' OPEKA . PLAINDEALER Hon. W. C. Houston, Lawyer, Diplomat and Statesman is the First of His Race in the West to Seek Such an Exalted Place---Kansas and the West is Urging His Appointment. We are much graified to announce to the entry of a powerful Richmond in the field of progress, race advancement and leadership The Hon. W. C. Houston, of the law firm of Houston & Calloway, 123 West Sixth Street, Kansas City, Mo., has shied his castor into the arena for the position of special United States District Attorney on Naturalization. Similar positions are held by colored lawyers in the East: Lang Williams, of Chicago; W. H. Lewis, Borton and one at Woshington, D. C. The many friends of Mr. Houston are pushing his claim, and the Missouri delegation in congress will shortly present his name to President Taft for the place. He deserves the position from every point of the compass, and we believe the President will do no less than his predecessor in appointing Attorney Houston. He is on honor to the colored race, and a young man that merits all that can be given him by the Republican party. He is honest, upright and a thorough lawyer and business man. Since engaging in the practice of law he has solved many knotty legal problems for his numerous clients. He is honest and square with it which has caused the people of both races in Missouri to feel us services Young H. is a native of Lexington, Ky. September, 1870. He attended the public schools of that city and graduated from the Chambers Normal with the class of '97. He sainted. He was news boy, the special secretary messenger at the post five, min, a soffice seek, and a few years later received Carriage University. He assisted in opening up and plating the R F D. the I'nu Grass. tte. He resigned this post and came to Kansas where he entered the State University and graduated from the department of law in 1904—completing the course in a little over two years. On several occasions he was a leading debaters in rhetorical contests. Mr. Houston was admitted to the bar at Saint Joseph, Mo., in 1905. He is well versed in law and his practice is both civil and criminal—about equally divided. The late ex-President Harrison asked a delegation of colored men, "Have you a man versed in the law well enough for such service?" and they had but one. Let the question be asked now and we have several, and young Houston is one of them. He is one of the foremost Republican workers in Missouri, and there has never been a time when he failed to respond to the party's call as they know full well that he not only has the ability, but can deliver the goods. Mr. Houston was chairman of the auxiliary committee that elected Beardsley mayor of Kansas City and also a member of the county central committee of Jackson county. He was advisor to State Chairman Dickey in 1908 and campaigned through Missouri making some of the speeches that counted. He was was one of the original Talt VOLUME XI. M. R. S. HON W. C. HOUSTON. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 24, 1909. men of the west, and assistant secretary of the convention that named the Taft delegates to Chicago, and was made an alternate but refused in order to place a friend. Mr. Houston takes a deep interest in business owning an undertaking establishment at 1735 Lydia, is secretary of the Ivanhoe Realty company and his check will be honored for a large sum by any bank in Kansas City. His friends congratulate him for seeking something that no other Negro has ever held and Kansas and the west will join in urging his appointment. He was secretary of the committee that entertained the committee that entertained the Pythian Supreme Lodge a few weeks ago and successfully handled and accounted for over ten thousand dollars. Confeience at Leaenworth The Kansas Annual Conference of the A.M. church will convene at Leucoworth Wed- 1930 ne day, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Abram Grant, D. D., presiding. Without exception, he is one of the foremost men of the country. A Pleasant Time in Colorado Springs! Miss A.

There was a drama given by the Philippamathian Dramatic Club last Friday evening, Sept. 10th, for the benefit of that church. We must say that it was the greatest undertaking ever ventured upon by our home talent. The play was deep, and beyond the average; those who participated proved themselves masters of the parts that were signed to them. And we must take off our hats to Mrs. Etta M. Jackson, the instructor of the club. There is only one criticism to make and that is that they could not bring out the full acting qualities on account of not having a stage large enough for the play. Should the club repeat this play at the Hall we venture to say there will not be standing room. The Apollo Grand Orchestra, of which Prof. A. R. Jackson is director, furnished music for the occasion. The musical program rendered was done worth the price of admission. The following is the cast of the dramatic persona of Milhe the dundrum, in out of bondage.

BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD'S REPORT. The Thirteenth Annual Report of the Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board at Columbus, Ohoi ,Sept. 16th. --- Dr. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Submits the Greatest Report Ever Made by Any Board Working Under the Auspices of the Negro Baptists of the World. More Machinery, More Business and a Greater Outlook for Future Growth Was Apparent Throughout the Voluminous Document. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 10. Emerging from obscurity, coming on the horizon like a sky rocket forced heavenward by the power of the explosives used, and casting forth a beautiful light as has often been seen on a dark night, I the characteristic way in which the Secretary, the senior and Manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which concern is located in the city of Nashville state of Tennessee came before the Negro Baptists of this country. Dr. Boyd made his report to this body in its twenty ninth annual session here this week. The report was held in the presence of an immense audience which completely filled the Columns. An literature it is for the stated report ever offered to the Convention, notwithstanding the splendid reception given to the reports each year. I continue with all first, which was made a Boston, Mass. 1897, when the Convention went will with enthusiasm into the Society had labored for twelve months and two gift in a report showing that a Negro Baptist Publishing Company existed and that they had given for the first time, Negro Baptist literature of their own production, both brain and brawn. To-day was at most a competition of those scenes. The reports vary only in point of magnitude. The first was concise and explicit, this one is full and filled from beginning to end with facts that stand out in bold relief of the splendid work being accomplished in Nashville, Tenn., under the management of a Board of which Dr. Boyd has the honor of being the counsel. There are many important facts in this booklet of forty-old pages compiled and printed for the information of the family of Baptists numbering, according to their statistician's report, about two and a half million. It shows that the Negro Baptists not only lead in number and quality of publications, but that they are pioneers in printing, look binding, manufacturing and authorship of new religious literature. The report shows that they lead in the machinery line. The Baptists are not the first, --- however, to own a plant, as they come into the arena of publishing houses last, but under wise and judicious management. As shown by each year's report, they have gradually forged to the front, until to-day it is admitted that they are superior in every respect. Such machinery as is described and reported before the body to-day cannot be found in another plant in the known world owned and operated by Negroes. During the past twelve months, reports Dr. Boyd, tow machines, viz., the latest improved folder with an all-size Scott's Rotary Book Press, were among the additions made, which alone bring last year's improvements in the way of machinery up to more than $25,000,000, while a corresponding amount was added to real estate and buildings. It would be impossible to detail the report in full. A glance at the figures will show what has been accomplished and what is being accomplished by a denomination whose representatives are here in the capital city of Ohio to hear reports and election of officers, to continue the wise management of the business and executive departments of their denominational work. The secretary reports an astonishing increase in the publication of periodicals and Sunday local helps. His circulations, according to this report, have reached the tremendous figure of twelve million copies annually, which according to the secretary's statement, does not include more than a dozen various song books. The receipts for the past fiscal year climbed up in the neighborhood of $165,000,000, all of which will be received by the great family of Missionary Baptists as an evidence of their future success with the concern that seems to be a monument already. The secretary touched on many other points. He showed the establishment of the teacher-training Service and the selection of a superintendent to give his entire time to the work, another feature that will give the Publishing House in Nashville, together with its Board, a greater name and place it in a larger sphere of usefulness. The report pays a dattering compliment to the work accomplished by the Sunday-school Congress, which is also the result of Dr. Boyd's fore-ight and business tact, with his ever determining will to do something for his people and the denomination. He reports that four years have convinced the leaders of the denomination that the Sunday-school Congress is a necessity and that it is already filling a long felt want. In closing his report he paid a high tribute to the union and harmony prevailing throughout his Board in its management, and the good accomplished by the working together of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards, as he is the Secretary of both.
