Stewart will be pained to hear of his death which occurred in Denver last week. Mr. Stewart was well known throughout the state having at one time been a prosperous attorney of this city. He was very aggressive, firm in his convictions and a bold defender of race. In the death of Mr. Stewart Colorado loses a splendid citizen and the Negro race one of its truest and best men. FIRST AFRICAN The dedicatory services, held at eleven a. m. Tuesday drew a large congregation of members and friends who received the sermon deliv red by Rev. C. H. Parrish with intense interest. At three p. m. the Shiloh clo'r furnihed music and Rev. Fishback preached. The feeling of unity between the sister churches made the occasion a happy one. Rev. C. H. Parrish, who has been in the city the past week for the purpose of assisting in the opening services and entertainments of the new auditorium, resides in Louisville, Ky., where for twenty-five years he has pastored the Calvary Baptist church. He is chairman of the Foreign Mission board of the National Baptist convention. He is also president of an institution for the training of colored youth. He is an interesting, forceful speaker, has traveled much and is well informed upon matters of interest to the Baptist denomination as well upon subjects which concern the Negro race and which are calculated to make for its benefit. In 1901, he visited Palestine, while a delegate to the International Sunday School convention. His lectures which have been the principal feature of the week's entertainments, were relative to this trip. He gave a great deal of information concerning the people of that part of the world, costumes worn by them were exhibited and picture of himself taken while standing in the River Jordan at the point where Christ was baptized was also shown. "Bachelor Boys" Party. One of the swellest events that ever happened in Topeka was the "Bachelor Boys'" Easter party at Metropolitan Hall, Thursday evening of last week. The spacious hall was artistically decorated with red and white flowers intermingled with asparagus. At the entrance was an arch—a horse shoe design and in the center of the hall was an harbor of roses draped from six large posts. In fact the hall was a flower garden. The sweet strains of the orchestra pealed forth from a cluster of palms. Promptly at 9 o'clock the grand march was played and from that time on beautifully dressed women and gallant men enjoyed themselves till the woe hours of the morning. One of the prettiest features of the evening was the "Bachelor's Dream:" The lights were extinguished and each lady was presented with several sticks of Chinese punk which was lighted and very prettily arranged in their hair. A spot light was then turned on which gave the room a beautiful appearance. This was the Bachelor Boys' first party and Messrs. Patton Smith the genial president and Carl Hurrius, secretary of the club are responsible for the magnificent success of the affair, and it is hoped by all present that the "Bachelor" will entertain again.

There was nothing especially interesting until after we passed Denver. Upon climbing the mountain from Der. or to Cheyenne there was some very interesting scenery. We left Cheyenne behind two of the largest compound engines ever built for a railroad company. At Laramie we took the sleeper and woke up the next morning in a blinding snow storm. Of course we could not see the snow-capped mountains from the time we left Denver until now, but after riding in this snow storm for tour or five hours, we struck a warmer climate. So Thursday afternoon and all day Friday we traveled in sunshine, flowers and green trees. We headed in on the Columbia River about sunrise Friday morning; this river heads away up in the Cascade mountains and flows west to the Sound. We followed this river all day and the greater part of the time through a dense pine forest, saw mills and lumber yards. Arriving at Portland at 3:45 p. m. and remained until 11.45 p. m. when we left for Seattle, arriving there at 7:30 a. m. Saturday. We have not learned much about Seattle yet, only that it is a great big, busy place. Have ever several large U. S. boats. Mrs. Mary King officers her grocer y stock, building and lots at 615 E.

Base Ball at Kansas City. The Kansas, City, Royal Giants opened their practise season last Sunday afternoon at Shelley Park, Independence Avenue, and Oak St before a large and enthu-lastic crowd. The Chicago Outlaws more than gave them a run for their money, the final score being 6 to 5 in favor of the Royals. On form the Royals up show very strong and from indications they will be heard and will show much class before the season is far gone. Jack Johnson, manager has practically a new bunch from last season, but states that he will have a winner. A good deal can be depended upon what he says, he has the experience and always shown superiority when it comes to base ball. Shelley Park is being remodeled and will have a seating capacity for four thousand persons. The diamond is being raised, will be pretty and in great shape, also the fence will be moved back which will enlarge the playing field. This will all be complete by April the 16th at which time the real opening of the grounds will take place including the 17th. The line up is Pullism and Mekling, Chas Childs, Lee, Potter, and Buckley, P. Smith Ist, Johnson 2nd, Strothers 3rd, Toney, S. S. Sterman, L. F Milliner, C. F. Daugherity rf. On next Sunday April 3rd the Royals meet the Schmelzers of the City League at Shelley Park, game called at 3:15 SPRINGFIELD, MO The entertainment given by the U. B. I.'s at Gibson chapel last Friday evening was excellent in every particular. The Address delivered by Prof. Hubbard, of Sedalia was an able one, and well received. The lecture delivered by Mrs. Carter at the African Methodist Episcopal church was an impressive one and will be long remembered. U. R. Smith left Tuesday night to attend the Methodist Episcopal conference at Kansas City and be with his parents, Rev. Smith and wife whom he has not seen for two years. Mrs. Pearl Thompson, who has been all for some time and receiving the kind care of Mrs. Mayme Hardrick, has been removed to her home on Saint Louis street since here mother is left to care for her.

One of the brilliant affairs of the season was the birthday reception in honor of Mrs. A. Brookins, and Misses Grace Williams and Sadie Boalware, given by Mesdames Byrd, Williams, and Boalware, assisted by Miss Della Parker and A. Wayman Ward. The affair was planned in secret, and when the guests returned from a short visit, they found the residence of rMs. Byrd in semi-darkness. As they entered the house was flooded with light, thus revealing the hundred or more invited guests. The pleasant time lasted well into the night. Many were the beautiful presents received. Death has come to claim two of Denver's most prominent citizens in the persons of Police officer Isaac Gillmore, and the Hon. J. H. Stewart.

Once he was an attorney in Topeka. A surprise party was ten level Miss Hattie Muloney on Tuesday prior to her departure for Omaha on Wednesday.

I. JAMISON. Atty. for Plaintiff. Attest: R. L. Thomas, Clerk, District Court. (First Published, Apr. 8, 1910.) MR. JAMES E. BROWN VS. MARY JONES. So long as there are two sides to every question it is fair to allow each side to be turned inside out or outside in for inspection or speculation. Supposing from the off-start that Mr. James E. Brown had stopped school before he had finished the higher branches; he could not have filled the position he now occupies. When the position was offered to him he would have been forced Oklahoma Subscribers Take Notice It has been sometime since our collector has called on you and during the next few weeks both the Editor and Manager of THE PLAINDEALER will visit every town in the state. Kindly be ready to settle your account as they are likely to call on you any time. Lay aside a little change to take care of this matter. to turn down the opportunity from fact of incompetency. Mary Jones, with a education (so said), is working out as a domestic at the wages of $4.50 a wock (may God 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. E. 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 school under such opposition as said Mary Jones needs watching, that is if all the teachers in Lincoln High School have presented a view so pessimistic as one of her teachers. No wonder only Mary Jones finished out of a class of 40; no wonder the Negro takes to idleness and crime when the picture drawn of his future by his teachers is so dark and hopeless. For the last 15 years I have traveled over a good portion of the United States and from observation and experience the future 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. Brown'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 00 per cent of them are white, all over the North (notwithstanding the fact that boot blacking is a low and humble job). We will then look to the fast vanishing Negro 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 (if such was intended by Prof. Brown for his race). For example—on the corner in view of my place of business there is a little store room 8x10 feet. A Negro got the job to paint it. While so doing, th occupant was visited by a committee asking for reasons why he allowed a scab to do the work. They did not first ask the Negro if he belonged to the union. The painter's face alone told that he was a scab from the fact that the unions bar Negroes. Therefore, baring their work in all lines of manual training in the northern part of the United States. I ask what Mary Jones and her classmates got to do so long as such conditions confront the Negroes! Let he or she educate themselves and be prepared to do the high or the low work whichever comes 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 wait 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 ```markdown ``` 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 as yet, killing hundreds of innocent people, in orde rto rob a few, nor has he assassinated the ruler of his country or mobbed a white man. Since the beginning of the world there has been crime; the Negroe cannot be expected an insane from this apparent preordained weakness. The Negro is filling thousands of good positions of trust and ability. He is running thousands of places with lucrative business. What he is most in need of is race confidence and clannishness. With these two requisites the demand for Negroes with higher education will be greater than the supply. For instance—here in the two Kansas Citys are 40,000 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 shoe stores (as I n the South)—these alone would make it impossible for Lincoln High School to graduate boys and girls enough to fill these positions. With faith and clannishness 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 alone and visiting the schools of the Negroe race I find that we could use one hundred or more high educated man and women to fill the positions as teachers that are now filled by inferior ones. If you ask me why these inferior teachers are so employed, I will answer as follows: The requisites to be a teacher in a Negroe school are a little education, red tape and political pull. With these an inferior Negroe can be retained by the white school board to teach the Negroe youth, few of them having 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 more 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 educated Negroes? I don't think it will average one in a hundred. The Pullman Car Company is said to employ more Negroes than any other company in the world. 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. The same is true of train porters. It will be found on investigation (where the Negroe is competent) that often the Negroe porter is forced or asked by the conductor to make out train reports and give information. A duty that will require a little more than spelling and adding. High education sharpens one's thinking faculties and makes him more competent to perform these many duties than those who stopped shorter than the learning received by the said Mary Jones. It should be a time by the law for any child raised 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 erected, 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 more than it does to educate the white. 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. F. Brown to have his present position, and many thousand more, and the same law may be helpful to said Mary Jones and might have been advantageous to those of her classmates had they finished. Let it be remembered that an educated man can plough a straightter furrow and the educated woman can make a better loaf of bread. This being the fact, the Negro should educate himself as high as it is possible in order that he may be equal for all opportunities. To day is not tomorrow. So let us hope and do our best as it is better to die with a bright picture on the wall the last of our earthly dreams than to die despondent from the fact that you have had your future so darkly outlined.
