THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER V1 LUME XI. Some of Our Journalistic Bros. Should Cease Trying to Tear Down This Most Worthy Institution. It seems that the subscribers to the Kansas City Son and the Professional World should demand better "stuff of the editors than the "rot" they give out each week about Lincoln Institute, the great school at Jefferson City. If people would believe all they say they would get the impression that President Allen was a mercy boy and did not know what he is doing. The truth of the matter is the school has never had a more officer head and one who has the interest of his people at heart more than President Allen. No sensible race loving man would believe that the Negroes of Mi souri are not satisfied with Lincoln Institute and its very efficient head when in six years they have increased the enrolment from about 200 to 600 and have graduated from the full course more than half the 428 graduates of the school. President Allen has done more to help poor boys and girls in one year than the quasi editors of the "weaklies" have done in a lifetime. His students honor and love him and he is too valuable a man to be misrepresented and insulted by a set of fellows who represent actually nothing. These fellows, especially the editor of the Professional World is are not sincere and are making a grand stand play by harping on the farm and industrial work for Negroes. He heard the governor of the state say that he is in favor of industrial work for Negroes and he hopes to curry favor harping on that too President Allen is in favor of industrial work and has done more to develop that kind of work than any body else. A school can never succeed when there are so many incompetent fellows meddling. The longer a man like President Allen stays in a position like that the better it is for the places. President Allen cannot be replaced, The good patrons of Lincoln Institute ought to rise up and condemn in no uncertain terms the small fellows who wish to rise up in the world by pulling a man like Allen down. If these papers wish to keep the race the can find other things to do besides training their guns on Lincoln Institute The editor of the Professional World is working at the capital where the Negro is "jim-crowed" in the toilet room, and not a word has he said in his paper against it. The people ought to get tired of these fellows are sending out to them each week and demand something better. We can never hope to put the race on a solid footing when the so-called leaders are wasting all their time and energy in fighting the besttrained men we have shame on Missouri for tolerating it WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Examinations are the order of the week. A healthy development and increased efficiency is evident on every hand, in scholarship, labor, deportment and household science. Dr J C Caldwell, General Officer of the AM E church, addressed the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. 19, 1909. Christian Endeavor society in chapel, Sunday evening "Thought rules the world, therefore learn to be thinkers. Genius is nothing but hard work. Doing is the keynote of this Twentieth Century. Service and usefulness in this world's cry. Therefore, get ready now; prepare yourselves by drinking deep in your studies and trades and your selected line of industry." The Doctor and his talented wife were the guests of President French The resolutions adopted by the students and teachers last Sunday evening out of respect to the death of Gen Wm. J. Palmer, a benefactor of our institution and our race, were mailed to his family, at Colorado Springs. Last Friday evening, at Independence, Mo., Miss Viola Kinney, the composer of "Mother's Sacrific," which is now the talk of 25 states, was given a great ovation by the people of her native state. The whole state of Missouri will be proud of this one of her talented daughters who has opened the eyes of the whole nation to the possibilities within the grasp of our young people, and raised the standard of our music to one of honor and pride. Miss Kinney was raised in Sedalia, and every Missourian to a man and mother is standing behind pushing the sale and purchase of her copies. WESTERN TUSKEGEE The faculty, students and friends of the institution are rejoicing over the liberal appropriation made us by the legislature recently adjourned. This means facilities for better work in all departments. While it has always been the aim of the institution to do all work possible, the additional funds that will now be available, means a broadening in the scope of our curriculum that will materially benefit the school. We have been favored with visits from a number of parents recently, all of whom have been greatly pleased with the results being accomplished Among those spending some time with us last week were Mr J. R Rogers of Princeton, Kins, Mrs. Delia Groomer of Vinita, Okla, and Mr. N. D. Lyons of Coffeyville. The Acolian club, under direction of Miss J. D. Ballentyne, entertained the faculty and students last Friday evening. A musical program was rendered the first part of the evening, and later, musical games entertained the guests. A delicious supper was served which had been prepared by members of the Domestic Science department. All agree that this has been the most enjoyable social of the year. It has been the custom during the winter months to render a sacred concert every Sunday afternoon in chapel. These concerts have been under direction of the various religious organizations of the school, and have been well attended by our city friends. Beginning with next Sunday we returned to our regular Sunday services with preaching by one of the city pastors. Spring work has begun on the farm. Ten acres have been rown in oats later to be planted with alfalfa The ground has been prepared for the regular crops of corn potatoes, onions and other produce rated annually. LEXINGTON NOTES. While in Lexington, Mo., last Sunday we visited Rev. Brooks' church and after the regular service we had the pleasure of addressing a few remarks to his congregation His church is one of the best in Missouri. Miss Maggie Johnson has entered the piano contest. Another little lady is also expected to enter The funniest thing we heard while in Lexington is that colored people are not permitted to rent telephones. A colored law firm of Kansas City has been retained to institute proceedings. The 'phone company is violating the law, and should be brought to time. OLD WORLD NEWS (From Our Own Correspondent.) The trial of Dinizula,chief of the Zulus for treason has just been concluded at Greytown. Dinizulu was fined $500 and is to suffer imprisonment for four years. I have just read of a most unconventional engagement and feeling sure your readers will enjoy the humor I am sending the following which appeared in the personal column of a Warsaw newspaper: "Will the young lady in pink with the glorious dark eyes, who accepted a young students' proposal of marriage at last night's ball kindly let him know her name and address so that the wedding may not be delayed?" News from German South, West Africa, shows that a tremendous diamond fever has taken hold of the colony accompanied by the worst features of an American gold fever. Adventurers of the dangerous type are gathering round the diamond fields and unheard of speculations are the order of the day. Another serious social danger is the manner in which the natives are engaged for work. This amounts to almost slavery, inasmuch as the natives are sold and resold and commissions taken for procuring them. Their wages and treatment are all right, but the natives are now unwilling to work at the other mining industries for the old wages, or, in fact at all as they can hope for greater fortunes in the diamond fields. In the accounts in several European newspapers of President Taft's inauguration, I notice that each one speaks in terms of highest praise of the Filipino band. It will be remembered that the director of this band is Mr. Walter Loving, a young colored man who is a native of Washington D. C. After studying music in Boston for several years, Lieutenant Loving entered the army and during the Spanish-American war he was given charge of the band connected with the Forty-eighth volunteers. The success of this band during their stay in the Philippines was no great that at the close of the war Lieutenant Loving was offered the directorship of the Constabulary band and very wisely accepted. He at present holds the PLAINDEALER PIANO CONTEST. The subscription price of The Plaindealer is 50c for three months, $1 for six months, $1,50 one year. Each penny counts one vote. rank of lieutenant in the United States Army. Lieutenant Loving is highly respected in the army and by a host of friends both in America and in the Philippines not only for his musical ability but also for his sterling qualities as a gentleman. YALE. KANS. Rev Lamat and daughter, of Oklahoma, were in Yale Tuesday.

Skenees on East First street The Willing Workers were entertained Wednesday evening by Mrs. Amanda Combes at her home on Kansas avenue. In a morning's paper, in speaking of the event last night, states that the church is divided into two factions, "washers women" and "philosophers." To be sure we have more business laundry work, but the do it well, are paid well for it and have no reason to be ashamed of the occupation. Therefore they are in the way in which they are referred to by the Capital reporter. The reporter might deny the public be simply stating facts, instead of drawing on his imagination to create a sensation. Mrs. Fred Roundtree, Thirteenth and Van Buren streets, entertained the sewing circle of St John church Wednesday of last week. The lunch was one of the most delicious ever served in the circle's history and those present certainly enjoyed a treat. The circle is making commendable strides since the first of the year, and is growing in finance and members. This is one of the main auxiliaries of the church and is doing much to push the church forward. The ladies deserve encouragement and hope to see more people take an interest in the work they are doing. Prof. George W.
