HISTORICAL SOCIETY STATE HOUSE THE OPEKA PLAINDEALER Speech Before the National Negro Business League, Louisville, Ky., by J. E. Bush of Little Rock. VOLUME XI. Watch the The Negro Serv Speech Before the Business League by J. E. Bush J. E. Bush, one of the leaders among the colored race in Little Rock, delivered on yesterday the following address before the National Negro Business League at Louisville, Ky., on the subject of 'The Negro Servant Girl: "Mr. President, Gentlemen and Vising Friends of the National Negro Business League: "In the past those who have attempted to discuss this subject have run against the snags of bitter criticism. Hence, it was what fear and trembling that I accepted the place on the program to discuss the Negro servant girl. However, no matter how much we may seek to evade the question it is a live topic and we had just as well face the the issues before now as at some future time. When I commenced the preparation of this address I was inclined to take a posi simistic view of the question; but the facts disclosed by careful research have changed many of my opinions. I shall endeavor to show you, in a brief manner, the Negro servant girl's relation and importance to the South; that she is not so bad as supposed; her real shortcomings; what she has contributed to race development; the economic value of her position and our duty to her as leader. THE SERVANT G.RL'S PRELATION TO THE SOUTH. "For forty years Negro women have practically monopolized the position of servant girls in the South. In other words, they have done the cooking, kept the homes clean and nursed the children of the southern white man. The importance of this work is considerably more than the language conveys. The home is the bed rock upon which the structure of civilization is built; it is the source of all human progress and development. In view of the unprecedented advancement of the southern white man in the past half century, the logical conclusion is that his home the Negro servant girl has been an important character. The man who succeeds in life must have a working brain, a thinking mind and an earnest heart. This can only be attained by sleeping in well-made beds, clean and tidy homes and eating wholesome and well-prepared food. Southern statesmen have often said on the floor of the United States Congress that they would not exchange a meal prepared by a south-ern Negro woman for a menu at Delmonico's. Thus it is evident that the hand of the Negro servant girl has been a mighty lever in assisting the southern white man to rise to positions of importance. The delicate and responsible duty of rearing millions of sunny-haired southern children, of starring their little feet in the right paths and directing their thoughts into the proper channels, has been in the hands of Negro nurse girls. How well they performed this duty is evidenced by the large number of brilliant Southerners who came from the nurseries over which they presided. The spirit of chivalry and hospitality that has --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 17, 1900. made the Southerner famous the world over and has added no small credit to his history can be traced in the teachings of the Negro nurse girl, as it is a distinctive Negro trait and characteristic, and has been well portrayed in the works of the much loved southern author--Juel Chandler Harris. For forty years the Negro servant girl has kept her hand on the pulse of the South. Every beat and throbb of its heart have been known to her; let us see if she is holding her own FALSE ALARMS "As I told you in advance, I took up this subject presuming that the Negro servant girl was losing her hold. So much so that her position was fast passing into other hands. However, it is not my make up or government on presumption, and, to be sure of my footing, I instituted an investigation to find out if the Negro girl was losing out, and if so what were the causes. Accordingly I addressed letters to the mayors of fifty southern cities as follows: "Little Rock, Ark., May 24 '09 "To His Honor, the Mayor: "Dear S. I am making a study of the study of the Negro servant girl. The only way to get at the facts in the case is to reach the people who deal with the Negro servant girl firsthanded. I would like for you to favor me with a letter setting forth plainly and candidly any criticism, good or bad, that you may have on this particular question. It, as a whole, the Negro servant girl is not making a proficient servant I would like for you to state, from your point of view, the contributing causes. As the chief executive of a thriving city I take for granted that you are in a position to give out some information on the subject. If you are not, please favor me by placing this letter in the hands of some family that has or is at present using Negro servant girls. WELLFLEET, NEBR. Since the 20th day of November we have had plenty of snow and rain. About 2½ feet of snow fell and still it snowed and today it is still snowing. The old settlers of Nebraska say this is the hardest winter and the earliest since about fourteen years ago. It keeps the coa idealers busy loading wagons and unloading car loads of coal after car loads. Cattle are offering farther north and some are dying. We have all become used to the snow and are as happy as can be. On the way from North Platte, Nebr., Mrs. Jennie Morgan, daughter and son, little Jim, were lost in the snow storm. They were forced to stay all night in a hay stack. No one slept but Jim. It was about half past four the next evening before they were relieved. All are well and happy. On Bert Morgan's ranch he says there are none of his cattle suffering. I guess Saul Harwell is well pleased with the winters of Nebraska. Bert Morgan and Saul Harwell have been planning a trip to North Platte for about two weeks, but the snow storms head then of every time. SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. Miss Jessie Brown of Ft. Scott has just recently returned home after spending Thanksgiving and several weeks with her cousin, Mrs. Adah Stephenson. As she has formerly visited here. Her stay was a most delightful one with kinfolks and old friends. Dr. Garnett of Jefferson City spent several days in our city with old friends and acquaintances. While here he assisted Rev. P. C. Danfourth in a revival effort at the Mount Eagle Baptist church, out of which came much good. Lincoln High School is preparing elaborate programs and entertainments for the Christmas holidays or the eve of Christmas. These exercises are to far surpass those if possible given on Thanksgiving eve. These exercises will begin and last through the entire Christmas day. In the forenoon rooms 1, 2 and 3 at different hours will render their programs. In the afternoon rooms 4 and 5 and last, 6, the High School students will conclude these exercises. Parents and friends come and spend an entire day at school. The entertainments will be so arranged that you may witness them all. Refreshments, etc., will be served to all, we understand. On Friday last Rhetorical Division No. 2 of Lincoln High School of which Miss Marie W. Andrews is the supervisor and John Williams of Senior class captain, rendered a splendid program, which was highly commented on by Loth pupils and visitors. The following program was rendered: The program was completed by an Indian song entitled "Seminole," which was sung by John Williams and chorus, all of whom were costumed as Indians. Norris Wilburn was highly complimented for his performance of an Indian dance. Mrs. Lucinda Ward passed to the great beyond Monday morning, Dec. 6, about 7 o'clock. Age 52 years and 11 months. She was the moth of 10 children, 8 of whom are living, 5 boys and 3 girls. She was ill about 14 months. She was perfectly willing and prepared to go when her doctor gave her up. She said, "Doctor Jesus would be her Doctor," and told the family not to worry, as she was going to rest. She had been married to Geo. A. Ward for about 34 years, a member of the C. P. church for about 27 years. She leaves a husband, 8 children, 5 half-sisters, 1 half-brother and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her sad departure.

Dorsey's ministerial career in this city was celebrated under the supervision of Mrs. Lucy Williams, Monday eve, Dec. 13th. One of the best programs given to the public recently was rendered. It consisted of instrumental solos, duets, and vocal solos, papers on Rev. Dorsey's life work, readings, etc. It was a very enjoyable, high class program. A large and appreciated audience was present. Mrs. Izzie Smiley assisted by her husband, Mr. Chris Smiley, royally entertained the L. M. and Ls Club Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 5. In spite of the severe cold weather there were a nice number present. Good quotations, and interesting discussions were given on the author, Emerson. The study of Emerson is still continued, as we find him somewhat peculiar and the members not yet satisfied. Each member is to give his life a deep earnest study and bring in particular points in writing. Mrs. Edmondson, critic pro tem, gave a good report. Mrs. D. S. Smith, secretary, pro tem, arranged and read the minutes of the previous meeting. Mrs. E. C. Johnson, chairman of the committee of incorporation, gave to the club a splendid report. A new name was presented to the club. In the social hour the members enjoyed a menu of sweet grapes, olives, crackers, fried oysters, fruit pudding, assorted cakes, with the club colors, lavendar and white, and blackberry wine. All enjoyed these appetizing eatables, as well as the meeting. Mrs. Anna Stevens moved that the club adjourn to meet with Mrs. William Smith. 1005 Sherman St., on the 22nd inst., or during the holidays. Motion seconded by Mrs. N. J. Layton and carried.

Cooper, will attend the State Federation which convenes at St. Louis, Dec. 30, as a delegate for the Woman's Musical and Literary Club. Several members of the club will also attend as visitors. Mrs. Priscilla Bruce, Mrs. Mary Foster and Mrs. Adah Stephenson is expecting to accompany the number. We hope that as many members as can conveniently arrange will join this party. Mrs. Josephine Silone-Yates, A. M. Professor of English and History, and Adviser of Women, Lincoln Institute, has just succeeded in having a little girl of sixteen paroled from the penitentiary—where she had already been serving about two months of a two years' sentence—to the Detention Home for Colored Girls in Kansas City. It took all of her time and strength and as much money as she could collect and give; she expects no reward save this—she is happy in the knowledge that she has given this child a chance to reform and happy in the feeling "That it is more blessed to give than to receive." Ohl that we had more noble, generous, unselfish women and men, who would even interest themselves in the affairs of the poor, needy and distressed them, near their doors. This race would then be lifted to higher grounds. The second of December, the 50th anniversary of the death of John Brown, was fittingly observed by the Masonic family, which turned out in large numbers, and made quite a pleasant appearance. A plenid program, consisting of eloquent addresses and exquisite music, was rendered to a large and appreciative mas Bargains QUEEN OF THE WEST, DENVER. Mrs. A.

Has the state of Oklahoma a right to pass a separate coach law when its enabling act says the same is unconstitutional? This is evidenced by the fact that attorneys for plaintiff are moving cautiously and taking no chances; and if loyal sentiment and opinion mean anything, that when the case is heard on final merits at St. Paul in May, the Negro of Oklahoma will win. The Negroes of Oklahoma are being represented by their own attorneys, Harrison, Barbour and Tyler CHEROKEE, KANSAS. Mr. John Croft, of Weir, Kans, was visiting in Cherokee Sunday evening.

It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure.

She had lived in Topska a number of years and her many friend join THE PLAINDEALER in an endling despert sympathy to the bereaved family. Mrs. M. R. ha Ann Fisher, deceased, was born fifty eight years ago, near Verdrey, Abbeville county, South Carolina More than forty years have passed since her marriage to William H. Fisher To this union was born three children, Bessie, deceased, Georgia Anna Mance and William W. Fisher. She joined the A. M. E. church, a professed Christian, forty seven years ago, and was a loyal member of the same to the date of her passing. The heavy hand of sore affliction for a period, at different times, of more than thirty years, has rested upon her. Throughout her protracted pain and suffering she has borne it uncomplainingly. Her patient resignation and Christian fortitude have been alike a lesson and a blessing to all who have come in contact with her. Her thoughts for years have been fixed upon Heaven, and she was wont upon all occasions to tell her relatives and friends that she'd be satisfied when she awoke "in His likeness." To all questions respecting her eternal destiny she had but answer: "I am not afraid to die. I am ready and waiting for the Master's coming." While on her dying bed she said to her granddaughter, Mrs. Julia Walker, who tenderly nursed and administered to her physical wants even to her expiring breath: "I have no preparation to make; all of this has been attended to. As a wife she was faithful, true and kind. As a mother her love was boundless. As a citizen she was exemplary. To mourn their loss, she leaves a husband, two children and a host of relatives and friends. Among the many entertainments to be pulled off during the holidays will be an old time charity masque ball at Metropolitan hall on New Year's eve. The affair will be managed by Mr. D. C. Scott which is a guarantee that everything will be right. Miss Roselia Rice was quietly married to Mr. Engene F Brown of Fresno, Calif., Nov. 10th rt Pacific Grove, Calif. Gov. Snyder of the Presbyterian church officiated. Mr. Brown is a musician of much talent, and is well known on the Pacific coast. He owns property in Fresno, but for the present they will reside in the Grove. January 1st, 1970 they will be at home to their friends at 233 Cypress street, Pacific Grove, California. WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D. C.

The movement was called to the attention of the president not long ago in a comprehensive war, in Dr. Booker F. Wanning. In his first annual message to the Congress of the United States, read at the opening of the session, President Tait said of the proposed demonstration: "The year 1913 will mark the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation which gave freedom to Negroes in the United States.

Rev J H Duncan of Cottonwood Falls, was publicly ordained to the gospel ministry after standing a satisfactory examination. All the Auxiliaries were well represented in the boards. Rev Danlen preached the especial sermon to Bro Duncan. Quite a sum was raised for the purpose of our work. The basement of the new church was used as a dining room and it was served with credit by the ladies of the church. A two weeks series of meetings followed, conducted by Rev L S Arthur of Manhattan, who preached many strong and inspiring sermons. During this time Rev Arthur worked no a surprise party for the pastor. At close of meeting Rev Harrison rose to dismiss the service and was told to wait by Rev Arthur, who arose singing. The people also arose, came forward and laid many good things on the table. P. Harrison, with smiles all over his face, made the remarks appropriate for the occasion. On Wednesday, the 24 h ult., a quiet wedding took place at Mrs. M. Elliott's home, the contracting parties being Miss Sophie Elliott and Sylvester Abbott. We wish for them a fair sky and smooth sail over this tempestuous sea of trouble. Rev Harrison officiated and the honeymoon was spent in Topeka. Mre. Rev Harrison is visiting Sister L. MoAdoo at Carbondale and will visit Sister M Douglas at Emporit Dec. 23. Rev Harrison prescheed two sermons at Strong City last Sunday and is now conducting a series of meetings at Council Grove.
