THE The Negroes of Kansas A MATTER THE NEGRO SHOULD Booker T. Washington Schools---Warns Negro Spending Their Ears Booker T. Washington Appeals for Better Schools---Warns Negroes Negroes Against Spending Their Earnings Foolishly. Again, I beg to request that you permit me through the columns of your valuable newspaper, to address the colored people of the south in relation to a matter which is of the most vital pressing and critical importance upon a matter upon which very largely depends the whole future of our time. I call attention to the matter at this time because our people is a whole have more money just as this period of the year than true of any other period. I am most anxious and I conceived that they shall husband their money and that it shall not be squandered for things without which they can get along, and that a large proportion of it shall get toward the education of the masses of the race. During the fall of the year and at the Christmas season, our people literally wrote thousands of dollars that might be spent for their permanent welfare. I would particularly through your newspaper much the people of the smaller towns and country districts, where not less than eighty five per cent. of our people live. With but few exceptions, the provision made for the public schools for Negro youth throughout the country districts is very poor. The school terms are short and in many cases the teachers themselves have not had education one right at them to uphift those whom they are called upon to teach. There are many exceptions, of course, but in the main, what I have stated is true. I am making the appeal more especially for the children of the mission between the ages of five and sixteen years of age, who must get all of their education in the public schools. Few of these can or will be sent away to a bonding school, an industrial school or a college. If the rank and file of our children do not get their education in the public schools, they will get none at all. If the children of this generation grow up in ignorance, it goes with out saying, of course, that the children of the next one also will grow up in ignorance, and the race will perpetually have fastened upon it stupefying ignorance and all the attendingills. Leaders among our people in every community throughout the South should make it a duty to keep in close and sympathetic touch with the public school officials. They should secure every doll it possible for school buildings, for school pupils, for good teachers, and for the extension of the school term, but if the school authorities cannot, or will not provide these requisites for the education of our children, every community should organize movements through which the children may be educated. They should be educated at any cost. The people should tax themselves to supplement what the public schools are already doing. I know at this time of communi tien where the school term has been extended to six and eight months by the simple planning of a "school farm." On the school farm, cotton and other products are raised and the money used for a supplementing the school term. If some commun ities have done thus, others can do it. The colored people of Mason county, Alabama, the county in which I live, raised more than $3000 last year by extra taxation to help educate the children of the country VOLUME IX. schools. Many new schools have been built and a majority of the schools have had their terms extended to six and eight months as a result of this organized movement. I very much hope that simply organized move may be undertaken throughout the South by our people. The teacher who comes in a community without imposing the school-house or lengthening the school term needs to be replaced by a better and more enterprising teacher. At this time the most urgent need is in three directions: First, Good school houses. Some of the schoolhouses at present in use are not fit for cattle to use, and united effort to improve this condition of all its should be made. Second: Organized effort should be detected everywhere to extend the school terms to at least six and eight months in the year. A three or four months school term means practically nothing in the education of children. Third: A good teacher, by all means, should be secured, and when secured, should be retired. A good teacher cannot afford to reean unless he is well paid. It is impossible for a good teacher to remain in a community and receive only $15 or $20 a month. A teacher really worth having should be paid at least $10 or $40 dollars a month and for six or eight months in the year. In closing this communication, I would urge that now is the time of year for each community through its ministers and other leaders, to give attention to this matter. Now is the time of year that the people have money; to delay until after the Christmas season will mean that the money will have been squandered and a permanent improvement will have been brought about. If necessary, meetings should be called at once to direct the people's attention to this important matter. In every part of the South, there are some white school officials who are interested in the education of the Negro and just in proportion as we can convince them that we are willing to do all in our power in encouraging self-help, I feel that I like proportion good results will follow. Moral and religious training should at all times go hand in hand with the mental improvement of the children TOPEKA BOOKER F. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

She was 80 years old and took a prominent part in church work. She was highly esteemed by all who knew her NUMBER 46 Didn't Offer Resolution the Against Negro Mail Clerks. The Wichita Colorphobist Declaires to Congressman Murdock That he Has no Objection to Colored Clerks. We met Congressman Victor Murdock on route to Washington last week and in conversation with him he said the white man should get together on the Negro question, that he wished to deal fairly and the ten million Negroes of this cannot go to the white man, but the white man should go to the rest of the Negro. The Negro constituted part of the seventy-five millions of this country, and is entitled to the rights and benefits of any other race, and that he was going to use his efforts to bring around the desired friendly feeling which should exist between all races. When asked to this man, Reed, who made such vicious charges against the colored postal clerks, he said that he had conversed with Reed, and that he denied having introduced the charges or having anything to do with them, and that he claimed to be a friend to the colored people. We asked Mr. Murdock in reference to the reduction of the Southern representation in Congress, and he said he was in favor of it, because men like John Sharp Williams and other Southern representatives go to Congress on 12,000 votes, while it takes 35,000 for him. This is unfair, and Congress should change this by reducing the Southern representation. It is the duty of Mr. Murdock and the Republic in party to see this is done. EMPORIA. We visited Emporia last week, and everybody seemed to be contented and getting along in the same old way. There are several colored students attending the Nor mal this year. Mr. David Tipton and son are busy engaged in moving houses. He is at Orange City, having all he can do, while his son, Clarence, is keeping up the Emporia end. We had the pleasure of seeing the beau tiful embroidered table cloth of Mrs. Tipton, which took the first prize at the state fair at Emporia. It is a handsome piece of handiwork, and very valuable. We are more than pleased to find a woman of our race engaged in catering. Mrs. D. A. Weeks of Emory cannot be surprised in this line, and has very few equals in the city. She is in demand at all times both in and out of the city. She employs from two to five young ladies to assist her at various times. This is a business in which more of our women should engage, as it is a paying business. Mrs. Weeks is forging her way to the front, and it would be well for ladies who desire to engage in this business to comfort with her. Mrs. R. A. Allen is another ind- strious lady who owns good property and in making headway. Mrs. May Helm, 922 Syvan, is our correspondent and agent. See her if you have business with The PLANDEAER. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brown have purchased a fine piece of property in Emporia and are doing fine. He is employed in the baggage department at the Santa Fe depot. The young men of Emporia have organized what is known at the "Jolly Five" club. Mr. Clarence Lipton is one of the officers and Mr. P.M. Lyle is president. The object of the clubs to get young men who are self sustaining and those who are trying to engage in business for themselves to learn trades. No loafers nor idlers will be admitted to this club. ) Missce Inez Jeane and Melissa McPike of Lawrence were guests of Missce Clara Williams and Bessie Bennett last week. Mrs. W. C.

The high compartment of the Knights and Ladies of Protection was in place and well received. The music rendered by the Wilson orchestra and the instrumental solo by Mrs Rosa Childress more than pleased the audience. The solos rendered by Mrs L. H.

They are doing a great work We ask all of our members to come to the Our conception of man is high touched in proportion to we desire the divinity in him. The purpose of the ecumenical is to destroy image of God in man. It is a will of God that man should contemplate his image, the fate reckonment through blood. All good in the universal points toward God. Nothing is good that puts away from them. Observe this rule and you cannot be mistaken in what is right and wrong. In conversation with some of the members of St John, it is evident that a number of those who call themselves the lumber of the fold get more food from the end table, where they gumble, for they play for prizes; and at the theatre and in the dance room than they get from the class or priest meeting. How do you account for that? When that is easy enough if you have no spiritual appartenance you have no need for spiritual food and some means out to live you cannot get the food you like. Who ever heard of a theatrical being upred with pride, a game of co-being closed with the bounty from when these things became so pure and holy that they prompt one shall invade divine beasts upon them then it will be time for Christians to defend them.
