HE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society Male House REV. JOHN JASPER GETS A MONUMENT! Colored Folk of Richmond, Va., Honor the Famous "Sun Do Move" Pastor. Richmond, Va., July 15. On July 4th a monument was unveiled here to one of the most widely known Negro ministers in America—John Jasper. When one considers that the stone cost $800, and that it is the gift of Jasper's congregation, the fact in itself is significant. Eight hundred dollars is a large sum for Negroes to give out of their earnings; but it is not too much for "Old Pap," as they affectionately call him. John Jasper was, in Richmond, the grand old man of his race; and he was the last of his race—for there is none to succeed him, as the type to which he belonged passed away with emancipation. Freedom had little effect on him. In his simple life he alung to old fashioned ways and ideas, intoning his sermons, singing the doleful, weird hymns of his youth. New ideas, new modes of thought, were spurned by him with a ridicule and satire that was inimitable and scathing and that made him famous. What he said he believed; and as he believed so he lived and preached. There was nothing of the hypocrite in him, and no man, black or white, would ever have accused him of sensationalism. Jasper believed that his mission on earth was to confront science and smash it, and to warn his flock against new-fangled ideas that might fascinate them, and so from his pulpit he often denounced them as "educated fools." The Bible was all Jasper knew, and to that he elung, rejecting all that to his mind was a seeming contradiction. Hence his sermon, "The Sun Do Move." He used no notes in preaching, and his enthusiasm carried his congregation with him up the hills of celestial glory, right to the throne of grace. His congregation revered him, and he ruled his flock with an iron crook. BASIS OF HIS THEORY. When it was announced that his theme would be "The Sun Do Move," white people crowded his church and were always welcomed. "Stand back, you niggers; git out of here an' make room for the white folks," was Jasper's method of reducing his crowds. 'Taking his text from Exodus 15:3, "The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is his name," he quoted in substantiation of his theory that the sun do move the following passages: Joshua,chapter 10,verse 12—Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, sun stand thou still in Glideon, and thou, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed until the people avenged themselves upon their enemies. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of man, for the Lord fought for Israel. Malachi—From the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same My name shall be great among the Gentiles. Psalms—The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Ecclesiastes—The sun also ariseth and the sun goeth down and hasteth to the place where he arose. Revelations—And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind might not blow upon the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. Jeremiah—Thus sayeth the Lord, If heaven above can be measured and the foundation of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith the Lord. Scripture such as this was not, to Jaspor's mind, to be accepted other than literally. With his long fingers, his inimitable gestures and execrable grammar, he made a sermon out of it that once heard was never to be forgetten. "We is livin' on a round world, is we? Then explain," he would challenge, "how does the folks on the tother sid stick on? Does dey walk wid der he dr down and der feet in de air like flies? And if de Bible say de airth is got four corners, in the name of Gawd, how can a thing whar's got four corners be round? Den when the airth is turnin' on its axes how does we manage? How does we stick on? Is we got claws on our foots like peckerwoods? If the airth is got axes, what I want for to know is, who grease de axes so that it turns? No, brutherin, the Lord Gawd Almighty holds the airth in de holler ob His hand, and when He let go, it's gwine to bust into smitherations." The theory of the sun's moving, he firmly believed and questioned sarcastically the reputed accepted distance between sun and earth. "Who's ever done measured it?" he would ask. "Tain't nobody, 'cause if'tfs all dat way off no man could do it; no, he couldn't take victuals enough along ter last fer de journey; and besides, der ain't never been no tape line long enough for no sich purpose." AT HIS BEST AT A FUNERAL. But it took a funeral for Jasper to be at his best. Without hesitation he sifted the character of the dead so as to leave no doubt in the minds of his hearers as to whether the spirit of the departed was with the sheep or the goats. An example of Jasper's honesty may be cited in that once from his pulpit he said. "Gawd Almighty never lies; He can't lie. I am sorry ter say it, but I lies somestimes. Ioughten ter lie an' I am trying to quit it, but Gawd never lies." An incident of Jasper's preaching that is, perhaps, more widespread than authentic is that once he preached on "The Gift of the Holy Ghost." To aid the effect of his sermon, it was his plan to have lowered from the trapdoor just above the pulpit a stuffed dove, such as one commonly sees as a funeral design. The auspacious moment arrived and instead of the descent of the dove, a nappy head poked through the opening, saying: "Mr. Jasper, de church cat hab done eat up de Holy Ghost." Jasper was born and raised a slave, and not until he had passed his twenty-seventh birthday did he learn his alphabet. Then he became converted, and wishing to preach, a fellow-slave taught him to read out of a "New York Spellingbook." He was the youngest of 24 children and is survived by his fourth wife, Jasper married her in order that she might care for him, as he heard his only daughter plotting with her husband against his life, presumably to get his property. There was never any whisper relative to Jasper's moral character; he was above all reproach. But his taste was that of a hermit. Most of his time was spent in searching the Scriptures. Of his race he was distrustful, though nothing of the coward lurked in his character. Any insult was answered from his pulpit with such scorn and derision that none ever offended twice. During his life he saved nearly $2,000, which was hid in various nooks about his home. The money was mostly in quarters and half-dollars, for the old slave having lived through the experience of the CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 28, 1905 WHITES AND BLACKS CAN DWELL IN THE SAME BLOCK! The People Who Kicked Because a Colored Family Rented on Topeka Avenue Can Find no Fault-We Have Taught Them Some Valuable Lessons-No Sensible Persons are Alarmed Because we Purchased Property on Buchanan Street. "Nick Chiles, colored, editor of the Negro paper, THE PLAINDEAIRER, is not satisfied with living in a rented house at 717 Topeka avenue and he has decided to move to the more aristocratic neighborhood of Governor's Square and he has accordingly bought the eight room, hot water heated thoroughly modern residence at 914 Buchanan street facing on the aristocratic residence row which includes the executive mansion occupied by Gov. Hoch and family, the home of Judge C. E. Foote, the C. W. Merriam home, the II. A. Auerbech residence and the J. C. Harmon home now being erected. "Chiles bought the house from John Shehan who is now living there. Chiles says that Sheahan is to move out within a month and Chiles and his family will immediately move in and make their home there. An agreement for a warranty deed, with provision for liquidated damages in case of breach, was filed with Register of Deeds John Marshall. The instrument is to the effect that Sheahan agrees to deliver a warranty deed to the property to Chiles for a consideration of $2,700, $500 in cash and payments. Chiles stirred up the fashionable Topeka avenue neighborhood by renting a house at 717 Topeka avenue, through another person, and he has been living there now for several 'months."—Topeka State Journal. From the above article it seems to be the provailing sentiment among some white people that it is not right for a colored man to buy property where white people live. There is a tendency on the part of a large majority of white people who become inoculated with prejudice, to hinder and retard the progress of the Negro in all walks of life and to prevent him from buying property where it happens to be wholly inhabited by white people. The good book says that God created heaven and earth in six days and rested on the seventh, but no where do we see that He made earth especially for the white man, and we cannot see where the white man has any right to prescribe bounds as to where the Negro should live or die so long as he lives within the bounds of civilization and respects the rights of all men. The white man found the Indian on this continent and it was not long before he subjugated him and robbed him of his land. He forced the Negro out of his habitation and brought him over to till the soil, and for more than three hundred years he toiled making this country habitable for the white man and his children. After all of this, he does not want him to own desirable property, and places obstacles in the way to keep him from progressing simply because he is not white. It matters not how low and degraded a white man may get, there is never any objection to his owning property in a community, and on the other hand, it makes no difference how respectable or industrious a colored man may be, he is criticised by a large majority of white people if he tries to progress along the lines of civilization and wealth. We did not buy on the Governor's Square because we wanted to live among white people, nor did we rent on Topeka avenue because we thought the people of that neighborhood were better than colored people of like standing, but because we wanted a house to live in and were determined to get it. When we found that there was a disposition on the part of those who controlled the property not to rent to Negroes because of their color, we procured a man whom they could not distinguish as being black and they let him have the house. We moved in and have lived there for the past sixteen months, and have educated the white people in that neighborhood to the fact that people don't have to be white in order to live respectable, and also if they have property to rent that they should place respectability above color, and that it will cost just as much to repair a window broken by a white man as it would if done by a Negro. We taught them that colored people take as much pride in the care of their families and homes as does the whites. We have taught them that our complexion is "fast"—will not rub and that it is perfectly safe to live in the same block with colored people and retain the same complexion. We have taught them that living in the same block with colored people does not injure their high standing in the social world, nor has it been the cause of them being slighted by any of the fashionable circle in which they move. We taught them that we work six days a week as they do and the interest manifested by them in the church and Sunday School is shown just as keenly by our family. We have taught them that the same desire they had to mingle with us in a social way had taken hold of us very forcibly, and that to pawn and repass and mind our own back yard was quite sufficient for us indeed, and all that we desired. We taught them that it is wrong to point out the lowest element of any people and set them up as a standard by which to measure all the rest. We have taught them that we do not consider it any more of an honor to live in the same block with them than it is with people of our own race, and that we do not feel that it has raised our standing in the least. We have taught them that colored people believe in owning homes instead of paying extortionate rent for some old hull that should be declared a nuisance. PLACE AND HARMONY PERVAILED. We are glad to say that our neighbors on Topeka avenue have become very kind and courteous, and while we have not exchanged calls or borrowed sugar or salt from them, we have exchanged greeting and smiles which were well ment on our part, but with them we do not know whether it was deceit or not, but be that as it may, we got along nicely, and we do not believe they will say again, when a colored man applies for a house in that vicinity, that they object to him on account of his color. There will be no claim from Gov. Hoch, Judge Foot, C. W. Merriam, H. A. Auerbach and other capitolists in that square because we have bought there. They are too well cultured to even hint at such. It's the low-bred, mean, ignorant, snuff dipping what man that takes exceptions to the Negro owning or living in a respectable place, while on the other hand, the well-bred, rich, cultured and refined white man is glad to see the Negro advance, and will lend him every aid possible to see him become a substantial citizen and a property holder. The people of that neighborhood haven't paid any more attention to our purchasing property out there than they would if it had been a white man who has to rise early and toil late to earn an honest dollar as we are compelled to do. In fact we conscientiously believe that they would much rather see us there than some swell-headed thirty-five dollar a month clerk who possess just enough gall and egotism to think because he is white that he could "butt in" on their social affairs. On the other hand, they know if we did move out there, that we would not expect to mingle in their affairs, exchange calls, etc., but that we are there to attend strictly to our own affairs. We purchased this property because it was a bargain, and know we can realize a neat little sum off of it in the near future as property is enhancing in value in that part of the city as is indicated by the handsome residences being erected during the past few months, and like any sensible person, we took advantage of the conditions. We are forced to admit that there is considerable fault on the part of the Negro which we attribute as a reason for his not progressing more rapidly, and that is his backwardness and cowardice when a white man appears on the scene. He imagines that if he seeks a position from a white man that he will be refused because he is colored and stops at that. No one can expect to achieve anything in this life by relying upon someone else to carry them along without any effort in their own behalf. We must learn to seek as much as any one else and believe that we are capable and competent of doing as much. Nick Chiles. Abkiene, Kansas. II. Wharton has returned home from western Kansas, and speaks of prosperity among our people. Mrs. Ida Martin and Wm. Hampton are on the sick list, but both are improving now. The rally that was given by the Mt Zion Baptist church under the pastorate of Rev. R. Cox, was a grand success. They raised $93, and are now ready to dedicate the church free of debt a year ahead of the time given to pay for it. J. R. Lewis and wife and Wm.

Manager of Bostons is Desirous of Playing Mathews, Harvard's Shortstop. Efforts are being made by the management of the Boston National League club to secure the services of Matthews, the stak Negro shortstop of Harvard University, according to a dispatch from Boston. It is the intention of Manager Tenney to play him at second base if he can get the consent of the other magnates of the league to use the player. There is an unwritten law in professional baseball against the playing of Negroes, and with the consent and knowledge of the other clubs none has ever been played in any of the regularly organized leagues. Attempts to get them in by, calling them some other nationality, such as Indians, have been frustrated on several occasions. Pat Tebeau when at Cleveland played Soxalexus, an outfielder, but he was a bona fide Indian. When McGraw was in the American League, managing the Baltimore club, he tried to work in a player from the Chicago Union Giants, but it was not long before his true status was learned and McGraw had to drop him. It was said. He had not played in a game. McGraw holding him to await developments before making the trial. There have been and are Negro players with as much ability as any white man can develop, but the prejudice against playing with them is too strong and the probabilities are that Tenny will find no way to get around the unwritten law which stands against them. Matthews, Harvard's star shortstop, is known as one of the most intelligent men attending that institution and one of the straightest athletes. His amateur standing as an undergrad has been questioned of late since he signed with a professional club. The playing of the little fellow caused many a rumpus with other university teams. Princeton once kicked up a row over him and Georgetown refused to play the Crimson nine if Matthews was in the line-up. Not only is Matthews a great baseball player, but he is one of the fastest and most nervy football stars the Crimson'leven had on it last season, but this same prejudice is said to have kept him off the regular team at the start of the Yale game. The one time he was permitted to get into a big game he showed wonderful ability and played a stellar role. His position was end, The Negroes have no right to feel that they are not progressing rapidly in this country from the fact that efforts are being made by the management of the Boston National League to secure the services of Mr. Matthws, a colored baseball player of no small reputation. If Boston succeeds, this will be the first Negro ever to play on a league team. Mr. Matthews is a graduate of Harvard University, and is a gentleman of culture and ability, and we do no reason why he should not play ball with the National League. We are glad to see some white men in this country, and especially those connected with the big leagues, to have the manhood to come out and give recognition to men, irrespective of color or previous condition.

Christ said to all his children: "Let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Now, to let your light shine, you must sacrifice your good name for God, and sometimes your life and all that you have, and if you should ear in so doing, accidentally, try again. But don't sin willfully against God. If you do, God won't have you in his kingdom. Evil workers have built breastworks of deceit and lies around the truth. But fear not! Because the truth is mighty and it will cut away that filth and trash, and then the truth will shine forever. Any preacher who says a hard word against the holy sanctification of God is an enemy of the truth and the quicker the people let him go out of the pulpit and go to work for himself, the better it will be for the church of God. "Born of the water and of the Spirit" is what my Lord said, and that is what I indorse and believe in, as God said. The reason I say sanctification is all right is because Christ prayed to the father to sanctify his children through the truth and God's holy word is truth. Read John 17:17 and know fur yourself. Some people say don't grumble. Well, I tell you, friends, if some one don't talk the truth will not be proclaimed, and souls will not be saved, because some preachers value their sermons higher than they do the souls of the people, and wrong is too rigid in the land God is displeased with all manner of sin; therefore, repent quickly, and keep the way of Christ before it is too late.

Ru McNary, her Attorney, Would Wed Negro Omaha, Neb., July 22.—"If you will let me out of jail I'll marry Mary," said A. E. Kenon, a middle-aged white man, who had been arrested on the charge of assaulting Mary Burns, an aged Negress. The Burns woman, who has quite a police record, is on the shady side of 60, blind in one eye and would beggar the description of some of the characters created by Charles Dickens. She had been working for Kenon who is a section hand, and he became angered at her and struck her. He was arrested and this morning placed under $100 bonds pending a hearing Tuesday. Kenon declared he loved the old Negro woman and would lose no time in making her his wife, but Judge Berka could not help him out. Here is a white man so wrapped up in the Negro race that he wauts to marry an old colored woman, both blind and lame. If this had been carried out before the war there would not be so much prejudice in this country. They had better let the fellow have his way, and not cause him to commit suicide, for we presume he loves this woman. We have more respect for him for this outward show of his love of the Negro than we do of that class who give an outward expression, but at every chance they are trying to fool some one in the dark. Pittsburg, Pa., July 22.—A two-day strike of white girls employed in the office of A. J. Logan & Co., mattress makers, has ended, although Estella Wells, a colored girl against whom they struck, is still employed in the office, wearing real cuffs and high heeled shoes, while the white girl strikers are sewing rags back in the shop in the same old way. Two days ago one of the white girls reported seeing a Negress working in the office as stenographer. A committee of the white girls demanded that the colored girl, whoever she was, be discharged, saying that they were not willing to slave in the sewing shop while a Negress was employed in the office. Superintendent R. B. Harrison told them the firm had employed Estella Wells, late of the Pittsburgh High school, to do office work, and would keep her. If the white girls didn't like this they could go. There was a striko lasting thirty six hours, during which time all the white girls were discharged. Yesterday most of the girls came back, and on assuring the superintendent that they didn't care if he employed a Malay in the office, were reinstated. The open transaction and firm stand taken by the proprietors of this firm deserves great consideration. Because this young colored girl was employed as stenographer in this concern is no reason why these white girls should strike, simply because they were white and this girl colored. If this stand was taken by all business firms in this country it would soon put an end to the idea that people must be white in order to accomplish anything, and people would have to look to worth and merit, instead of color. The sooner that class of white people who dote upon living upon color are ostracised and left alone the better it will be for the American people. "That class may as well come to this now, for they will have to later on. The great God of the universe will not always stand these outrages, for it is written, "He will not strive with man alway." The young lady is holding her position and will continue to do so because she gives satisfaction to her employers and that is all that is required. Let our brothers in white consider merit and not color! THEY SHOULD HOLD OUT! Special to Post Dispatch Knoxville, Tenn., July 22. The colored people along the Lonsdale division of the Knoxville Traction Co. have as a majority agreed that they will not patronize the cars on the line on account of the "Jim Crow" law and a meeting is to be held this week to perfect an organization to establish a boycott. The movement started among Negroes who are employed about the Lonsdale industries. No Negroes are riding on the Lonsdale cars. Very few are riding on the Highland avenue cars, and it is very seldom that a Negro is seen riding on a Euclid avenue car. Negroes are seen loafing along the car line in Lonsdale and frequently jeen Negroes who start to ride. Sunday afternoon a Negrowoman, a servant employed in another part of the city, started to board a car near Lonsdale and she was pulled off by a Negro man, who upbraided her for not standing with the other Negroes in not patronizing the cars. She did not know of the agreement or the proposed meeting, and when she did learn of it she refused to ride. Inquiry at the office of the Knoxville Traction Co. today showed that since the trouble on the Lonsdale line on the night of July 8 that Negroes had remained off the cars with the possible exception of a female passenger occasionally. None of the colored citizens of the northwestern part of the city, near the Knoxville College, are said to be interested in the movement, but it is chiefly from workers and other laborers who are employed at industries. A Negro who is employed as a bricklayer stated to a reporter today that letters had been received from Nashville and Chattanooga from Negroes the. e who asked them to remain off the cars and had informed them that if this was done the street railway companies would insist on the law being repealed and the next legislature would repeal it. The work of forming the sentiment against the law has been done quietly. A week ago Saturday night Sheriff Kreis and deputies dispersed a mob of Negroes who were pulling other Negroes off the cars. One Negro was fined and paid his fine. Two others who were leaders in the movement escaped and it is said that since then they have been at work quietly creating a sentiment against the law and insisting upon the Negroes remaining off the cars. The Oakville and Sevierville Pike cars have been heavily patronized by colored passengers. The patronage on the Oakville line has fallen off, but as to the Sevierville Pike line, it has not been affected. This line is patronized by several hundred Negroes employed in railroad work and while they remained off the cars for a week they now ride and have no kick coming, so it appears. The Knoxville Traction Co. does not expect a general boycott and pays little attention to the movement among Londale Negroes. THE PLAINDEALER sends greeting to the Negroes of Knoxville, Tenn., and hope they will continue the good work. If the Negroes will spend their money with transfer teams and express wagons for transportation instead of patronizing the "Jim Crow" car system, which huddles them off in one department, making monkeys of them and objects of ridicule for the edification of the bigoted white man, the better it will be for all concerned. It will educate the white men to a sense of honor and duty which they owe to everybody. There is not a white man in Tennessee or the South who would stand to have his wife and children "jim crowed," and a few of the Negroes have learned to respect their rights and are now putting this into execution. Separate laws are not constitutional and no state has a right to make laws that will favor one race of people in preference to another or even referring to a race or nationality. All just laws are made for all people to serve and live under alake. There is a day coming when there will be a Supreme Court in the United States which will declare all such state enactments to be null and void. Of course the courts which are controlled by prejudice and money cannot be expected to give justice in this matter at this time. But right is bound to prevail. LAWRENCE, KAS.

There is a habit practiced by some Negroes which is disgusting in the extreme aud that ia the habit of crowding down to the court house every time aome other one of the race in having a trial Thte habit is especially practiced amoung the young Nogroes. Mothers ought to see to it that their daughters find work to doinstand of loafing around the court houso lastening to trials. The reason eo many girls arcin trouble now is because mothers in- dulge them in idleness, and the downfall of nine-tenths of our girls is due to carelossncss on the part of our mothers. We think if the cat- o’-nine tails was applied to aome of the mothers instead of the children there would be much better getting abong in the community.
