TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Grand Master Collins's Wisdo n During the Past Two Years Has Placed the Order Ten Years Ahead. The wonderful progress made by Prince Hall Grand Lodge A F and A M, of Kansas and jurisdiction under the management of the present grand officers is gratifying to her two thousand or more members. The order pact to be widowed claims within thirty days from the time that the notice of death is filed with the secretary. This policy was inaugurated by C H. M Collins, the present Grand Master, who is a young man of excellent character THE NEW YORK TIMES THE NEW YORK TIMES GRAND MASTER C. H. M. COLLINS. and ability. He is in the employ or the Government railway mall or I and is one of the best men in the service. I: was he who started the movement to buy a home for the widows and orphans as well as a home for old and helpless Masons It had been talked of for years bu THE NEW YORKER FRANK JENNINGS, CUSTODIAN W AND O FUND. none attempted to carry out the plan until he took hold of the reins. A committee was appointed to purchase a site for a home. They selected eighty acres of land four and a half miles north of Tonganoxie, Kansas, on the Northwestern road out of Kansas City to Leavenworth. The land is almost paid for, costing $400, mos. of which was by contribution. At the next setting of the grand lodge at Coffeyville, an appropriation to improve will be made; then all of the windows, orphans and master masons who cannot care for themselves will be admitted to the home. This is one of the greatest undertakings of the Masons west of the Mississippi river. This land can be made to produce enough to keep several in a good, healthy condition The question now is to do more; talk less. Our traternal orders can make no mistake in buying land and developing what there is in the soil. We are 102 told that there is a small town near this site that can be made a firstclass place. Where is the man with sufficient ability to establish a town for colored people and make it grow The Grandmsster loves the order and was the first to give $25 toward this home. He is not looking for money to build himself up off of the Masons of Kansas. He has a position that pays him well, therefore he is not running around visiting lodges incurring expenses upon the brothren. If he makes a mistak, it is not intentionally. He loves his brothren and they love him. Following is hisasonic record. Made it Cedar Bough Lodge. No. 23 Olaine, Kansas, May 19th, 1901 Demitted to Pride of the West Lodge.

In October, 1809, he was initiated into Scottish Rite Masonry from the first to the thirty second degree inclusive. On October 18th, in a class consisting of Dr. W. T. Vernon, Dr M. O.

Scott is one of the strongest young men in the state, and stands clear and clear and is as bright and honest as the noonday sun. He knows the workings of the Masonic order. He loves his brethren and is loved by the brethren of the entire jurisdiction. When Mr. Collins retires it is already written that he will succeed him as Grand Master. He is one of the finest educators of Kansas, but since taking unto himself one of F. Scott's leading young ladies, he therefore stays home and takes care of the baby. The treasurer, Mr. A. D. Hines, who is serving his third term, has resided in Salina for a number of years. He was elected to the office twice by acclamation. His bond was $2000 the first term, but was increased to $4000, and is signed by some of the most weal by and influential men of Sal'na. He is an upright, dignified gentleman, who is careful with the funds and so counts for every cent at the grand session. He also is in sympathy with the movement to establish a Mazonic home, wishing to help all who are unable to help themselves. Mr. Frank Jennings is a native o. Mls.issippi, where he lived until 1877, since which time he has lived in Kansas City, Kansas. He is a number of Prudence Lodge, No. 6. A. F. and A. M., and has been a member of Prince Hall Grand Lodge since 1896. He was appointed custodian of the Widows' and Orpans, land in 1908 by Grand Master C. H. H. Collins and was re-appointed this year. In 1888 he became a member of the Royal Arch Chapter and also the Royal Commendory of which he is now secretary and Past Eminent Commander. Mr. Jennings is an influential and prominent c.tizen of Kansas City, and has a very interesting family. Mr. Dennis Jones, P. G. M. of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, was initiated a Mason in Denver, Colorado in 1876 and is now a member of St. Mark Lodge, No 10. Leavenworth.

The background is a plain, light-colored surface with no visible text or details.] GRAND TREASURER A D. HINES. body's Treasury,' delivered an address last night in the spacious auditorium of True Reformers' Hall, before one of the greatest gatherings ever assembled in the proud capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The elite of Richmond society was there in force, and the oldest inhabitants said it was the most brilliant and exclusive audience they had seen at any time within the walls of a Richmond hall. The leaders in church, office and affairs of state came early in order to secure seats and hear the magnetic Dr. Vernon, whose reputation as a classic orator had preceded him. 'His subject was The Future of the Negro in America,' and this fruitful theme was handled in an eloquent and exhaustive manner, carrying with it valuable information touching the past and present history of our people, and discussing in prpohetic fashion our prospect for years that are to come. He was generously applauded throughout, and at the close was tendered a pronounced ovation and was presented with an immense bouquet of American Beauty roses. "Many tributes were paid Dr. Vernon, by both the white and colored press, and an eloquent tribute was delivered by Dr. W. . Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, the greatest organization of that denomination in Virginia. Said Dr. Johnson: "He is an orator of calm, impassioned, sparkling, conversational grace, of restrained intensity, of insuperable poise, of broad culture, who, showing the high art of achieving great results by the simplest means, conducts his audience, not only by a steady flame, but by a succession of lightning flashes; crowds long processes of reasoning into epigram; abashes political selfishness by a classical jest; punctures his stately reputation with a diamond point of a fatal epithet; and with no more apparent effort than that of breathing, he utters the word which is destined to become the watchword of the struggling --- us New Year! Negroes of this country."—The Advocate, W. Va. Register W. T. Vernon, at the invitation of Bishop B. F. Lee, visited South Carolina and addressed the citizens of Columbia on Monday, December 13th, and the citizens of Charleston on Tuesday, December 14th. Dr. Vernon also visited Allen University, the school supported by the A. M. B. denomination in that episcopal district, and also addressed the South Carolina Conference. He was accorded many honors. The Columbia State, the leading whitlo daily of Columbia, published his address, and commented very favorably upon the same. This was duplicated by the Charleston News and Courier, one of the great papers of the South, and for many years the leading publication of the Southern Atlantic seaboard—the paper The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph with a blurred background. There are no discernible features or text that can be clearly identified. furnishing a reporter for this great meeting, which was attended by aristocrat Charleston, made up of the exclusive circles of the South. His trip was productive of great good. While there he was entertained by Dr. W. P. Carolina of Columbia, the President of Allen University. While in Charleston he was the guest of Dr. N. B. Sterrett. The leading citizens vied with each other in making his visit most pleasant. The helpful address delivered will prove a source of inspiration to the people of that great state. T. H. PAST GRAND MASTER D. A. JONES The Register returned to Washington to meet Bishop Abraham Grant, the great churchman so popular in the Fifth Episcopal District, and known throughout the country for his piety and good deeds. Bishop Grant was in Washington attending the meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board, which met at the White House, President Taft being a member of this great organization. --- ```markdown ``` NUMBER 51 Ask Your Grocer forut sun Glow Bread It is the Best and Most Wholesome.

They are driving capital and business from thecity, They cry from moin till night, from January to January; nothing pleases them. Men of mores are atiari to myret hore for fea there capual with be confiscate | Atevery session of the eunctl a resuvlution cr threat is mide to oust cr investigate sore one's busin ss. Fer initanee, the Gas company, which employs from fifty to one handred people the year round, pays a farge tax, witb thousands of dollars invest- ed. Theiragest, Mr. Treleaven, is unmercifully abused by the council and a coterie of business men who want everything their way and think no one else has a right in Topeka but them. The agent of the gas campany has been and is doing all he can to keep the gas up to the stand- ard. He can’t go into the bow- els of the earth and force it out, nor can he change the tempera— ture to increase its velocity. We all like natural gas and we will have to wait on nature for the use of it. The company has spent thousands of doWars in im proving the plant, which was paid out for labor and made To- peka grow. For God's sake, stop talking foolishness about making the gas compaay forfeit their franchise. The eyes of the world are upon Topeka. She is becoming the laughing-stock of the outside public. Capitalists and travel- ing men do sot come, and those who are here are trying to get away. We have lost a dozen of our best men within the last few years who have gone elsewhere to invest their money. Two of the largest manufacturing con- cerns of the town are preparing to move away. The hotels ara running ate loss; the Copeland cannot be re- built, all because the knockers fight every man who wants to do something, The Commercial Club and a few banks in Topeka have surrounded themselves with certain people to advertise and Joan the people’a money to, thereby making it hard for one outside of the coterie to do bus- iness in Topeka. If the gas company could get out without a floss, it would. Manager Treleavan certaialy has the patience of Job and the cour- age of Hercules to combat with this crowd of carbuncles which hasinfested Topeka for years, He certainly earns his salary and $f the company has anything Topeka crowd. Every explo- sion, every accident iaiafd at the door of the gas company. If Topeka keeps up her presont gait she will bea whistling sta- tion soon. Traveling men come and stay between trains and go on to Kansas City. Men are not going to stayin a town where they are hunted down like wild animals. If Topeka wants to grow Iet the knockers take a back scat. There will be very Hate iwmproverent in 191o ex- cept that which isin progress at thistime. Men of capital are becomivg disgusted with the state of affairs in this city. DEFEAT OF THE METROPOLITAN The defeat of the Metropoll- tan franchise is a set-back to Kansas City. The company was fuir and reasonable with the city i theie propysition for an cx- tersion of twenty-five years aft- er theeapiraticn of the present hunches, (which has sixteen yearstorun ‘the company of fu cute sell sin tichets for 25 cents, equivalent toa four cent fire, to za into cffect at ence. Uf the proposition carried this was over a million dollars a year savings to the public. They also agreed to spend ane million col- lars on viaduct and other im- provements too {numerous to mention, and a better street car service to meet the congested districts during business hours. The defeat means many idle men, who will have to call upon Mr Nelson and his Stag for em- ploymeat. Whilst the defeat meant much gratification to the Star it meant chagrin and disap- pointment to the laboring men. The wail of the calamity howler has caused a good many honest peopleto suffer. The progses- sive people of Kansas City sup- ported the franchise. It is a shame that such a financial prop- osition has to be submitted to everybody who is entitled to a vote because he is a man 21 years of age, with probably no interest in anthing but him- self, or may oppose on person- algrounds Any time a labor- ing or business man votes against a corporaticn that wants to spend money on improving their business they are not worthy of a vote and should be disfran- chised, Such voters are danger- ous, and they lurk in every nook and corner to down progressive- ness, The calamity howler is all over the world; very few sane people pay any attention to him. Let allof Kansas City's progressive people get together and assure the Metropolitan Railway that they mean to stay with them and procure for them what they want. Such men as Charles W. Ar- mour and others interested in the Metropolitan have enough for Kansas City and her Jabor- ing people for them to appreci- ateit, and when they voted down the franchise; they did not injure Armour nor the Metropolitan, but themselves.

Notes from the Lawrence Daily Journal. WALKER AND HIS MOTHER TO GO EAST. It is said that Mrs. Alice Myers, mother of Nash Walker, the comedian, has decided to return to New York, with her son, and is desirous of selling her property at 401 Indiana street. Mr. Walker is much improved in health and will return to New York in about six or eight weeks, owing to his different business responsibilities. And, of course, his mother feels that her place is with her son, although the idea of leaving Lawrence is a great sacrifice. One of the promising students on the Hill is a negro girl, Miss Ruby Thornton, who is said to be one of the most brilliant students who ever attended K. U. She is educating herself for missionary work in Africa and those who know her say her qualifications for such service are above the ordinary. She has one of the best all around records in the university. In an argument and debate class she electrified her hearers one day with an oration on the "Quality of Service," taking her subject from that Biblical quotation about hewers of wood and drawers of water. The girl knew whereof she spoke, for she is working as a housemaid in order to pay her way through school. --- --- ae = E f is
