BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. The’Great Industrial Idea Leader in a Letter to the Atlanta Constitution Points the Path of Duty - to the White and the Colored Citizens of the South in the Matter of Labor and Farming. Eidtor Constitution: Recent in- dustrial changes hring into promi- mence two facts, firet, that the south is likely for all time to be the cotton center of the world, and, second, thatthe continued increase in the use of cotton goods by all nations will give to every acre of land in the south a value that it has not here- tofore possessed. With these facts in mind, a natural inquiry is, what ean the Negro do to help forward the interests of the south, and what can the white mando to help the Negro and himself? Ishall hope to suggest an answer to both these questions. A few days ago I spent a day in one of the rural counties of Georgia and hearda greatdeal of discuesion about the scarcity of efficient farm labor. After spending the day in the county Lreturned to Atlanta for the night. Between ro and 11 o'clock [ made a our through Decatur street and sev- eral streets in that vicinity, I think Udonot exaggerate when I say that {found in and near Decatur street snough people who were not regular- ly ewployed to operate successfully a huodred of the largest plantations in the state of Georgia. Thie single example would mean little except thatit represents a condition more or less prevalent in practically all of our larger cities and in all of our southern states. As an economic problem, we have onthe one hand a surplus of idle Jabor in the cities and on the other much vacant land, unpicked cotton anda scarcity of farm labor; itis a tremendously difficult situation, ‘The problem of changing these con- ditions confronts not only the south, and it is nut by any means confined to my race, but for the present I desire to deal with it mainlyas it effects my race and the land owner of the south, be that land-owner white or black. In order that what I may say on this subject be of any value to the white man or to my own race, I shall have to ask the privilege of perfect frankness. The many subjects affecting the interests of both races require perfect frankness on both sides. Your readers will agree with me,I think, when I say that it is possible fora Negro to know more of the feclings and motives of color- ed people than a white man can possibly know. In my recent visit to Atlanta I did that which I have often done in large cities of the south wherever | have found a floating class of color. ed people. I made individual in quiry asto why they preferred an uncertain existence in a city to a life of comparative prosperity on a farm either as owners, as renters or labor. ers. WhilcI shall not attempt tc use their éxact words, I sum up the reasone they gave me ina féw sen. tences. just now the south is in the midst of the season when land own- ereare making plans for another year’s crop, some of the matters that were brought out, and which I shall try to discuss a little fully and may- be with profit to land owners. In the south, as elsewhere, there aretwo classes, those whom labor seeks and those who have to seek labor. The firat group is compara- tively small, but such a class exists; it can and ought to be increased. There are, in my opinion, two classes of faults as between white farmers and black labor, one, on the part of the white people, the other on the tee th ae Ec, EE a eas LE To suggest atemedy, one that shall promote the prosperity and happi- neas of both races is the aim of this article. To return to the main com- plaints of the colored people as they have stated them to me time and ‘ime again. These people who have talked may be right, they may be wrong, they may state facts, or they may state unteuths, but this I know, they represent the attitude of a large class ot colored people,-who give the following as chief reasons for leav- ing the farms: Poor dwelling houses, loss of earnings each year because of unscrupulous émployers, high priced provisions, poor school houses, short school terms, poor echool teachers, bad treatment gen- erally, lynchings and whitecapping, fear of the practice of peonage,a general lack of police protection and want of encouragement. Let us as- sume that these conditiona do exist in some sections, and with certain individual platters. As a mere matter of dollars and cents, if for uo higher reason, I hetieve that it will pay every owner of a plantation throughout the south to see to it thatthe houses of the tenants are not only made comfortable but at- tractive in a degree. The land-own- erwho thinks that he can secure the best class of «colored people, when he provides only a broken- down, one-room cabin for them to live in, will find himself mistaken. The chances are the planter who provides a comfortable house for histenants will keep them much Jonger, ard will have a more reliable service. The matter of being cheat- ed out of his earnings at the end of the yearis, of course, a complaint thatis very hard to discuss, and I know is likely to invotve much exag- geration, and the more ignorant the aggrieved person ie, the more given is he to such complaint and exagger- ation, but I must not conceal the fact that such feeling is deep and widespread, and I ought to make the same statement regarding the high prices charged during the year for provisions. etc. supplied, Some of the colored people who have mi- grated into the cities give as their reason for leaving the country the poor school facilities in rura! com- munities. In practically every large city in the south the colored man is enabled by public, missionary and privete schools to keep his child in school eight or nine months in the year. Not only is this true, but the school houses are comfortable and the teachers are efficient. In many ofthe rural communities, the loca- tion of the school house is far from the home of the child, the building is uncomfortable, the term lasts but four or five months, and the teacher: salary is so small that it generally invites a most inefficient class of teachera. I know one community that has had great trouble this yea in getting cotton pickers and othe: laborers, and inquiry reveals the fact that the Negro children in that community were in school last year only four months, and the teache received from the public fund but $x per month for his services Under such conditions who car blame large number of colore¢ people for leaving the plantation: os the country districts? Purely as an economic proposi tion, { believe that it will not only pay the land-owner of the south. either as individuals, or by united effort, to see that good school house: pay tolead the way in seeing that reasonable facilities are otherwise provided. This, I repeat will lead toa de- mand for land and increase of effici- ency in the labor force. Financially there will soon be a great difference in the price of land when there are tenants bidding for opportunities instead of going to cities as now. Whereverit is practicable, I would urge that at least a primazy course in agriculture be given in every country echool. This would lead to a love of farm work and of country life. Again many are not on the farms, asthey say, because they have not been treated fairly. To illus- trate: Irecall that some years ago acertain white farmer asked me to secure for hima young colored man to work about the house and to work inthe field. The young man wa: secured, a bargain was entered into to the effect that he was to be paic & certain sum monthly and his board and lodging furnished aswell. A the end ot the colored boy’s first day onthe farm he returned. I askec the reason, and he said that afte: working all the afternoon he wa: handed a buttered biscuit for hi: supperand no place was provider for him to sleep. | At night he was told he could finc |aplacetosleep in the fodder loft | This white farmer, whom I knov (aE és x x BRP du itag (2 chat An gee ase aais, Sg SEE eae fee ee i aa Mee. ee ae ie as : ce iOS 3 a ae ee... gee See ees Pecan PERSO LO coe Sune FCGUBREY.

Guy, who was elected president of the Inter-State Literary Association of Kansas and the West at its recent an- nual session in this city, is an attorney of acknowledged ability and stands high in the practice of his profession. He was born in Ohio, and came to Kansas about eighteen years ago, locating in Topeka. For the past ten or twelve years he has been active in county and state politics. Ie served as deputy prosecutor for this county for four years with credit and distinction. The association of which Mr. Guy is now president consists of the most intellectual and highly educated class of citizens in the West, and in addition to being prerident of this organiza- tion, he is national organizer of the National Afro-American Council. well, isnota cruel man aud seeks generally todo the right thing, but mthis case he simply overlooked the fact that it would have paid him in dollars and eents to give some thought and attention to the com- fort of his helper. This case is more or iess typical. Had this boy been well cared for he would have so advertised the place that others would have sought work there. The readers of your paper know too well that in a few counties of several of our southern states there has been such a rain of lawlessness led by whitecappers and lynchers that many of the best colored people have been driven from their homes and have sought in large cities safety and police protection. In too many cases the colored people who have been molested have been those, who by their thrift and diligence have securei homes and other property. These colored people have been oppressed in ‘most instances not by the property-holding, intelligent white people, but by the worst and most shiftless element ot whites. Have the higher class of whites escaped <eeponsibility for letting their affairs be controlled by the worst element? The practice of peonagein a few counties of the south has also caused a fear among anelement of the colored people that prevents their gofng into, or remaining in, the country districts ‘that they may be forced to labor in- voluntarily and without remunera- tion. Ihave said that such lawless conditions exist in only a “few” counties in the south, and I use the word advisedly. In the majority of the counties in the south life and property are just as safe as anywhere in the United States, but the harm comes because of the wide-spread notoriety that a few lawless com- munities and counties have given the south, and this serves to epread the idea pretty generally among th colored people that if they want police protection when they ar charged with crime or under suspi cion they must hastily seek the con. fines ofa city. T repeat that fea: has stripped some counties of it: most valuable colored labor and lef the dregs of that population. In th matter of law and order, my constan! appeal is that there be hearty co operation between the best white: and the best blacks. Nothing is clearer than that crime israrely committed by the colored man who kas education and owns property. Ihave not failed either to say to the colored peuple on more than one occasion, “We should see toit that crime ia all its phases is condemned by the race, and a pub- he sentiment kept alive that will make it impossible for a criminal to be shielded or protected by any mnumber of the race, at any time, or in any place. Few white people realize how far alittle encouragement goes in help- ing to make .etter and more useful citizensof the colored people. Some months ago I recall that I listened foranhourto a white man in the sonth who was making a political speech. He was in a state where a revised donstitution had disfranchis. ednineteen-twentieths of the colored voters fifteen years ago and there was not the slightest chanceof any political “uprising,” or even opposi- ‘tion on the part of the colored peo: (Continued on Page Three.) THE INTER-STATE LITERARY ‘The Inter-State Literary Associ- ation of Kansas convened in their 14th annual session at St. John’s A. M. E. Church jast Tuesday evening with a reception and pro- gram and concluded last Thursday afternoon. The following officers were present: E. J. Hawkins, pres., Ft. Scott, Kas,; Mrs. I. B. Taylor, vice pres., Topeka, Kas.; J.P. King, 3rd vice pres., Topeka, Kas.; Miss Carrie Hughes, rec. sec., Lawrence, Kas.; Miss Sallie Rawles cor. sec., Wichita, Kas. The session was harmonious throughout and Mr. Jas. H. Guy, of this city was elected president. There were several papers, duets, songs, recitations and poems of originality which were highly ap- preciated by those present and showed that the colored people of Kansas are forging their way to the front in the literary world. This gathering was undoubtedly one of the largest and most intelligent that has ever assembled of our race in this state and we think much good was accomplished by this gathering and when they mect in Kansas City, Mo., this year we expect to seea still larger gathering. There were overtwo hundred delegates present, which speaks well for the success of this organization. Too much praise cannot be given to the found- ers of this literary society and we note from the historian, W. E. Gray, of Atchison, that the found- ersare still pushing the orderahead.

The clerk refused to grant the ii cense on the ground that the con-" sent of her father had not beca ob _ tained. Mrs. Young, the girl’sy mother, made an affidavit that she had not seen her husband for more than four years and had no know- ledge of his whereabouts, and that he had not contributed any moacy© toward the support of the family ar Mrs. Young was perfectly willin., for her daughter to marry Mr. Kel- Tems so the license was granted, and now Miss Young is Mrs. Chas. Kellems. She resides with her mother. 4 Our representative called one day’ this week and had an interview" with Mrs. Young, who is evidently ~ German, but speaks broken Rnglisb, - She said that Mr. Kellems came to Philadelphia from Rockville, Conn., last April, and she came early in May.

Reduced Rates on All Railroads. Admission - 50c. Booker T. Washington (Continued from First Page.) ple, yet two thirds of this man's address was devoted to ridicule and abuse of the colored people. The sad feature of such an address lay in the fact that in many parts of the country such a speech is taken seriously. To most of those who heard it and to those who knew the man in that community it did no especial harm, for the people knew that his talk did not tally with his actions, but he had become so accustomed to making that kind of speech that he repeated by force of habit. This man had drawn his first life's sustenance from the breast of a colored woman, had been reared by one, and at that moment he had dozens of the best colored people in that section on his plantation, any one of whom would have laid down their lives for him, and the man himself would have fought to the death in defense of these colored servants of his. Every year these same laborers were making him richer and richer by their patient, faithful labor, and he would trust them with all that he possessed. In this community the Negroes have never made an unavailing appeal to this man for aid in building churches or school houses, or in supporting a school. Few white men anywhere in the world in their actual daily practice had done more to help the black man. Yet, such a speech read in the newspapers at a distance would give the impression to thousands of colored laborers that the county in which the speaker lived was for them absolutely unsafe. Such a speech was not calculated to gain a single vote, but it was calculated, in my opinion, to lose to the community a od many bales of cotton. I repeat. few understand how much good that be accomplished in the way of could the colored people lead law helping and useful lives if more abiding le would take occasion white people vate and in public to both in praod qualities instead of praise their guiculing them. reviling and rio duties and obliga duties and obliga- ple, I would say realize fully the In regard to the tions of my own pe that unless they re opportunities that are before them in the south and seize every chance to improve their methods of labor, the time will come when Italians and other foreigners will tempt to displace them in the labor work of the south just as the Chinese are displacing the Negro in South Africa. One charge frequently brought against us in that we cannot be depended upon for constant and uninterrupted labor; that an excursion or other excitement will take laborers from the very places where their services are most needed. The complaint is frequently made that if paid on Saturday night the laborers will probably not return to work until all the cash received has been expended, and that on the plantation the colored tenant takes little interest in caring for the property of the landlord. These things our people should change. I hope I may be pardoned for speaking so plainly and in so much detail and at such length, but I believe that the south is on the eve of a season of prosperity, such as it has never before experienced, and that by mutual understanding and sympathetic co-operation each of these two races of the south can help forward the interests of the other, and thus cement a friendship between them that shall be an object lesson for all the world. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee, Ala. Maj. Ford Writes. National Cemetery, Dec. 30, 1904. THE PLAINDEALER: A week before Christmas I was very agreeably surprised to receive a letter from my old friend, C. A. Tidwell of Fort Scott, stating that he and Mr. T. S. Penix of Kansas City would leave Fort Scott on the 10th of December en route to Port Hudson to spend Christmas with me. On the 21st I went to Baton Rouge and met the gentlemen on their arrival, After a little stroll through the streets of the capitol city we took the train for Port Hudson, fifteen miles distant, reaching our destination at 1:30 p.m. On Saturday, the 24th, I drove the gentlemen P. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. over to the little town of Zachary, on the Yaz. and Mississippi Valley railroad, where they realize as never before the preponderance of the colored population over the whites in the black belt. The streets were thronged with country people making their Christmas purchases, but in all that vast throng but two white persons were visible, a man and a boy. This is not strange when we realize that more than two thirds of the population of this parish are colored and more than half of the white people of the parish reside in the city of Baton Rouge. Very many of these colored people are wealthy, quite a number of them owning their plantations, and very many others who are renters making a good living. One renter, a near neighbor of mine, made this year twenty-five bales of cotton on thirty acres, three bales were paid for rent, four bales paid his account with the merchant, which left him eighteen bales. These he sold early, when cotton was bringing a good price, and starts off the new year with $966 to the good. Others in this vicinity have done equally as well, some not quite as well. I sometimes wish that some of the idle about Kansas City were as profitably employed, for with all the restrictions and oppressions that we read of, our success or failure is left largely in our own hands, whether we live in Kansas or Louisiana. The gentlemen spent the week very pleasantly; a great portion of the time was spent in fishing on a beautiful lake situated about a mile from the cemetery, and teeming with fish ot many varieties. I know it sounds unseasonable to speak of spending these late December days on a lake in an open boat, to you who in Kansas are drawn up around your bathrobes, but when I tell you that the thermometer registers 80 degrees on my front porch, and also that the air is laden with the perfumes of flowers everywhere, you will realize that it is not so bad. We caught an abundance of fish, Mr. Penix winning the laurels by landing a six pound bass, and nearly upsetting the boat in efforts to catch its mate. Mr. Tidwell also succeeded in landing the largest bass he had ever caught. We returned in the n. All evening laden with a good catch of black bass and crappie. We made another trip to the lake the next day and duplicated our first day's catch. We had intended making another trip to the lake, but a light rain came up, so we spent the day very pleasantly at home. The gentlemen made their departure for home on the 27th. I accompanied them on their journey as far as Baton Rouge. They carried with them, I am assured, very different impressions of Louisiana from those they had formed in Kansas. I have just received my Christmas number of THE PLAINDEALER, and congratulate you on the excellence of its make-up. In looking over its pages the familiar faces of my friends therein depicted carry me back to dear, old Kansas, and my memory reverts to other days. Yours truly, GEOR. W. FORD. Whitecappers Sent Up. BROOKHAVEN MISS.—Judge Wilkinson has announced sentences in the Lincoln county whitecapping cases. He pronounced one life sentence, five for fifty years each, one for twenty-five and several twenty year sentences in the penitentiary. They were all white men, members of the Farmer's League, found guilty of whitecapping Negroes. Dave Posey was found guilty of manslaughter for killing Ben Bayless, a Negro. He was given twenty-five years. Judge Wilkinson passed sentence on the other men as follows: Oscar Franklin, life imprisonment for the killing of Eli Hilson, a Negro; Will Franklin, D. W. Smith, Elias Smith, R. L. Smith and Elbert Gill each fifty years in the penitentiary for manslaughter for killing Henry List, a Negro. J. A. P. Troy, a Negro, for burglary, one year; Sam Posey, who pleaded guilty to two charges of whitecapping and was convicted of highway robbery, was sentenced to ten years on the robbery charge, and five years on each of the whitecapping charges, a total of twenty years.

FRIDAY, JAN. 6, 1905. TO OUR READERS. This week we put before you an eight page paper at $1.50 per year, which we hope will be appreciated and read. We shall offer prizes of different valuable articles to our readers. We will give a graphophone, a ladies' and a gentlemen's gold watch and several other prizes to both agents and subscribers. We are striving hard to make this paper one of the largest in the country. We shall continue advocating the rights and privileges of American citizens for all that is due them before the law. We are asking no special privileges for any one. We think the time is at hand when the color and condition of a man should be cast aside and the worth and merit of the party considered. We shall continue to condemn the outrages that are being perpetrated on our race in certain parts of the United States and we are opposed to class legislation and black laws. We are opposed to idle and worthless Negroes and will continue to pound upon them until they leave the street corners and loafing places and seek labor which is honorable and right. We think that more of our people should take to the farm and industrial pursuits which would make them grow more independent and strong. There are not enough of our people in business and in other lines of work which will bring them in contact with all business men and thereby bring the recognition sought by us. We are offering several inducements to our agents, paying them 25 per cent on all subscriptions sent to this office. Heretofore there has been a great influx of agents who haunted this office for work, but never accomplished anything towards bringing business this way. We do not care to be haunted by useless and careless people who wish to annoy this office for agencies as heretofore, and who do no work. We want business and we will do business with those who care to assume the responsibility of doing so. This paper is in circulation all over the United States and foreign countries. Our advertising rates are reasonable and those who care to advertise with us will find that they will save money as well as make money by getting our rates. We also have a job department in connection and we do all kinds of printing: minutes, pamphlet cards, letter heads, at reasonable prices. Please give us your work, thereby strengthening the paper, so we may be able to herald the news of our people over this broad land without being hindered by financial causes. There is no white man's paper that will give the news of the Negro people in their social and domestic life as THE PLAINDEALER and other colored journals will. Therefore it is strange to us why so many of our race do not read their own journals instead of so many white papers. The time has come for us to be fair in this matter. A HAPPY New Year to all. THE PLAINDEALER extends greetings to President Roosevelt and both branches of congress, and calls their attention to the platform made in Chicago, Reduce the representation in congress according to vote. Do not get weak and let those southern democrats bluff you. Also the supreme court: decide on the side of right, not might. WILL HILL, Al. Rodgers. Manager. Proprietor.

Owing to political conditions it is certain this year will be greater than any in the history of that organization. We would like to see our colored teachers attend the State Teachers' association which convenes at the state capitol once each year. We see no reason why more of our educators should not take advantage of this organization and attend. There is no discrimination except that it be on the part of the colored teachers, as the whites will gladly welcome them in the organization, and we hope that at the next session there will be a number of colored teachers present. It is right and just that they should attend. Do You Know THE PLAINDEALER will be eight pages from this week. DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS THERE WILL BE NUMEROUS PRIZES AWARDED FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. SEE PARTICULARS IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE. THE GREAT EDUCATOR TO BE GUEST OF TOPEKA. Citizens Will Banquet Him. Kansas Negroes should Turn Out in Full Force. May Be Last Opportunity to Hear Him. Principal Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, will visit Topeka Tuesday January 17th, at which time a general educational rally will be held at the Auditorium in the interest of the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute- This Institution is becoming to be known generally as "The Western Tuskegee;" five of the teachers are 9 graduates of Tuskegee Institute and the Tuskegee idea is being carried out as far as possible. It is the only undenominational Industrial School in the west, so Mr. Washington believes that he must give it his unqualified support. Several years ago Mr. Washington visited Topeka under the auspices of Washbvrn College and it was impossible for the members of our race to reach him. At this time he comes directly to reach and help our people, so it is hoped that the Negroes of Topeka, Shawnee County and Kansas will turn out in large numbers to hear him. Mr. Washington is undoubtedly the greatest educator in the country and what he says will prove quite helpful to all. The colored people of Topeka are planning to have a magnificent banquet at the close of the lecture. The Cosmopolitan Club has full charge of the banquet. James H. Guy, a trustee of the Institution is President of the Cosmopolitan Club and he will be pleased to give any information concerning the banquet. Chancellor Strong of the University of Kansas and President Wilkinson of the State Normal School at Emporia will also be present and make short talks. Jackson's Military Band, Mrs. J. M. Wright and the students from the Institute will furnish the musical numbers. The railroads have granted a special rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. We understand that there will be special excursions from Ottawa, Baldwin, Lawrence and Kansas City. The admission to the lecture is only fifty cents. This is the first time that the admission has been lower than one dollar. We hope to see at least four thousand members of our race at the Auditorium wheu Mr. Washington lectures. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. (NORTH TOPEKA.) The services at the church were well attended last Sunday both morning and evening. Collection for the day was $27.75. Rev. H. W.

Mr. Arnic Bledsoe and his bride spent three days in Kansas City visiting his sister, Mrs. L. Bacote, returning this city Wednesday, and left that afternoon for their home in Denver.

So we wish Mr. and Mrs. Bledsoe much joy. Miss Pearl Woods is on the sick list this week. Topeka Ave.—5 rooms, $1100- $100 cash. Topeka Ave.—4 rooms, $700. Topeka Ave.—7 rooms, $1200.

Christmas has come and gone and the white people of this town are wiser if not hetter than they were a few daysago. On Christmas Eve night a few hot-heads, led by the new town marshal, a ‘Texas fellow, set about to terrorize the blacks. ‘They utterly failed, and were only glad to escape with lives, for these black Creeks made them take to their heels, and the commissioners said that they had been served right, as they were acting ultra viries. The frightened whites sent out false reports to Muskogee and Ok- mulgee to the effect that ten whites had been killed and that the blacks were up inarms. The only man who had received ascratch was a brave white officer who ran into a barbed wire fence getting out of the way. ‘The wicked fleeth when no mah pursueth.” U.S.marshals came in force and arrested about fourteen Negroes and one white man who sided with the blacks, At the trial all but three were acquitted, these three being fined for being disor- derly. The court had the whites to understand that it would not be a party in an attempt to southernize the Creek Nation. The blacks won and the whites are uneasy. The hardware men, although their trade is dependent upon the blacks, now réfuse to sell ammunition to Negroes. But our own merchants will make provisions for ammunition and hardware also: We are progressing herealong all lines. In business we lead the race in the territory. A number of nice residences have been erected during the past few months, additions have been made to business houses and new business started.
