TOPEKA PLAINDEALER PATRONS M'KINLEY SCHOOL WANT WATKINS REMOVED! Forty-four Signed a Petition Saying he is too Old and Fretful-A Younger Man Would Quicken the Children's Progress. Historical Society of State New York Now That all the C PATRONS M'KINLAND WANT WAT Forty-four Signed a Petit and Fretful-A Young Quicken the Chi -41:2 The colored citizens and patrons of McKinley school on the North side have filed a petition with the School Board asking for the removal of S. G. Watkins from the fact that he has been principal there for the last quarter of a century, and of late years has grown peevish and uncertain and is not giving the children proper training. Ninety-five per cent of the colored people are against him teaching any longer and have not been satisfied with him for the past three years. The hard, honest, toiling women, and, especially widows, who have many children and are not able to dress them as neatly as they should be, and also not able to buy books at all times, claim that he sends the children home in a coarse manner without using influence to see proper authorities who assist poor parents in getting clothes when they are not able. We think it is the unbounded duty of the principal of any school to see that poor and needy children are looked after and given assistance by institutions that have been established for that purpose. One who teaches school for just what is in it without any conscience or respect for conditions that surround parents and children is unworthy of the position, especially in colored schools where they should lend their assistance and not whine, complain and sulk because some one does not approach them on bended knee. The petition filed with the Board of Education one day this week reads as follows: To the Members of the School Board of the City of Topeka: We, the undersigned patrons of McKinley school on the North side in the city of Toreka, hereby request, petition MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES Some of the Topeka Concerns That are Prospering. The making of any city depends upon its manufacturing industries, and the success of these industries depends solely upon the quality of their products The Kaw Milling Co has not only contributed largely to the growth and thenominal success of Topeka in the manufacturing world, but the Middle West has equally enjoyed the prosperity brought about through this rapidly growing concern. Kansas wheat has always been a leader in acreage and the world recognizes its quality as being second to none, as are also her great mills which have Leen the means through which the superior qualities of our grain have been given a thorough test and presented to the consumer in a way that would prove its superior quality. Since the opening of the Kaw Mills house wives, chefs, etc., have noticed a revolution in flour. They have the best equip TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1908. and beseech your honorable body to apoint a new principal in place of S. G. Watkins, who is now becoming old and peevish from sickness, such as rheumatism and other allments which impair him from being kind and painstaking with the children, as there have been but few from this school that have ever made a mark of progress during his late years of service. A younger man with more activity and new ideas will do more to push the children and quicken their progress. L. White, Miss Mary Hopkins, James McCord, Jno. Brown, Giant Cornish, W. W.

Perfection Flour, a product of the Kaw Mulling Co., has become a household word throughout the South, East, West and foreign lands where it is barreled and shipped in large quantities. Perfection Flour is the pride of this great concern and of the state and city in which it is produced. It is clean and pure and makes nice white bread, cakes, pies or rolls. Housewives, bakers, caterers, etc., praise it highly for these qualities and say that it is not clammy and sticky like other flour. In speaking of the greatness of the Kaw Milling Co. this sketch would be incomplete should we fail to mention Mr. J. B Nicholson, the manager. He is one of the best pilots that ever managed a concern of any kind, and the growth and success of the Kaw Milling Co. can largely be traced to his door. He is a thorough business man, sober, reliable, industrious and can always be depended upon to perform the duties of any trust that might be placed in him. Mr. Nicholson has given the consumer just what he advertised, and it has made good. He is careful, painstaking and polite and his genial manner and courteous treatment to everyone has made friends for the concern with everyone with whom he chances to deal. Men and managers like Mr. Nicholson are few and far between. They are not only a benefit to the concerns they represent, but a blessing to society and humanity in general. In after years their lives and deeds will stand out as a beacon light and point the way for younger men to follow. The Parkhurst-Davis Co. Victorex Baking Powder, made by the manufacturing department of the Parkhurst-Davis Mercantile Co., is giving better satisfaction than any other on the market. It is free from impurities, healthful, and "makes cooking easy." There is a growing demand for 1914 M. JAMES ELMER HOUSE (Dodd Gaston.) it everywhere, and in Topeka it is used in almost every household. The best hotels, restaurants, etc., in this city will have no other. On every can of Victorex Baking Powder is stamped "Absolutely Pure" which has stood the test of the pure food law. Many cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, etc., have been brought on by the use of impure baking powder, and those who are interested in having good health can guard against this evil by using the Parkhurst-Davis product, which is guar anteed under the law to be pure and healthful. It is a home industry, and all the leading cooks throughout the city use Victorex Baking Powder and are loud in praising its superior qualities.

S'ratford and children, Negroes, who were accused of violating the 'Jim Crow' law Monday by refusing to move to the Negro coach, were dismissed today. They had bought tickets at Coffeyville and were going to Tulsa. They based their defense on the plea of being interstate passengers. The justice upheld their contention, declaring that the separate coach law could not apply to them—K C. Star. JAMES ELMER HOUSE A Young Newspaper Man Who is Gaining a World-wide. Repulation. We present to our readers this week an excellent likeness of Mr. James Elmer House (Dodd Gaston) who is responsible for the "Second Thought" column in the Topeka Daily Capital. Mr. House is recognized as being one of the ablest writers in the country, and if placed at the editorial head of some paper would have but few equals. He is well versed on the status and conditions of this and other countries, and there is no great question either national or international that he cannot write on and discuss in such a manner that persons of the least under- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a serious expression]. standing can gain information and become well posted. He wields a pen with ease and dignity and carries such force that brain and wealth have to notice and consider. His sayings are copied by papers all over the country, and there are many tempting positions with lucrative salaries attached which Mr. House could accept, but he is building a great reputation for him-elf and the Capital, and he hesitates to leave for places that look brighter. Mr. House takes much pleasure in giving witty jokes at the expense of the gentler sex, which we should judge is from the reason that some young lady for whom he cared did not have the wit to reciprocate thereby placing him on the bachelor's roll. Mr. House is 30 years of age, very erect and stands about six feet. He is modest, polite, dignified and a highly cultured gentleman. He was born on a farm in M'Donough County, Ill., and came to Kansas with his parents at the age of nine years, settling in Neosho county. He received a country school education, and spent his early boyhood days in newspaper offices where his great ability could be seen from the beginning. He is a born student, and in literary and debating societies at NUMBER 20 country school houses, Mr. House always won laurels, and at the same time could put the proceedings in print in a manner that would please readers and create deep interest. Mr. House has worked on the Erie Record, a paper published in his home county and other papers in Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. His first venture as a newspaper owner and publisher was at Foster, a Missouri village located about six miles from the line of Linn county. This was years ago when the now widely known and popular writer had scarcely reached his majority. In this proposition he could see fame and fortune staring him in the face. Time proved that he was sowing to the winds and he abandoned the proposition. His experiences in this village were many and varied, the story of which was best told about two years ago in the "Second Thought" column among the "Confessions of Gaston." Mr. House came to the Daily Capital about six years ago and is still winning laurels and friends by the score. He loves home, and his widowed mother, four sisters and a brother are the prides of his heart. RECEIVES KANSAS NEGROES. The President Leaves Cabinet Meeting for Purpose. Washington, May 1.—(Special.) President Roosevelt did an unusual thing today. Contrary to his rule, he left a cabinet meeting to receive a delegation of Negroes from Kansas, composed of Rev. J. R. Ranson of Topeka, Rev. H. W. King of Topeka, Thomas Glover of Wichita, and Shelton French, acting chancellor of the Quindaro university. They were presented by W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury. They are on their way to the Methodist General conference at Norfolk.

Total support and traveling expenses of the ministry, received during the year, $2,738,761.06. Number of annual conferences, 68. The church departments are as follows: Education, publication, missionary, Sunday school, financial, preachers' aid, church extension, and Allen Endeavor; besides her numerous schools and colleges. STARKS ESTATE. The appraisement of the estate of the late Samuel W. Starks has been completed and made a matter of record. It is valued at $36,687.02, which estimate was made by the board of appraisers comprised of L. E. McWhorter, J. C. Gilmer and B. A. Brooks. The estate includes more than $6,000 in one bank and also $300 in another, as well as the real estate owned by the decedent. J. M. Hazelwood, the executor, under the will, has charge of the estate. Starks was state librarian and was one of the best known colored men of the country. He was the chief officers of the colored Knights of Pythias of the world. LAPRESSIONS OF CONDOLENCE.

The second annual meeting of the Texas Negro Business League will be held at Port Worth, June 20, July 1 and 2, 1905. Hon R. L. Smith, President of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Paris, Texas, and Mr. R. C. Houston, Jr., a successful undertaker and the moving spirit in the establishment of the Negro Bank at Port Worth, are earnestly devoting themselves to making the coming meeting an interesting and satisfactory one. Mr. Houston's effort to found a Negro Bank a Port Worth was seconded to the extent of having twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) paid in as the capital stock before the bank was even ready to open its doors. He has been similarly successful in other business directions. Mr. Smith's organization the Farmers' Improvement Society, is, in many respects, the most potent racial organization in that state. The annual meeting of the Mississippi State Negro League is to be held at Vicksburg, July 1 and 2, 1909. Mr. Charles Banks, President of the Bank at Mound Bayou, has built up one of the strongest State Negro Business Leagues in the country. All of the influences that count in the uplift of the Negro people are allied with him in his effort to energize the business and commercial activities of the Mississippi Negro. Plans are also being formed at this time, though no dates have yet been set, for the annual meetings of the Arkansas State Negro Business League, the Indiana State Negro Business League, the Florida State Negro Business League and the Colorado and Virginia Negro Business Leagues. Dr. Booker Washington, the President of the National Organization, recently gave utterance to the following statement in explanation of the purposes of the League: "The League is not a lodge; it pays no death benefits; it has no pass words, gilps, and is not fraternal." It is an organization of Negro business men. It offers to its members the fellowship of the men among the Negro race who have succeeded. It has no honors or dignities to bestow. It is not in politics and is not run by political methods. It recognizes that in a free country like ours it is the individual who counts and that it is in the competition and struggles of business that big men have been developed—men like Carnegie Rockefeller, George Poster Peabody, Robert C Ogden, etc. We have successful business men among us. We want to get them to know each other. As a race we have many special and peculiar business problems to settle. We want to find out what we are doing in a business way and we want the best advice the best business men of the race can give us to assist in solving our special business problems. This is the purpose of the Business League. It has no other purpose. It does not seek to take the place of any other organization. It is like the organization of Negro physicians. Better than papers is a study of facts: How much business are we doing? How about credits? How can we improve our methods of selling etc." "Perfection" flour, manufactured by The Kaw Milling Co.

Troop "M 10th" Cavalry, one troop of the famous 10th regiment, is stationed at Fort Riley, on duty there connected with the School of Equitation, Mounted Service School, of which Capt Henry R. Richmond 10th Cavalry, is troop commander, and 1st Sergeant George Smith, of Troop M., 10th Cavalry, is First Sergeant. This organization has about 99 jolly good members, all good timers, and gave an Easter ball Thursday night, April 16, 1908, in the Post Gymnasium hall, the attendance being about 200 or more of whom about 50 were officers of the post and their ladies. A number were in attendance from Topeka, Manhattan and several other near by towns. Corporal Walter B. Barnes being general manager and Private James T. Williams door manager, the grant march was played at exactly 9 p. m., headed by Private Jas. T. Williams, accompanied by Mrs. Maud Sanford, followed by a stream of fine looking young men all in full uniform, and ladies dressed in many different costumes. They were awarded the privilege of using the hall by the Post Chaplain, from Retreat until Reveille. There were all kinds of refreshments, and all said they had the joyfulest time of their lives. It was said by many in the post that this was the finest turnout they had ever seen given in the post by enlisted men. Friday night the hall was again maintained for the sole use of troop "M", and they had another good time skating. It was learned from some member of this organization that they have never been treated better, had any more privilege, and been better locked after, since they have been soldiering. The men are perfectly satisfied and seem to have nothing to complain about whatever. They have an excellent base ball team of which Lieut. D. D. Thompson is short stop. They have won all the games played this season, and would be glad to have a game with any amateur base ball players. Of course they are not professionals, but they put up a game worth looking at.

Tne nomination of Secretary Taft at the Chicago convention is an assured thing. The present indications are that no other man will permit his name to be presented to the convention as a candidate. Bryan and the Democratic party have given it out cold and flat that they have nothing for the Negro todo. Yet there are a few who possess so little sense as to try to swing on the tail of the Democratic kite. ‘LHe Cosmopolitan banquet is a thing of the past, and as yet none of the participants have died from coming in contact with each other, nor has there been a wild rash of colored men to get white wives. The South should note this fact. As THE time draws nearer, the Stubbs-Leland fight for governor grows hotter. At present each is trying to prove the other to be abolter. If the statements of both sides are true, neither Mr. Stubbs or ‘“Uncle’’ Cy have toted as square as they might have done. Ov1 of all the pleas of Senator Foraker in behalf of jastice and fair play, we have never heard of his advising anyone to vote the Democratic ticket, Senator Foraker is a Republican and so are we. The few Negroes howl- ing against the party can do no harm as they have alway preached Democracy, THE many educational insti- tutions throughout the country will soon close their doors for a vacation of three months. It behoves every black parent to sce that suitable employment is found for their children, and that they are kept at it. The heavy expense of keeping boys and girls in school can be greatly reduced if they are only made to earn asmall portion of the re- quired amount, It makes them not only industrious, but pre- vents their drifting into idleness and crime Theretis plenty work for industrious boys, The many gardeners, fruit growers and farmers throughout the state are glad to give them employment at a wage out of which some- thing can be saved. _—_Life is too short for fathers and mothers to toil and permit themselves to go needing in order to keep a child in school whois amply able to supply all that is necessary, See that your children work, and thus lessen the numver that are sent daily to jails and penial Institutions, Curbing “Jim Crow.” Mescocer, Orta, May 5.—Ups on the refusal of a conductor ona Miseouri, Kaneas and Texis train tunning from Ob'ahoma City to | Mucengee ty eject a Negro who got aboand at OUxlihoms City anil re fuecd to ride in the Jim Crow sce tions, Mayor J. W.steen of Chatapa and A, I. Hausaum, Cominiesioner of Wagner vounty, took the liw in their own hands, ordering the eheriff at Cleveland, OL, to arrest the Negro and take him otf the train. The Negro claimed that he was sid- ing on an interstate ticket. The vace wi'l be taken before the In- terstate Commerce Commierion to avcertain whethar Negroes can rife through the state in the sections reserved for whi.e passengers. Watch the move. it looks sug. picious, It ia good one if ali the pointe are raised and put before the Interstate Commission, but we fear this isa trick to,fool the commission as tothe “eyntt accommodations” on the szveral rows, =A decision was mide some time ago by the Interstate Comm:xeion that in states where Jim Crow lawe evist that railroads can sepirate, providing equal accommodations are furns ished—Pullinan cary, chair care,din ing room, soap, towele, infact, the game accommodations for the eame money forall. The interttate law forbide the intermeddling with traf- fic between the states. If the col- ored peope of Oklahoma go after this infamous Jaw with all their m ght they will crush it out, No- tice, passengers goicg into Oklaho- ma or any atate where Jim Crow exists cannot be interfered with. If they are a damage enit will lie, Stay inthe car, Keep your seat. Don’t be foolish or atraid; the law 18 with you. Tell the conductor to put you out if he wants to. Be kind and polite as well ax dignitied; clean and neat, not offensive, Then, if ejected, sue for damages, On to Des Moines.
