THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House VOLUME IX. Negro Business Le Booker T. Wash Over Three T --- Owing to a late train President Washington did not call the eight annual meeting of the National Negro Business Mens League. It was a large crowd gathered from many states, that greeted the distinguished visitors. No time was spent in preliminary arrangements. In lieu of the first Mikan Baptist Church, connected devotional exercises, It O'Louis First Visi Presidental assumed the chair. He expressed regret that the conference was not present and that, too, an interesting letter of note. As a top executive of the Governor he is privileged to A. W. Neil, State Printp. who was the delegate to harrass. Fire and burgl. Had the problem been resolved—suppose the Negro had been the dominant power, and let hold the white man in oppression—would you have more time? Though you have all the necessary skills, you are not the fullest man of public prejudice. But in manhood it is the only. In the civil instru- ment present, it blacks are considering the hands with which they have had to control, it has made wonderful pro- gress. Conditions in rapidly improving as shown by the recent states of Wil- hame over Vandown in Mississippi, the margin was small, but it all helps. Mrs. William Goren of Ipswich, was introduced and welcomed the delegates to a city so famous that he is open to them and to known lions of the city and to the accomplishments of which you have so nobly assisted. It was a great pleasure to welcome you this city. You are now engaged in the north work of upholding of your fellow man. We trust that you will have a pleasant and profitable meeting. Hon. of a courtman representing the Hopka Commercial Club, sent in part I have here only to make a few remarks on behalf of Hopka I intended telling you something about our problems crops. If the great wheat crop at Kansas was made into a doughnut the eleven million acres of America could start in the shade of it and if they pre-empted to eat them we out the race problem would be solved success in life is an individual problem Man is the architect of his own fortune and it is poor economy to be a soldier. If, James H. Gou, on behalf of the Negro Business League, those who have predeceased know that the world of welcome comes from all the people whom they represent in coming to Kansas you have fulfilled better than you know. Kansas insisted on coming into the Union tree. The colored people of Iowa peaks are the most industrious on earth. There is no longer a race problem in the problem of the individuals and in Negroes of Iowa labor as such they welcome you. Dr. Washington assumed the chair and in a few will have a work to introduce Judge W. W. Woolfson, of Little Rock, Mo. Judge Garth said I have been asked about among here today, because of the allusions to my state. Not I am proud to be here and all anything to the reputation your great state has made. I remember when your state was the light of liberty. We are glad to be here and I am prophesy that when we go away we can say it is good to be here. Hon R. L. Smith of Texas, in responding to the welcome, and every body receives that on the soil of Kansas all are welcome. We cannot forget that this is the state of the old hero of the swatomite. The best of the blacks bring greetings to the best of the white. We are on the right road and if we but keep on the road of industrial commercial educational and moral development we will reach the goal of social success. It is good to be here. The spirit of John Brown of Swatomite was on the meeting and at the suggestion of Hon R. L. Fortune of the New York Age, Ht Reverend Bishop Grant invoked divine blessing. David Lipton of Impully spoke for twenty minutes in the question of Twenty Years to a House Noor. The greatest question to his wise, and he was and compares in the great struggle It is no longer a question at all but one of ability. My color was not been a hindrance. He referred to the recent moving of his houses at Parsons for the M. K. & F. Railroad. In all his work in her the resistance of his son. He is now engaged in a difficult job and I want him to work it out himself. It will give him the confidence of the people. It was brought out on questioning that Mr. Lippon had $400 invested in business, and employed twelve persons. The chair reported four new life members. P. L. M. Daniel, of McMahon, L. L. M. Wright, Lopez, G. C. Grow, at Lafayetteville, Knox, R. C. Owens, Los Angeles, Calif. M W JUNIOR, of Indianapolis, Ind. told of his skole, gravel tooting and contri- tory.

In a well-chosen and elegant operas, the providing elder introduced Dr. Washington the principal speaker of the evening. This league was formed for the purpose of providing business enterprise with what you have a complained of anything you will be glally welcomed to our platform. I am often asked by the people making in the North, how you can best help us of the South to succeed and I immediately answer, help yourself. Success is at your door. No power on earth can make a weak man a strong one. Another object of this league is to emphasize our opportunities. The other fellow will tell us of our dead antiques. There used to be a question as to whether or not the Negro could be educated—that is, in the ordinary sense in which we understand education there is no longer any such question in the minds of our people whose opinions are worth considering. There is a question yet remaining and one that is constantly being debated as to what extent Negroes can be using and be skilled of using education as to meet his productive needs and in distributing the products of the world. Keep in that during this time years to American that has incurred the world that he could be educated in literature, science, mathematics, art. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1947. in the professions. We have won this victory by depending upon empty talk not by building upon abstract argument not by abuse of science but by a really doing the thing by living every public school. Every cell government or institution and professional school has ever been opened for us. We want this victory by having larger object lessons in every part of the United States that within them serve indisputable evidence of our ability to receive education. When proof is asked of our ability to give education we can point to the little bareheaded and barefooted pickin' in the Mississippi log cabin school or we can point to the Negro south in cap and gown in Oxford University (England) so much is settled, but as I have said there is still debate and question as to what extent we have ability to apply our education to all concerns of common life—to bring to bear the force of our education upon the soil, imbane household arts, manufacturing trades and in the matters that concern people living. In this may be said in worthless field may be made of worthless or not finding the markets of the world valuable. Now we are of the objects sought to be completed by the National Negro Bank now begun to help the Negro a war in time will that be cannily live it in but to be in it longing to out the world housekeeping more in this place to be situated in mong the town notthing this have so long installed its eight first place at will include that it is not community and out at Washington you in illustration this organization instance trade in Negro banks in people stores almost always have it given to them. Good stores owned and conducted by our people. Out of this organization have grown the local Negro business league. It is the largest the country with the writing the same kind in the in their communities in the Nation and their business league. But most of this is the agent in people and the determination of our people. Pass to the world our institutions and citizens in our community where we serve that is encouraging. Disproportion talk the Negro is not discouraged, but is going toward the own toes on a message that is equal to the unborn facing the first and highest Negro is more and more house and industry than ever before in the world. We are learning that the people and unites that we get man's out of that soil or any other out of it. We are learning that we must be humbled at what we will since now. In proportion as we learn this beaten in the same proportion will we find help at the south and the North. We must not be content to merely tolerated in communities we must make ourselves well. The great civil laws that govern the universe know no moral or color lines. Man may discriminate, but nature and the contract laws that control commerce and markets will not and cannot understand all point of educational and even moral and religious progress there are certain economic laws which every person must comply with that would be classed among the successful races of earth. The great battle city of our sea which should be sounded in every part of the land is "overcome evil with good overcome failure with success, overcome injustice with humiliation overcome doubt with high endeavor, overcome shatteredness with high achievement. There is something in human nature that compels respect for success in galless of race or color. It history teaches any one lesson more thoroughly than any other is that successful effort in constructive productive work is what counts in putting a face upon the test. I have thus plainly made it what our duty and policy is to people should be others outside of the law and our image and respect us in certain regard, but we must do the plain in view should I interpret and make the feel in and ambition of the law more important to this.

Eight years ago Dr Booker I Washington, the Wizard of Tuskegee, organized a National Negro Business Men's League for the purpose of arousing among our people an interest in the commercial development of the country. It has conserved year after year in various Eastern and Southern cities, and now far the first time in its history comes to the great and mighty West. It comes to Kansas the center of Negro development of the West, in the dark and bloody ground upon which the titan struggle for human liberty was begun. Kansas has always been in the history of the world. It was the whispered stories of this fabled Golconda that brought the dreamer Columbus from the shores of Gonza. It was the stories of its green pastures, seeming with maize and buffalo that lured Colorado from the gulf to waste ears in wandering. It was the same stories of generous plenty, intermingled with the golden thread of liberty that brought the down trodden exoduster from the South to enjoy peace and plenty beneath his vine and fig tree out on the plains of Kansas. And the story can never be told, of the transformed exoduster into the highly respected and honored citizen of the greatest state in the greatest nation of the world. Thousands of acres of land yield their fruits in season to the cunning of the sable Kansan's hand. Thousands of homes in our towns and cities tell you that the idler and the slothful are absentees. Kansas hospitality is as boundless as her wealth. And as our doors swing inward, our waving helds of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley; our lowing herds and fattening kine, the humming wheels of our myriad industries, all join in the sublimely cordial anthem of welcome weing to the strangers within our gate" Toneka and all Kansas welcome the workers and doers of our race they will bring on war Night and the white man becoming a power in New Philadelphia the white press are much to do with the running of these tests of stopping the destroying and disconturing them on their hand and by also encouraging the institution to build races — the thoughtless Messenger Reform in Georgia Robin legislation used to meet the citizens and helpful foundation for all the people, and special privileges to them under the present regime at the state capital in most special favors for whose people and the downright outlaws at the black man rights — All data does not present Supc1 Twenty Years For one cannot think more a mistake by waiting were instead of "months," Rhona Baines, a Negro and served at most 60 years in the Alabama prison trust. The sentence should only have been a month. The girl was sent to a prison when 12 years ago for four years she remained in the prison for 60 years until her death from typhoid fever and while serving her sentence in prison she was born in the city. People who whom our mother worked became interested in the case and looked it up when they became aware that she had been made but too late to help the girl. A mother is now old and ill and has had a bill presented to the legislature to have the state pay for the latter in time she served and what she should have served. Black Justice I am the first pair of Negroes ever called in this district county. We recently tried to color it in Augusta. The judge and prosecution attested were the only white men in the room. The defendant was in guilty and given six months sentence.

THE MASTER If the Negro is to look to some of the leaders for inspiration he will never make any progress in this country, but will always be 'the under fellow.' knocked and kicked around at will by all other races and nations. Some men forget that the Negra is higher than a political political position. Col Fred R Moore, editor of the Colored American Magazine, in his address before the Western Press association played to the prejudice of the white people by declaring that there was no "kick due the Negro on Jim Crow sm until he had money with which to ggbt the issues." This is a country where every citizen with a ballot in his hands is prepared to protect himself, and because he is without a dollar is no reason why he should not be a man. Let the Negro stand up and protest against wrongs heaped upon him, and ever be ready to defend his rights. It he will do this, he will be respected by others. If Brother Moore wants a political plum, he should get it on merit and manhood, and not sell out his race for it. The Negroes of Kansas are against Jim Crowism in every phase and they intend to let President and every ather man know this. Let Brother Moore take his toadvism to New York. THE CLEVER AND GAETHE has a good story on Corvine Patterson, the popular street commissioner of Kansas City. If Patterson were not such a good friend of ours, we would spring one too. The telegraphers throughout the country are out on a strike. Tell the Negroes to learn a little telegraphy along with other industries it won't hurt him, and opportunity may knock at his door.

Moore, editor Cultured American Magazine. The only way, he said, to make a publication a success was to publish such articles as made for the public good. No abuse of men goes with his pages. No revolutions but such as will be for the good of all. If we can persuade this race of ours to put its dollars into business substantial returns will come. This making tomorrow will show a people who are whiters, but men who do things. We want to emulate the Jews by standing together. Read only such papers as say good things about us. I am making my magazine a success by publishing such things as are good.

Why do so many druggists send to LEE'S tor the Drugs with which to fill your Prescriptions? than any other druggist in the city, and that the druggist who refused to sell you a glass of ice cream soda the other day charges you more for your medicines than Mr. Lee? And did you ever hear of any one being refused anything in Lee's store because of his color? Really, now, do these ideas ever present themselves to you? Why don't you try Lee's Drug Store just once and see if you are not as well pleased as you are with the store that considers you 'unfit' to drink a glass of soda at the counter or soda tables?
