It isa common everyday occurence to find young Negroes when congre- gated discussing matters that are of no benefit to anybody. Invariably ahey are discussing the imperlection of the white man or his greatness. Discussions of this nature are more or less among the intelligent and advanced Negro, who never con eeives an idea of sore business hereby he could give employment to himself and other members of the race. If he isn't discussing the white mau, he is finding fault with some Negro who would tike to do something if he had the assistance ‘of some Negro who is well qualified. We have another class of men, especially the young set, that talk nothing but “craps and bis gal.” He talks poker only when a few eaperts are present who stagger at Wiviag from their winnings. | We seldom ever hear the average Negro talking enterprise with serious con- sideration; if he did more of them would be in evidence. He never, prognocticates any good for a mem- ber of the race in any new busi- ness venture. It is a characteristic of the race to try and chill any enterprise that one may try to foster if he is not considered in the deal, his etock in trade being wind and gab. We have another class who claim to Le politicians, and from what source they gain such ideas, we are at a loss to know. They stand around, look wise and pretend to know the issues of the day. They never know whatis on the political checker board until the men are in the king row. They get the most of their information from a white boss and were never known to formulate a plan whereby eome of them will land at the pie counter when their side is in the saddle. Iavariably they “stall” after an office or position alter everything has been promised or planned for. Parents are too careless about the going and coming of their children; they are allowed too much liberty without being questioned; they are permitted to associate with too many different characters without finding out sumething about their condition and standing. Too many idle young men of our race are eucuuraged by their parents. If they would cease housing and feeding them, and let them bunt their food like an ox they would work study and support themselves if not their aged parents, It is as hard to get the ear of the average young Negro as itis fur a camel to enter through the eye of the needle spoken of in the scripture, There is plenty of opportunities for those who push and strive for a place in life, but the man who stands back and waits to be asked to accept 2 responiible position, will be badly fooled—there are too many men eager and longing for a chance. We remember when the lines were tightly drawn against the black man on railroad work. What do we sec now? Colored men in the A. T. & S. F, foundry, and we had the pleasure of seeing a young colored Doy checking in the store house few days ago. In conversation with Mr. Rice the general store xeeper one day this week, he said that it made no dif ference to him when it came to work that tlack and white men Jook jus! the same to him, and he is ¢ Southern gentleman, but we can be! on him giving colored people em ployment for this class of Souther white men always stand by the Negro when it comes to giving hin work, Tae Praisveater will alway ecnend that the white man is to: much one-sided on the color questio: and allows his weakness to ove this thinking it will add to his standing in the community, We shall also endeavor from time to time to show our race their short comings in paying any attention to a fool white man who discriminates on account of color. Go ahead, out scheme him; don’t be prejudiced or use any towards him; get the dollars; use good sense; act as though he wesn't on earth; quit complaining to him like a child to its mother; fight for yours and those who de- pend upon you. This world owes everybody a living, and they must earn it in some honest way, ar go to the penitentiary. Our girls must learn to be more useful. Our mothers are trying to rear them higher than their means or resources, Learn to wash, iron, cook, eew, clean howe, play piano, use good language, tell the truth, stop gussiping, stop imitating other people in dressing and trying to be more than you really are. Keep the girls off of the street; no girl should be permitted to loaf the stfeets look: ing for boys. Send them to Sunday school, instruct them not to stop or the street corners talking to some fopish boy. Always ask them where they are going, and if they fail tc return at the proper hour, investi gate and find out where and why they were detained. Whenever your boy wilfully lie and disobeys, take him into th back yard, let down his euspender and administer a sound whipping Find something for him to do; key him away from the opera house unless you go with him or see tha lhe is in good company. I Let us take on a determines ee and do something. G and ask for these places; don’ stand on the street and howl “no use a Negro can't land that job,” bu Jit sou are refused, try again, an study some plan to getit, We hav too many timid Negroes among u when it comes to facing a whit man. Let us quit this backwardnes and we will move faster in life anc = Quit talking aonsense an ido business, Mex Cnives. A CATHOLIC STUDENT WRITES Aulnteresting Letter That Should be Se- sfoUsly: Considerea iy the Nenee: Mr, Eviror:—It}waa with the great- est enthsiaem that I devoured the con: tents of your excellent journal. Sir, it is with tears that I have lamented the condition of our race and that none of our many papers save yours seems to see that our only hope as a race isin the Catholic church. Why can’t some of our journalists see this, orrather, study the subject? You are making a mark which shall enroll you on the list of the famous as the real redcemer ot the Negro, if your ‘energies continue, ‘There can be no unity neither socially, educationally, politically, financially nor otherwise until there is. a sub-stratum of relige ‘ious unity. You are aware, Sir, that we have spent enough money in dif- ferent denominations’ churches, in religious fights and contentions, in bitter educational oppositions, and separated ourselves all as a result of religious prejadice and hundreds of religious factions, sufficient indeed to put the race on a firm financial basis with our own railroads and street cars. We could have advanced ten- fold in our educational institutions if we had been all this time possessed of religious unity so that educational and all other points of unity would necessarily follow, Then, too, would not the Catholic church, which can not be conquered, have espoused our cause as she did that of the Filipinos and so bring equality and justice to all within her fold? Ishall bring out in a paper soon the many reasons why the only hope temporarily for our race is in the Catholicchurch. The spiritual ben- efit is of course paramount and above all, but itis the social side { shall deal with, Iam here working over the cuuditious of my despised race, for whom I am ready to give every ‘drop of my blood, and hastening my course to the priesthood, tor as a convert I have seen both sides, but there must be some brave, courag- jeous journalist who will be active in ia pen and labor to bring this betore eee Fh PA. - ese - . . was what our people think it is, I would surely beits strongest enemy, but I know if they understood the real teaching and glory of the church_| they would rush into it as an entire racs. Itis not impossible to bring the entire race into the church if the right methods are used. Our race has all the clements of a most intel- Ictual, shrewd, religious and in every waya most powerful race, which would sweep all of its difficulties be- fore it ifthese elements were properly applied in union with and ynder the master hand of the mighty Catholic church. This is the only hope for! us; other solutions have and will re- peatedly prove failures. Here is a college and seminary opened to colored Catholics as well as white, all on equality, and only two ofus here, The way is opened and there are thousands of young colored men of greater intellect and natural ability, of exemplary piety and earnestness, of good health, who are ready to do and die for their race and th glory of God. But, alas! they are sadly misinstructed of the Catholic church, where they can be most useful to God and the salvation ot the race. It there are young men, even if they are Protestants at present, who are really good men, lovers of God and his truth, of good health usually, having a common echool education of an average normal course, and |who desire to glorify God and save his race, and is willing to forsake all the vanities of the world, such as fast society, etc, here is the place for him, if he desires to gtve his life tc true religion. We need stalwar {colored men to make stalwart mis: |sionaries. It he is the right kind oj /young man, not over sixteen no | under thirty, expense is no hindrance ‘|whatever, let him apply.

T., June 7,—Alfred Lee, a respectable freedman, whose home is in this city, aud fve of his children were drowned this morning two miles north of here while grying to cross a slough of backwater from the Arkansas river in a wagon, The two oldest of the children drowned were young women, the others being boys whose ages ranged from 15 to 20 years. They were trying to reach % cottou field which the famly has been cultivating. The father waa driving and supposed the water was shallow when the team suddenly stepped into a depth of fifteen feet. ‘The wagon bed was lifted from the bolsters and overturned, catching all the occupants under it, The horses were rescued a few minutes later by some white men and the liteless bodies of the victims brought to Muskogee. Just half of the Lee family is left. ‘The surviving members are five small children and the mother. The bodies of the victims will be buried tomorrow,—Kansas City Journal, Mr. Lee has visited Topeka and has a number of friends who mourn with the bereaved wife and children. ‘Lie Lee family was quite wealthy, each of the children owning 160 acres of the finest land in the territory. A CLEOPATRA Ui THE NEGRO RACE! A Millionare Had to Come to the Black Race to Find Her. HE GAVE HER $700,000! Dir, Platt, New ork Milionare Finds “Wecigr manny penn co ‘Trying to Say hele Crazy, John R, Platt, the octogenarian! millionsire, who alleges that Hannah | Ehas bled him of nearly $700,000, was a prisoner in his home last week, He had talked too frankly about his relations with the octoroon, and his family made him stay in the house where reporters could not reach him. Mrs. Elias was a prisoner in her home, facing Central Park, for de- tectives wers on watch outside wait- ing to serve papers in the legal ac- tion begun by Mr. Piatt to recover his money. At last Mrs. Elias, through her attorney, offered to ac- cept service on condition that Mr. Platt’s attorney withdraw the injunc-' tion proceedings which have tied up all the money she has in the banks. Mrs. Elias had led a remarkable life in her mansion, according to Mra, Belle Marshall, a white woman, who was her housekeeper for three yeare. “She used to give big dinner parties in her house to her servants, black and white and yellow,” said Mrs. aes today. These dinners would be conducted with all the form and ceremony of the real affairs until the liquor got to circulating. “It was one of her delusions that |she was like Cleopatra, in her bou- doir she had a scented fountain, and when a Cleopatra spasm got over her she would dress servants in Egyptian costumes aud have them fan her and dance for her, as she had heard the |servants for Cleopatra did. “Nothiug gave ber more delight than to humiliate a white woman. I have seen her hire white servants and after a few days call them to her Jand dress them up and hang jewelry all overthem. Then she would order them to go out and show themselves | to the people, but as soon as they got to the door her servants would take away the clothes and jewelry. “She got many begging letters, and I don't think shz ever failed to an- |swer them. Whenever she would get a letter from some person who said he had a starving family, she would } run to the telephoue and order one o! the big grocery houses to send $roo worth of provisions.”” The above transaction goes tc prove that the white people of these United States are not as scared of colored people as their journal: || would have us believe, Now, look | at old man Platt, reared and nurtured Jin taxury, surrounded with wealth | and culture, has met the most beau- }tiful women of his race and after |Jyears of research among his womer for a Cleopatra, he had to come to |the race that actually has plenty of ]Cleopatras, This Mr. Platt is a highly educated gentleman, and /having read of the captivating beauty of the Egyptian Cleopatra, |who was an African, he knew the {last resort was in the colored race '|so he rambled in greater New York -|until he found Sirs. Elias, who was Jin her teens when he first met her. | He at once became infatuated with her and spent his money lavishly to ‘lentertain her, and kept it up for s}years, When the old man began to )| grow weak and infirm like old King Solomon, he could not love and ‘|caress Hannah as he did when firs 2) they met, he being several years her |senior. He had her prepare 2 | fountain of Flerida water beside a beautifal decorated skifl, amid palms | lilies and flowers . every discription, Jin the afternoon Hannah would appear before his lordship with a1 »}escort of beautiful maidens arrayed Jin Oriental costumes, displaying :|their beautifal and shapely form which added grandeur to the “Gar Gen of Eden” over which Mr, Platt was to preside as the Adam. To see beautiful Mrs. Elias’ curved figure reposing on her side, where the sweet waters fiom thé fountain ‘would flow, gently dropping on those shapely forms and sendiog forth fragrant smells to mingle with the sweet fumes of the flowers. What a Picture! Hannah, to him the most beautiful of all women, smiling upon the old man, with her hands care- lessly buried in a great bank df pond lilies, and as the sweet echoes ofetringed instruments inspired his soul—he was young again, falling upon hia knees beside tha fair Hannah, the old man sang as in |days of yore: “I love you as I loved you, when you was sweet. when you was sweet, sateen.” With all these luxuries and a beautiful woman to pose like the great queen who captured Marc Antony, seven hundred thousand is not much for a man who had the money, to enjoy sach. It was a source of pleasure to him. He raised this beautiful woman to his hand and had he let her alone, probably she would have lived a different life. Now, let the old man have his final ending by providing for thi woman who has spent the best day: of her life with him. It is cruel foi the white people to say that he ha: Jost his mind, and it is only done ou of a fear that he will bequeth som of his wealth to this woman. Oh how mada white man geta when ; Negro makes loves to or wins one o his women, but he never complain about themselves loving colore women only when some rich mai like Platt, whom they think will giv his dusky sweet heart all of his gol |Be fair, let every race have thei share. Nick Cures. WE BID HIM WELCOME. Dr. A C. Briscoe, the popular den- tist, who opened his dental parlors at 111 East Sixth street, something over five weeks ago, is enjoying good business and is giving entire satistac- tion to his customers. His patron- age is almost balanced between the whites and culored. He came here practically a strang. er, but quickly learned the ways of Topeka people, and began to culti- vate their friendship. He has proven himselt worthy in every respect, aud merits the tion’s share of businessand is bound to have it. Dr, Briscoe is a Missourian by birth, self-made, having worked his way through the schools and colleges. He came to make his permanent home in Kansas, where sunflowers and ag pretty maids are plentitul for those whore minds are made up before they come. He has the best equipped dental parlors in the West. For neatness none can exccl him, He is the first colored dentist to locate in Kansas. He 1s a graduate of Lincoln institute, Jefferson City, Mo., having completed the scientific course in 1898. He attended Mebarry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., and in 1903 was with Dr. R. H. Voor- hees in the demonstrating department. He graduated from that famous in- stitution in dentistry in 1904, and was valedictorian of iis class. The following classmates of Dr. Briscoe received the degree of D. D. S. with him: F. C. Goodwin, Ark- ansas; J, R. Hamilton and R. R. Hawes, Georgia; J. J. Johnson, Tenn.; RE. Jones, S. Carolina; W. E. Lacy, Mississippi; Piet Rigeling, South America and M. B, Williams, Texas. Allof the above-named are doing well. If these gentlemen are half as industrious as their colleague, Dr. Briscoe, life's battles, so far as patronage is concerned, are success- fully over. . - “WHITE AND BLACK ALIKE” vournal is an interview with Altred Lovell, superintendent of motor power of the great Santa Fe System and if trueis the proper thing at the] Proper time, and the Santa Fe has the proper man in the prope. place. Now let the young colored men take advantage of this and make application for helpers and other jobs around the shops, and be con- tent with small wages until they can learn a trade. We also wish that men of our race in Alabama, Georgia and other Southern states’ who know the machinists trade would make application to the Santa Fe with the understanding that they ‘will take a forge with colored helpers and keep up their part of the work. Make this request to General Man- eger H, U. Mudge or Mr. Lovell, superintendent of motor powsr.

Mbt cme ene La negas of the strike We've Gouched His Weak Spot! We are in receipt of 2 communi- cation from the pastor of Zion Chap- el M. E. church of Ft. Scott, Kansas, who complains of an article some- time ago published in which we claim Superintendent Lovell, of the Great Santa Fe System Says Blacks Will Be Treated the Same as Whites by the Company Now is the Time for {Blacks to Ask for Positions. that his general conference at Los Angeles, Cal. had elected no bishop, and to all intents and purposes this is true. The election of Rev. Scott asa missionary bishop only carries with it the power to act in some cer- tain fields of missionary work pre- scribed by the general conference. He is not « superintesding bishop and could not take the place ofa Bishop should there be a vacancy through sickness or death or other reasons. He would not be allowed to preside over an annual conference in the United States on such occa- sions, and should he resign as a mis- sionary bishop he would be assigned. toa position as local preacher, pre~ siding elder or some other official position of the church other than that ofa bishop, and therefore this will answer the gentleman in Ft. Scott who has been Jaboring under a mis- apprehension, thinking that the white M, E. church had recognized a Negro as bishop. This is nothing more than a presiding eldership in the United States, and he only exercises authority in some of the islands on the coast. The letter reads as follows: Ft. Scott, Kans, May 28, 1904. To Tue Pratxpeacer:—I noticed Jan article in your paper of May 27, 1904, speaking sympathetically of the 300,000 Negroes in the M. E, '| church, saying they had no bishops yet. We wish to call attention tothe | fact that Rev. I. B. Scott, D. D. ed- itor of the Southwestern Christian || Advocate, of New Orleans, La., is a |colored man, and was elected mis- |sionary bishop. Please acknowledge |this through the columns of your '| paper since you have taken the posi- tion to make mention of the eight white general superintendents elected | by the present general conference at | Los Angeles. | The election of Dr. Scott shows that the Negroes of the M. E. church have recognition, and not only does the election of Dr. Scott show their | recognition, but, if you please, look at the geueral officers of the church who are paid high salaries for their ‘|services according to their ability, '| viz: Mason, Penn, Jones and others, And, dear sir, this article does not ask recognition by the church of our choice, for that we have, but we do ask it of Tae PLaispeaLer. RIGHT MAKES MIGHT! D. E. Caldwell Contelbutes am Excellent “Artiele to m Arknasas Paper. Below we publish an article which appeared in the Osceola (Ark.) Press under the caption of “Right Maxes Might.” This has a strong meaning and its definition, if proper- ly understood and adherred to by the white people would have a strong tendency to make them recogn’ze the Negro as aman, and when he is measured by that standard and comes up to the requirments, he ought to be looked upon as the equal of any man irrespective of color. When a person is right they have the strong power of concession to back them. They may be thwarted for awhile, but right will rise in its might ana crash wrong to earth. D. E.

Let him get on the train and go into the Southland and he will find that his wealth and intelligence (evidences, by the way, of individ- ual development) will not keep him outof the Jim Crow car and pre vent the humiliation of other insults any more than the stupidest cotton- picker in the fields of Georgia.

Sue peeple stay on earth merely because they can—not that they do any harm or any good, but are here for themselves and themselves alone. They seem to have no aim in life beyond living, and remain on earth because they fear the hereafter. Don’t be dummies. Pee Negro question is before the public and it will not down. The more it is discussed the more there seems to discuss, but all the dis- cussion being brought to bear seems to bring it no nearer a solution than it was when the discussion first begun. We say, ‘Do more; talk less.’” T IS our duty as a race to use every honorable means to advance along all lines—socially, in- tectually, religiously, morally and financially—but we do not need to act a monkey to attain the latter end, and therefore we condemn the cake walk and those who resort to such low, degrading schemes for the dollars there are in them. Core sense should guide us in all walks of life and not the actions of others; for we shall be accountable for our own deeds. There- fore it is no excuse for us when we do wrong because some one else has set the example. Our conscience is ever on guard and tells us when we think a wrong thought. It is a true and infallible guide, and coupled with common sense we ought to pass through the earthly existence in the path of rectitude and nobility. Bovey time a Negro climbs the hill of for- tune he leaves a path that others may follow if they are not too busy trying to get a rope around him that they may pull him back where they are. If we would exercise one-third the energy that we expend in preventing others from advancing in trying to better our own condition the light of the race would shine with the brilliancy of a star of the first magnitude in the constellation of the races of the universe. With one pull, a long pull and a pull all together lef us start today.

Generations may come and go; king: doms may rise and fall; wealth may take wings and fly to regions unknown- and the Mighty, the Great and Pow- erful may become sacred dwellers of the past, but Right and Truth are forever new, Their essence is wafted with every breeze. Their beauty Turks in every flower, ‘They are the state witnesses against every tyrant. They are the prosecuting attorney in every trial for honest freedom. They are the judge and jury of the universe, They are the king and queen of earth against which no army can euccess. fally combat, They are the corner stones of heaven, and are more en- during than the stars of the firma- ment and more obdurate than the rock of the eternal ages.

Peace to his ashes. Has he Met With Foul Play? J. W. Golden, one of the brightest scribes on the circulation staff of this paper is missing and we fear that he has met with foul play. Every week he has sent a bright budget of news to this office, but during the past two weeks his interesting news notes has failed to show up. The last seen of Mr. Golden he was in the vicinity of Weston, Mc., feeling well and hearty, and carried on his person something like $200, which perhaps he would have invested in shares in paper, and greatly assisted in feeding the large force of lank, lean, half starved bears that constitute the working force on this journal, but we fear that some low, dirty, thieving cusses have made away with him on holding him for ransom. We shall leave no stone unturned to ferret out the whereabouts of our dear friend and co-worker, and also see that the ruffians are given the full extent of the law.

READ THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Paola, Kas., June 7, '04.—The sudden death of Miss Mabel C. Shelby which occurred here at the home of her parents on Kaskaskie street last Thursday, June 2, cast a gloom over the entire city, causing profound sorrow among all classes of our citizens. She was the only daughter of our esteemed family, R. M. Shelby and wife. She was born in this city Oct. 26, 1883, and spent her whole life here. She was educated in the city schools, a graduate of the Paola High school, and was a highly polished and cultured young lady, honored and respected by all who knew her. Her life was a useful one, replete with kindness, sunshine and good deeds, inspiring all who were fortunate to come in contact with her. She was proficient in vocal and instrumental music and besides her work in the High school chorus and the A. M. E. choir, she had a class that took private lessons of her and it was often remarked that no pupils made better or more rapid progress than hers. She grew up under the potent influence of the Sunday school and church and exemplified the wholesome lessons received in her noble and valuable life. She was a tireless worker in the church, Sunday school and literary societies and every enterprise calculated to further the advancement of her race. She often taught in the public schools here as substitute and was told by those in authority that she was a natural teacher. She always gave satisfaction and was popular with the pupils. At the time of her death and from the time the order was set up here she was C. P.'s ADDRESSES 1. Mrs. Lula Buford, 2509 North Sixth, St., Kansas City, Kan. 2.
