Fifteen Hundred Enthusiastic Kansans Celebrate the Birth of Lincoln Largest Celebration in the Club's History. Of the many gatherings in Topeka during the past few years, one have surpassed the ninth annual gathering of the Kansas Lincoln Day club at Metropolitan hall on Friday evening of last week. It was a magnificent audience made up of the brains of the state--in fact it was the largest and most enthusiastic celebrations in the club's history. Over fifteen hundred people representing almost every section of Kansas paid tribute to humanity's truest friend, Abraham Lincoln. Like the Sainted Christ, he was sent to relieve suffering humanity and in so doing liberated master and slave. It was the first meeting of the club that the Hon. W. T. Vernon, registrar of the United States treasury, had failed to be present. He was detained by an engagement to speak in New York, and while a look of disappointment was on the faces of many, the situation was soon happily relieved when all found themselves soaring up into flights of eloquence with Hon. W. W. Fisher, who appeared in his stead. As usual, the eloquent Carolian did himself proud and proved a strong rival for the oratorical mind of Prof. Vernon. It was a splendid speech and left a lasting impression. Among the others who spoke were Hon. Corvine Patterson, president of the club and ex-street com. missioner of Kansas City. His annual address was well received and showed the master mind of a careful, considerate and successful business man, and his two admin. istrations as president have indeed added to the success of these annual celebrations. The next speaker was Rev. J. E. Edwards, pastor of Saint John A. M. E. church. As a speaker, he is eloquent, logical and forcible and left an impression that will bear fruit. Among the musical numbers was singing by Mesdamics W. W. Fisher and Essie Clark. Both ladies possess sweet voices and were heartily received. The banquet which followed the speaking was prepared by the "White Rose Club" of Saint John A. M. E. church. It was a fine spread and very much enjoyed by the diners. James H. Guy acted as toastmaster and the following was the program: Invocation, Rev. J. A. Hamlett. Music, Yale Orchestra. "Western University," James Fulbright. "Industrial Education,"Prot.W. R. Carter. "Commission Form of Government,"Fred Roundtree. "John Brown's Sacrifice,"W. Kansom. "Our Public Schools,"W. E. Jacoba. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 18, 1910. "Negro as a Soldier."

Carter, Topeka; Nathaniel Sawyer, Topeka; Dr. Grant Brown Wichita; Thos. Sneed, Coffeyville Prof. Vernon in New York Lincoln Day! New York Feb. 16, 1910.—W. T. Vernon, registrar of the United States treasury, lectured to a great audience at Mount Olive Baptist church last evening. His subject was "The Work of Lincoln and its Influence on Civilization." Mr. Vernon diseased at length the growth of the sentiment for freedom, the anti-slavery movement, the movement for democratic liberty in the Old World, which led to emigration to the United Statts. He discussed the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska bill. In concluding his remarks he said: "John Brown was one of the pioneers who went West to help make Kansas a free state. "Lincoln's anniversary will forever remain to us a holy time and Kansas a holy place. It was the Kansas spirit that made John Brown what he was; for John Brown was but Kansas incarnate. His work in later years; his capture at Harper's Ferry, crystalized the sentiment of North and South, and brought on a conflict ripened for the advent of Abraham Lincoln. "Out of the remarkable life and teachings of Lincoln, man received a new idea of duty to fellow man; and the doctrine of free government became a living sentiment in which all the elements of our American life today pay just pride. "Not one of all America's millions would erase a single line Lincoln wrote; would undo one deed he performed; for truly he brought freedom to all. "I stood one day by Lincoln's tomb and saw where lay the martyred saviour of a race, and who until his death more nearly brought equal justice to all men than any of their sons. Sent from his God to do this work of liberty and humanity's need, he won his fight and died. After him men saw his greatness all the more. "This wise, patient man was truly ordained for this work. He came unheralded, out of the night; and, in a day pregnant with titanic things, changing and epoch making, was equal to every emergency. As the sun went down on his life that day, it closed on one, the story of whom is stranger than fiction "Whether as law maker, statesman, emancipator or man, or all combined, Mr. Lincoln stands alone--the unapproachable He stood for that which was right and best; he stood for equality before the law; he stood for liberty; he stood for humanity. His Emancipation Proclamation means little to us unless we are embracing every opportunity for development and progress. In proportion as we shall educate the youth of the race; accumulate realty holdings; make ourselves worthy and indispensable elements in the body polite, will we prove that Lincoln's Emancipation was not in vain, and give heart and cheer to the friends of another generation rapidly passing, and to those who will be raised up in the days that are to come. With each man doing his duty as best he can, the work of Lincoln will not die. "The influence of Lincoln's work is felt in the great movement for govermental reform and human uplift, not alone in this country but throughout the civilized world. Freedom for all was the salvation of this country, and, although a new pronouncement in the history of the world, it stood the test successfully, and human rights are more sacred and will so remain throughout all time." Oklahoma Bound. Tuesday evening Mr. George W. Hamilton, wife and family departed for Hennessey, Okla., where they will reside in the future. Mr. Hamilton owns a beautiful 160 acre farm, well stocked and improved and it is here that he and his sons intend to seek their fortune in this land of plenty. Mr. Hamilton is one of the best and most highly respected gentlemen that ever lived in Topeka, and the new state can well feel proud of securing such an enterprising gentleman as a citizen. Seven years ago it was in his fertile brain that the idea of a Negro undertaking establishment was conceived, and together with Mr. Fred M. Stonestreet, the present magnificent business at 636 Quinoy street was established. The Firm was known as Stonestreet & Hamilton and is one of the most successful concerns in town. He disposed of his interest to Mr. Benj. Gaines. Mr. Hamilton is a native of Kentucky, and settled in Topeka when a small boy and grew to manhood here. He has always been a hard worker and firm in every conviction that appealed to him as being right. While a participant in many battles for the civil and political rights of the race, and oft times his opposition engendered the bitterest feeling, yet those whom he most bitterly opposed; love, honor and respect him. He is every inch a man and the best wishes of a wide circle of friends goes with him and his estimable family. Monday night a banquet and "smoker" was tendered Mr. Hamilton at the comfortle quarters of Mr. Frank Demery on Kansas Ave. nue. The feast was one fitted to grace the table of a king and was served in style. It was a "fare well" that appealed to the hearts of all, and many of the tosters were almost moved to tears when they referred to the leaving of such a true friend and neighbor. The affair lasted from a. in. till JOHN H. HARRIS MR. GEO. W. HAMILTON. 2 a m. The following guests were present and all toasted to the honored guest: Prof. Geo. W. Jackson, P. B Moore, F. M. Stone street, R High tower, E Edwards, A. P. Smith, W. Vaughn G. W. Hamilton, P A Copps, J W Barker, Nick Chiles, J. W. Edmonds, Frank Dorney, Sol. Hule and R Tucker. Topeka Happenings. The City Federation of Women's clubs will meet Friday 25th at 2:30. Members and friends are requested to be present. Last Thursdaynight at the Adams cafe a smoker was given by Mr. Earl W. Beck for the young men of his wedding party. A delicious luncheon was served. Dr. and Mrs. E. J. M'Campbell, of Kansas City, Mo., are the proud parents of a fine baby boy--the first grandchild in the M'Campbell family and all are happy. The Doctor is well known in Topeka, having graduated from Washburn Medical College, and has many friends here who join in extending congratulations. The Owl Grocers have first-class stores, clean and neat, and save money to those who trade with them. The scanning tactics of the State Board of Health will not deter their customers. If the board would look after the things that they should they would not have time to interfere with men who are honest and who are building, up Kansas, if they thought anything wrong they should have gone so the store and made a request, instead of publishing the matter. The home of Mr. John James was the scene of a very pretty wedding Thursday of last week when his daughter, Miss Orpha, was united in NUMBER 7 marriage to Mr. Percy G. Cole of Pittsburg. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. G. Fishback in the presence of a few friends. At the noon hour the strains of L. hengrin's march played by by Miss Adah James heralded the approach of the bridal party. The bride was attured in white luster portes swan, made princess and trimmed with braid and ribbons. Her bouquet was of white roses and hyacinths, tied with ribbon and smilax. After the ceremony a reception was held and an elegant repast was served. It might be mentioned that just three years before the wedding day the couple met while attending the manual training school at Pittsburg. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. V. Cole of Baxter Springs. They will be at home to their friends at 102 West Adams avenue, Pittsburg. The Great Howard Revival at Joplin, Mo. To give anything like a full account of the religious conditions of the people of Joplin prior to the great union revival, and then to tell of its results would occupy more space than we are allowed, but we want to briefly describe some of the great good accomplished. Our thriving city of 45,000 inhabitants has been the object of fortune hunters for years. Well may it be said that both races in Joplin made money an idol. Under these conditions it goes without saying that ill-famed houses, dens and dives are numerous, and many have the belief that Joplin is merely a rough mining camp, when, on the contrary, these money seekers have built a thriving city Our people own beautiful homes, elaborately furnished. A number of first class places of business are owned and conducted by Negroes. They own conveyances and are well dressed and fashionable people, out in the mad rush for wealth and supremacy they neglected the simple Christian life and their religion consisted merely of a paltry twenty five cents handed the minister should he pass them on the street or look them up. When the spirit of revival broke out Rev J. P. Howard led the army for the Negroes and Rev. W. A. Sunday for the whites Rev. Howard is a man of great Christian influence and came to Joplin highly recommended by Bishop Grant. While he does not possess a flattering personal appearance there is that personal magnetism within his soul that draws all men unto him, and to know him is to love him for his manly reserve. He has an excellent voice and praises God in song in a way that would melt the heart of the vilest sinner. It is common now on the streets of Joplin to hear little boys and men whistling or to hear the mother in the home singing some of Rev. Howard's favorite songs. Rev. A. J. Williams of the M. E. church and Rev. C. W. Newton of the A. M. E. church combined combined their forces and kept three objects before the people two weeks prior to Rev. Howard's coming: God, prayer and Howard. This spirit animated them during the four weeks of the evangelist's stay, and the result was that the audiences increased from the twenties to fifties The Topeka Plaindealer ...ALL THE...

Negroes throughout America should get together and combine their financial interests. They need corporations of all kinds with men at the head who would strive to build up the enterprises. There are so few of the race who are lending their efforts in this direction. So long as they continue to tread the wine press alone, so long will they wonder in the wilderness of poverty and distress. We are sorry to note the fact that so few of the race care so little about business and so few try to get into that channel. The various lines of commerce are practically unknown to blacks save the grocery, restaurant and barber business and in this they are over crowding. Dry goods, notions, hardware, lumber, furniture and the like have no charms for the man of color. In politics he has made almost a complete failure. None of the party leaders even consult leading Negroes any more, thus practically eliminating them from the game. As this is true, it is high time for the race to get busy. The best thing for a large majority is get to the farm if nothing more than five or ten acres. Devise some plan to raise sufficient feed for a few hogs, chickens and calves. Increase the herd, live economical and in five years you will be able to purchase more land or go into business if you so desire, but the farm is by far the best proposition. N groes, get busy. NEGRO leagues that have been quietly slumbering for the past two years have heard the rumble of the political pot and aroused from their quiet repose, and from now till after the primaries, the atmosphere will be filled with resolutions. These "leagues" are a knock on the Negro, and leaders of all parties have long since learned not to regard them seriously. Their "resolves" have no effect with the rank and file of the race—in fact they treat the matter as a huge joke. They have no goods to delivdr, and why should political parties lose sleep over the distressing cries of this restless few COLOR LINE IN COLORADO In the District court Wednesday the case of Dr. F. E. McClain against the Curtis Theatre company was on trial. The suit was for damages against the company for refusing to sell the doctor a ticket on the ground floor of the theater when the Black Patti troupe was here on the 25th of February, 1909. This was a colored troupe which advertised not only in white newspapers, inviting persons to attend the farewell exhibition of Patel, but also advertised in the Colorado Statesman, the leading colored paper in the West, then when colored persons responded to those invitations given through the papers, they were shamefully mistreated when they applied for comfortable seats to sit in while they enjoyed the play. Dr. McClain brought suit for $500 for being refused and discriminated against, his case was ably handled by Attorneys Ross and Townsend and the jury was all white men. They by their verdict showed that there are many white men in this community whose integrity and fairness of purpose will see to it that justice is done the Negro and the laws of Colorado vindicated. The Colorado Statesman commends the jury who performed their persistent efforts to advocate the rights of the colored people in this community.—Colorado Stareeman. We gladly note the fact that an old Kansas friend and race leader, W. B. Townsend, is still forging to the front proving himself an able lawyer and a fearless champion of the race. The firm of Townsend and Rose is to be commended for the successful handling of such cases which guarantee to all men the rights of American citizen. MAKING GOOD.

Write us for Prices In my last letter I told you I would tell about something that reminded me of something. Well, the other day I was thinking of the time I was a school boy. Most men you read about went to a little red school house, but the school I went to was a brown one. We raised our own wheat and had it ground at a little country mill which did not always mace the finest kind of flour, and as a result our bread was not as white and light as it is today. To make my lunch for school as nice as possible mother always put in a piece each of pie and cake. I would start out and about the time I reached the little bridge over the creek would dig into my dinner bucket for the pie, and when recess came I generally devoured the cake, so when noon came and the other scholars were eating their good things, I had to be content with dark colored bread. Now, all this reminds me of people who in their younger days spend all they make and think only of having a good time, their money goes for things they really don't need; the needy time in the future is never given a thought, so that when old age comes, when they really need and ought to have the luxuries of life, they have to be content with the bare necessities.

God made the rich and he made the poor, Yet [ never could quite understand Why the path of one He strewed with flowers, And the path of the ather with sand, Why is it that to some He gives Joy, peace and riches rare, While others live from day to day In a life thatis filled with care? For some this carth is a paradise, And they live in a long sweet dream; For others this life is an ocean deep, Their toil ts against the stream.

Continued from Page 1. and hundred and finally it became so that standing room was scarcely available. The revival was held at Trinity church three weeks and every effort was put forth to make it pleasant for all who attended R.v. A. J. Williams and his faithful wife have led exemplary lives since coming in our midst. He is earnest and zealous and the good of the church is ever before him. He is one of the greatest men for clearing debts we have ever had. Though he has not completed his first conference year, he has much to fluen M. H. EVANGELIST J. P. HOWAUD. and is well known all over town for his instruction sermons Every department of Trinity chapel has been organized and presd forward. The Sunday School, led by Rev J A. Hult, one of the most active members in the church, is the pastor's delight. He has a class and is ever present and says that the Sunday School a one to give more for benevolence this year than the entire church has given in the past. Class meetings are held in the afternoon, prayer meetings on Wednesday evenings and the Ladies' Aid on Monday afternoons stronger than it has ever been. Another prime factor of the How ard revival was Rev C W Newton, JOHN H. HARRIS RFV A J. WILLIAMS. Pastor Trinity Chapel, M E, Church pastor of Handy A. M. E. curh who is beginning his second confer ence year. He is well read, has travelled extensively in this country and South America, and speaks two languages fluently. The church has grown in every department since he took charge. He is his wh leavel in the work and always succeeds. He puts great stress on the beautifying of the church, has an excellent choir and one can always hear a good, clean, intelligent sermon from his pulpit. The Sunday School, under Mrs John Jackson, has increased from an average attendance of ten to thirty-five or forty. The pastor works with nurturing energy in this department and endeavors to elevate the standard of the study period as to increase attendance. At the completion of his first year's work a reception was given in his honor and a purse of $35 was presented him by his many friends-a thing J. REV. A. W NEWTON. Faistor Husty A M. E. Church. unheard of in the work of the churce. A remarkable feature of this church is the fact that the pastor was the only male member prior to the Howard revival, the membership consisting of forty women, about half of whom were really active. But the pastor has nursed the church to noble manhood, and it has given us so many good things recently that we have grown to expect them from it. It was beautiful to see these two pastors working so harmoniously, in this great battle against Stein. In union with the white ministers of the city, they planned the campaign and secured the evangelical services. Mr. L. M. Clark, one of the trustees of Trinity chapel, divided the town into districts and appointed leaders to hold prayer meetings in every home in the city. Rev. Howard then came, having just closed a great revival in Kana a City. He found prospects anything but bright, but was patient and trustful as he earnestly labored, and well may it be said that his four weeks' work was well worth the salary of $400. He was instrumental in gaining 104 souls, also a spirit of love and union came over the people The amount of $14822 was contributed for the home pastors; $38,24 for expenses of the meeting, a tree will offering of $18624 In the number of 104 converts we find some of the most prominent and influential men in our city, and we praise God for the love and harmony established in the homes by the cottage prayer meetings and by the sermons and songs. The white ministers who aided us during the revival were Rev. W. A. Sunday, the evangelist, Rev. Neff of the First Methodist church, Rev. Cleveland, Presbyterian church, Rev. Walters, First Chris ian church and Rev. G C. Parker, Congregational church The revival closed with a farewell shower party to the evangelist and music was furnished by the Curtis band. Toasts and responses were given as follows: Our Evangelist Prof. Green Response Rev. Howard Our Bishop Miss Fuell Response Bishop Grant Our New Converter Rev Curtis Dr. Williams, toast master. Rev Howard was unable to carry the tokens of love and appreciation given him and all departed with a spirit of fell wship long to be remembered in Joplin. The M. I. church has not held baptismal services since the revival Rev. Newton delivered a most intelligent baptismal sermon last Sunday and the services were indeed pretty. As the converts, robed in white, knelt at the altar, a gorgeous ray of sunshine flooded in upon them just a. the minister raised a beautiful be que of carvations and sprinkled their heads. God seemed to smile upon the act, and we feel that he will come to smile upon our city We ask prayers of all for our con-erts, ministers and evangelists. Kansas City, Kas., Politics.
