Historical Social State House WHO WILL BE CITY COMMISSIONERS? All 'Entries Have Been Made and the Campaign is Growing Hot---A Peep at some of the Worthy Candidates. Mr. J. L. Pugh, who resides at 1621 Harrison street, fifth ward, announces himself a candidate for commissioner of the city of Topeka. He was born on a farm in Kentucky, and has lived in Kansas thirty-two years. He was clerk of the court in Ashland for several years. After removing to Topeka he was employed by the Mutual Ice company five years and is now with the Prudential Insurance company. He is an upright, conscientious business man, and promises if elected to give his entire time to the office. Of his nine years' residence in Topeka none can say aught against him. His slogan is Perhaps I may not be your choice. But if, perchance it do; When in the booth to cast your vote. Just make your X for Fash. Mr. H. P. Miller, councilman from the second ward, announces himself a candidate for city commissioner. He has served in the council two years, as chairman of the water works committee, member of the streets and walks committee, ways and means and firemen's committees. He has lived in Topeka twenty seven years of his forty-one on earth. He stands high with the people. By profession he is a tonsorial artist, having a shop at 502 East Fifth street. He was president president of the National Barbers' association one term. Bickness prevented his further service in that position. He has served the city in the engineering department for fifteen months. He is a man who walks with the la boring element. Mr. S W. Sunday, who announces himself a candidate for city commissioner, subject to the primaries, March 28, resides at 323 E. Tenth street in the third ward. He is one of Topeka's substantial business men. He is running on a special platform — Better water for Topeka. He says he can't get clear, pure water anywhere along the river without flood interference. He is a practical expert on procuring water and water systems, having contracted and built water works for the Santa Fe from Chicago to El Paso, Texas, also for the Rock Island system. He makes a specialty of this. He will devote his entire time to the service of Topeka if elected. He is a Pennsylvanian by birth, came to Kansas in 1885 and to Topeka in 1896. He has a strong force of business and laboring men back of him, Mr. F. O. Bowen, one of Topeka's best posted men on real estate and other business, is a candidate for city commissioner, subject to the primaries on the 28th of March, has lived in Topeka forty one years and knows her needs as well as any man living. He has served as city assessor three different times, also has served as county treasurer two terms and always worked both classes of people in his office. He is for good work for good pay, a rigid inspection TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 25, 1918. of plumbing, water, gas and electric wiring, as four fifths of the fires originate from defective wiring. He will devote all of his time to the duties of the office. He knows every inch of property in Iupoka, and is well informed as to what is best for the city and her growth Mr. Walter, J. Arnold is among the many who want to serve the people as City Commissioner. He has been a resident of Topeka for twenty-five years and is familiar with every need that will contribute to 'Topeka's prosperity and stimulate deeper interest in securing more manufacturing concern. It takes men of this class to make a success of the new form of municipal government, and it behoves every voter to see that the man for whom he votes possesses these most necessary qualifications—all of which Mr. Arnold's friends claim for him. It can be truthfully said that none are more thoroughly equipped to assume this grave responsibility than Mr. Arnold. He JOHN H. HARRIS MR. WALTER J. ARNOLD is a young man, full of get-up and get and has had years of experience in municipal engineering and public works. He has served the city for six years—four years as office man and two years as assistant to Engineer Rogers, and he made good in every place he served. Mr. Arnold promises if elected to devote his entire time toward making Topeka a greater city. Mr. Arnold is indorsed by some the best men and women in the city among whom are Profs. John L. Harrison, E. Ridley D. D. Hope, John S. Chiles, Victor Washington, Rev. B. O. Duke and Meadames P. Mason, Mariah Bradford, O. Bell, Nannie Brown, Ida M. Scott and hundreds of others. We are glad to announce that Judge George A. Huron is a candidate for commissioner in the coming election, subject to the city primary to be held March 28, next. Judge Huron has lived among us twenty-seven years and in that time has proven that he is always in favor of the things that are best for Topeka, and consequently in favor of the things that are best for every man, woman and child in Topeka. He is a man abundantly able to look after the best interests of Topeka and to do the things that will bring the greatest good to the greatest number of our citizens. He should have the cordial support of all our readers. It elected he will give all of his time to the duties of the office. In our judgment twenty four hours will be too short for the work of the commiss. oners on some of the days. Mr. M. C. Holman, one of the most substantial business men of the North Side, is a candidate for commissioner of the city of Topeka. He has resided on the North Side for years, assisted in building that side up when it was farm land; has done much for the upbuilding of her citizens. His heart and soul are interested in the welfare of Topeka. He was instrumental in bringing to Topeka a number of business enterprises. Mr. Holman is an upright, honorable Christian gentleman, full of vim and push. He will work for Topeka and her prosperity if elected. Negro Sues for His Rights Because twenty.eight Cherokee farmers realding northwest of Baxter Springs are alleged to have attended a mass meeting on December 23, 1909, at the school house in District No. 68, and protested against his moving into the neighborhood and his childern associating with white pupils at school, W. A. Johnson, a Negro farmer, filed a suit for $21,000 damages against them in the Galena division of the district cort today. The defendants named are all leading farmers in the community. Johnson in his petition alleges that during 1909 he rented 100 acres of W. N. Stowell and prepared to move early ni 1910 by purchasing a large amount of supplies. He alleges that the action of the defendants m de Stowell abrogate his contract, and charged that their action is in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution. Down South With Bishop Grant! Elder Ransom Writes Entertainingly of Old Mississippi. On Monday, the 7th, Bishop A. Grant, D. D., W. H. Peck, D. D. and the writer, boarded the Frisco train for Vicksburg, Miss., to be present at the Bishop's council. We were shown to our drawing room, and though Bishop Grant was indisposed and said that we would have to do the entertaining, and be the listening, yet it was not long before the good bishop had us both spell bound while he was imparting knowledge to us by the way. About ten p. m. we retired to rest and was soon dead to the world. When we awoke the next morning we found ourselves in the state of Arkansas, nearing Memphis, Tenn., which place we reached at 8:30 a.m. We were met by Bishops H. B. Parks and Evans Tyree and that prince of preachers and pastors, Rev. R. A. Adams of the Avery chapel, who had not only arranged a special car for our accommodation but he and his good women had prepared for us one of those splendid Southern breakfasts, and we need not tell you more, for you know the rest. We left Memphis at 9:30 a.m. with Bishops Grant, Parks, Tyree. Shaffer, Derrick and Revs. R. A. Adams, J. Caldwell, W. A. Lewis, W. H. Peok, Prof. R. H. Keelling, Dr. Mallis of Pittsburg, Fa. and the writer, and we found ourselves the charges of a very pleasant conductor and train porter, with a Negro fireman making the steam that was caring us through the most beautiful country I ever saw—the Mississippi Delta--and it looked on each side of the track as if we were just running through one continuous village and only now and then would you see a white man's house or face only as you would come into cities and towns, all were my people, and they were picking cotton, breaking stocks and beating up cotton ground to plant more. At every station along the line the platform reminded one of an excursion. Both whites and blacks were as thick as hope. I was born and reared in the South but I had never seen comparatively speaking, any Negroes before. There are said to be four Negroes to every white person in Mississippi. You ask if they are jim crowed; yes, and you would not be surprised. But in many respects it is a blessing to our people. If only the law would separate the classes, for some of those people, like a few whom we have in the North, have no manners, are half clad, loud-mouthed, yelling and cursing, smoking and chewing, dipping snuff and expectorating all over the floor of the car, raising the windows, yelling out at every station, carrying great sacks, bags and bundles with ropes and rags wrapped around them right in the cars with them. But after all they are not so much to blame for some of these things. Oh, here is a great opportunity for our professionals and leaders for some of the ministers told us that if a Negro preacher would preach to our people to be clean and orderly, industrious and to give an honest day's work for an honest dollar and to pay their debts, no matter how much emotional religion or preaching in addition to that the white people would not only go to hear such a colored preacher themselves, but would pay his salary. I thought I saw the solution of the Negro problem and the place where it must be marked out (the South,) for there is a class of Negroes in the South that is marking it out. We reached Vicksburg at Tuesday at five p. m. and were located with Dr. Peck in the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs. Mr Gibbs has been running a hack line there for more than forty years, and has got bold of some of this world's goods as well as some of Jesus. This was in many respects the greatest gathering of Negroes that ever met in the state of M. Mississippi, not only because it brought into the state some of the greatest men of our race and the A. M. E. church, from all parts of the United States, but it brought into that city some of the greatest Negroes of brain and money that Mississippi has. It was there that we saw the solution of the race problem, for there were so many farmers or planters, manufacturers, bankers and business men, saying nothing about ministers, doctors and professors. Bishop Grant was the guest of Mr. McAllister and wife. This gentleman is collector of customs for the state of Mississippi and the records show that he has handled more than $0,000,000 of business for our people the past year, to say nothing of the business of our peo which passed through the hands of the white man. There are two banks in Vicksburg, two in Greensville and one in Mount Bayou which have handled more money than most of the white banks in the state. Well, Dr. Peck and myself went on to New Orleans, La., and were furnished a nice day coach going, but when we started back we were ordered into a dirty, filthy car that stopped everywhere; but we refused to go in it, so they gave us a nice chair car back to Vicksburg, where we took sleepers to Memphis, Tenn. While in New Orleans we visited the colored K. P. building, a beautiful architectural development and mechanical construction. It is six stories high, the first floor being used for a cafe and smoker. The second floor is one of the most handsome opera rooms to be seen in that city. The third, fourth fifth and sixth stories are used for lodge rooms and offices, all of which are occupied. The Negroes of this state, however, are far behind the Negroes of Mississippi. In fact, Mississippi is the state for the colored man if he wishes to get rich. If the white people of the state will just modify the laws so that they will affect the classes rather than the races, I will take a colony of my people and go to Mississippi and raise corn, oats, alfalfa and potatoes, hogs, horses, mules and cattle, which would bring the packing houses south and save the expense of hauling the products such long distances and wou'd insure a crop of some kind every year. On our return to Memphis Dr. R. A. Adams met fourteen of us at the station, took us to his beautiful parsonage and fed us to our hearts' content. Long may he and his good wife and children live. J. R. RANSOM FIRST AFRICAN Rev W. R. Carter preached an impressive sermon Sunday at 11 a.m., using for a text "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." The Sewing circle will be entertained by Mrs. R. Cannon this week. Mrs. Cora Shields entertained the Chandelier club Tuesday evening at her home on Van Buren street. The Willing Workers held their meeting Tuc-day night at the residence of Mrs. Dora Skearce 409 E. First street. A good number were present and the results were quite satisfactory. The work of putting in the windows is in progress now and the beauty of the auditorium is shown to great advantage. In a few days it will be entirely complete, ready for the furniture. A Colored Santa Fe Pensioner! The Santa Fe has one colored man on its pension roll who draws 420 per month since last April. He is Mr. Emanuel Lawrence, 411 East First street, Topeka. He began work in 1878 for the company and and his record was clean from start to finish; he has never given the company a penny's worth of trouble in all of those years.

GOVERNOR DENVER of Illinois is to be congratulated also the sheriff of Cairo and his deputies for holding the mob at bay and killing the leader while protecting the prisoners in their charge. They are also to be congratulated for preventing the removal of the body of the leader of the mob which lay in front of the jail until the soldiers arrived. This had a wholesome effect upon the hoodlums. If all sheriffs and other officers would do their duty without fear these outrages of all kinds would cease. BISHOP GRANT has returned from the Bishop's council held at Vicksburg, Miss. He said it was the largest and most successful ever held. Colored people are doing well. Banks and business houses operated by colored people are springing up all over the state. The bishop is one of the most influential men of the race since the time of Fred Douglas. He stands high at the white house, plays no kitchen aids, but stands up like an American citizen demanding justice for all. He does not stop to look at his color when he meets a white man for fear he would become inferior. He is the only colored man we know of with whom the president consults. The Lord is surely good to us. He has caused the defeat of old Vardaman for U. S. senator from Mississippi, and has stricken down old Tillman. These two monsters have done more to retard the progress of the colored people than all the wars. Had they done as much to encourage the thrifty colored men as they did to hinder them, not only would they have been better off, but the Southern wen te man would have been farther ahead than he is to lay. Let us all thank God for his interference with these perpents of oppression in his own way. We have prayed long and often for something to happen, and now the reward has come. Now let the colored man get busy and take fresh courage, for all such white men as Tillman and Vardaman will soonor or later meet their just fate. Get farms, learn trades, save your mone , engage in business, shake the idle Negro. SELECT THE BEST MEN Kansas City will shortly sell of the five men whose duds it will be to put into effect the people's decree for a commission from a government. This resp is biblv and must be careful, guarded and placed in the hands of honest and minded men of a ars. Whatever prejudice there has been felt against the system has been due to the fear to the fear that such men could not be induced to accept the offices. It begins to look, however, as if that fear was unfounded, as some very fine men are signifying their willing reas to serve. Intle person of Mr Otto Ander- son, one of the most successful business men of the town, whose fine record, both in private and public is above reproach. He has announced his candidacy and stated plainly the principles by which he will be governed in the event of his election; and we must say that they have the proper sound and we predict that he will receive the support of those who have a full appreciation of the importance of selecting the best men to inaugurate the new form of government. Mr. Anderson, by virtue of having a well established business, can afford to give the city more time and better service than some one could whose bread and butter depended on his daily effort, and we believe he is a proper person for the place. A man who makes a success of his own business is the man who can be trusted with the affairs of the people, and with his splendid executive ability, both commercially and financially, guarantee that he is the proper man to manage the affairs of this prosperous municipality. Mr. Anderson is a man and always ready to assist and lend a helping hand in all matters for the public good. One of Kansas City's most progressive citizens announces himself as a candidate for commissioner under the new form of government to be inaugurated this spring.

After a shampoo or bath, the Magic dries the hair removing the dandruff; and it will straighten the curliest head of hair, giving it a natural fluffy appearance. Remember that the Magic never burns or injures the hair, because the comb is never heated direct. The steel heating bar alone is put into the flame of the heater, as shown below. DO not mistake this elegant toilet necessity for some of the cheaply made imitations. It is entirely different, as you will see by the pictures. The aluminum comb is easily detached from the steel bar, then after the bar is heated (as shown below) the comb goes back in place, the handle is turned and the Magic is ready for use.

Call on or Address the PLAINDEALER Topeka, Kansas 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 mae 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 place each of pie and cake. I would start out and about the time I reached the little bridge over the crack 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. That account of yours in the State Savings Bank is "pie," Henry. Don't use it now be bayse it looks good, or think you would enjoy spending it, but keep it growing until using it becomes really necessary. Then will be the time you will enjoy the fruits of your labor of today. Your loving father, Horeo fail not at your peril. W. I. JAMISON, Attorney for Plaintiff Attest R. L.
