TOPEKA PLAINDEALER BLACKS MAKING GOOD IN OKLAHOMA! The building is a large, multi-story structure with a flat roof and a series of windows. It is surrounded by a grassy area and a few trees. The building appears to be quite old, with a rustic appearance. T ' Oklahoma N BLACKS MAKE GOOD IN Many Have "Proved Faithful," Stuck Through the Hard Times and Accumulated Much Wealth--- The Schools, Colleges and Busine Enterprises are a Credit to Their Thrift and Energy. As we promised in last week's issue, we give further details of our trip through Oklahoma, mentioning more of our prominent men and their progress. Our first stop was in the Eastern district, known as the oil and gas country, an industry in which our people are mostly engaged. There is also good farm land to raise corn, alfalfa, hogs and the raising of general stock. There is considerable stock in this section but not as much as should be. In the Southern and Eastern part of Oklahoma the colored farmers devote much of their time to raising cotton and not enough to other products which would yield them a handeome income if they would diversify things by raising poultry, hogs, cattle, corn and cotton. This would insure success and independence at the end of the year, whereas they depend solely on their cotton crop and if it fails they are still indebted to the merchant. NOWATA At Nowata we found a number of progressive colored people, and a number of young, loafing colored sports who are no earthly benefit to the community or to the state in which they live. In this county the colored people own several thousand acres of land as well as producing oil wells. The Clinggetts, Bailey Bros, Wolf, Bennett and several others own a number of producing oil wells located about five miles out of Nowata, which we visited. Most all these people have good homes, barns and cattle. A few have provided private teachers for their children. It was an imposing sight to see the number of oil wells being systematically pumped for miles around, with oil flowing into the tanks. The oil lands owned by the colored people are valued at a quarter of a million dollars and are leased to the Standard Oil company from which a large royalty is received. Two of the young Chiggett ladies are said to be in menaly rich from their oil possessions They are CASA DE MEDICINA TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1910. pleasant, intelligent young ladies, very common in their manner and not at all pretentious. Mr. J. W. Anderson, who conducts a grocery and dry'goods store, is quite wealthy, owning several hundred acres of land and cattle. He came to Oklahoma a few years ago with a little money but full of vim and pride. His wife conducts a millinery store and hair dressing establishment. Mrs. Anderson is also correspondent for the PLAIN DEALER. All persons desiring any information may see her. We visited the school and met Prof Nelson Grubbs, principal, and his assistant, Miss Mary B. Whittaker. They have an excellent school and are doing good work. CLAREMORE. At this place we found a board ing and bath house conducted by Mr. E. Cobb, who is doing an excellent business. The Claremore hotel, conducted by Mrs. Anna Smith and daughter, and the grocery and confectionery conducted by her son, are the most progressive businesses in the town. Mrs. Smith is a widow, owns some very good property and is strictly a business woman. Mr. E. A Watson, who came to this town twelve years ago, owns property worth about $2,000 and has a first class coming house, and a tailor and barber shop. He is a wide awake progressive, industrious citizen and is highly respected by both races. Mr. William Moon, assisted by his wife, conducts a bath house and owns a nice bungalow. His business is the most successful of its kind in the state. Mr. and Mrs. Moon are strictly business and have the confidence of the prominent people of the town VINITA. Vinita is a very nice town and the colored people are now excited over the gold fever. Mosere. Finley and Watson have charge of gold mining land in New Mexico and are preparing to operate it. Mr. Finley conducts a successful barber shop and is one of the leading business men and citizens. Mr. P. I. Watson, who amate Mr. P. I. in the gold mine, owns a colliery in the town, taboring estate element and a large real estate office, owning a deal of farm land and properties Mr. W. Venters, section boss of the Katy, owns a large brick building which is rented and brings him good returns. The Ryder hotel is still conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Andy Ryder and its first class in every particular. It is a source of pleasure for any one to stop there They also own valuable city and farm land. Our old friend Joe Curry, steward of the Elks club, does not look a day older than he did in'65. He is still a bachellor and the women are wondering why he don't marry. Mr. J F. Davis, who conducts a first class barber shop and who looks like an athlete, owns good property and is a successful young business man. Mrs. T. H. Finley is our correspondent and agent and any news or subscriptions you may have for the paper give to her. Mr. N. D. Lyone, of Hayden, is our agent and correspondent at this town, owns a number of acres of farm land and he and his family have just returned from a visit to Portland where they were for more than a year. TULSA At Tulsa we found several colored people conducting a first class grocery, dry goods and merchandise store, hotel pool hall, barber shop. One Nickleodian conducted by Jesse Brown, formerly of Coffeyville, is a paying business. O W. Gurley conducts a grocery and hotel and owns a large brick building and other real estate J H. Hill, who has been here for only a few years, owns a two story brick building in which he conducts a first class dry goods and millinery store. He is assisted by his wife and they have excellent trade. J W. Williams, who conducts a successful grocery, is a prosperous and industrious young man and bids fair to be wealthy. W. II. West, formerly of Newkirk, conducts a first class restaurant and was one of the best to be seen in Oklahoma. He carries a full line of cigars and tobacco, also serves ice cream and soda water. He is a widower and is looking for a wife W. L. McKee, who has his office located in the business center of Tulsa, is a large real estate dealer and property owner. In this town we saw a good many two room shacks owned by colored people, with old quilts lining the wall and ceilings, old tin cans over the yards, a thy children, and anum ber touchy women with old and you p. We inferred from what we saw and were told that many of these people were from here. This state of affairs is demonstrably and does not a good example of industrious people. We are proud to mention that F Cleaver a member of the police and deputy sheriff who is said to be one of the best officers in that community. He served an U.S. marshal from 1893 until Oklahoma became a state. He is a brave and fearless officer and has more trouble with the tough element of his race than with the other races combined. There is a tough element in Tulsa which should be driven out and if the colored community of this town would give Officer Cleaver their support it could soon be done. There are located here two doctors and two lawyers, all of whom are meeting with success. Dr. Bridgewater owns a nice rest M. H. PRESIDENT B. F. ALLEN, Who was Elected President of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., to Another Three-year Term. He is the most popular president the school has ever had and is well liked by the people of Missouri as well as being qualified and competent for the position. He rendered the school invaluable service and the students are proud of him There was a great demonstration among the students and faculty when the news of Dr. Allen's re-election was announced. Whistler blew, cannons loomed, bells rang and hurrahs heard on every hand When Dr Allen returned to the school, he was met by the boys who unlatched the horses and pulled the buggy around the campus. A man of Dr. Allen's ability deserves every honor and courtesy shown him. dence and other good property. Dr Key is also the owner of some good property. TAFT Tait is a town composed of colored people with the exception of a repot agent and a banker. There is located here one drug store, one hotel, six successful mercantile stores and one bakery. The Tait News, a paper owned and edited by our old friend, Rev E. Johnson. If the colored people would give their support to this paper it would do much toward building up the town. J B Carver, the postmaster; is an active business man and is doing well. T. W. K. is the physician at enjoy a lucrative practice. Mr Fellist upr oper uer cer. The Industrial Institution for the Deaf, Blind and Orphans of the Colored Race and the man, Pert S. Douglas, Russell, its president, have put all the life there is in fault. The colored people of those states are proud of Mr Russell and have a right to be. He is the only colored man in this country who has used his politics to benefit the masses of the race as well as the individual. He was editor and owner of the Western Age, a paper published at Langston. He joined the Democratic party and used all his influence with that party. In the last election several of the party went to him and off red him money for his services, but he flatly refused, saying that he was working for a principle and to assist his race. After election he was asked what he desired and he replied that he wanted an institute for the NUMBER 19 Y, Who was Elected President of Union City, Mo., to Another Three- most popular president the school liked by the people of Missouri as a competent for the position. He able service and the students are a great demonstration among the news of Dr. Allen's re-election blew, cannons loomed, bells rang by hand. When Dr. Allen returned it by the boys who unlatched the day around the campus. A man of every honor and courtesy shown deaf, blind and orphans of his race. The state appropriated $35,000 and $6,500 was used to purchase 160 acres of land with a two story building which had been erected by some colored people for the purpose of establishing an industrial institute. Money was placed in the bank to Mr. Russell's credit and he gave his personal check for the property. We were proud of an opportunity to visit this institution. Prof. Russell conducted us through and allowed us the plans for the new building to be erected this summer and to be ready for use this fall. This large appropriation made at the session of the legislature in March, at the solicitation of Mr. Russell shows the confidence the people have in him. The school is located on the Middard valley, near town west of Miskogee and has twenty-four children and seven teachers Stephen II. Russell, the professor ten, has charge of the band and in also an electrician and civil engineer. How we can say that credit is Prof. Russell for installing a g'ting and heating plant at such an early date. It has been successful, ocrated by the son's x months. As soon as the new building is finished all kinds of trades will be taught the children There will be a laundry and sanitarium in collection with the school Prof. Russell is now stocking the farm with brood mare, cows and hogs Prof. Russell is a man in a class by himself. He cannot be interfere with by any Negro who may be jealous of the position he holds from the fact that he is identified with the Coninued on Page 8. . ```markdown ``` Political Announcements COUNTY I hereby announce myself a candidate for Sheriff of Shawnee, County, subject to Republican nomination.

I took about thirteen bottles, am in better health than I ever was, and have gained 14 pounds." MRS. LILLIE THOMAS, For many years Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy has been very successful in the treatment of heart troubles, because of its tonic effect upon the heart nerves and muscles. Even in severe cases of long standing it has frequently prolonged life for many years after doctors had given up all hope, as proven by thousands of letters we have received from grateful people.

FRIDAY, MAY, 13, 1910. TESTING OKLAHOMA JIM CROW LAWS. In conversation with Attorney General Jackson, who has just returned from Saint Paul, Minn, where he attended the United States court of appeals, he informed us that he met the colored attorneys of Oklahoma who were there to test the enabling act of Oklahoma on the Jim Crow car law. Mr. Jackson said he never heard a better or more convincing argument in any case than that presented by Attorneys Harrison, of Oklahoma City; Barbour, of El Reno and Tyler of Kingfisher. Mr Jackson said that there is no getting around it that they would win their case. He said there were about thirty colored ladies and gentlemen present who were dignified and intelligent. He conversed with several of the ablest lawyers of the country who were in attendance and they also said the arguments were fine—fully desecting the enabling act and the intention of the same which was written by Matt. S. Quay and says there should be no seperate laws except the schools. Quay having Indian blood in his veines, could not have been thinking of the Negro, but the Indian. Much credit is due these attorneys as well as Rev. W. H. Jernagin, a Baptist minister of Oklahoma City, who accompanied them. He is a minister that the race can tie to. These gentlemen have made good and deserve the plaudits of all people who believe in justice and fair play. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. EDITOR PLAINDEALER: I wish through your paper to call the attention of the members of the National Negro Business League the members of the various local Leagues throughout the country and also members of our race generally to the fact that the National Negro Business league will hold its next annual meeting in New York City on August 17, 18 and 19, 1910. The citizens of New York have already begun to make generous preparations for this gathering. These annual meetings in an increasing degree can be made of real service to our tree. They have several values: 1. Such meetings bring men and women together who are actually doing things They give a chance for personal acquaintance; a chance for one man to get information and encouragement from the other. 2. Such meetings afford an opportunity for other races to see what our people are accomplishing in the way of making progress. 3. These meetings give an opportunity for a vacation, or an The State Capital Location Some Good and Timely Advice to the People of the New State by the Oklahoma Democrat. outing, of a kind that every man owes to himself and his family once a year. 4. At the season of the year when the meeting will take place New York is likely to be a very attractive and comfortable spot, and especially is New York a fortunate place in which to meet because of the many importaat things that can be seen. Aside from the regular program of the League which is going to be an unusually strong and attractive one, we are planning to have eminent outside spsakers of the white race, and among them we are hoping to have former President Theodore Roosevelt. The New York committee is not only preparing to make this a great event so far as the League work is concerned, but to surround it with attractions and diversions in a social way that will greatly add to the value and interest of the meeting. I want to urge that our men not only be present in large numbers out in so far as they can that they bring their wives and other members of their families along with them. Now is the time for each one to begin to make preparations to attend the meeting. All of the advantages The enabling act of the State of Oklahoma passed by the congress of the United States and approved June 1, 1906, by the acceptance of which Oklahoma became a sovereign state, provided in section No. 501 as follows: "The capital of said state shall temporarily be at the City of Guthrie, in the present Territory of Oklahoma and shall not be changed therefrom previous to anno domini nineteen hundred and thirteen, but said Capital shall AFTER SAID YEAR, by the electors of said State at an election to be provided for by the legislature; provided, however, that the legislature of said State shall not appropriate any public monies of the State for the erection of buildings for Capital purposes during such period." On the 22d day of April, 1907, the constitutional convention of the then proposed State of Oklahoma passed the following ordinance be it Ordained by the Constitutional Convention for the proposed State of Oklahoma, that said Constitutional Convention do BY THIS ORDINANCE IRREVOCABLY, accept the terms and conditions of an act of the Congress of the United States (quoting the above act) approved June 16, 1906," and such acceptance was a condition precedent to Statehood. Now, the initiative petition to be voted upon at the special election on June 11, 1910, "will determine two questions, viz: (1) shall the Capital of the State of Oklahoma be permanently located by this election? (2) shall the Capital of the State of Oklahoma be permanently at a) City or (b) Shawnee or The proposed bill is an Oklahoma City real estate boom scheme. Guthrie and Shawnee are unwilling candidates, and are both fighting permanent location ANY WHERE at the present time. Their names are placed on the ticket over their objection by the framers of the bill. If passed it is certain that the State of Oklahoma will have on its hands another expensive law suit in the way of reduced railroad rates, etc., that can be provided for will be secured. Other announcements giving important detailed information will be made by officers of the League later. BOOKER, T. WASHINGTON, President. LEAVENWORTH. Mr. Robert Sharp is ill at his home on Spring Garden. Miss Grace Hardin and aunt, Rosa Russell, of Indianapolis, were called to the city to attend the funeral of the former's mother, Mrs. J. Hardin. The band concert given by Bell's military band was quite a success. The audience was especially delighted by the vocal solos tendered by Miss Harriet Walton and Mrs. Sam Montgomery. Dr. R. Russell of Topeka and O. J. Russell of St. Joseph, Mo are the guests of their sister, Mrs. P. Webb. WELLINGTON, KANS. Mr. J. 12. Ballard has returned from a short visit in Denver, Colo. Miss Myrtle Smith is on the sick list. Mrs. Rosa Work of Dalton met with the Vernon Art Club at Mrs. F. M. Roberts'. A number of Wellington people were the guests at a surprise party given by Mrs. Rosa Work at her home in Dalton. A few of the Wellington people attended the fair at Wichita. Rev. Harris of Caldwell preached at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday. through all the courts of land till settled by the Supreme Court of the United States; and in this suit, carried on at the expense of the taxpayers for the benefit of an Oklahoma City real estate boom, the state of Oklahoma, whose honor should ever be unsullied will appear in Court confessing unnecessary repudiation of its plighted faith with the Congress of the United States, its violation of its 'ORDINANCE IRREOVCOBLE," and will present to the world the shameful spectacle of asking the Courts of the land to sustain in its self-confessed act of dishonor. Its honor is the very essence of the life of a State or Nation, as it the honor of any individual his crowning glory; and is should not be lightly tossed aside and be smirched at the best of those who seek more pecuniary advantage. The legality of the proposed permanent location at this time is as questionable as the act itself is untimely and unnecessary. Nor is this all; the proposed location bill itself is otherwise objectionable-dangerous. In further contravention of the enabling act as a portion of section seven of the bill carries with it an appropriation of six hundred thousand dollars of the peoples' money to be "immediately available out of the money in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated for the purpose of carrying the provisions of this act into effect." This money, according to the terms of the bill, is to be spent by three commisiones appointed by and acting with the governor for the purchase of lands within or at a distance of not more than five miles from the corporate limits of the city; select as the Capital in ANY AMOUNT THEN CHOOSE from one foot square to so thousand acres. The unlimited and unnecessary possibilities for exploitation and graft upon the state's funds under any such bill are apparent. Yes, the bill should be defeated. For these reasons and taxpayer we are of the opinion that the voters should vote 'NO' on the first proposition; and that on the second they should VOTE FOR GUTHRIE, as the permanent location if one is made at this time; because that would be nearest in keeping with the terms of the enabling act on the permanent location question.
