JPEKA PLAINDEALER Social History State History Prejudice the Salvation the Negro Race? "This thing you call prejudice is proving the greatest blessing to the Negro. Prejudice per se may be a mean thing, but it is making the black man. "I compare it to popping corn. When I was a boy I used to get my corn and shell it into a skillet. A kernel would get hot and burst open, white and beautiful, and hop into the fire and be lost. When I put a cover on the skillet it kept that kernel in, to help others get hot. When I took the cover off the skillet was filled with beautiful white corn, all bursting forth at once in a mass of glory. "Lift the top-prejudice-off the Negro, and when ore became educated or acquired property, he would hop away from the Negroes, even if he fell among the most degraded whites. Keep the lid on and he has to stay with his own people and help to educate and bring them up to his own level " PRESS AGENT FOR A RACE. This is the philosophy of Charles Stewart, who enjoys the unique distinction of being official press agent for his race. In that capacity he knows intimately practically every Negro leader and has his biography at his finger tips. Stewart makes a living, and a good one, attending Negro religious and educational gatherings. "Papers don't pay any attention to this side of the Negro," he said, indicating the big Negro Baptist convention. "If there is a Negro brawl they play it up, but left alone, they would say nothing of the good things the race is doing. I don't blame the papers. They know what the public want and are giving it to them. The public need to be educated." As press agent Stewart keeps track of everything that goes on in the convention and sees that it gets to the papers. His work here has been easy, for it is the first time in ten years that local papers have sent reporters to cover the convention, but Stewart and what he saw, gets a hearing in all newspaper offices, even in the South. His work, from the Nepro standpoint, is of vital importance to the race. This race press agent is deceptive. Look at him: of medium height with rolls of fat from his chin to his hips, black as a full blooded African, with the typical features, and there is nothing impressive. Let him talk, in his deferent al, retiring way and the big, well-shaped head is realized. He listens a minute and from his place behind the platform he has grasped from the babel of round all of the convention's proceedings. He knows the procedure, the participants and their voices with uncanny accuracy. HE IS HIS OWN PROOF The man is his own proof that hardship will be the Negro's salvation. "Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, he was so smart that his father decreed he needed no more schooling but should go to work. Stewart ran away to get an education. For 40 cents he bought an excursion ticket to Louisville and landed with 10 cents. "Ever work in a hotel?" asked a man who accosted him on the street. "Yes, sir," he answered promptly, although he had never seen the inside of one. When asked where, he named the Livington hotels. He was taken to an Ohio River boat, rigged out in white coat and apron and turned loose in the dining room, where he stood in awe of the luxury. "Why don't you wait on those people?" demanded an officer. Without hesitation he tried to. He got an order and returned with a tray loaded with dishes, but he was awkward and ignorant and his course was followed by a string of dropped dishes. When he tried to set the tray on top of a chair back the ruin was complete. They bore with him until the boat returned to Louisville, then paid him off. $2,23. With that money he matriculated in the state university, bought a clear shirt and had a few cents left. FIRED FOR SEEKING KNOWLEDGE He got a job in town, but was fired because he was trying to get an education, a thing the employer never countenanced when he was a slave master and he refused to change his ways. He found a night's shelter in a gambling room, studying his lessons and snatching a few hours of sleep. He went to school without food. Then, William H. Steward, editor of the American Baptist, Negro, gave him a job, collecting accounts. With that he worked his way through school. For 25 cents a week he furnished colored notes to the Louisville Courier Journal, Steward doing the work. One week Steward was too busy. Stewart wrote his own stuff. It passed without a word and he never again bothered Steward to do the writing. He landed a place on the staff of the Courier Journal. In 1880 he went to the Chicago Inter.Ocean, he has since worked for the New Orleans Plekyune, St. Louis Globe Democrat, Memphis Commercial-Appal, Atlanta Constitution, Nashville Banner, New York Sun and practically all of the big Southern papers. In Chicago he studied stenography and court reporting. Because of his color he was refused admission to the county Stenographers' Association, one of his few professional setbacks. He got plenty of work by cutting the association's prices in two, and was taken into the association, where he was kept busy at schedule rates. Then, he developed into race press agent. Most of his time is spent in the South. In his time he has seen TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 22, 1909. and covered for newspapers 17 lynchings. "It's getting pretty bad," he said, referring to mob violence. "In Mississippi the other day, a white man killed a colored man's cow. When the colored man complained to the magistrate he was lynched. They are getting indiscriminate." "What is the reason?" he was asked. AMERICAN BLOODTHIRSTY; "The American people are bloodthirsty. Any man down there can kill a Negro on any pretext whatever and you never can get a jury to convict him. When a fellow wants to have a little fun, he just gets a nigger and kills him." "What is the end?" "The outcome is in sight. The Negroes are now turning on the white men. There will be no race war. We are not prepared to fight. I can't afford to fight you. You have everything. You are not going to sell me a gun to be used against you. The leaders are advocating prayer and patience and believe that everything will be worked out. "In Springfield, Ills., I found every Negro house fortified. That is the condition in any town north of Mason and Dixon's ilne where there has been a trouble. In the North when a mob starts it goes after every man with a black face. They don't do that in the South. REFUGE IN THE LAW. "Things will go on getting worse until the law will have to turn in and protect life, and the best of both races will be behind it. "When the opposition is strongest the Negro is doing the most work and making the greatest progress," he said, after declaring that the South is the place for the Negro. "No man has been more bitter against the Negro than Governor Vardaman of Mississippi. He refused to appoint any Negro notary, yet no governor ever signed more Negro charters. The Mississippi Negroes have 11 banks, and their fraternal orders pay out annually $500,000 in benefits." Instead of decrying the conditions, Stewart adjusts himself to them. He carries a good grip and a big typewriter in a leather case. "Pretty fine bags you've got them, George; who do they belong to?" asked a man recently, who accosted him on a Southern railroad platform. "Yes, sir, bore, day belongs to Mister Stewart; I works for him;" answered the owner, dropping from the perfect grammar he uses in the North to the Southern Negro dialect. Although he has never been asked to show his credentials when fling telegraph stories to the big papers he represents as a side line, Stewart takes no chances. When in the South and the news is urgent, this is his formula as he leaves the copy in the telegraph office: "Mister Stewart sent this in, boss, an' said he'd appreciate it to get it off right away." "I was shot in Grenada, Miss., in 1890, but it isn't fair to blame all white men for that; neither is it fair to blame all Negroes for what some may do," Stewart said, when asked about his only serious trouble. HIS ONLY REAL TROUBLE. He went into the post office to mail a letter and the clerk greeted him with a vile epithet, which he denied without a show of reentiment. After leaving the office he wrote a complaint to the postmaster general and mailed it in a box. That afternoon the postal erk found stewart in a barber shop and killed him outside, where he announced that there would be a killing as a result of the report to Washington. Continued on Page Eight. COLORED MAN MURDERED ON A SANTA FE TRAIN! A White Man Whose Record is Unknown Shoots Down a Citizen of Topeka. The killing of William Smart on a Santa Fe passenger train Monday night near Tecumsch by John Babb and William Tannehill, an accessorybefore and after the crime, is nothing more than a premediated murder and they should pay the penalty of the law. Babb's own statement is sufficient to convict. He stated that he went into the coach where Smart and a crowd was drinking and on being offered the bottle by Smart that he (Babb) refused. Smart then cursed him and he knocked the colored man down and left the car, returning with a gun and upon sight began shooting, and to justify his cold blooded act claims that Smart was after him. Babb ought to have remained in the coach he weat into after striking Smart, but the evidence shows that instead, he borrowed the gun from Tannehill and returned and fired the shots as above stated. This shows clealy that he was bent on murder. It is true that Smart was a man who drank, caroused and often in fights, and was not as good as we would like to have a citizen, yet and till this is no reason why he should be shot down like a cur. He was born near Topeka and had spent all his life around here. He was a NUMBER 43 working man-one of those unfortunate men who could not control himself,and all will have to admit that this does not justify his being murdered by a man who may be worse than Smart. Who in Topeka knows what kind or manner of life this man Babb has led or what crimes he has committed? Yet five men on the jury was willing that he go free. Smart leaves three little children without a mother to care for them. He was the only one to whom they had to look for their bread and he worked and supported them. After all, this shows that Smart was not such a bad fellow. There is no excuse for a man like Babb carrying a gun, and his excuse to the county attorney for so doing proves that he is of the tramp type, for he said that he had it for the purpose of pawning it to purchase food. We are surprised at the five white jurors who tried to make the killing justifiable when they knew they were wrong. The daily papers were very unfair as was also the police force. They could only see the sins of poor, unfortunate Smart while Babb, whom we believe to be a ruffian and a tramp, was held up as a saint, and no attempt was made to find out otherwise. Had Smart killed Babb all white men of the class who served on the jury would have wanted him lynched. We believe in fair play, not sentiment—too much of that now Iopeka people are too prone to take sides with outsiders against their own citizens without first getting at the facts. Clarence Jackson, the young colored man on the jury deserves much credit for standing up for right. The murder of Smart will redound on those who try to shield Babb.

Eva ULAYRORN &, 716 Cypreas Bt, Ottawa, Kane, bept. 25th, FRIDAY, OCT, 22, 1909. The triumph of Jack Johnson over Stanley Ketchel is not a "color victory" but simply the superiority of one man over another. It shows that a man's capablities cannot be measured by the texture of the skin, but by the opportunities he has to demonstrate his skill, and if given a chance, the blacks will prove themselves in all walks of life as they have in the prize ring. A Negro would have been heavy-weight champion years ago, but was never given an opportunity to contest for the title in this division. When old Peter Jackson declared himself king and stood ready to make good his claim by meeting all comers and goers, the crafty white boxer saw the hand writing on the wall, and received the plaudits of a prejudiced public by drawing the "color line." Thus the conqueror of the "Old World" was forced into retirement until it was discovered that he was old, decrepit and broken down; then challenges from an army of vigorous young white boxers were hurled at him from all sections. Peter Jackson passed out of the world without realizing his fondest hope—a chance to battle for the world's greatest pugulistic honor. However, the colored fighter never grew discouraged and cared for himself so admirably during the passing years that the sport loving public decided that fighters claiming the world's championship must first settle with the blacks or such claims would not be accepted. Johnson appeared on the scene and after a chase around the world and sacrificing the lion's share of the purse, the black gladiator cornered Tommy Burns in Australia and brought back to America what had been taken from her by a foreigner. He has won the crown on merit and should be permitted to wear it and receive as high honors as others who have ruled from this same throne. We admire Johnson, not on account of his being black, but because he is the best man in the whole world. He obtained his position (city and honorable, and as a fighter, the white people have as much claim on him as the black, and if a white man dethones him the black race will land him as highly as they do Johnson and accept him as their champion. It's not a question of color. The best man won, and now that a black man is the pugilistic ruler, creed, color nor previous condition will be no bar for any one who may have asperations to contest for the place. Johnson is a real world's champion—the first outside of Burns. A fighter who refuses to meet men on account of color has no right to lay claim on any such title. They are simply sailing under false colors. Commenting editorially on the battle, the Kansas City Journal says: "The defeat of Stanley Ketschell by the black champion, Jack Johnson, seems to leave the palm of pugilistic honors, the heavyweight championship of the world, safely in the keeping of the African race. The exaggerated idea which the retired white champion, James Jeffries, has expressed of his drawing power as a pugilistic attraction in a demand for a $150,000 purse will in all probability debar him from another content, even if his long absence from the ring has not un fitted him for such a struggle, as it has done all former aspirants who have retired for any considerable length of time. Aside from Jeffries there rooms to be no star on the pugilistic horizon who is admitted by the experts to have even a fighting chance to dethrone the black champion. Thus the prize ring has demonstrated a fact which was considered settled long ago, according to the lessons of anatomy—that is, that a black skull is harder, thicker and capable of standing more poaching than is a white one." Under the above heading, the Chicago inter-Ocean of a recent date, published the following editorial which was made the principle leader for that issue of that paper. We commend it in the strongest possible manner especially at this time because it comes as a ray of sunshine on the darkest day, so lax along this line in recent years have become both the Northern press, pulpit and people: "The secretary of war for the United States government saw fit on Wednesday to boast before a Southern audience that, in his home, he always kept 'conspicuously displayed' the portraits of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, 'and with them the confederate colors.' What Jacob Dickinson does as the head of the house in his own home is a matter of no public importance. But when, as secretary of war, he sets forth publicly his private conduct for general edification, he makes that conduct a proper subject of comment. Therefore we are moved to say that for a high officer of the United States government, a member of the president's cabinet, to display as the emblem of his American faith the flag of the American citizens who sought to subvert that government, to display with the flag the portraits of the American citizens who took a most conspicuous part in the effort to subvert that government, and then to proclaim the conduct from his present seat in that government, is as bad to state as we can well imagine. This is said without fear. It is in full trust of the private virtues of the three sentiments gentlemen whom the secretary of war has selected for his homage. The point is simply this: Those are not the men and theirs is not the flag for a high officer of the United States government to pay his public homage to, and that is what the head of the war department of the United States has done. As long as some things are eternally right in this world, and others are eternally wrong; as long as this North American Union is a government worthy of our love and deserves to be continued on the face of the earth; as long as an oath of allegiance is more than a scrap of paper and our love of country is more than a mere fiction, it is at least unfit, grossly unfit, for a member of the United States government to proclaim even his personal and private fealty to the cause which sought to abolish this nation. All things are not as they seem to all. A man can think he is right and be wrong. Millions can do the same. But the everlasting verities abide just the same. Jacob Dickinson of Chicago (a native of Mississippi where his home is) is free to accept or deny this, as he pleases. But the United States secretary of war is not. He has no alternate. He must accept, and act on it, or be condemned." The Two Kansas Cities Mr. Cousins of Des Moines, Ia, manager of the Canadian Employment Co., was in the city this week. He reports business being better this year than ever before. He will take back with him about forty men furnished by F. J. Weaver, manager of the Afro American Employment and Realty company of this city.

After a shampoo or bath, the Magic dries the hair, removing the dandruff, and it will straighten the curled head of hair, giving it a natural fluffy appearance. Remember that the Magic never burns or injures the hair, because the comb is never heated direct. The steel heating bar alone is put into the flame of the heater, as shown below. DO not mistake this elegant toilet necessity for some of the cheaply made limitations. It is entirely different, as you will see by the pictures. The aluminum comb is easily detached from the steel bar; then after the bar is heated (as shown below) the comb goes back in place, the handle is turned and the Magic is ready for use. The Magic Heater is also suitable for heating the curling iron, has cover and can be carried in hand bag. Agents wanted in every town, but do not wait, send for it today.

BEFORE USING Because it cures the scalp of all diseases and stops their attacks from falling out and starts at once to growing. During my many years of research, endeavoring to find something to improve my own hair, in preparations must be carried out where I was always unsuccessful, until through the Devine Prentice of God I was permitted in a dream to discover the preparation that I am now placing at the diseases of those who are today in the same condition that I was in just three years ago. Fifteen years ago my hair began breaking off and falling out, and I tried everything mentioned to me without any result, until I discovered the preparation that I am now placing on the market. It is supposed to be most wonderful preparation for the growth of the hair ever discovered I am positively guaranteed to grow and stop the hair at once from falling out when used as directed. There are thousands of persons in the U.S. studying our preparations, all of whom are being benefitted in the same way, although nothing but words of praise for my goods coming from all sections of the country. The pictures above show that up to now there are three years' use. These cuts were made from my own personal photographs. Face one with short hair was taken before I ever dreamed of of my discovery.
