T EKA PLAINDEALER The Defeat of the Metropolitan Franchise Means Five Cents Fare and no Transfers! THE STAR'S FIGHT IS PERSONAL! Historical Soulsy State House VOLUME XI. Nelson is Against the Metropolitan Because the Great Armours, Builders of Kansas City are Interested. Largest Packers in the World and Staunch Friends of Labor. The Kansas City Star of Nov.26 under the capsion, "By the Company They Keep," attempts to cast a slur upon THE PLAINDEALER and the colored people for supporting the Metropolitan franchise by insinuating that they are purchasable and none would support the measure except those of that class. The best element of the race in Kansas City resented this insult by denouncing the Star through the columns of the Kansas City Journal. We have investigated enough to find out that the Star's fight on the Metropoliton is a personal one and not for the best interest of the working people of Kansas City. What the poor receives is little enough and that they need daily. They cannot wait forty years to see how theories will work out, they need it now; while on the other hand the Star man goes to Europe almost every year and can afford to wait forty years and let the poor working people suffer by paying five cents fare when the Metropolitan offers to make it four provided the extension is granted and will be effective immediately after the election on December 16th. We want the Star to understand that this paper cannot be influenced by money even if the Star occasionally side-steps which looks suspicious to the public and causes them to think that Mr. Nelson is not running the Star for his health. As we stated before, the fight of the Star is personal and directed against the Armours because they are large stockholders in the Metropolitan, and granted Mr. Nelson favors in days when he never dreamed of having a foreign coachman or sightseeing in Europe. We want the Star to further understand that this paper stands for the advancement of the commercial interest of the commonwealth, and when corporations go out of their way to assist the common people as the Armours and the Metropolitan are doing, we are for them first, last and all the time. We are for the man of brain, push and energy every day in the week and we will be the last to desert a man or corporation who employs our race and gives them a chance to rise in the race of life. We are thoroughly convinced that the Armour Packing Company is a staunch friend of the Negro who wants to work, and their long line of noble ancestry were friends of the race. Thirty-three per cent. of their employees are colored men and women. We went through the packing house and to our surprise we found the boiler room, heating and steam department managed by colored men—about fifteen in number with Mr. Wm. Hatfield in charge. He said that he had been with the Company 13 years and that Mr. Chas. W. Armour is one of the best men to his employees to be found anywhere and they are always pleased to consult him on any matter pertaining to their advancement. They have old colored men on the pension roll who draw their salary each week and get their turkeys Thanks, giving and Christmas. We met Mr. Chas. W. Armour, head of the Western branch of the greatest packers in the world. He is courteous, kind, gentlemanly and a diplomat and strictly business. He has no star chamber or red tape. We questioned him about the colored employees and what of their work. He said he never had a better class of workmen, that he could always count on their loyalty to the company and their work was highly satisfactory. He stated further that he always employed them, that his grandfather was a strong abolitionist. Mr. Armour was born on a farm near Stockbridge, Madison County, N.Y., and has been a hardworker all of his life, and it is through his great efforts and the Metropolitan that Kansas City is now one of the foremost cities in the West. Nearly all of the gigantic enterprises of that great commercial center have received his aid as there are but few men like him in the West who do things and knows how and when. Mr. Armour is worth ten thousand Nelsons on as many Stars. He helps the working man white and black, therefore we are with him and those who toil. We were conducted through the several departments of the JPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 1960. plant by Mr. James Feunell, general superintendent. He worked his way up from the bottom having drove cattle in the yards for the company when a boy. Mr. Armour makes his several managers by letting them work up from the bottom. Mr. Feunell is strictly business, knows every department and looks after the affairs of this great company whose business represents millions. He is kind and painstaking. He said the colored men were good workers and it was a delight for him to employ them. Mr. R F. Spence has charge of the beef cutting and boning department. He works about 75 men of which 33 per cent. are colored. It being piece work, the men are selected from the best butchers and they earn from $5 to $12.50 per day. Now, in the name of high Heaven, what has Nelson and his Star done toward making Kansas City what she is today? We answer, nothing save fight the Armours and the Metropolttan Street Railway company and other great concerns that has helped make Kansas City and feed thousands of laborers and their families. Why shouldn't the colored voters support the Metropolitan franchise when men like the Armours, who gives them employment are interested? This is why the best class of colored people are supporting the measure. Now let the Star and Mr. Nelson name any great number of colored men they ever employed. Mr. Armour employs them from coachman on up to foreman in his packing plant, but our friend Mr. Nelson prefers a French or English gentleman. Out in the State We visited Weir, Yale, Cherokee, Coffeeville, Pittsburg and Parsons the past two weeks. We found nearly everybody moving to the front, seeking property, buying land and town property, building homes and working at different trades. There are few idlers. A great change is going on among the race. At Weir the colored miners are doing fine. Most allow their homes, CHEBOKEE. We found the members doing well The town has several well to-do people of our race. James D. Smith, plasterer, owns a number of fine horses and colts from one fine bred mare He also owns a good piece of property and cattle, hogs and chick cows, which his wife takes delight in looking after. A B Myers owns the transfer business, hauls the mail from the postoffice to the depots, owns good property and good teams. His sons are with him His daughter teaches school at Fleming. A. B Freeman, carpenter and contractor, has lived in Cherokee for years and is the owner of good property. He is an industrious citizen. Justice of the Peace Van Hook is doing well. Smith Johnson, one of the prosperous miners, owns five acres in the suburbs, and some livestock. His wife is an expert at raising chickens. They also own a 160 acres of farm in Oklahoma. These good people would like to adopt a boy about five years of age. GIRARD We found a very small number of colored people. Lewis Lankford is owner of good property He has worked with the Hardware company for eighteen years His son conducts a fine tailoring and clothing establishment. Mr. Lankford is one of the leading citizens of Kansas The white people of Girard are fair-minded and seem to treat everyone with respect. YALE This camp was at one time the leader in the mining district. A few colored people remain, who are pro gressive and still keep the place alive. T. E. Jackson, a bachelor, owns a fine little confectionery and other property. S. Galloway has a neat restaurant and is doing fine Mrs Sarah White and husband own forty acres of well-improved land, and hogs, horses and cattle. B. G Jackson, G. M of E of the H.

S. cement plant, are prospering Chickens and hopes are their hobby. Most all of the colored people own their homes and are buying more. This section is noted for gas. There is one colored doctor, who is doing well. COPFLEYVILLE This city is holding its own. Large brick plants and other manufacturing are to be found. There are two drug stores owned by colored men. Frank Eagleson is with the Tennessee Drug Co., David Morris, owner, and Leroy Williams is with the M. E Woods Drug Co. There are two large groceries. Foster Williams does a large business and owns several thousand dollars worth of property. Rev. John Elias conducts another store that does an immense business. He sold his building to David Morris, a wealthy colored man for 85c00 a few weeks ago. The Reverend has sold his grocery and will retire about the first of the year. He bought a farm of fifty acres which he will work next year. Toole and Blakemore are the two most successful attorn ys in the state. Three colored physicians, and one dentist; Drs. Whittaker and NUMBER 49 Baskett, Gaines, the dentist, and one other. Dr. Baskett assisted in qulte a successful operation for cancer, a few weeks since. Rev. A H. Brooks, pastor of the A. M E. church is doing well. The church is one of the finest buildings in the state. Mrs Lizzie Sands conducts a first class restaurant and rooming house on South Walnut street. Her sister, Mrs Lewis, of Kansas City, Mo. and her nephew, George Hubbard, assist her. One going to Coffeyville will do well to stop at this place o quiness. Mrs. Etta Brooks, our correspondent, will send the news and collect All parties desiring this paper or who owe us may see her. She will also take items of news for the paper The ladies entertained in honor of Mrs Brooks upon her husband's return from conference at the home of Mrs. Woods on East Ninth street.

Stand by the Metropolitan. The great struggle for the uplift of the patrons of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company and the saving of money in the poor people's pocket is now on la Kansas City. This great company will reduce the fare to four cents and will assist in building several viaducts for the benefit of the city. It is the unbounded duty of the traveling public and especially those traveling long distances to work and vote for this franchise. Cheney's Licensed Embalmers and Funeral Directors. P.

Knights Templar Conclave. The Missouri and Kansas Knights Templar association held their annual conclave in this city Thanksgiving Day. The following commanderies were represented. Cyrene Commandery No. 3, Topeka, Far West, No.一, Kansas City, Mo. Northwestern, No. 6, St. Joseph, Mo. Mt. Oread, N. 14. Lawrence, and Emanuel No. 25, Kansas City, Mo. Meals were served to the Knights and their wives at the Masonic hall, 406 Kansas avenue. At the same place a banquet was served in the evening. The tables were beautifully decorated and much credit is due the wives of the local Knights for the manner in which the serving was done. Their names follow: Mendamnes, C. H. Barker, chairman, F. W. High, see'y, Wilbur Link, treasurer, Mollie Paos, Fannie Sales, Mary Smith, Henry Murray, John M. Wright, C. D. Moss, Horace Willis, B. F. Payne, C. C. Daniels, R. S. Sims, Laura Wilson, M. Smiley: A. R. Hightower, H. I. Monroe Everything was first-class and everybody was well pleased. Music was furnished by the Y. M. C. A orchestra and the following program was rendered at the banquet table: Processional Orchestra Song, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," Prelate Cyrene Commandery Introduction of Toastmaster, Sir Ned Carter, president of the asso'n Past Commander Emanuel, No. 25. Toastmaster's Response, H. I. Monroe, Cyrene Commandery, No. 3 Welcome Address, Sir A. M. Tnomas, Cyrene Commandery No. 3 Response, Sir W. H. Mosley, E. C. Far West, No. 3 "Truth" Sir M. D. Lowie E C. Northwestern, No. 6. "Fraternal Unity" Sir J. E Her iford, E. C. Emanuel, No. 25 Song, "God be With You till We Meet Again." Knights and Orchestra Benediction, Sir Allen P Smith The grand street parade in the afternoon was headed by Jackson's band and commanded by Captain H. I. Monroe. The Knights were well uniformed and appeared as stately as the knights of yore. The contest drill for the cup was held at the auditorium at night. Only two commanderies contested, Emanuel Commandery, No. 25, of Kansas City, and Cyrene Commandery, No. 3 on Lopeka. The judges were A. M. Inoma, and W. C. Martin, Lopeka; J. H. Miner, and C. H. Lewis, Kansas City. Vol. 1, Cyrene Commandery, first on the floor, and some excellent driving. Emanuel, upon command of a late Sappon Bunts, were also excellent in their driving. The judges trying to agree as to which was the better team, the cup is to be held by Emanuel Commandery until the contest in 1910. It is a glaring fault of selecting an even instead of an odd number of judges so that the captain did not agree that the captain will per agreement. It was reported that S. Joseph would not enter as it would be interesting for them and that it was a pre-arranged affair on the captain not to be present. The biggest hit of the day was Emanuel commandery's mascot, young Theodore Hornor. He is well drilled, and when he grows to manhood will make a proficient knight. Edward Brooks, who has been sick so long, died on the 25th and was taken to Coffeyville for burial. He was blaoksmith for the J. R.

ADOLPH GRIFFIN, Editor and Manager. The Wyandotte Gas company has made good. The service is all that could be expected, in fact better than in the most of the cities which had natural gas for a great many years. Their efforts to have a steady supply at all times has pleased everybody, and those who live where there is no gas are clamoring for it. The gas company has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring about this condition; and Kansas City, Kansas, has one of the best equipped natural gas distributing plants in the world. It is managed and conducted by business men of Kansas City, Kansas, who have the interest of the city at heart. If not molested by unnecessary legislation they will do much to promote the interest of all at present. The prices are sufficiently low so that all can have gas without a strafe. We commend the Wyandotte Gas Company, which is one of the greatest concerns in the West, and which has made it possible for the poor as well as the rich to enjoy the comforts of life when it comes to heating their homes. This is a home enterprise and it employs thousands of laborers to help maintain this magnificent plant. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. One of the most brilliant functions of the season was an informal dancing parry given by Mrs. Silas Chaney of this city, in honor of Miss Dovie Williams of Springfield, Mo., on the evening of Nov. 27, at Arlington Hall. This copy little hall was beautifully lighted and the splendidly gowned ladies with their pleasant faces and galiant cecret all added to the brilliancy of the affair. The most unique feature perhaps was the manner of introducing the guest of honor to the ladies and gentlemen present. It was as follows: I promptly at ten o'clock the grand march was led by Mrs. Chancy and Mr. Gaitha Page, followed immediately by Miss Williams and Mr. Fox and the honorary assistants with thir esports. After the conclusion of the grand march Mr. Page and Mrs. Chancy, Miss Williams and Mr. Fox formed a line and the ladies assisting introduced each guest to the receiving party as the march continued until each one had been introduced, after which dancing immediately followed. Miss Chaley was delightfully assisted by Madame I. F. Bradley, Win. McKnight and Leon Jordan. Dancing continued until far into the evening and when the hundred and fifty guests departed each expressed himself or herself as having a delightful time. --- You have missed a treat if you haven't seen the entertainment the Ideal Theatre are giving, a change of bill nghtly.
