TH KA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XII. COMMISSION CANDIDATES! All are Making Active Campaigns. Mr. P. I. Bonebrake has been asked to run for Commissioner, and he refused to be a candidate, but after the urgent appeal of many taxpayers he consented to run. He has been in Topeka and Shawnes county for half a century, and has always been identified with business enterprise that are a success. Mr J. J. Carter, who announces his candidacy for Commissioner, is a successful, careful and patetaking business man. He has lived in Topeka for 22 years and knows what is required to make the city prosper. Mr. Carter comes from the ranks of the laboring people, having worked many years for the street car company, and has a host of staunch friends among those who toil. He has proven his business ability by building up a magnificent grocery business at Twelfth and Kansas Avenue. J. B. Billard, one of the substantial business men of Topeka, has announced himself a candidate for Mayor. He has resided on the North side for years and owns the Billard Mills. He organized the Drainage Board and secured the diking of North Topeka which made that side immune from floods and up to that time people were almost giving away their property, but now the tide has changed. People are moving in and the price of property has advanced. Mr. Billard has enough unsold bonds on hand to dike halt of the town. Mr. E. F. Stanley, principal of the Quincy school is a candidate for commissioner of the city. He is a member of the city city council and has done good work. He is chairman of the judiciary committee, one of the most important; is also on the water and streets and walks committees. He has served in the council three years. He is a graduate of K. U. and has been teaching for the past twenty seven years. He resides in the second precinct of the sixth ward. His platform is good government with economy. The following is what Mr. Stanley stands for: My record in the city council is open to the public. I stand for sane and progressive legislation. For promptness in performance of duties, settlement of claims and controversies. Franchises are of value and the city is vitally concerned. Provisions of all contracts should be fulfilled. I stand for improvements in gas service, water service, flood protection, garbage system, lighting service, parks and playgrounds and street railway service. I am a Booster, not a Muck Raker. 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 TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. 4, 1910. 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. Rev. G D. Olden, who announces himself a candidate for Commissioner, has been a resident of the city for sixteen years, and was pastor of the First African Baptist church for a number of years. He formed an organization among his members for the purpose of saving money and by so doing many of accymulated neat little sums. Ten years ago he opened a land laundry at 100 East Third street with about four people. He now employee fourteen; mostly women who care from $1 50 to $2 per day. He has two delivery wagons and good teams. He has demonstrated to the citizens that he can conduct a successful business of his own, therefore ask their suffrage, and feels that he can perform the duties of the office he seeks. Rev. Olden says in his platform: "Belieding that 'taxation without representation' is unjust to my peo. 1930 ple, I offer myself as a candidate for City Commissioners. I have no policies; but if elected will do my duty as I see it, to the humblest as well as to the most prominent citizen." YALE. KANS. Mrs. Eatman is on the sick list this week.

Mr. Timothy Jackson and Mr. Samuel Galloway, our leading men are making quite a success in business. We are proud of such men and wish them much success in their undertaking. M. H. DR. BENJAMIN F. ALLEN. AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Manager Adolph Griffin, of The Plaindealer Calls on Dr. Allen. The Man Who is Making Lincoln Institute the "Hub" of Negro Education One can never realize the real pleasure of a visit to the capital of grand old Missouri without visiting Lincoln Institute and chatting with Dr. Benjamin Franklin Allen, and while in Jefferson City last week we had that pleasure. He is president of this institution and under his guidance it has become the educational "hub" of Negro schools of the great West. Dr. Allen is a tireless worker, and has the success of Lincoln Institute at heart. His keen eye is ever alert and nothing that will advance the school escapes him. He has made good and proven himself worthy in every way of the high honor that has been bestowed upon him, and if the board of regents does its duty and wants to see the institution continue its upward flight, it will elect him Dr. Allen has surrounded himself with a score of the brightest men and women of the race as teachers, and the many boys and girls that leave the institution yearly to take up life's rugged duties are living testimonials to their ability. The Kansas City Star in an editorial pays Dr. Allen and his school the following well deserved compliment: Persons who are disquieted over the race question will find much interest in the report recently published of B. F. Allen, president of the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, on the work of that school for Negroes. The spirit of the document is in line with the same ideas of the leaders of the race. "We are trying," Mr. Allen writes, "to develop in our students 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 the so-called 'race question.' " In other words the aim here expressed is to make the black man ambitious to be a first rate Negro, not to be a second rate white man with a dark skin. The idea is to develop the Negro race so that the "jim crow" system. "We stress the thought," Mr. Allen continues, "that in these modern days economic efficiency is as important as intellectual and moral efficiency; that the education of today demands that they be taught to do some form of work that has industrial and commercial value, and that to work with any degree of efficiency we must develop an enthusiasm for work and a capacity for a large amount of it. There is a deep, seated prejudice among Negroes that agriculture and kindred pursuits degrade them and that the education that educates lifts them above any work that has any remblance of hardness about it. At Lincoln Institute we aim to change these impressions." That is the work that needs to be done. Once let the Negro become an efficient workman everywhere, once let him establish his economic independence, and all other things shall be added unto him. Missouri is fortunate in having an institution that teaches such wholesome doctrine. — Kansas City Star. While in Jefferson City we were royally entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brosius, 324 E. Dunklin street. They are highly respected citizens and their accomplished daughter, Miss Parthenia, is a teacher in the public schools She is highly educated and one of the best teachers in the state. We visited the school, which is a credit to her ability as an educator. NUMBER 9 Mr. Swayze Talks of His Candidacy! "It is mighty easy for some to throw bouquets at themselves and set themselves up as the only self-made men when running for office," says Oscar K. Swayze, candidate for county clerk, "but I am not built that way. Just plain, unvarnished facts I have been taught are much more acceptable to the public. I give the dear public credit for knowing and if they don't know and are interested, they will inquire around before they hire a man. Just as they would in their private business. If he has lived up to his egotistical advance notices they will find it out. If he has not he can't hide it by slatheing on himself the dope meant to catch the unwary." As an aspirant for county clerk Swayze seeks promotion. He has done the work as deputy and his ambition to go higher is laudable. He is dead willing, for the ample salary offered, to devote his entire time to the duties of the office, and says a man who does his sworn duty has no time to devote to any other work, honorary or with pay. The county pays for full time and should demand it. Swayze's past services as deputy make him especially fitted for the office he seeks. He says he is in a position and has the desire if elected, to make the county clerk's office of greater value to the people. His knowledge of the work and the pride he took in the work when deputy cannot be disputed. He says he is deeply in earnest in his desire to make good his platform and deliver the goods. For Member School Board. Mr. A. V. Lindell has been forced in the race for member school board from the Fourthward. This is the platform the people asked him to stand upon. He is a young active banker full of business: "Equal education of everybody's children, and hours of school that will more nearly conform to the customs and ways of the common people." VINITA. OKLA. Mr. Idd Soffrel and Mrs. Dora Blackwell were visitors at Parsons, Kansas, Saturday returning the midnight. We are glad to report Miss Mollie Hawkins better and hope that she will soon be able to be out. The Rider Hotel has had quite a rush this week. Mr. H. F. Watson, who has been a littl indisposed, is feeling at his best again. Miss Clara Williams is listed with the sick this week. Mrs. Dora Blackwill and Mr. Robert Hubbard, both of this city, were married at the Ribler Hotel, Monday evening. Rev. Hawkins officiated; only immediate relatives and friends, about forty-one, attended. They received some very valuable presents. Refreshments consisting of two courses were served in the spacious dining room. They will be at home to their many friends at their beautiful home on South Adair St. Mrs. A. Mooney was hostess Tuesday for the Carnation Art Club. A delightful afternoon was spent. The Carnation si the leader of social clubs among the uppercrust. A two course luncheon was served at five o'clock by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. C. Williams. The next meeting will be with Mrs. C. Williams. We are pleased to learn through the columns of the Plaindealer where one of our young ladies in the person of Miss Corinne H. Allen, is an efficient member in the Plaindealer office. We wish for her success. e Bring Dow the high cost of living. 3--Big S Big Stores Specials every day. Go to any of them to buy cheap for cash. Owl G 1123 Kau 210 East 405 W.

Wassom, Lincoln Institute Jefferson City, Mo. So few parents take any interest in teaching or having their children taughs Art. It is because they have not been taught in this science themselves, and think it is of no use to their little ones! If so, let me disrobe their minds of such a thought and tell them it is one of the most important subjects of modern educational thought. The Greeks of old were the cleverest people of their day and all of their children were taught to draw. It is true these gifts are not always the inherited talent that succeeds. Faculties developed by hard work directed to a good purpose often brings success to their owners, thou does inherited talents. Drawing trains the young mind to observation as no other study can do. It provides an exercise for mind and memory and the teacher soon realizes that it gives back to the child the time it took to study it. It does this by making their memory more retentive; their observation more accurate. Parents make a great mistake by not starting their children while young. Youth is the time to give them a start and show them that you are anxious to assist them in making their lives profitable. Many mothers say, "I wou'd like my daughters to learn drawing and painting, but with all of their studies they have not the time."- Little do mothers think what a recreation they would be giving to the minds of their children. Parents do not realize that the proper study of drawing is a rest to the ordinary child. It is the most interesting form of mental play. It relieves any tendency to brain strain. Many artists who earn money in the profession of illustrating, took up drawing when they were anywhere from twelve to fifteen years of age. Many of the best illustrators of the United States are women making good salaries. Let the parents take more interest along this line of Art and see to it that their children are taught while young.

He is a maa of wondertul exsutive ability and if re-elected as a com- toissioner he will continue to keep Kansas City in she progressive chan pel of trade and commerce. Pri. maries March 28. .- ~~ wee Mr, John P, Clark, ovndidate for commissioner, 1s one of the city’s most progressive business men. He was boro in 1865 and lived in Kan- sastwoenty-onejears, He has always deen active in promoting the inter est of Kansas City aud has contri. buted much to her prosperity.

The primaries will be held March 23, Kansas City will shortly select the ive men whose duty it will be to put into effect the people's decreas fora commission form of govern- meut. This responsibility should aud must be carefully guarded and placed ia the hands of honest, broad. minded men of affairs, Whatever prejudice there has been felt against the system has been due to the fear to the fear that such nien could not be induced to accept the offices. It begins to look,} however, as if that fear was unfounded, as some very fioe men are sigailying their willing: Bess to serve, In tde person of Mr, Otto Ander- son, one of the moat successful bus- ness men of the town, whose fine eecord, both ja private and public is above reproach, He has announc- ed his candidacy and stated plainly the principtes by which he will be governed in the event of bis eloction; and we most say that they have the proper sound and we predict that he will receive the support of those who have a full appreciation of tne importance of selecting the be-t men to inaugurate the new form of g2v- ernment. Mr. Andorsou. by virtue of having a wellestablished business, can af- ford to give the city more time and better service than some oe could whose bread aod butter depended on his daily effort, ana we believe he je a proper person for the place. A man who makes a euccess ot his own business js the an who can be trusted with the affairs ot the people, avd with his eplendid executive ability, both commercially and fi- nancially, guarantee that be fs the proper man to manage the affairs of this prosperous municipality.

Brewed and Bottled by the Write us for Price Kansas City, Missouri. Write us for Prices HIRAM BAKER'S Los Angeles, Cal., June 5 1904 Dear Henry: 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 place 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 spent 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 because 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, STATE SAVINGS BANK. G20 Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kans. Savings deposits of $r and over our specialty.
