THE TOPEKA PLAINDEA ER. VOLUME X. J. R. BURROW IS PRESIDENT Ex- y of State Placed at the head of a Great Topeka financial Institution. At annual meeting of the di- rector Central National Bank evening, Hon. J. Rt. Burr inter Secretary of State, was of president, to succeed P. I Bon who had held the posi- tion five years In 1864 a successor for Mr. Bonchie who retires after his long year constant service—a better than Mr. Burrow could not have been made. He came here but two years ago, from Smith Center, and served four years as Secretary of State. It was while serving in that capacity that his clean business methods became known, and the people of the whole state had an abiding faith in his integrity. The bank is one of the best financial institutions in the great West, and is as strong on the rock of Gibralter. The reins have been placed in the hands of one of the cleanest men in the state. His honesty and integrity are above reproach, and under Mr. Burrow's supervision the institution will continue to thrive and grow like a green bay tree. The business world hails with great joy the advent of such men in our financial institutions. It means that the confidence of farmer, merchant and laborer in such a worthy institution as the Central National bank will not be shaken, and the directors are more certainly to the congratulated upon their excellent judgment in making such a wise selection. Mr. Burrow is careful, painstaking and one of the best business men in the state. In every petition of trust he administered the affairs of the people though they were his own. He is, moreover, one of the most successful and experienced bankers in Kansas. He has been engaged in banking work since 1880, and has been no successful that he is now president of five banks in the eastern part of the state, while for years he has also been president of the Smith Center First National bank, which is quoted as one of the model banking institutions of the state. That the Central National and its new president will continue to grow and prosper in the wish of each and all throughout the city and state. THE GENERAL CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH. NOHOLL, VA. --- The Sub Commission having in charge all matters pertaining to the entertainment of the General Conference has just closed an interesting session in St John's church, this city The full committee was present, consisting of Bishops L. J. Copeland, Philadelphia; W. J. Games, Atlanta; B. F. Lee, Wilberforce; Doctors W. S. Lowrey, Pittsburgh; G. D Jimmerson, Hampton; C. W. Nussell, Norfolk; Thomas H. Jackson, Little Rock; E. W. Lampton, Washington D. C; and Mr. J. L. Mitchell, R. I. Bishop Coppe presided and Dr. Jackson was secretary. Reports were received from the various committees having the work in charge, which indicated excellent progress toward the proper entertaining of the General Conference. The committee on House made a specially encouraging report. Over 400 homes have been secured and many others tendered. The Coun mission expressed itself as highly gratified at progress made. Norfolk is getting ready with enthusiasm. It is not a city of apartment houses and flats, but of detached houses and beautiful cottages. There will be no large grouping of delegates, nor crowding into cheap boarding houses, but the delegates will be cared for in the best homes of the city singly, in pairs, and fours. Norfolk has a population by the latest enumeration of quite seventy thousand, of which fully twenty-seven thousand are colored. In addition to the simple facilities furnished in Norfolk Newport News has tendered fifty homes, Hampton fifteen, Borkley thirty, and Portsmouth one hundred. All these are embraced in greater Norfolk The Sub Commission completed its work by the appointment of various committees, including one on Program, the committee consisting of Bishops Coppin, Gaines, Lee, Drs. Reynolds, Jimmerson, Lampton, and J. L. Mitchell; one on Transportation and one on Publication. L. H. RLYNOLDE. PUSHING A COOD THING. A good proposition presented by a good man always succeeds in Topeka. This is the reason that can be assigned for the signal success being made by Mr. A. R. Jackson, organiser of the True Roormers of Richmond, Va. This is the strongest Negro institution in existence, and is doing more to aid and assist the [Name] Negro race than anything that has come under our observation. This institution is the father of Negro banks, and its 28 years of uninterrupted success has placed it in the front rank of the best financial concerns. It is backed by brain, finance and ability. Mr Jackson has already succeeded in getting twenty five of our best people to take hold of the proposition. More should follow. See him and read the literature. Mr. Jackson can be found at 201 Jackson street. ON THE CLANSMAN. To the Editor of the Capital Thomas Dixon is evidently very proud of his theatrical production. In his own opinion he is accomplishing great things. He is influencing the people to think one way. They are realizing more fully how beautiful the negro is. Mr. Dixon is as compulsive this. But whom is he influencing? We will know that the better class of thinking people give the play no thought. It does not contaminate a thoughtful, logical mind. It does not work among the ordinary class of white people among those who walk the same path as the negro in the industrial world. It influences those whose rival in the labor force the negro is. The audience Wednesday night was of this type of whites. A few highly respectable people were there because of the motorliteracy of the play and for study, but its absturdity had no influence over them. They simply looked to the origin of the play. A narrow, degenerate, selfish mind can produce nothing but evil. The mind of the author of this play is just such a mind. The print of a unballed brain will always be lost. It is sometimes the smugging to a nigger who is struggling to make something of himself if he sees such things being used to touch him of war. He struggles on life is tough enough, without any artificial obstacles being placed in the way. We grow up not just social equality. In a college it is a school of both whites and blacks you surely see a regiment of people that want to see the school there are TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31, 1908. always some courteous white students who insist upon his being there, but he seldom gives. Why? Because he is not seeking and does not want it to seem that he is seeking social equality. He realizes that he will not be benefited himself, nor will he benefit others by going. Mr. Dixon makes the desire for such equality the basis of his play. The Lieutenant Governor is not a fair type of the educated negro. Why did not Mr. Dixon present to us a negro of the Fred Douglas type, or the Booker T. Washington type, of the Tanner, Turner or Grant mold? Why? Because he could not attribute such a respectable character to Governor Lynch, nor could he weave into the story such a character and use it for the purpose he desires. Governor Lynch was the only intelligent negro in the play, and he was anguished, unmanly, and, above all, un Christian. The remainder of the negroes were of a lower and more ignorant type than one can find in "Smoky Row" or any other "Red Light" district. They were so many a mass of ignorance, ruled by an unmind. They had been free but a short time, knew nothing, were incapable of doing anything but follow, and we and them in the hands of the schism, unhonorable Governor Lynch. They are not even a fair type of the most ignorant of negroes. As Mr. Dixon has depicted these characters, they are not living beings or creatures, but personified ideas. One never sees on the street, in the drive, or in the prison, a negro so degenerate as those shown in this play. Mr. Daven contemplates taking his company to Europe. It will not create as much ill will there, however, as it would here. He goes to such extremes, and pictures such horrible beings, that people readily see that the play is overdrawn. It will not impregnate Europe with the Southern idea. There are no few negroes in Europe, and those who go there from here are so gentlemanly and upright, that the pictures of the brutes will arouse no commotion, and will be but a floating whim. Mr. Dixon can do us no harm by draw in us as we are. It is by exaggerating our faults and diminishing our virtues and achievements that he detracts sympathy and friendship from us. We need friends, but it is not sympathy that we desire; it is not equality that we seek; it is not social recognition that we clamor for; it is not judicial preference that we contend for; but it is opportunity that we tool and struggle for. We want an opportunity to polish our metal, to develop our reason, to broaden our minds, to open our eyes, and to allow us to grasp the highest and best in education, in religion and in life. NEGLECTED NEGRO CHILDREN. From the Kauai Lau Star. from the Kansas City Star. Social neglect is wayward of romantically inclined negro boys and girls in the most shortsighted policy. But the fact of this neglect exists and demands remedy. There is now only very nearly formatory provision for small negro offenders—too young to be sent to prison—and there is none at all for negro girls of that class. Judge McCum of the Juvenile court recently cited the cast of a colored girl who became known to the police as a thief when about 13 years old. From her first detected depredations to the time she was 10 years old, nothing could be done with her or for her. In that three years she was arrested ten or twelve times for so many offenses. There was no place to keep her for more than a day or two at a time. When she was 16 years old she committed another theft and, having traced the age of amenable to law, was sent to the state penitentiary, where she is now The condition here illustrated is not fair to the negroes and certainly is not fair to society itself. The serious class of young negroes of today is largely the result of neglecting them in their youth. The idle, immoral negro boys and girls of today are the pretty well developed persons of confirmed negro criminals of later times. Prevention is always better than cure. That the conclusions stated are facts and not unsupported theories is proof by the increase of criminality in the black race since it was less, unaltered, to shift for result. The rebellious man and women among the negroes have felt and feel now the pathos of the struggle of the race. The white members of society have been too much included to view only the criminality of the black people. It is time now for their hate societies, for the commonwealth of Missouri and the community of Kansas City, to recognize its own responsibilities and not count the cost in money and mental reaction against any movement to aid the negro boys and girls to contend to the standards of law and decree.

Benson, of the 25th Senatorial district and a resident of El Dorado, is serving his second term. He was first elected in 1896 and served to 1900 and was returned in 1904. He will be re-elected this fall if he so desires. Mr. Benson is a dignified, upright, conscientious gentleman and looks after the interest of his constituents and the welfare of the state. HON. G. L. CHAPMAN. Hon. G. L. Chapman, Great Bend, Barton county, of the 25th Senatorial district, is one of the hardest workers in the Senate.

He has lived in the district 35 years and is one of the leading business men of the county and president of the First National Bank at Great Bend. The counties of Barton, Rice and Stafford are in his district which has some of the wealthiest farmers and stock raiders in the state.

He is on all of the most important committees He has pleased his constituents and is now asking the people of his district for a seat in Congress. Senator Young has a strong following, and the man who defeats him will have no time to sleep. SENATOR GAITY Senator James F. Petty of the fourth senatorial district, Wyandotte county, is one of the ablest representatives of that body. He is honest in his convictions and is a strong and forceful debater. When he arises from his seat in that graceful and dignified manner, he attracts attention both from the galley and the body, and is often applauded for the manner in which he forces his argument that usually wins points raised by him. He is one of the best lawyers in Kansas, and among his clients are some of the wealthiest men of the country. HON JAMES BRADLEY One of the most prominent business men in Kansas is Hon. James T. Bradley of Sedan, who is national bank examiner. He has lived in Kansas 33 years and is a Missouri by birth. He has been engaged in the banking business nearly all his life and is considered one of the greatest financiers in the West. When the First National Bank of To, eka failed, he was placed in charge, and through his hard and faithful work and honest dealings the bank was able to pay almost dollar for dollar to the depositors, not withstanding the fact that he found the bank in very bad condition, and it looked hopeless to the depositor. He has been receiver of several defunct banks and has always been able to leave the depositors in good shape. Mr. Bradley is a man who is very wealthy, although he started in life without a cent. When he arrived in Sedan he was penniless and knew but one person. He worked himself up from a poor boy, worked on the farm and taught school. He is a graduate of the State Normal, and has held the positions of county superintendent and mayor of Sedan. He has become so prominent that his many friends urge him to become a candidate for governor. They will not cease until he accepts some responsible position in force he gets much older. Kansas needs more men like Mr. Bradley. SENATOR W. J. CONNOR Senator W. J. Connor, who represents the eleventh senatorial district, Labette county, has been a resident of Kansas for over forty, years and a representative of this district for four years. He is an active member of the senate and is a member of five different committees.

ATCHISON, KANSAS The Flaindealer columnist is to be congratulated for the capture at Coffeyville of the confidence man, the rowing Negro lawyer and newspaper man Green, alias Berry, Jones, etc. This literary discipline faced a few people of this and other cities, but diamonds and gold mining at Independence, Mo., made him a much wanted man, hence he is now in the clatches of the law of Missouri and will be dealt rightly with The Atchiron column of the Enterprise expresses some teacher to the bad. It has started speculation a going at the expense of more than one teacher, and more than one teacher feels that since the writer of the article seems to know more than they do, he should show the teachers the courtesy of being more specific.

Most him on the street with other white men at any time, and even with his family, if he knows a colored man he will speak to him. Many preachers and churches can point to the kind hand of Halse the servant tells us. W. P. Waggener will not allow his children to humiliate us with the word "nigger." H.

ARES AMAM The Negro in Politics A graphic politicui history of the Negro in the United States has been presented in an engraving just issued, entitled, “Colored Congressmen." Alabuma sent three colored men to Congress; Florida sent one; Georgia, onc; Mississippi sent two to the Senate and one to the House of Representatives; Louisiana and Virginie sent one each; North Carolina sent four, and South Carolina heads the list by sending eight. This engraving contains excellent portraits of these twenty-two representatives of the race, the date of their service and the Congress In which they served. It is sold by The Colored American Novelty Company, of Washing- ton, D, C., and is not only unique and attractive in appearance, but shows graphically the political status of the Negro.
