EKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XII ATCHISON NEGROES FOR INGHAM Refuse to Support Republican Who Served as Deputy Under a Democrat. We copped over at Atchison Tuesday and found considerable excitement in the Republican ranks over who should be the new postmaster and who is best to name at the primaries in August for treasurer of Atchison county. The rivals for treasurer are W. V. Ingham and Ernest Underwood. W. V. Ingham was born and raised in the state of Iowa; came to Kansas in 1887, graduated from Campbell college in '91 and from K. U. in '97 He has since been an active druggist. Mr. Ingham THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN W. V. INGHAM. came to Atthison eight years ago and purchased the George Barton drug store, 733 Commercial street, where he is still in business. The colored voters are dum-founded at Mr. Underwood asking them to elect him as a Republican to the office of treasurer. They say he is the most illogical or "out of place" candidate in the field. They want to vote for a true Republican and say they have sense enough to know that "to the victors belong the spoils" and that any man who accepts a position as deputy treasurer two terms from a Democratic treasurer he is getting and has gotten Democratic spoils. That Ernest Klostermeier, a nice man, but a full blooded Democrat, would not have appointed Underwood, a Republican under him unless he got his political support. Two Republicans who were candidates for treasurer were defeated by Underwood's assistance and now he comes back to the party and says give me the office Republicans for my Democratic boss will soon be retired. Thinking colored men are shocked. They remember how they have been coaxed into "stay by the ticket boys" and they think a white man is no worse than any of them could be when he jumps the ticket. Not only colored voters but we find many white Republicans who are saying that if Underwood can jump the ticket or any part of it and then run back and get the Republican party vote for an office, there is no encouragement for being a true Republican. He has cast his lot with Klottermeier and should go out of office with him. W. V. Ingham, has been a life long Republican and the colored TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1910. men we met spoke with pride of Mr. Ingham's fairness and friendliness to them. When they or their families were suffering from high fevers and cutting pain and not a penny in their homes, they have always gotten their medicines or prescriptions filled. Help a man when he is down and he won't forget you when he is up. Some efforts have been made to split the colored vote on these candidates but when the time comes Mr. Iggham will get the solid vote. We are glad to see the leading white man's paper also thinking Mr. Ingham is the right man for the office of treasurer of Atchieon county. Colored Doctor Makes Good Atchison Globe: "There is an unusual situation in Atchison: A colored physician has a large practice, and more than half that practice is among the white people. Dr. W. H. Hudson, colored, has been practicing in Atchison since December, 1888, coming here the year after he graduated from Meharry Medical college, located in Nashville, Tenn., his birthplace. His practice for some years was entirely among the colored, when the discovery was made that he knew more about rheumatism than the average doctor, and, as many of us intemperate eaters have it, his practice at once grew with leaps and bounds. There are eight white folks who have rheumatism to one of the Negro race, tuberculosis being the great scourge of the Negroes, and word having spread among the white folks of Dr. Hudson's remarkable cures, the sufferers throw aside their prejudices, and sent for him. Having cured that ailment, it was natural that he should be called for other ailments. He had the confidence of the family, and they showed it by making him their family physician. The remarkable feature of Dr. Hudson's cures is that he is never sent for when rheumatism is first manifested; The average white man will suffer untold misery. He will try osteopaths, doctors of the old and new school, electric JOHN H. HARRIS baths, mud baths, the springs, patent medicines, Christian Science, Higher Thought and porus plasters before he will abandon prejudice and send for a colored man to heal him. Dr. Hudson is aware of this feeling, and laughs at it. On one occasion a man came to him, and said: 'I have tried everything but you and Hot Springs. Which Vote for Green and Prosperity! A Vote for Billard Means the Retirement of Blacks from Public Work. We believe the colored voters have long since learned to stand by their friends; especially those who give them employment and otherwise assist them in the struggle for a foothold in life. That Mayor Green is such a friend is a fact well known to almost every man, woman and child of color in the city, and to turn him down for someone who has never proven such friendship would be all but suicide. The question to be settled on April 5th is whether the magnificent business administration of Mayor Green shall be continued or throw the city back several years by experimenting with J. B Billard, a man who has never shown the least inclination toward assisting in building a greater Topeka unless he could be directly benefitted. We have never known him to take stock in or boost any enterprise that had for its object the welfare and advancement of all the people. Why should the colored people support Billard? He has never assisted them in anyway, and when he has employment to give out he looks otherwise, hence we cannot see where the colored people are indebted to him or would be benefitted in the least by his election. His disposition in the past toward giving them employment is an open declaration that there will be but very few if any colored men on the city's pay roll. Mayor Green is no experiment. He has been tried out thoroughly and the prosperous condition of the city is a splendid testimonial to his true worth. Under his guidance we are seeing a greater Topeka; a city whose moral astomphere and sensible methods of doing business is bringing capital and investors who otherwise would have passed us up. Mayor Green is exceedingly kind to the colored people. He has placed more colored men on the city's pay roll than any of his predecessors and we would hato to believe that they would be so ungrateful as to forget him on April 5th. He stands for Christianity and a square deal for all regardless of creed color or previous condition. The rank and file of the colored people believe in law, order and decency nor will they assist by their votes in placing the reigns of the city government into the hands of one who would divert from such a course. It is a well known fact that Billard is banked by the "wets" and that jointists, crap shooters and other law breakers are being promised daily by Billard workers that things will "loosen up" if he is elected. Let every colored man and woman awake to their duty and stand up for decency and morality by voting for Wiillam Green for mayor. shall I try first?' 'Go to Hot Springs,' replied the physician; the patient went, and in four weeks he was back in town under Dr. Hudson's care. Of 100 stubborn cases Dr. Hudson has had recently, he cured all but seven, which is not a bad showing by any means. He had one man who had been bed fast ten years and made him able to walk to his office nineteen days after he took the case. A woman patient was believed to be on her deathbed, and the priest had ad ministered the last sacrament, when some member of the family sent for Dr. Hudson; within five days he had the disease under control, and the woman tells it broadcast that he saved her life. Dr. Hudson will not tell his remedy; he would be foolish if he did. But this much can be said; He makes a study of the temperment of the patient, hold ing that no treatment will act on two alike, and studies his medical books till midnight, and, while he has had no intention of specializing in rheumatism, his success with that complaint has made him a rheumatism specialist. His practice is growing steadily, not only in Atchison, but he gets at the rate of a dozen new patients a week from out of town; so many that a number of white men, with money, are talking of organizing a stock company to put up a sanitarium, with Dr. Hudson at its head. There are so many rheumatics in this part of the country that it could easily be made to pay." Our Visit to Carrolton, Mo. We visited Carrollton, Mo. last week. Found the town in a healthy condition; business about as usual. The biggest harvest for two days was one man who had absolute control of the entire output of the whisky traffic. The other saloons could not open until the time expired for the action upon the peti- NUMBER 13 sion. The boys were awful thirsty. Train crews stopped to go up town to partake of elixir of life. We found the colored citizens working hard to save money for a rainy day. Of course a few young colored men had fallen out with work and were holding down the corners. Nearly all the colored people own their homes and have paid for them, and everybody raises a few hogs and chickens. What is needed most is a good school building for colored people. Five teachers and 175 pupils are now crowded in a dilapidated old building. Former Captain A. M. Wilson of the Twenty-third Katyas, is the principal. Mrs. Leota B. Fields, who teaches the primary grade, is said to be one of the best to be found anywhere. Mr. Fields is a good judge of horses and makes considerable money from the sale of them. Mrs. Fields is the daughter of Mr. Phillips, one of the best farmers in Shawnee county, who owns several hundred dollars worth of land and livestock. Rev. V. Page, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is farming forty acres of land; owns a team, hogs and chickens. David Clayton is still with the water works W. M. Clayton, who has a first-class clothes-cleaning establishment is doing fine. He stands well with the business men and the leading banker says that his word is good at the bank. One of the leading physicians is a colored man. He is just completing a $1,500 house. Let the colored people get together and ask the school board to take them out of the "rat's nest" school building. Give the children a decent place in which to attend school. Templars and Pythians at First Baptist Church The Easter sermon of Cyrene Commandery, No. 3, Knights Templar was held at three p.m. The day could not have been a more ideal one for the occasion, and promptly at the hour the Knights fled out of the asylum at 401 Kansas avenue, paraded the principal streets headed by Jackson's twenty-third Regimental band. It was an imposing sight. The dazzling new uniforms of the band and the rich costumes of the Templars made it one of the prettiest parades that marched down Kansas avenue. The sermon was preached by Presiding Elder J. K. Ransom of the Topeka district of the A. M. E. church. It was, beyond doubt, the ablest society sermon ever delivered in Topeka. It was a beautifully painted picture of Christian knighthood and left an impression that will be lasting. At eight p.m. the annual Thanksgiving services of the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe were held in this edifice. An address on "Pythianism" was delivered by Sir R. H. Wade. Sir H. I. Monroe was master of ceremonies. The sermon, a masterly one, was delivered by Rev. C G Fishback of the Shiloh Baptist church. Keep Topeka in the lead by supporting William Green for mayor. ! .

Bookor marks the end of a useful and honest citizen, and a prominent and industrious business man of the state. Mr. Booker came to this state from Marian, Ala., several years ago and settled at Weir, where he worked in the mines. Later he moved to Pittaburg, engaged a two story building and ran a hotel and cafe restaurant. He remained here a number of years and saved his earnings, and then later moved to Iola and engaged in a similar business and remained until about six months ago. He was compelled to give up his business on account of ill health. After traveling some considerable in the South and in Oklahoma, he moved to Des Moines, Ia., but after remaining there but a few months he was compelled to move to Kansas City, Kansas, on account of the severity of the climate; and on Wednesday last he departed this life for that country from which no traveller ever returns. He leaves a wife and child, an aged father and mother, three masters and three brothers. It is body was shipped to Fort Scott for burial. The funeral was under the auspices of Col G. Watkora Lock, N. 71, of Loth, reistered by Keystone No. 9, or Fort Scott. Rev J. F. Sage delivered the funeral service, and in ternment was made in the family lot in Evergreen cemetery.

BROWN VS MARY JONLS question it is not to be turned in until an inspection or sp Supplying from that that Mr James I. P. Brown had a school I fore he had finished the higher branch he could not have had position he now occupies. When the position was offered to him he would have been forced to turn down the opportunity from lack of incompetency Mary Jones, with a education (so said), is working out as a domestic at the wages of $150 a week (many girls bless her). Most girls, white or black, would have preferred idleness of shame rather than to have walked off a graduating rostrum to take a job as a domestic. If at any time there is an opening for a young lady with an education, Mary Jones will be able to fill that position. That is, if being a graduate from Lincoln High School means competence. While her classmates who dropped out before they had gone as far as Mary Jones would not be able to fill. Let those who are interested watch Mary Jones (if Prof. J. H. Brown will furnish us with her real name), and see what work she will be doing within the next five years. Any girl who has had the pluck and tenacity to finish a school under such a position as Mary Jones needs will all be interested in Lincoln Hill School have presented any work to one of her teachers. New work only Mary Jones is on a class of 10, no longer the N. to direct all elements and time when the picture drawn of her nature by his teachers is so dark and oppless For the last 15 years I have travelled over a good portion of the United States and from observation and experience the nature of the Negro is bright, though his oppositions are many. You press him down here, he comes up there; stronger from fact of the press. We should remember that the darkest hour is just before dawn and a calm comes after every storm. From what we infer from Prof. Town's Mary Jones Negroes are only to learn boot blacking, porters, kitchen work and barbers. If such is the fact, then let us see how far the Negro can go into this work look over the daily advertisements for help. How many white people ask for Negro cooks, house girls, or waitresses and now that the high toned white man is doing the washing and ironing a poor old Negro woman cannot make her daily bread by doing a little family bundle. Take a look in the door and see how many Negro Mary Jones are working there in this white man's wash room. Answer, please. Next let us see how many of Mary Jones race and classmates we find in the boot black parlor? I will say, from a fact, that 90 per cent of them are white, all over the North (notwithstanding the fact that most blacking is a low and humble job). We will then look to the fast vanishing Negroe barber. The fuzzy white man wanted that job so he joined the fraternal orders of his race and opened up a barber shop. With this went the Negroes most easy vocation. As to manual training, let us see how many Negroes might follow that line of such was inflicted by Prof. Brown for his treatment. In example on the corner in view there is little to do. While so many the work is carried by a comrade as soon as why he almed a sooth they did not fit and to many the work is all on the way. The sums the Negroes have in their work of training in the United States look well Mar. 1 with condemnation of the Negro let it be shedded at themseves not to prepare to do the high or the low work which we come to their hands. While waiting for the work to suit your education, take the humble position as Mary Jones has done, as all things come to those who wot and are prepared. The Negroe's dark cloud that hangs over Kansas City does not shut out the sunlight of hope over every part of the world. His criminal record is no greater in proportion than any other race, and the crimes that he commits are not any more atrocious. He has never wrecked a train yet, killing hundreds of innocent people, in order to rob a few, nor has he assisted the ruler of his country in and what man in the world there has been curse. Negroe cannot be spared an amputation in this apparent precarious veil. The New York and of g post it it running the it two business Wn of it it With the two I great honour the supply. For instance—here in Kansas City, are 100 Negroes. Suppose they had a department store one as large as any in Kansas City would be necessary), and a dozen or more grocery stores, four or five gents furnishings stores, the same of those stores (in the South)—those alone would make it impossible for Lincoln High School to graduate boys and girls enough to fill these positions. With faith and clamishness these places of business would thrive, and we would not be dependent upon the white man to furnish employment for our high educated Negroes. I have run a business for 12 years, and working night and day I find it most impossible to do all the work that comes to me. The greatest drawback I have to confront me every day is that I have not a high education. In going over the state of Missouri and visiting the schools of the Noyce town I find that we could use one hand to work with high school children and work with the police to teach them that crime is only by infraction. If you ask what the interest of others are employed, I have an answer as a teacher in Noyce and the education and law and political pull. With the inferior Noyce can be retained by the white school board to train the Noyce youth, few of them living really passed the third grade certificate. No white person posing themselves as a teacher would be permitted to teach any white school knowing so little. Once too we will call attention to the criminal record. Take Kansas City, for instance. How many of the Negroes who have committed crimes in the city were high school Negroes? I don't think it will average one in a hundred.

This company's record will show that their best men are those with high education, as many of the so-called porters must fill the capacity of conductor as well as porter.

High education sharpens one's thinking for all he needs and him in connection with those who oppose it than the learning received by the Mary Jones. It shall be a crime by the law for any trainee in the United States to have less education than that received by Mary Jones at Lincoln High School, for this amount of school experience is only a foundation upon which a structure is to be created, having for its architect a good college curriculum. Why it costs more to educate a Negro child than a white child! This is only true in states where there are separate schools, otherwise Prof. Brown's statement is not true. It is not the Negro's fault that it costs the county KANSAS CITY, KAS. FOR Tandy FOR Commissioner. BAYLER, Company---General ractors. KANSAS CITY, MO. CARS DAILY---16 Lc. Vernworth Image Solicited.

This additional expense is brought about from the fact that the white man prefers the additional expense in preference to allowing his boy or girl to be schooled in the same building with the Negroes. This state law of segregation made it possible for Prof. J.

O. J. BROOKS. Kansas City, Kans. --- THE SIN KILLING PREACHER IN JAIL. Rev. W. M. Smith, the erstwhile leader of the masses in Oklahoma, is back in the toils of the law. He was picked up again last night by the police and was fired this morning. He was started out on the streets this morning with one of the push carts and a troon, and he presented a dignified aspect with his long stock coat and ministerial appearance. But the reverend was not there for long. He got sick and came back to the hotel in the basement of the city hall. He explained that he was used to sweeping, but that it was the streets of gold. It will be remembered that Rev. Smith was looked up a little over a week ago on a charge of being drunk. He had been collecting money to build a church in Delaware. Instead of building a church, however, he went to South Walnut and there met a ducky malden and some awful bad whiskey, the combination of which sent the man to fill broke. After he had soiled up the other day he was very repentant. He explained that he was sorry it had happened and was ashamed to see anybody. Finally, the police took pity upon him and let him go providing he would go back to Oklahoma. Smith said that he had a grief situation and that he was known as "an killing" Smith. He didn't want to bear the burden of his death. going home when he was stated up his form the arm- could find for it the running "snail killer" symptoms as a ing on his stomach and a dizzy head told that it was the effect of said that was just it and was the cause of He will probably be released again after a day or two, and this time will be escorted to the city limits by an officer and told to shave the dust of Coffeyville from his feet.

At a recent meeting of the Negro Men's League of Kansas City, Kansas, composed of representative taxpayers, the following address was drafted and endorsed as the sentiment of Negro citizenship by Negroes: Particularly in the light of recent events do we feel it opportunity and important that the Negroes of the community give a public expression of the \(^{1}\) a.

"We point with pride to our farmers artisans business and professional men throughout the nation; and, believe that education, Christianity, the accumulation of wealth, and our treatment is the key to the situation.
