THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XI. The "Black Job Hunters Association" Sends a Committee to Make Known Their High Standing and Fitness for Representative Posltions. The following from the Kansas City Journal of the 25th inst. certainly reaches the limit. The Journal says: NEGROES WANT OFFICES! TOPEKA, Jan. 24. (Special.) A committee representing the Negro League of Kansas held a conference last night with Governor Stubbs and Speaker Dolley in regard to patronage to be given the Negroes under the new administration. The committee was headed by Judge T. F. Bradley, of Kansas City, Kans., who ran on the Hearst ticket at the recent election for attorney general, against his consent, and who led that ticket. Bradley says the league stands for the best Negro citizenship of the state, and, it feels that the new administration should give the Negroes substantial recognition in patronage matters. The committee urged the governor to give them one important place in grain inspection department, one important place in the oil inspection department, if possible a place on the board of control, and in the event the board of pardons is revived, one place on it. While Governor Stubbs and Mr. Dolley made no specific promises, they declared they wanted to treat the Negroes right in patronage matters and that they would take the request of the committee and adjournment. Members of the committee were very prompt to let the governor know that they didn't belong to the Nick Chiles wing of Republican Negroes. Coffees is the Topeka Negro editor whom speaker Dolley objected from the speaker's room a few days ago. This is why the colored race fails to progress faster. They are handicapped by a few pirates like a majority of the committee that called on Dolley and Stubbs to present their claims for positions. They never had sense nor courage enough to go direct to the governor, but played the old Southern darkey "before de wah" by entering the back door and asking the "overseer" permission to speak to old"mastah." They had heard of our arraiment of Dolley, chairman of the Republican state central committee for promises made and broken and how he charged and blatted when we called him down, and ordered us out of his office. These pirates pretended that they thought Dolley forced us out and they laughed grinned, and showed the white of their eyes and said "Mars Joe you done old Nick just right"" Dolley said, "Boys I'm glad to see you, and will be pleased to assist you for I know Nick Chiles don't represent the colored people." "That's right 'Mars' Dolly, we represent the best citizens of the race and don't train with the Nick Chiles wing of the Republican party." Now let us review the history and leadership of the following big guns who called: T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth was against Taft and never gave employment to a Negro in his life Sol. G. Watkins has been in the Democratic party, made speeches and headed a resolution to vote against Taft and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 29, 1969. fought him openly. He has taught school for over twenty years and conld not give a colored person a job if his life depended upon it. Jim H. Guy, a chronic seeker for a diplomatic position fought Judge Taft and went to Chicago to oppose his nomination. He came back, made speeches for the Republican party and fought Judge Taft on the sly. I. F. Bradley was a candidate on the Independent ticket for attorney general in 1908 He has always wanted office and a ready "runner" at all times. There were three good, honest farmers of Wabaunsee county on the committee who are members of the A. C. C. club of that county. They were inveigled into the trap to join these pirates by Jim H. Guy. Here are the real facts: An organization bearing the name of "Progressive League" and owned by Bell, Watkins, Guy and Bradley passed a resolution favoring the appointment of a committee to call on Gov Stubbs and ask that some colored man be given a good paying position. President Bell had the nameing of the committee and appointed the above named pirates who are standing candidates for any political preferment they can get. Last Saturday was the time set to put on a "stunt" before the Governor, but instead of going direct to his office they went up the back way to Dolly's office to ask him what they should do. Upon Dolly's suggestion they left their wants with him and proceeded to the office of the Governor. Here they informed him that they just called to pay their respects and shake hands. Of course he told them he was glad to see them and to call again. The "committee" never got any further than the outer door. The sanctorium, where matters are talked over was closed to them. When we asked Bell their mission he said only to shake hands with the Governor. We remarked, "you Negroes want to shake hands awful bad to pay railroad fare to come away up to Topeka to shake." We thought however that probably they were crazy enough to do such a thing and accepted it as the truth, but Dolly gave the thing away and the Kansas City Journal got the story that appears above. The contemptible part of the whole affair was their trying to curry favor with Joe Dolly by indoising his insulting remark that the editor of this paper get out of his office. This shows their true character and the extent of their great love for racial advancement. We shall contend for the rights of all and especially those discriminated against on account of color. Dolley has two janitors in the House and one white man to boss them. This we said was not enough if the colored brother was to receive no more. There are four janitors in all but two belong to the Democrats. They were allowed five appointments and gave two to the colored people. If these pirates were so deeply interested in the race receiving recognition why weren't they with the writer when we told Joe Dolly of his false promises to the race, and were asked out of his office? The Progressive League is made up of Demo-Pops, weakkneed Republicans and a few stalwarts who are way in the minority. The president is a weak Republican and the secretary a rabid Demo-what-not. We would like for someone to tell us who the "League" represents outside of the job hunters that own it. Celebrate Allen's Birthday. To the ministry and laity of the African Methodist Episcopal church included in the Missouri, North Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, California and Puget Sound conferences: One of the duties which comes with force to the A.M.E church at this stage is that of preparing a house for the aged ministers and their wives. When a minister has given from twenty to fifty years in extending the borders of his church and building up its interests and must retire, having sacrificed his personal interest, and for this reason has not where to lay his head in his declining years, the church should at least furnish him a home in which he can end his days in peace and quiet The last session of the General Conference of the A.M.E. church accepted the proposition which came from General W.J. Palmer of Colorado, giving a valuable piece of property for the above mentioned purpose, in Colorado Springs, if the connection would construct a building within a reasonable length of time. The Colorado, Kansas, North Missouri and Missouri conferences subscribed at their last sessions, something over $4000 to be set aside as a building fund for a national home for the worn-out and retired ministers of the A.M.E. church. I am now writing to ask that each pastor request an offering of the people in his charge Sunday, Feb'y 11th which is the 149th birthday of Richard Allen; and that a program be prepared appropriate for the occasion at which the offering is to be taken for the "home;" and that on this day each minister who subscribed to this fund, pay his own subscription, putting the same with that given by the people, and forward to J W Braxton, No. 230 S. Wahatch avenue, Colorado springs, Colo. Do this, and God will bless you and you will have the everlasting gratitude of the aged ministers of the connection. Trusting that you will give prompt attention to the above, I am. INDEPENDENCE, KANS. Miss Fern Ellson of Paola is visit iug relatives. Miss Juanita Adams is visiting her mamma, Mrs. M. B Adams.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE Dr. Allen has received and accepted a cordial invitation from the citizens of St. Louis, headed by Dr. Stevens to be the orator of the occasion for the "Lincoln memorial service" which will be held in Central Baptist church February 12th. He has also received from Dr Washington a pressing invitation to attend the Tuskegee conference and will accept if circumstances permit. The Senior class of '09 will as is usual with each senior class observe Lincoln's birthday by rendering an excellent program. It is interesting to note that the gavels used in both the Missouri senate chamber and the house of representatives were made by students in the mechanical department, were presented by Dr. Allen, and accepted with enthusiastic applause. Dr. Allen is also the recipient of a very cordial letter from Governor Hadley requesting that the students of the industrial department prepare a certain part of the wood that is to be used in the construction of a new steamship for lake purposes to be known as the "United States" ELLSWORTH, KANS. Miss Grace and Noble Taylor visited in Ellsworth last week and it is needless to say, were welcome visitors in the home of the Carpenters, who gave a dinner for them.

A number of new students have enrolled since the holidays and most of the old ones have returned. The enrollment for the year in nearing the 350 mark, the largest in our history and 17 per cent. greater than last year. The subject "Should Women Be Allowed to vote?" was debated last Friday evening by the 20th Century Business Society on the affirmative and Society of Printers on the negative, the judges awarding the decision to the latter. The rich sentiment in "Mother's Sacrifice,"our 1909 musical creation composed by Miss Viola Kuney, is very striking and captivative. The soft, sad strains and ther the happy joyful musical phrases, depict the lights and shadows in thousands of toiling mother's lives, who are sacrificing daily to keep their children in school. It is a fine inspiration from Negro brains and a high compliment to the American mothers of the race Lincoln's 100th birthday anniversary will be fittingly celebrated. Papers and speeches interspersed with vocal selections will be of unusual importance on this occasion. PERRY, OKLA.

AN Associate Press dispatch from Baltimore, Md., under date of Jan. 25 says: "Cardinal Gibbons today exspessed himself as opposed to the proposed amendment to the state constitution known as the "disfranchisement" amendment. There has been little attempt to conceal the fact that the purpose of the amendment is to deprive the greater part of the Negroes of Maryland of their votes, and the cardinal bases his opposition to its passage upon his belief that only the Negroes will be disfranchised, and that they should not be thus discriminated against." A BILL was introduced in the House one day this week by some young fop to prevent the marriage of whites, blacks, or yellow races. He reserved the Indian as the white man is not through robbing him. Every time some Negro accidently marries a relative of a representative in some state, he will always be found pushing Jim Crow legislation. Intermarriages are so few that a law of this character sounds silly. The colored race is not making any bids to get into the white race, but the whites have run over themselves to mingle with the blacks and the proof is visible on all sides. It is not generally known that this country has a Negro as minister to a foreign country, in South America, and a member of the Kansas delegation tells the Capital that he is recognized as the most efficient of our ministers to that continent, belonging to most of the clubs in the city, and a popular and influential man. When the individual colored man is treated on his merite, some approach will be made to a solution of the "race problem"—T. e. Popeka Daily Capital. D. B.
