TOPEKA PLAINDEALER National Social State House VOLUME XI. Mr. Taft Will Plea A MODERN CAR SYSTEM Kansas City Has One of the Best Street Railways in the World. The growth and development of the Metropolitan Street Car system from the Mule car to the Cable, and from the cable to the present magnificent system of electric cars with all modern improvements and equipment, is indeed marvelous. Kansas City today enjoys a street car system which is not surpassed by any in the world. Millions of dollars have been spent to bring the vast system up to its present proportions, and it is now giving employment to thousands of men. Kansas City is a great and still growing city and the company is compelled to expend thousands of dollars in order to give adequate service to the people. There should be no attempt made at this time to cripple the splendid service by reducing its revenue, or by a failure to give it a suitable franchise, which will operate as an inducement to continue its building and extending its service. The Metropolitan Street Railway company is entitled to a square deal and fair play. As a common carrier it is desirous of complying with every reasonable demand of the public whenever the same can be done without inconvenience to its patrons or detriment to the company. A Street Railway company is subject to regulation by the common council of the city, and yet the policy of regulation by the common council should be no more severe than if it were an individual. In other words, the rights of a Street Railway corporation should be respected as well as the rights of the public. The officers of this company are all splendid gentlemen of great business experience, and will see to it that every obligation in which the public is interested will be expeditionally and faitafully carried out. WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE SAY? Special to The Plaindealer from Kansas City. Soon, the President of the United States will be called upon to name some citizen for the position of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and as it has been the custom of all Presidents, from U. Grant to President Taft, to name some colored citizen for this position, why not name a Missourian; yes, more, why not give this appointment to a man whose appointment would reflect credit on the state and the race with whom he is iden tified? We see in Col. Geo. T. Wassom, that man. He is a lawyer of fine ability, a good citizen, of high character, whose moral worth has never been questioned or attacked and cannot be successfully--his life is an open book. He is an orator of fine ability, an advocate at the bar, whose earnest arguments and pleading never fail to convince, coupled with repartee and satire to an extent which but TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1969. few men of his profession possess and enjoy. We are for a colored man for the position and one who is known to be a high classed, manly, sober citizen, who has no scandal at his heels and whose life the people can rejoice in when in a high position. We challenge the scandal hunter in nailing up the name of Col. Geo. T. Wassom for the position of Recorder of Deeds. His appointment to that position would at once elevate the colored citizens of the great state of Missouri in the estimation of all good citizens regardless of the political creed. He at once leaps into the high estimation of the best citizen for that high office and the indorsements that he is receiving is something wonderful to behold. THIS NEGRO FOUGHT BACK. He is O. K. A few more like him and the night riders will be at an end. Spellman, Ga, April 11,'09.—Attacked by four masked night riders who had invaded his home, Alfred Iverson, a Negro, killed one of his assailants and wounded another before he was shot to death yesterday. Iverson had trouble with a white man about business and had been warned to leave the country. He refused to go and yesterday four masked men broke into his home. After the fight the wife of the Negro was mercilessly whipped. The Kelley Best High Patent Flour is manufactured by the Kelley Milling Co, which is one of the greatest manufacturing concerns in the Middle West; and is a credit to Kansas City. Their product stands second to none in the markets of the world, and their celebrated Kelley's High Patent is known and sold throughout the foreign countries. It is in greater demand to-day than ever and is now being used in almost every household in Missouri and all of the Western states. The Kelley Milling Co. is one of the largest concerns of its kind in Kansas City and has a capacity of two thousand barrels per day. It is equipped with the largest mill elevators in Kansas City, which have a capacity of 400,000 bushels of grain. Mr. John Kelley is proprietor of this mill and great credit is due him for the care and manner in which he has conducted this mill and for its manifesting growth and success. He is a great friend to labor and he has a large force of men, including colored men, employed in his mill, whom he pays good salary. The millers think that there is no man who has done more for the upbuilding of Kansas City than Mr. Kelley. The product is sold on its merit. Once a customer always a customer. Give your order today for the "Kelley' Best" Celebrated High Patent Flour and use no other. It is sold by all grocers. It makes white bread and is used by all first class cooks of this country to-day. Mr. Arthur B. Kelley, the Vice President of the Kelley Milling Co., is a popular young man who is well liked by all who know him. The Reforms of Mayor Thomas T. Crittenden, Jr., Has Made Kansas City a Model-Every Campaign Promise Made Good. Special to The Plaindealer from Kansas City. We do not exaggerate when we say that one of the greatest Mayors Kansas City has ever had, is Hon. Thomas D. Crittenden, Jr. His administration may be characterized as an ideal one from a business standpoint.

So popular have the policies and measures of Mayor Crittenden become, that Eastern cities have sent their officials here to study the methods of Mayor Crittenden. He is now the recipient of an invitation to go to Denver to address the citizens upon the reforms instituted by him in the management of municipal affairs. Mayor Crittenden is a young man with a laudable ambition to serve 10 well the people of Kansas City. He is endowed by nature with great executive ability, a splendid mentality and extraordinary intellectual attainments. Mayor Crittenden has radical policies with reference to the relationship of the races. He is sincere in his position and believes his policies if adopted will in the end bring peace between the races and an inevitable advancement of the Negro people along rational lines. vid Tipton and son, Clarence, have monopolized the house moving business in this section of the country, and employ a number of men Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Weeks, who were at Stinson Lake New Hampshire, last summer, were offered the management again, but owing to his illness they will not accept.

Many of the students visited the Kansas City churches, and attended the sermon preached by Bishop Grant at Allen chapel in the morning. The Easter work done this year by out-post student-teachers, under Prof Robert Jackson, is something very flattering and inspiring in university extension work. Miss V. Kinney, who teaches a beginner's class and the church choir at Independence, Mo., on Saturdays and Sundays, had a most excellent program which brought out a church full of people to be educated and uplifted. Miss Eva B Jones, who teaches a beginner's class, and the church choir at Tonganoxie, Kane., on Saturdays and Sundays, had a most excellent Easter program, that brought out home talent hitherto undiscovered, and a church full of people to be broadened and uplifted. The programs are printed by the student printers of our Industrial department. This good work done in these nearby towns is almost beyond estimation, because new life has been injected into their church and social circles. More student teachers are being trained to supply the demand in the nearby towns for this Saturday and Sunday outpost work of our Music department by the local pastors who are so quick to see its strengthening power to their pastorates. Arbor Day was fittingly celebrated at our institution. Excellent speeches were made by Profa Gregg and Vaughn and in the afternoon the classes vied with each other in setting out several dozen trees in the campus. Bishop Grant, lately returned from Florida, was present and instructed, amused and uplifted the occasion. At Arbor Day exercises a March composed by Maurice B Thomas, a young Negro music-writer attending Armstrong Manual Training school at Washington, D. C, was rendered and received a hearty encore. The composer shows unusual talent. "Not a Man in the House,"a very amusing drama, was present d in our auditorium by a class in elocution in charge of Mrs Motin, whose daughter Edythe was also present and rendured a very skillful number. Both ponnern a fine talent, above the ordinary. Prof Robert G Jackson gave a pipe organ recital in St Joseph last Monday evening at a W church to a packed house. Miss Kinney's "Mother's Sacrifice" was rendered with exquisite finish, thoroughly inspiring the audience and winning tremendous applause.

Whether we regard the Sabbath as divinely appointed, or as growing out of the instructs and necessities of man's moral and spiritual nature, the experience of man has demonstrated that it sustains a vital relation to our highest welfare. Hence, no work dealing with the varied phases of domestic life would be complete without a chapter on "Sundays at Home." With the exception of the few hours supposed by all civilized people to be spent in public worship, the day is not in any sense a public day, but, on the contrary, it is the most private of all days. It is a day where the loud tumult of public affairs is hushed, and each individual becomes a world in himself. It is a day of personal meditation. A purely public day, like the Fourth of July in the United States, bears little relation to the home life. It is from the fact that Sunday is the mots private of all days, that we here make it a subject of special consideration; what purpose in economy of home shall be subserved by this important period called the Sabbath. It constitutes one-seventh of our entire existence, and of no other seventh do we spend so large a part at home. For the small part that is devoted to public worship by no means equals that consumed on other days by labor and those duties which partially or wholly isolate us from the influences of home. How, then, shall we employ the Sunday at home? How shall we secure for it a place among the higher ministries of home life? This, of course, will depend somewhat upon the views we held concerning the nature and object of the Sabbath. It is not our purpose to discuss the subject in its theological aspect, but simply to compel it, if possible, to yield a contribution to the lessons of home life. And yet it is impossible to do even this without taking some definite ground as to the religious significance of the day. It is useless to contend that the Sabbath has no religious significance. It would be, in the nature of things, to abolish it altogether. If it be claimed that the Sabbath was born of human instincts, and to prove that it was thus born would be to claim for it a divine sanction. We believe that the religious nature of man and the institution of the Sabbath are complementary, the one to the other. But whatever origin may be claimed for the Sabbath, and whatever purpose it was primarily intended to serve in the economy of civilization, we have no reason to believe that it was intended for a period of "suspended animation," or of physical and mental stagnation. Jesus rebuked the too close Pharisaical observance of the Sabbath, and taught, both by precept and by example, that man was not made in order that he might observe the Sabbath, but on the contrary, that the Sabbath was made in order that man might have the privilege of observing it. Man was made first, and the Sabbath was adapted to him, although we believe that the natural law on which the Sabbath is based coeval with the history of creation. If, then, the Sabbath originated in the religious instincts of man, it is inconsistent and foolish to contend that it should not be observed as a day of special religious exercise. But the question still arises, what constitutes special religious exercises! And by what method is the desired result best attained? The now generally recognized law that disagreeable on painful action always weakens instead of strengthening the faculty involved, is directly opposed to the Puritan observance of the Sabbath; for how can a child be submitted to move intense mental torture, than to be compelled to spend a whole day where he is not allowed to smile, where all conversation is suppressed, except that which is absolutely necessary, and where even that is conducted with semi-whispers in the unmistakable tone of reverence and awe. The Sabbath in too many homes is a day to be dreaded by the children. The observance of it required is so strict as to be painful, and hence weakens instead of strengthening, their moral and religious nature. The effect of such forced action is almost always far worse than no action at all. This law obtains with reference to every power of our being, but its action is most obvious with reference to the moral and spiritual faculties. These must act from choice, or they cannot be strengthened. Hence the question becomes a most delicate one. "How Shall the Sunday Be Spent at Home?" Perhaps no further advice to the intelligent parent is required than that he should be guided in all cases by this great law, that every action, in order that it may strengthen the part acting, must be accompanied with pleasure, instead of pain. In the first place, let the Sunday at home be divested of all needless solemnity; let it be a day of cheerfulness and social enjoyment; a day of music, both instrumental and vocal; a day of conversation and reading. Let the children be taught to think and to meditate on the great problems of life and the vast concerns of eternity, not in a solemn-we-inspiring way, but in a manner consonant with good judgment and common sense. Let them be encouraged to engage in respectful discussion among themselves on these questions. Thus will they early develop a tendency to think and hold opinions of their own, while yet the parents' superior wisdom may detect and point out fallacies in their reasoning. There is little danger of sophistry and false conclusions in these arguments if the parent is watchful, and seeks constantly to set the young thinkers right, "thus saith the Scripture," but by convincing their reason with superior logic. When one begins to doubt any doctrine, whether intellectual or religious, he naturally receives a dislike for any authority which disputes his ground, unless the authority is enforced by reasons which his own intellect is compelled to acknowledge as conclusive. Superior logic is the only authority which a questioning mind naturally receives with good grace. Hence if you do not wish your child to hate the Bible, do not attempt to silence all his questions by the mere quotation of Scriptural texts, but first, calmly and kindly, lay bare the fallacy in his arguments, and then show him, if you choose, how your own argument accords with Scripture.

FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1909. Uncle Sam should feel proud of three Kansans who are rendering good, honest service. they are patient workers and we have yet to hear any one say they are direlect in performing their duty. Hon. Harry J. Bone, United States district attorney is one of the best Uncle Sam ever employed in Kansas. He is a man fully versed in the law and is fearless and untiring in the performance of his duty. He has been called upon to try big trust and land cases in other states as his knowledge of the law and ability is far superior to many who are holding like positions in other states. The Denver case is yet fresh in the minds of all and everybody remembers Mr. Bone's signal success in conducting it, and demand that the Kansas delegation in congress be unanimous in urging his reappointment. He has no enemies, everybody is for him. Mr. Bone has an able assistant in the person of Judge J. S. West, a lawyer, gentleman and scholar who will be elevated to the supreme bench before many years roll around. No better men can be found the places they are so ably firing, and we think it best to let well enough alone. United States Marshal Mackey, a pioneer Kausan has made Uncle Sam feel proud of him as well as the people of the state. A more honest or fearless officer ever filled this position than Mr. Mackey. He has a host of warm friends and admirers, and the Kansas delegation in congress should not hesitate in recommending him to President Taft for reappointment. "Uncle" Jim Simpson, internal revenue collector, is ever faithful in seeing that Uncle Sam's coffers are kept filled as far os Kansas is concerned. He is a man of influence and ability and a good loyal citizen. He is a persistent Republican and always has his shoulder to the wheel. "Uncle" Jim is the proper stuff and our congressional delegation should stand bo him. HUTCHINSON, KAN. C O Smith has opened a real estate office at the corner of Fourth and Main. Anybody in the U. S. desiring to buy property in Hutchinson should correspond with Mr. Smith. Dr F O Miller stayed over in St. Louis last week and brought backat very handsome looking lady, who will be a helpmate for the doctor. Everybody wishes the happy couple a success in life. The colored architect of Hutchinson is drawing the plans for an $1,800 parsonage for the c. m. e. church, a building that is very much needed. Dr Byron, the pastor, is a fine man of whom everyone speaks well. There was a hard-fought batt'e at the city election. F L Martin was elected mayor over J P Harsha by 602.

Pursuant to the call, the general committee having in charge the arrangements for entertaining the Supreme Lodge and encampment of the Knights of Pythias of N. A., S. A., E., A., A., & A., met on Sunday last at Pythian Hall, 1734 Grand avenue. The mood tended toward the sorrowful and grateful, from the fact that the call issued by the Secretary set forth that the purpose of the meeting was to act upon the resignation of Dr. J. E. Perry, Chairman, which had some days before been placed in the hands of Secretary Hueston, with requests to forward the same to A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor, of St. Louis, the same to take effect April 4, and a successor to be elected in his stead. It had been apparent to those closely associated with him in the work that the doctor's extensive and growing practice and the audacious strain incident to carrying on the work of the general committee, had long ago raised the question in their minds of how long he would be able to hold out. Indeed, so audacious had these responsibilities become, that the doctor's health had become a matter of moment, besides the call of the sick was incessant and urgent as the call of the fraternity, and finally Brother Perry, realizing this, decided, with regret, to surrender the chairmanship and take care of his practice. The resignation was accepted with the regrets of the entire Pythian host, and a committee was accordingly appointed to draw up suitable resolutions, thanking the retiring chairman for the splendid and uniring service which he had tendered the cause for the past nine months. Hon. Nelson C. Crews was then placed in nomination to complete the work so ably begun by his predecessor, and under a suspension of the rules, he was unanimously elected, with assurances of the hearty good will and loyal support of all present. Mr. Crews was then escorted to the chair, and in a brief and timely speech, pledging to put forth the best efforts within him accepted the responsibility thus transferred and placed upon his shoulders, and without a bitch or a break, the work went on. It may be said in passing that the Knights of Pythias of Kansas City are fortunate indeed to be able to command the services of such a splendid man. Mr. Crews is endowed by nature to be a leader in any great cause. Of noble bearing, physique bondering on the magnificent, of diversified talent, an orator of acknowledged ability, an nurturing worker for any cause which he may response—with such a man in the lead, we feel safe in going before the Pythians of the United States with the assurance that the Supreme Session in August will be an unqualified success. The plan of entertainment will be as elaborate as ingenuity, work and money will make it. It is the well defined purpose of Kansas City to allow none to go away dissatisfied; every one will be comfortably housed, well feel, and with a great river running to the north of us, the assurance also goes with what has been said that all those who are inclined to be thirsty will be abundantly able to quench the same. Kansas City's great and famous coliseum, Convention Hall, has been secured for two nights; the line of entertainment there will be directly under the management of the military Advantages Splendid Location, Hosthful Climate, Good Influences and Thorough Teachers. For Terms, Prices and Inducements Offered, write to department, and Major General R. R. Jackson is our authority for saying that the greatest program ever given for anybody anywhere will be witnessed by the visitors and friends those two nights. The first night will consist of competitive drills, closing with the grand military ball. The second night will be musical, and contests with the great aggregation of musicians attending the Supreme encampment are to be arranged under the direction of the Major General himself. Electric Park, the White City, one of the greatest and most beautiful places of amusement in this Western country, with the most up-to-date attractions, has been secured for a day's outing. These features, together with one of the most picturesque grounds for the encampment of the military department, will make the arrangements as complete as such is possible to be done. It is also planned by the local committee to conduct car parties and automobile parties about the city, in order to give visitors and friends at least a partial notion of the vast business interests and our splendid parkways and boulevards. There will be suburban parties into the country and river trips by boat excursions at night. The packing industry of this city will be of especial interest to our guests, and the committee will secure tickets of admission to all of those who wish to inspect these mammoth and gigantic industries. PAOLA. KANSAS.
