THE OPEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XI. Pretenders Step Aside! The Progressive Element of the is Crowding Out the Drones---Time for Progress. To the Pretenders of the Negro race of America; You had better get busy or you will be overtaken and routed to an everlasting oblivion by the progressive man of the race who are rushing forward at a breakneck speed, buying and tilling land, and growing products of all kinds; cattle, horses, chickens and everything that the world demands; educating firstclass physicians and surgeons, lawyers, teachers and preachers who are succeeding in their vocations on their merits alone. Scores of business men who are diplomats are using their best methods in carrying on their trade. They are polite, quick, not pretentious. The world is not looking for the shiftless man as a leader. Men with pride, energy, property and success ful business are what we want in all lines of our daily business. Get something, have something, be something if you want to count for anything in the Negro'race. The fellow who lives up to all he earns, especially when he could save something, and insists that he knows more than anyone else in the community ought to be able to help some in that community without being helped himself all the time. Loud talk will not pay the groceryman, neither will loud dressing. So, Mr. Pretending Negro, come off the limb, we all see you've got down to your size. TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL Kanaas soil knows no color line. Two of our young men, Lewis Ford and Raymond Bradshaw, entered their corn in the Shawnee County Corn Growers' contest.

Our farmers have done considerable butchering. Recently they have killed and packed over 3000 pounds of pork, 350 pounds of lard and made 200 pounds of sausage and have not finished yet.

V where he will represent our institution at the International Student Volunteer movement This gathering will be composed of college representatives from every part of the world.

Miss Lotta Moss of Emporia, Kans. has returned home to spend the Christmas festivities with her relatives. The Court of Fame which was repeated by request at the A. M. E. Church was a declared success. This play was witnessed by a large and pleasing house. Although grand when first witnessed, many new songs and features were added to it, which rendered it the more enjoyable. Miss M. Stemmons was directoreess. Toe programs at Lincoln high school Dec. 23rd, were all high class and entertaining. The lower rooms were dismissing or had turned out for home when the upper classes or students were just beginning to open for their programs. It is gratifying to say that the parents and visitors turned out in great numbers, and they expressed themselves in pleasing terms as to the work and rapid progress made by pupils. In room No. 6 divisions1 and 2 gave a most excellent program, several numbers deserving special mentin, but space will only permit mentioning little six-year-old-Harold Freeman, who sang so beautifully. His parents should be very proud of him and cultivate and train such a voice. Dec. 22nd the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Smith was thrown open to the Woman's Musical and Literary Club, which was given full sway. A large number gathered near the usual hour of 2:30 o'clock. Being in the holidays, the order of the business and program was somewhat changed and varied and of all the meetings this was one of the best. The women were all in sweet moods, high spirits and attended strictly to business. Every one present needs a special compliment as each seemed to loose sight of self and sought to bring a smile of pleasure on some one else's countenance. At this meeting the members and visitors became perfectly satisfied with the discussion of the author Ralph Waldo Emerson, whom they have studied now for the fourth meeting. Surprising, deep and excellent papers were brought in by Mesdames Sadie Chamberlan, and Nancy J. Layton. The favorite quotation was given by Mrs. Anna Stevens; it was well chosen and beautifully recited. Second best by Mrs. N. J. Layton. For discussion and criticism a paper was read by the President, Mrs. Bertha B. Cooper, but instead of receiving criticism and discussion, she received pretty and various compliments, until she was embarrassed. Some money was collected and a new name added to the club. The Life of Longfellow will be carefully studied at next meeting. Mrs. Mattie Young will lead in discussion at next meeting. Take heed to the subject which will be given out in a few days. The addresses of the visitors, Mesdames Julia Wilburn Chainey and Mary McKinney, were interesting and encouraging. The donations of money given by Mrs. Mary Kinney was highly acceptable. A course menu consisting of the Christmas delicacies was served by the hostess, Mrs. Delia A. Smith, whom one said of her to know her is but to love her. She was assisted by her charming daughters, Misses Naonia and Edwina Smith. holidays with us, but will return to her home, Emporia, Kans.

Many of the students who are away will return home to spend the Christmas holidays. Mr. C. L. M. Cooper of Lawrence, Kan., returned Tuesday morning to spend the Christmas holidays with parents and friends. Enroute home he spent several days with relatives in Kansas. He is looking well and reports good work. Do not fail to attend "The Court of Fame" at the A. M. E. Chapel. Thirty-five or more participants. This will without doubt be one of the best dramas you will have an opportunity to witness in 1009. Miss M. Stemmons, Directress. Mr. Mosby of St. Joseph is among his many friends again, we are pleased to see. Souvenir Xmas cards with appropriate verses were given to all. During the social and refreshing hour exquisite music was rendered by Mr. Landan and Miss Edwina Smith, violinist and pianist. At 5 p. m. motion was carried to adjourn. Next meeting with Mrs. Lucy Williams on Summitt Ave., Jan. 12, 1910. We regret that Mrs. Ollie J. Martin, one of Lincoln high school's most fascinating supervisors, will not apend the claiting supervisors, will not spend the Thursday, Dec. 23, the public schools closed for the holidays. It was a gala day at Lincoln school. From nine in the morning until five, many visitors were entertained in the various rooms with very excellent programs. All the rooms were artistically decorated in the Christmas colors, candles and bells, and the children with their teachers had the true Christmas spirit. Room No. 4 treated the patrons to a very elaborate three course dinner which was enjoyed by all. COFFEYVILLE, KANS. Mrs. Addie Tayes of Tulsa, Okla., is visiting her father, Mr. David Morris and family. Miss Lillie Burns, teacher in the public school, will spend the holidays at her home in Lawrence, Kans. Trevil Woods is at home from western University to spend the holidays. The bazar and baby contest held at the A. M. E. Church last week, was a pleasing feature, all the stock was closed out except a few five and ten cent articles. Votes were cast to the number of 2,220, hence the amount of money taken in was $22.20 as the contest was based on one cent a vote. Erma Jones received first prize, Wayman Carter the second prize. Other babies each received a gift from the committee. John Callon, living on Mulberry St. died last Friday evening of consumption. His funeral was held Sunday from the A. M. E. Church. Rev. A. H.

Henry Simpson, residing with his mother at 507 east 3th St., died Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock after three years suffering of tuberculosis of the lungs. Mr. Simpson was reared in Coffeyville and had the sympathy and respect of many friends. He leaves a mother, a niece and nephew, his only relatives to mourn his loss. Being a member of the Masonic lodge No. 70, the Masons had charge of the funeral service, which was beautifully carried out to the letter. Rev. H. T. S. Johnson delivered an appropriate sermon. Mrs. Simpson desires to thank her many friends and members of the lodge for flowers and their kindness during the illness and death of her son. Hazel, the five year old child of Mrs. Lula Bell, died at 11:30 Monday night from burns received at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon. Funeral service will be held from the Macedonia Church, Wednesday at 2:30 o'clock. The mother was away on business and the children being alone, were playing with paper, to which they had set fire. Her clothing caught and she was severely burned about the hands, face and body. Father Washington, living a few miles in the country from here, died last Saturday night. Old age was the cause of death. His age was 113 years. He was complaining slightly and his daughter going to his home found him asleep in death. His body being warm, he had passed away just a few moments before the arrival of his daughter. Being an old settler he was well known and highly respected. Howard Sueyor, who has been suffering a severe attack of stomach trouble, is some better today, but still confined to his bed. State of Kansas. 89 Shawnee County.

WITH the next issue, THE PLAIN DEALER starts on another year of usefulness. We realize that it is impossible to please all, yet we feel that a majority of the thinking people ladore our stand for what we honestly and conscientiously believed to be right. Our course in the future will be as in the past, and we will stand our boldly without fear or favor for that which appeals to us as being right. We wish each and all a happy prosperous New Year. We hope that the U. S. court will convict those midnight marauders who ran a colored man and his daughter from their claim several months ago in Stevens County, Kansas. Eight men have been indicted for the offense. This man was a homesteader and those Texas renegades did not want colored people to own the land. They put up a job and made him reliequish his rights. We hope he will get his land back and that these Texas devils will be sent to h—l or to the penitentiary. U. S. Attorney Harry Bone deserves much credit in prosecuting these varmints of the earth who believe the devil and his angels. We shall watch the case with interest. We are proud to note that two students of the Topeka Industrial Institute, of which Prof. William B. Carter is president, won in the contest of the Shawnee County Corn Growers' association this month and will be guests of the association at Manhattan at the experimental meeting, the association paying their expenses. We are glad the young Negro is awakening the opportunities of scientific education along agricultural lines. The boys are Lewis Ford and Raymond Bradshaw. Ford came to the school two years ago without friends or money Prof. Carter saw in him something good, gave him a chance and Ford, just held on and now his reward has begun to come to him for his honest efforts. Let him and Bradshaw continue their good work. The race needs thousands like then -Rght now. W. we glad to n to the report of President Allen of L. Colin Institute It shows the brains and competence of the man. It shows that he is an educator and knows the needs and requirements of his race better than a majority of them know themselves Men like him are needed in the race every day. His report gives a thorough account of the work of the institution for the year, ending August 31st, 1909. We quote the following paragraphs: "We are trying to develop in them "race pride," not "to stir the fires of race antipathy," but to make them peaceable and good citizens in the communities where they are permitted to dwell" "We are not disturbed here over so-called 'race question.' It is the verdict of the best white citizens that our students are manly and respectful in their bearing and thoughtful in their business relationships with them. To my knowledge no thought of friction between the races ever arises. They are taught to go about their work with a joyful mind, thankful for life and opportunity in which all their faculties and powers may have full away, and in which they can think and speak and live for themselves, for their race, for the r Always.

Room and board by the day or week Ford's Hair Pomade 3 Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? 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 pew life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good" if you want the best results buy Ford's Hair Pomade.
