THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. A.M.E.ANNUAL CONFERENCE! The Kansas Wing of This Great Religious Body Shows Commendable Progress. --- VOLUME IX. Now That th A. M. E. ANN The Kansas Wing of T Shows Commen The Kansas A. M. E conference convened Wednesday morning, September 25th, at Parsons, Kansas the Rt Rev Bishop A. Grant presiding The welcome address was delivered by one of the leading ministers of the city. This was one of the best conferences ever held since its organization. Over $1000 was collected. The widows of deceased ministers, superannuated ministers and those of poor charges were given money to assist in their future work. Strong resolutions were passed asking for the return of Bishop Grant to the Fifth Episcopal district. Representatives from other conferences were present and begged that Bishop Grant be allowed to come to their districts. Rev. J. M. Cornor of Ft. Smith, Ark. made a strong speech and it looked as though he was about to capture the conference with his eloquence. He made a piteous plea for Bishop Grant to come to his district, saying that the colored people in that portion of the country need a Moses like him to lead them through the wilderness Resolutions were passed by the various organizations of the conference praising the bishop for the great work he had done in his district. Also one by the organization assisting Douglass Hospital at Kansas City, where sick ministers, their families and any other colored person can go and be properly treated. Prof W T Vernon, registrar of the U S treasury, declared Bishop Grant the greatest living American, and said that it was through him that the great growth of Western University has been established. All was harmonious throughout the session, and there were a number of vistors present. The following delegates and alternates were elected Thursday afternoon to the general conference which will convene at Norfolk, Va., in May, 1908 Rev J R Rassom received 69 votes and will be chairman of the delegates Rev Ward received 58 votes, Rev Braxton £6 and Rev King 47 The lay delegates are Prof Shelton French and Hon Thomas Glover The alternates are Reverends Biggers, Wilson, Ross and Terrill. There were several changes made at this conference which will surprise the many members The address of Prof Hawkins, a member of the election board, was one of the greatest speeches pertaining to the race question that we have heard for years. Much credit is due Rev Sage and the members of the church for their hospitality in entertaining the conference Credit is also due Mrs Louis Glass, who had charge of the meals in the basement of the church. She handled her department in a business and lady-like manner, and cleared a neat sum for the church The conference adjourned to meet in Topeka in 1908, where they will be entertained equally as well as at Parsons LIST OF APPOINTMENTS.

Washington has purchased 18,000 acres of land in Alabama, and will colonize colored people on it. This is the greatest move that has been made by any American man since the days of slavery. This move should be taken up by other colored men and corporations in the West. Let every body praise Booker Washington in the highest. This is the beginning of the great project that has been advocated by us for a number of years. There is no reason why the colored people of the Southern states should not co-operate, buy thousands of acres of land and settle their people upon it. Mr. Washington has sounded the key note. Let those who oppose him now get in line and follow the procession, for he is gifted and gone on to the gorious road. The C. M. E. Conference! The twenty-sixth session of this conference will convene in the city of Topeka at Lane chapel, opening with a musical program by some of the best talent of the various churches. The program October 8th at 8 p.m will be as follows— NUMBER 40. officers will be present: Rev. J. C. Martin of Memphis Tenn.; Rev. H. Bullock, of Jackson, Tenn; Rev. R. T. Brown, of the Christian Index, Jackson, Tenn. Everyone is invited to attend the conference while in session. Bishop Isaac Lane will preside, M. F. WARFIELD, P. E. A. H. NORRIS, Pastor. Fight Statehood. The colored people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory are trying to raise money to send delegates to Washington to ask the president not to sign the Jim Crow statehood bill. It means nothing more nor less than ostracism and deprivation of their rights for the colored people of the new state. Unless the colored people themselves take up the responsibility and defense of their race to the sacrificing of their lives We wish to notify the newly elected governor that if the statement made by him is true as published in The Globe-Democrat, to the effect that he intends to Jim Crow the Negro in the territory and bar them from as many privileges as possible, he had better be careful in administering justice to the people of that country. It is a pity to keep up race conflicts and strife between the two races. The freedmen for many years have enjoyed the rights and privileges of that country. Those who immigrated there and took the land have suffered all kinds of hardships to live on it. And now to be deprived of all this after years of hard struggles, by a lot of Texas and Arkansas rebels who have gone into that country and stolen Indian lands, and are doing it to this day with the assistance of the United States government, whose representatives seem to be sealous and duty bound to reap the gold and deprive the poor, defenseless Negro and Indian who have been living at peace with all the world all these years and now have to come in conflict with this class of people to enron them and their children Our advice to the colored people is to be prepared to protect their land, wives and children. The new state has intended that Haskell and the Democratic party shall lynch, burn and drive the Negroes from their homes. Get guns, ammunition and sleep with one eye open. Be ye always ready, for you know not the day nor the hour when the poor white rebels will pounce upon you. Do not move anywhere, stand up for your rights and demand a man's privilege, nothing more nor less. The sooner this question is settled in that territory, the better it will be for all. The colored people may as well begin at once, and that will stop the conflict, and everybody will be respected. JUNCTION CITY. The rally at the Second Baptist church was a fine success despite the rainy weather. Many from Clay Center and Manhattan were present to assist. Revs. Warder of Manhattan and Cox of Abilene assisted in the services. The papers by Miss Harrison of Manhattan, and Jones of Clay Center, were well prepared and were enjoyed by all present.

It will not be difficult for Bostonians to recall the excitement caused some years since by an enterprising tailoring establishment known in fame for its importance, rounding of the question "Do you yearn for which created the eye it every turn. When this tumor of advertising was at its height, his friendship the Rt. Rey. Mr. Courtney, then but recently created bishop of Halifax paid his first visit to his former to be apton where for a number of years he had been rector of St. Pauls Tremont street which post he had left for the higher dignity in North Scotia. He appeared on the street in the conventional dress of an English blouse, including the long black stockings and knee breeches. Thus attired he was met by the Rev Phillips Brook who paused before and gazed intensively at the unusual figure thus presented. The eyes of the distressed Boston clergyman travelled slowly down the 'call form of his late colleague in the ministry until they rested upon his nether extremities then, extending his hand, he inquired solemnly: "Do you wear pantal". THEY ARE MOST RELIGIOUS Chinese Declared to Be by One Who Has Made a Study of Them. Has Made a Study of Them. How little the white man, especially the majority of those of us who go forth as missionaries to "convert the heathen," comprehend the Chinese character! To the student of Chinese institutions, and the Chinese themselves, it seems outrageous presumption, for the truth is that the Chinese are without doubt the most religious people on the globe, says a writer in Outing. Their religion is a very part of themselves, accepted without discussion from birth. The veriest paper, from a worldly point of view, who lives on one of the hundreds of campans floating before Canton, will deny himself in order that he may perform a particular religious duty. There are no people save the Mohammedans that so completely live up to the faith they profess. China has no divergent churches, no wrangling apostles there is the one creed, of thousands of years standing, to which all yield allegiance and to which all pin a faith that continues unto death incontrovertible. Now and again we hear of a "converted" Chinaman; but I never saw one that had really broken from the faith of his fathers who was not the less trustworthy. In a considerable experience with many kinds of natives in the wilderness of their own country, I have invariably found the most farthest from "civilization" and the "converting" influence of conflicting white man creeds, to be the most honorable and dependable. I mean this as no unkind reflection upon the Christian faith or upon the zeal, often, also, so ignorantly directed, of many good people. in Defense of War What warfare can't be reconciled With modern thought?

The position of women is high in Siam; they enjoy both in business matters and social life a great independence. Though polygam is permitted, it does not exist among the great mass of the people, and in no way affects the position of women. Match-Box Furniture A London hotel keeper possesses a remarkable suite of furnitura. For many years he had collected empty match boxes which were finally made by a skilled cabinet maker into articles of furniture. The outfit consists of a writing table with smoking apparatus, a fire-screen, a cabinet, a chair and smaller articles, in the construction of which many thousands of boxes were employed. Dottie's Prayer. "Please, God, make Mamie Ross a good girl. Plenty make her a awful good little girl. An' if it ain't too much trouble., please make her so good that I can take her new doll, an' still think it a noble an' self sae'feln' never to ask for it back again. Amen!"—Cleveland Leader Poverly's. The town of Poverty has been without kerosene now for ten days or two weeks. Some have actually sat in the dark waiting for bedtime. The motion has been made to change the name of this town.--Caliburn Star. Burolara Are Skapical. On the safe of the Albina Fuel company, Portland, Ore., was the placard: "Save your time. There is no money in the safe." But burglars who could not read or were incredulous broke in open the other night. They found some old books only. NORTH TOPEKA EDITOR PLAINDEALER: I desire to speak of my visit to the Womans Baptist National Convention held in the City of Washington, D. C. I arrived in Kansas City Sept 9th at 6 a.m. and there joined the Kansas City delegation, with Mrs. A. Herald of Omaha. We left at 10 a.m., arriving in St. Louis at 7 p.m., and Cincinnati, O., at 8:15 a. m. of the 10th. We spent four hours there, taking a bird's-eye view of the city while waiting for our train to pull out for Washington. We joined the Memphis and Ark- ansas and at 12:5 we startedr We passed through Kentucky, but most of our journey was thirte West Virginia. A chain of the Alleghany mountains was on our right and the Ohio river was to our left, and for many rules we saw nothing else. We travel at Washington at 10 a.m. sept. 11th and there we meet the largest do. com we ever with sel Rev F. Morris, a resident the convention, made his own dress, which was interesting. He apose of his work during the year and put it stress on foreign mone. The convention was held at Dr Lee's church, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. In the basement the ladies exhibited their needle work, in the making of which they have no equal. This work was done by the women of the United States and was brought here to be sold and the money used for foreign missions. The President, Mrs. Layton, of Philadelphia, in her annual address urged the women to train their children in church and Sunday School work. Miss N. H. Burroughs, Corres. Secy., made her annual report, which attracted great attention from all. She spoke for two and one half hours, and at the last her voice was as strong as when she begun. The only wane was when she spoke of the death of Miss Foster, of Alabama, the extreasurer of the convention. That was the time when there were tears in every eye The convention was largely attended and there were many interesting papers read. Mrs Broughton of Nashville, Tenn., told of her visit to Rome, where she met the World's S. S. Convention. On Saturday we dedicated the training school building which has been purchased by Miss Burroughs. Many interesting prayers were dispatched to Glory, and many a dollar bill was given. I visited the Treasury department, and saw Mr. Vernon in his office. He said he employed 75 to help in his work and 10 of that number were colored. I visited the Capitol, the State, War and Naval departments, the White House and the Washington Monument, which is 505 feet high. I also visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and saw the greenback from its first state, a sheet of white paper, until it was a $10 bill. I was agreeably surprised to see a colored girl in every department of that building, harding the money like the whites. Sunday the 15th, I went over to Baltimore. There I saw some of the nicest Baptist churches we have in our country. Revs. Watkins and Harvey Johnson have the leading churches. I will not take up any more space in your paper, though I could say much more. I left Washington on the 10th, getting home the 18th. I came from Kansas City on the Rock Island and before I could get off we had a wreck. Right in sight of home an east bound train met on the curve and ran into the train I was on. It knocked me out of my seat, crashed the windows and everybody was much alarmed. I was somewhat frightened, but I took up my grip, got off and went home without stopping to see who was hurt. My church says they will not mind me away any more, because in Birmingham, A a , in 1907, I came near being killed in that panic they had there; and this time just escaped in a wreck. The third time is said to be the charm The convention adjourned to meet in New York City, 190s. M D. JONES. 900 Western Ave., N. Topeka. ARKANSAS CITY, KANS. The weather is fine but dry.

This paper has on many oc- ata censured white people for setting aside certain sections of the cemetery as burying grounds for Negroes and refusing to sell them lots other than ia the place set aside for them. It is ndeed inhuman for a man or set of men to carry the color line ‘nto the graveyard, anda care. ful look into the matter through glasses unblinded by prejudice, a person who 1s fair will readily decide that it is not color that ‘makes the Negro an undesirable occupent of the white man's burying grounds, but the careless manner in which the living look after the graves of deceased relatives. A few days ago the writer had occasion to visit the Topeka Cemetery, and we are forced to confess that the lots and graves ‘of the colored people are a blot on the record of our progress, thrift and energy. The tall weeds, old bottles, pieces of broken China, ctc gave it the aprearance of an oki vacant fot used as adumping ground for the i ity srubbish Numerous graves have no head-loards and a low place thichly studded with weeds ‘tells the story of a meplected grave Jt ian easy matter to hecp these graves in good con- dition ata cost of about $2.50 per year, and it will not require five minutes of your time. We do not mean to infer that allof the colored people neglect the graves of their loved ones,as many of them have nice, well cared for lots, but they are too’ far in the minority, How would you like to have a thousand dollar burial plot witha weed patch on either side? Well, we would not like it, and believe the white people who own nice lots in the cemetery feel the same way. Get busy and beautify the graves of your loved ones. FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH.

Even in the matter of length of term Lincoln Institute stands almost in a class by itself among the accredited schools for the education of the Negro. Here a complete ten months' term constitutes the regular scholastic year, which with a smaller term of seven weeks leaves just one month when the school is closed and even then the President is on the ground doing a rushing business. Many schools for higher, as well as industrial training, are just opening. Lincoln Institute opened for the enrollment of students and organization of classes, Tuesday morning, September 3d, while the first faculty meeting was called for Monday, September 2d. The first day's enrollment was the largest in the history of the school; and now, at the close of the first month, four hundred have enrolled Dr. Allen, President, certainly merits the high commendation he receives, locally and from all parts of the country, for the enthusiasm, energy and business acumen which he is throwing into the work of making Lincoln Institute the pride of both races, in Missouri and elsewhere. Graduates of the school who desire to teach are always in demand for high grade literary and industrial positions; graduates who wish to pursue advanced courses of study elsewhere find no difficulty in securing credit for work done here. To illustrate: Miss Josephine Yates, who graduated from the Senior Normal Department last June, at the age of sixteen, received on the morning of graduation, official notice from Kansas University, one of the ranking universities of the country, that the transcript of her studies and marks from Lincoln Institute would give her "Freshman's credit in the university without any conditions whatever." Later, the committee on advanced credits in Kansas University decided that Miss Yates would be allowed to graduate in three years and a half from cutrance date because of the amount of professional work in psychology and philosophy which she had done in President Allen's department. We merely mention this circumstance to illustrate the character of the work that is being done in Lincoln Institute. "Growth" is the watchword and this spirit so fully pervades the student body that the majority become ardent students for life, individual workers in whatever line of work they eventually pursue. President Allen, always alive to the best interests of his race, inaugurated in the first year of his presidency a Farmers' Convention, to be held annually in November, and each year the interest has increased. The next regular session will be held the first Friday in Novem. in the Institute Auditorium at which time and place, it is hoped will be a large number of farmers present from Missouri and the surrounding states, with specimens of products raised upon their reactive farms that will help to demonstrate heir as they are making WINSFIELD KANS.

Great suffering is the lot of all women, who neglect the health of their womanly organs. No reason to do so, any more than to neglect a sore throat, colic, or any other disease, that the right kind of medicine will cure. Take Wine of Cardui for all your womanly ills. It can never do harm, and is certain to do good. Mrs Sallie H Blatr, of Johnson City, Tenn. writes: "I had suffered from womanly troubles for sixteen months, and had four doctors, but they could not help me, until I began to take Wine of Cardul.

Place of next meeting, Galena, July 24, 1908. Let all of us endeavor to do more this term than we have done in the past, realizing as the Order goes up we go up, and as we go up the race goes up. Fraternally yours in T. C. B. We take this manner of announcing to you of the very excellent sessions of the Fourteenth Annual meeting, which was held in the old historic city of Lawrence, Kansas. This was indeed the most harmonious and business meeting we have ever had. A large attendance of representatives and Past Chancellors greeted us. Peace and harmony prevailed throughout the entire session. Much important business was transacted. The endowment department shows a neat increase over last year, numerically and financially. The important feature of the Grand Lodge was the excellent reports of the Grand Lodge officers and representatives. The Grand Court of Calanthe surpassed by far all former sessions. Much has been accomplished through the untiring effort and noble work of Mrs. M. Matley, the Grand Worthy Counselor. The reports showed the department is in a progressive state. Mrs. Molhe Cox, of Wichita, was elected Grand Worthy Counselor. The Uniform Rank Department is our "West Point." There are five (5) companies in the state, viz. Imperial No. 1, Galena No. 3, Sunlight No. 4, Sunflower No. 5, Morning Glory No. 6. Their showing was very creditable, although only a limited number of their companies was present. Imperial No. 1, Wichita, and Galena No. 3, Galena, entered the contest for the prize. Imperial was awarded the first prize, a silk banner and $10 in cash; Galena second prize, $15 in cash. A battalion was organized; Captain T. H. Young, of Galena, was elected Major. Let us again call upon you to take more interest in the Uniform Rank and help to make it a success.

Independence business men are looking forward to the day when they will have a good grocery, a blacksmith shop, a dentist and a drug store. A man walked into a dental parlor a few days ago and asked to have his tooth extracted. The dentist, who was smoking turned around far enough to see the man applying had a dark skin, and said, "Come back again, I'm busy smoking." There was a time in this place when Negroes could have their teeth treated, but it is a crime for blacks to have tooth ache here. This is true. We only wish it was a joke. Mr. Tillman of West Maple is the gentleman who had this little experience with one of our dentists and they all agree. Now, why not offer some inducements to one of our dentists. Let us learn to patronize our race like other nations. Try the Italian, the Greek, and he stands pat for the race. We mean all Negroes ought to stand for the race. The preacher from his pulpit should not neglect to occasionally drop a good strong hint. He could do a great deal of good. I once heard one of our most able clergymen say from the pulpit: "No, never will I fool with a nigger doctor. What can he do? Kill you, that's all." I asked him how he could afford to say much a thing. If his patron should say he was no good but to send souls to hell he could have no success no matter what he might know. Mrs. H. T. S. Johnson, who for some time has been ailing, was taken seriously ill Thursday evening. Under the treatment of our Dr. Coldwell she is now improving. Mrs. Ida Hayes, of Rondal, La., is visiting her sister, Mrs. H. T. S.

Of Col Jol Hayes, who served with District C, seen Stiffell Scott in the Navy, and an ausing story, is told by I. E. Parish in his "Gold Hunters of California." Hayes with his command had been out scouting. On his return he made no report to Gen Scott, who sent for him. Gen Scott was a veritable mart in enforcing military discipline. Admiral Hayes was rented in the commander's headquarters. Scott said: "Col Hayes, I have received no report of your expedition against the padra." "I did not think it worth while," said Hayes. "Every officer of the army is required to make a full report of everything to his superior officer. Please make your report verbally." Hayes began by paying that he struck the padre's trail on a certain day, followed it for two days and on the third day, while his command was resting at noon and taking their sleets, the old padre came down on them. The "boys" gathered themselves together and whipped the Mexicans off, killing quite a number of the padre's command. His own loss was insignificant, one killed and three wounded. "Surprised you, oh!" exclaimed Scott. "Yes; we were not expecting him." "Where were your tickets?" "Did not have any." "What!!" shouted Gen. Scott "A colonel in the regular army of the United States go into camp in the heart of the enemy's country and never place a picket on guard? What would you do if surprised when asleep!" "Shoot the frat man that waked me up," was the cool reply Photographs The price at my Studio is cheap, but the work is of the highest quality.
