THE EKA PLAINDEALER His Lazy, Uncouthed Manner Makes Him a Very Undesirable Citizen-He is Making the Way Hard for Those Who are Struggling for a Foothold. The great need of the hour is for the young colored man to learn to sacrifice his false pride and study well his present condition and what he expects to accomplish in the future. Eighty per cent. of our young men have no conception of responsibility nor do they care. They will not sacrifice a little time to learn a trade or get a common school education. They work just enough to get a suit of clothes to meet the style and fashion of the season and subsist on one-third ration and are satisfied to sleep in any kind of bed or room. They are loud and boisterous in public places and make themselves conspicuous with their foul breath by talking about things of which they know nothing. They do not save a dollar, are disrespectful to their parents and at the same time live on them. They care naught for home and the roof could tumble in without worrying them the least bit. This young Negro reminds us of an Indian Buck. He makes his women work and support him while he looks for whiskey. The cause of all this cussed laziness and non-progressiveness of the young colored man is due to the indulgence of parents who extend him too much sympathy. SPRINGFIELD, MO., NOTES. The entertainment rendered under the direction of Meadames A. Stevens and Mamie Fullbright was a financial success for the Gibson chapel church. The Household of Ruth and the Odd Fellows gave a grand reception last Tuesday, at the Masonio Hall on Booneville street. Those present thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Mrs Morris Bruce Davis, of Covington, Ky., will arrive on the 25th, to spend about two weeks visiting kinsfolk and friends and attending commencement exercises. On last Thursday evening the W M and L club conducted their program at Gibson chapel, a fair number being in attendance. The six or seven musical selections given by the orchestra under the direction of Prof Listen, were most delightfully rendered. Mrs Blakey Gatewood delightfully entertained the W M and L club last Wednesday evening at her country home, which is nicely situated. A pleasant and profitable time was spent and all were loathe to depart. The Masons gave to the public a most enjoyable and first class program, the entertainment netting a nice sum.

OMAHA re-elected Mayor Dahlman and by a much larger majority than the first time. He is is a Democrat and a splendid one at that. He carries no prejudice and the colored people like him for his honesty and square dealing. THE PLAINDEALER heartily congratulates Mayor Dahlman and wishes him continued success. He is a thorough business man, a gentleman and a friend to all. Labor is truly honored through Mayor Dahlman. WHEN the school term has ended, it is the duty of every student to find something to do do and stick to it till the vacation is over. There can be no better reputation for a student than that of a good, honest worker, and he will always find willing hands to aid him in any undertaking. In a great many instances parents encourage the loafing habit by paying no attention as to how their children utilize the time during vacation. It is the duty of every parent to see to it that their children find employment as soon as the school door closes, and thus reduce the large and increasing crop of loafers. Miss Hottie Burdette was called home to the bedside of her mother, Mrs C. H. Burdette. Mr. and Mrs. Henry expect to move in their new residence on South Genesee soon.

Every one invited. Little Bessie Hollyheld while playing Sunday ran into a barb wire fence, scratching her head severely. Miss Emma Overstreet has been absent from school on account of sickness. The Sunday School has improved very much this month. Preparations are being made for a Children's Day program H. C. Overstreet, Reporter ARE YOU GUILTY. A paper read by Mrs. M. D. Jones, before the Literary Society at the Second Baptist Church of Junction City, Kans. First let me have a word with the parents who say they are trying to raise their children, but allowing them to grow up without any training. They simply feed them as a farmer would buy pigs. The children of today are so very different from those of any day. When company came in when I was a child I went out to play. But how is it now? If they happen to be out at play and they are company come in, they stop playing and come in and take their seats. They must hear what is said, and sometimes will cut their mother out if she goes to tell something and tell it themselves. Then the poor unwitted mother will call it a smart child and will say "I don't think I will raise this child. It is so bright." And the visitor can't talk for the child putting in. In my day when a neighbor told parents of their children's misbehavior, they were whipped, or perhaps the neighbors whipped them. If the children told their mother they were probably whipped again. But not so today. If any one tells the parent of a child's misbehavior now days they ask the child and if the child says no that settles it and they will say "Mrs. A. is just mad at you because you dress better than her children." It does not matter how responsible the person may be who reports the child. And if a neighbor were to whip a child nowadays they would sure have a fine to pay in the court, for most people say "My child won't lie." And what child ever lived that did not lie? Mothers, as you listen to these words look over your record. Are you guilty? Girls at the age of 18 and 20 used to start out in company. Not so today. For at ten and twelve they put their dolls away and go out hunting a fellow. They think the world will how to them, but before they get one mile in life, they find their pathway full of thorns. Your little things, they want to marry, but they haven't got money enough to get a husband. They start wrong. They switch up and down the street taking evening walks out boy hunting. Now the boy knows you are after him and you, in his estimation, become common. Girls, you must make a man look up to find a wife and not down. So many of our girls go to church and sit way back where first class girls ought not to be found. As when an church is out they get with some boy who can't avoid going with them, because they almost ask him. Then they slowly go home and when they get home they get a severe case of gate consumption and stay out at the gate another hour. When the boy starts she will take his hat. Now girls, that boy goes away thinking you are not very much or you would have acted differently. If he goes with another girl you quarrel with him. You think you are on the right road to marry, but are only one mile on the road to restruction. Don't allow a boy to hail you across the street. It looks cheap, and no man wants a cheap wife. I will ask your girls: Are you guilty? Our Boys. No boy feels any longer a boy after he is fourteen. He thinks himself a man and his mother can't get 50 cents of his wages. He puts on a high collar patent leather shoes, has a cigarette in his mouth and away he goes to some girl's house. He don't know how to hold a conversation so he will begin to inquire "what such and such a fellow was doing here?" Many boys are going with the girls with no other object than to tool them. They would not have the girl if she would buy the license and pay the preacher as some girls do. They are in some good man's way. Are you guilty, young man* Our Married Women. Will you listen while I middle a little with the married women's business? So many married women disguise their marriage vows I can't see why they married except as a cloak. Their husbands are out at work making their living and they are out airing themselves trying to make a mash. If they succeed they invite the gentleman home with them, cook a big dinner and spend the afternoon playing cards and drinking and disgracing womanhood in general. When their husbands come home they are looking as innocent as Lamby and never say a word about the man who has been there. Some mothers live no disgrace fully before their daughters until they would no more say a word to them about their wrong doing than a rat would walk into a church congregation. Some mothers are partners with their daughters. Mothers, you are the cause of your girl's downfall. You dress them as young ladies at twelve years old and let them go to dances, and if their father says anything, you sail into him and say the girl has got to have some pleasure. But when she gets through having pleasure nobody wants her but you. Mothers, are you guilty? The Widows. I have nothing to say against you, that in if death deprived you of your husband, or if you could not get along peaceably with him. Be honest and live pure lives in the sight of God and man. But few will do that in many cases they won't content themselves until they step between some good woman and her husband, taking bread from the children and wrecking the home of some loving family. Many a girl has gone astray under the influence of some old widow. Home will say I lived true to my husband when I had one. That may be true, but what are you doing now? We are calling attention to your present life. Are you guilty. Married Men. I could not close without a word to you. You stood at the sacred alter and promised God and the preacher to for sake all others for the one you married. You ought to keep your vows. You first start out by going to the lodge. You go and stay away all night. You had to confer the 50th degree on a mawon. Well, you will tell that old story until your wife finds out better. By that time you have been married about three months and the honeymoon is out with you. Then she had better not question your going. You come home mad, kick the chair over and start a tussle. You are not mad but are getting in your bluff. And your poor wife, you know she ought to be had but you play mad first. You are at the head of your family and you ought to be able to steer the ship of life right. Be a living example for your boys. There was a man once who drank up all his earnings and his poor wife had to support the family. She was a good Christian woman and while she was at church one Sunday the old man came in drunk as usual, his little five year old boy was tossing his little self over the floor like his father did when he was drunk. The child said, "I am not dunk, I am playing dunk, but when I det a man I doing to be dunk like papa." He said the old man came to himself and never drank any more. He said he would disappoint that boy. Married men, are you guilty? D. H. HARRIS Formerly of Memphis, Tenn., Carpenter, Contractor and Builder. When Harris does the work an architect is unnecessary.

SHANKLE. Att at: R. L. THOMAS Cla s of the District Court, Shaw nee county, Kaua. First published March 26,1909. Special to The Platdealer from Kansas City. Puruant 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., L. A., A., & A., met on Sunday last at Pythian Hall, 1734 Grand avenue. The mood tended toward the sorrowful and regretful, 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 atrocious 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 anxious had those responsibilities become, that the doctor's health had become a matter of moment, besides the call of the sick was as 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 untiring service which he had rendered 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 hitch 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 In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. You are hereby no ified that the above named plaintiff has filed an action against you in said court, asking for divorce, for the custody of your minor children, and for her costs. And you are further notified and warned that unless you appear and answer to the petition filed herein by said plaintiff on or before the Fourth [4th] day of June, 1909, that the allegations of the plaintiff's petition will be taken for true and judgment will be rendered accordingly.

Of noble bearing, physique bordering on the magnificent, of diversified talent, an orator of acknowledged ability, an untiring worker for any cause which he may espouse—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 fed, 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 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 man-made and gigantic industries. For long and beautiful hair use Mme. C. J. Walker's wonderful hair grower. It cures the scalp of all diseases and starts the hair at once to growing, stops it from falling out. This wonderful preparation was discovered by Mme. C. J. Walker in a dream and is positively guaranteed to grow hair, or money refunded. She will send to any address in the city, or the U. S., a six weeks treatment by mail, charges prepaid, for $1.10. After becoming convinced of its merits, you can purchase the grower for $3.00 per dozen, $2.00 per half dozen.

The activity is so strongly manifested as to at- tract the atteution of the oc- casional visitor to thts great city —those who have kaown it as a mecea for pool rooms, dance balis and clubs. Things ate different now, the Negro is launching out into all lines and today almost cvery commercial industry is substantially repre- sented by them, and the few clubs and billiard halls are con- ducted on strict lines of decency and are no luager a menace to the good morals of the younger set who some day must take the place of those who are now blazing the way and advance the good work to a still higher place inthe ranks of commerce and industry. Inthe p.st year the Ne- groes of Kansas City have raised their commercial standing toa point where they are being recognived us one of the most progressive business people to be found ic any city in the country. Indeed the Negro in Kansas City has made commen- dable strides and their magnifi- cent business institutions will stand forever as a proud and living monument to Negro enter- prise. The business and protestivnal ‘Negroes of Kansas City are not alone in thesr upward march, but are seconicd by the great mass of laboring colored men and women—the backbone and sinew of all Negro enterprises. A real estate fever is raging among them which 1s rapidly diminishing the army of black renters. They are heeding the advice of Booker T. Washington, Prof. Vernon and other noted leaders and building good, substantial homes, where] they can dwell ‘under their}, own vine and fig tree unmolested | by the knock of the white rent|' collectur. We asked Fortune]: J. Weaver, king of black real estate dealers, the cause of this : grand rush to secure homes, and he said: ‘Conditions in regard 0 renting houses is forcing them |, fo it. They are forced into all andesirable locations, and they}; are determined to cease making white men rich by paying big: rent for places in alleys and back | ! strests.'’ We asked how they sould afford to buy, and he said:|! Very easily, There is scarcely |‘ a day passes that I don't place } rom two to three Negroes in 4 possession of good homes. It is : meanmniiehad he tham naauiane @ us.
