for the West. The Missouri Valley Templars Association met in the Capital city of Kansas on Thanksgiving day in its eighth annual conclave and the finest street parade ever seen in Topeka was witnessed by thousands of spectators all along the line of march. Dress parade was held on Harrison street, the first one ever seen by the Knights Templars in Kansas. Perfect military arrangements were observed in every particular by the five commanderies participating in the parade, including Cyrene Commandery No. 3, Topeka, Sir Wm Reynolds, captain-general; COTSWOLF BAY THE PRIZE CUP. Emanuel Commandery No. 25, Kansas City, Sir P. C. Kincade, captain-general; Northwest Commandery No. 6, St. Joseph, Mo., Sir Gentry Carpenter, captain-general; Far West Commandery No. 3, Kansas City, Mo., Sir W. H. Lewis, captain-general, and Mt. Oread Commandery No. 14, Lawrence, Sir John W. Clark, captain-general, comprising two hundred plumed knights. The parade was led by Jackson's famous Twenty-third Kansas Infantry band and the citizens who witnessed the procession were startled by the grand display and surprised at the showing being made by the colored Knights in this country. The ladies' banquet held at 618 Kansas avenue at high noon was attended by the largest and most cultured number of ladies that ever assembled in a banquet hall, and some of the best papers ever prepared were read by the following ladies: Welcome address by Mrs. Mary E. Ridley, mistress of ceremonies, Topeka; response, by Mrs. J. M. Trent, St. Joseph, Mo.; "Our Women's Work," by Mrs. Evelyn Baldwin, Kansas City, Mo.; "Needs of Our Women," by Mrs. H. H. Walker, St. Joseph; "Our Sir Knights," by Mrs. Etta E. McKnight, Topeka; "Why We Are Here," by Mrs. Anna Cole, Kansas City; "Our Star," by Mrs. D. L. Wadlington, Lawrence. The Knights Templar banquet at the same hall from 5 to 7:30 was imposing and unique. The papers read by the several distinguished Knights had the desired effect. Over two hundred were seated around the fastal board The following are the papers read, following the welcome address by Sir W.H.Jones, master of ceremonies: "Symbolism of the Cross," by Sir A. R. Harris, Kansas City; "The Modern Crusader," by Sir W. R. Burns, St. Joseph; "The Templar and His Mission," by Sir S. G. Watkins, Topeka; "Our Ladies," by Sir G. A. Roberts, Kansas City; "The Pilgrim Warrior," by Sir J. W. Clark, Lawrence; "Our Fraternal Dead," by Sir J. Hume Childers, Topeka; "St. Louis, 1904," by Chas. W. Prentice, M.E.G.C., St. Louis; "The Kansas Jurisdiction," by J.M. Mason, M.E.G.C., Topeka. A procession was formed at the hall and the Knights marched to the Auditorium where an audience of over fifteen hundred people witnessed the grand display drill by the above named commanderies, excepting Lawrence, for the prize cup, a handsome gold lined silver cup, which was won by Emanuel Commandery of Kansas City, though Cyrene Commandery of Topeka, under Captain-General Reynolds gave a hard pace for the others to follow. The judges were Col. James Beck of Lawrence; Sir J. L. Miner and Sir M. W.Love of Kansas City, Sir C. H. Henderson of St. Louis, and Sir W. H. Jones of St. Joseph. This was the first prize offered for a drill contest in the eight years of the meeting. Mt. Oread of Lawrence did not enter the prize drill for the reason that the drill team has only been organized in the past three months, but Col. Beck is grooming them for prize winners at the next meeting. LINCOLN INSTITUTE. There is possibly in no other school of its size and character in the country, the work and discipline which receive such constant and patient supervision at the hands of its administrative head as is given Lincoln Institute by President Allen. Rarely absent from the grounds and buildings more than a few hours at a time, although calls for his presence are numerous from both without and within the state, he gives a great amount of time and oversight not only to the work of his special department—Pedagogy—but also to the careful supervision of the work of each department; and, keeping in personal touch with the work of each instructor, creates and stimulates in both teacher and student that spirit of friendly rivalry which is the very soul of intelligent progress in all lines of work, and all stages of symmetrical development. Possessed of untiring .energy himself, and capable of a vast amount of work in the course of twenty-four hours, he is persistently and surely bringing Lincoln Institute to the front as a school that stands for exceptionally high grade scholarship, careful and conscientious endeavor on the part of both teachers and students. A number of the members of the Faculty have joined the French class organized and taught by President Allen and excellent progress is being made in the study of "La langue Française." WHITE HAS BEEN DREAMING Rev. H. W. White, pastor of the B Street Baptist church, has had a dream. It was one of those peculiar dreams and came at a very opportune time. He read an article in THE PLAINDEALER last week and immediately went off into a trance. He saw and did things which are so absurd that it is doubtful if Rev. White himself really believes what he dreamed. Nevertheless, the dream made such an impression upon him that he related his dream to his congregation at church last Sunday morning. He tried to arouse enthusiasm of his congregation by telling of his supposed vision, but the congregation would not enthuse. His congregation was too wise for him and his dream vanished into the thin air of which it was made. "I dreamed last night," said Rev. White, "that I went to heaven. I saw God there. I also saw Jesus. I attempted to pass by God so as to go to Jesus, but God called me back. I told God that I wanted to see Jesus, but God said to me, 'Come back.' I did not do it for I thought that once in heaven was never out and that I could do as I pleased. God spoke to me and said, 'Have you turned those members out of the church who have been giving you so much trouble?' I told him I had only turned one of them out. 'Go back,' said God, 'and turn them out.' I then woke up." If Rev. White really believes in his dream, then it is his duty to do as the dream says and turn out all offending members. If he does not do this then he will have to report to God and tell Him why he did not turn them out. Further, if his dream is true, then the Son of God must have made a great mistake when He endowed St. Matthew to write the XVI chapter of His gospel. In this Christ has laid down the discipline of all churches, beginning with the XV verse of this chapter. It is very evident to the reader that the Rev. White was as disorderly in heaven as he has been in his church, for even in heaven he refused to obey Gods commands. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream once. He saw a great image set up with a golden head. He thought it meant a great honor for himself, but when the dream was interpreted, Nebuchadnezzar found that it meant the downfall of his kingdom. Belteshazzar had a dream and saw the hand writing on the wall in the banquet hall. He thought it meant great things for himself, but when it was interpreted he found his kingdom was divided and he himself was slain on his throne. Rev. White has had a dream. He professes to have seen great things, but the interpretation of his dream is yet to come. If the interpretation of Rev. White's dream follows out the same line as that of the dreams above mentioned, then Rev. White had better look out. I am proud to say that God has sent many good men into the state who are here to preach the Gospel as it should be preached and not put here to stir up trouble and destroy the ve-y vitality of the church. Such men as the late W. L. Grant and the late P. W. Barker, whose places have been filled by such men as Rev. Robert Mitchell, of Kansas City, Rev. Fishback of Shiloh church, Topeka, and Rev. S. M. Hall, of Wichita Such men stand in direct contrast both in action and deed to the Rev. H. W. White. They try to uplift the church while Rev. White NUMBER 47. t Race Prejudice. EN DREAMING Mr. Henderson Takes up Rev. White's Dream and Shows How Foolish Some People Can Talk Mr. Henderson Thinks the "Dream" an Imposition Upon the People's Intelligence seems to want to destroy and tear down. It is very evident by Rev. White's actions that he is fast realizing that he is losing the confidence not only of his congregation, but of the better class of people throughout the state. He has made a bitter fight on me in particular and on the conscientious members of his congregation in general, but this fight has been a losing one for him because he has no grounds on which to fight. He has failed in all his schemes which he has concocted, one after another, and now he finds himself at the end of his string. He has at last resorted to dreams as a means of convincing the people and his congregation that he is right in this fight. Dreams are all right in their way but the day for dreams has passed and the man who expects to convince the people by dreams or expects to enter heaven by means of dreams instead of by doing right and by living right will get left, just as Rev. White will get left. It is God's word, "Woe unto the Shephard who scatters the Flocks." A. H. HENDERSON, 1104 E. Eighth St. WICHITA. WICHITA Mrs. Thos. Cox who has been quite ill, is improving.

Among those who spent the day in Topeka Thanksgiving were Miss Vera Lindsay, Katherine Harris, W. C. Brown, William Parks, Victoria Miller and Lena Smith. For once in the history of Kansas, the spirit of God has moved upon the hearts of the law interpeters and the poor Negro has been given a moiety of the rights guaranteed him under the constitution. A few weeks ago the school board of Coffeyville proceeded to inaugurate the "Jim Crow" school system and crowded the handful of Negro children into a seperate building. The Negroes very properly rebelled and carried the fight to the Supreme Court and have won. THE Methodist Episcopal church will wrestle with the Negro bishop question. In order to avoid the election of a Negro, they may adopt the restrictive district. No Negro bishop this time! THERE needs be no further occasion for considering the joint question in Topeka. Mayor Bergundthal has sent Golf to the rear and placed the business in the hands of a novice. Now the Daily Herald will have a chance to roast Mac. SENATOR GORMAN is seeking to inject the race question into the coming national campaign. With the Washington-Roosevelt dinner party fresh in the minds of the people, and the unusual interest manifested in the doings of the Negro, there is a good hope in the mind of this astute politician, that the country will divide over a dinner party. The Negro will be but a small item in the campaign. With a multitude of questions of much graver import to the nation, there is no occassion for the Negro becoming a foil for Democratic weakness and incapacity. The record of President Roosevelt upon the Negro question as upon all other questions, is without fault. There may have been errors of judgment, but his heart is right. WHAT ever is is right, and the truth will harm nobody; so it is but fair to give credit where credit is due. But our friends, the white Americans, in their histories, mention our acts of worthy achievements in the category with their own and thereby confound the future generations as to the identity of the author. All the deeds of valor and bravery, scientific discoveries and inventions by our people are recorded, but the credit is given to the man and not the race. In this manner future generations will be cheated out of a full knowledge of the facts. But, just to the reverse, we find that when a Negro commits an unworthy or disgraceful act—anything to dis- Hair to match all Complexions.

Ladies desiring to purchase a Beautiful Purse at actual wholesale price, will do well to examine the large sample line—over roo different styles—in Russia Leather, Walrus, Monkey, Snake, Alligator, Morocco, etc. Mr. Lee purchased this sample line at a large discount from whole sale figures, and will sell them at 50 per cent. less than retail dealers ask for the same articles. Messrs. Sells and Downs, owners of the Sells-Downs circus, are now in their winter quarters in this city. Their animals are now quartered in a large stone building at the rear of Mr. Sells' fine residence on Quincy street. They have been transferred to other cages. The circus netted a large profit for the owners, and they came in with much larger circus than they went out with. They will spend several thousand dollars in Topeka this winter for the maintenance of the animals, and repairing and painting for next season. General T. Odell, one of Topeka's most highly respected young men, who has lived in Topeka 26 years, died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. J. M. Rivers, November 19, after an illness of four weeks.

The Odd Fellows, of which he has been a member for 20 years, was in charge of the services. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Bell Porter and Mrs. J. M. Rivers, and two brothers, John H. Odell and William Odell of Colorado Springs, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Are you a smoker? Buy your Cigars at low box price at Lee's drug store. H. J. Washington and Walter Ware and their wives, who are located on the 12-acre farm just one mile and a half south of town, bid fair to make a small fortune in the next few years. These young men and their wives occupy one large dwelling containing six rooms, all modern furnished; one cow barn and stable, two chicken corrals, one small cow ranch, with about thirty head of blooded hogs. weighing up to 350 pounds, over 150 Plymouth Rock chickens, four head of milk cows, one acre of raspberries, gooseberries blackberries and other fruits, a fine alfalfa patch, tons of cane, clover and millet and pumpkins on the vine. A nice, living stream of water runs through the property, and about 20 fine walnut trees that make a beautiful shade, and, in fact, this is one of the best equipped farms owned by a colored man in Kansas. They are putting all of their spare time and money to make this farm equal any in the West. We would that more of our young colored men who are throwing their money away with the "smart set" by giving balls and spending their money for useless things, would follow their example. A drive to their farm is a treat to anyone. We have in our office two ears of corn measuring eleven inches, with seventeen rows of corn; it is the finest corn to be seen anywhere.

The people of Topeka held him and his family in high esteem. His estimable wife is of great assistance to him, and did much in organizing church work and putting on plays which made the church a neat sum of money.

ANNOUNCEMENT, On this date the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Com- pany assumes charge of the line formerly known as the Ozark & Cherokee Central Railway, ex- tending westwardly from Fayette- ville, Ark., to Okmulgee, I. T., a distance of 143.9 miles. | As will be noted by reference to the map, this line forms a connecting link between our Central Division and the Red River District. Aside. however, | from the convenience of this connection, the road penetrates a section offering excellent op- portunities to those in search of a new location, either from a commercial or farming stand- point. Fayetteville, its start- ing point, is located in one of the best portions of the Ozark fruit belt, and the line will open, to the west of that place, a country whose ability to produce apples, peaches and other fruits has already been demonstrated, jand whose prosperity and rapid development is, since the estab- lishment of railway communi- teations, assured. Passing through the ‘‘Land of the Big Red Apple,’’ the line enters the Indian Territory, near Westville, crossing the Cherokee Nation, and traversing the Creek Nation, a country that has late- ly attracted attention all ove: the United States by reason o, Congressional legislation permit. ting the acquirement therein, by outsiders, of Indian allotments. The Creek Nation is known tc possess as great (if not greater, proportion of available land tc square mile as any other of the Indian reservations that have been opened to white settlement. The character of its soil and climate is almost identical with that ef Oklahoma. Wheat, corn and cotton grow side by side, and all yield crops calculated to astonish, by their abundance and excellence, farmers from the older states. A number of the towns shown in the appended list are of recent birth, and all are in a condition of rapid and substantial develop- ment. Business openings of all sorts are to be encountered on every hand, for the man with large or small capital—in many cases for the man with no capital.
