TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Refuses to Appoint a Worthy Young Man on Account of Color----Our Congressmen Should Investigate. Emporia or rather the postmaster at that place has developed a bad case of colorphobia by refusing to appoint a young Afro-American as letter carrier for no other reason than that he is colored and he did not hesitate in telling him so. Mr. Phoenix, the young man who was turned down for a position he won fairly, writes as follows to the Emporia Gazette: To the editor of the Gazette; Sir. December 12, 1908, at a civil service examination held at the Emporia postoffice, I past second out of a class of twelve with a grade of 85 20 Several appointments have been made since that time over me. The other day I received a communication from our postmaster, asking me to meet him at the post office for a little talk. Going there today, Saturday, he informed me that on account of my color he could not appoint me the existing vacancy. I was led into taking this examination from statements from United States examination books, as "impartiality must prevail," "standing high on the register is the only thing that counts, without regard to politics, religion or facts. Notwithstanding this fact, the government's regarding one's qualifications only (and I had those from the fact that I secured second place out of twelve contestants) our postmaster makes special postal rules as to color to avoid "discord among the several clerks, carriers and myself." Other Kansas towns have colored carriers and the patrons receive their mail with due regularity. As I have lived in this community twenty six years, schooled at your High school, abided by the city's laws and commandments, spent my earnings in Emporia with Emporians, it seems hard that all should go for naught, hence I apply through the Gazette for a deep consideration of this case by the fair minded citizens and those working to elevate the striving Negro, who tries so often in vain. If all cases are to culminate as this, a pick and shovel course should be introduced into the curriculum of the schools to enable the Negro's education to fit him for the hod and hoe. Yours, The average citizen doesn't care a snap whether his mail is delivered by a black or white man so long as he receives it in good condition and on time, hence there is no one to blame for this matter but a prejudiced, short-cighted postmaster and not the decent, self-respecting white citizens of Emporia. Theodore Roosevelt made the prejudice whites accept mail from a black postmistress at Indianolia, Mississippi, and the Emporia postmaster can be made appoint a colored man who won the place on merit and is morally and physically capable. This TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1910. matter should be checked up to the civil service commission and it would also be wise to call the attention of Senators Curtis and Bristow and also Congressman Anthony and have them look into the matter. In his Emporia Gazette Will White deplores the condition, but failes to see any fault in the postmaster who is soley responsible for it. Mr. White says: This young man's statement is most significant. It should be considered by our taxpayers. For if young men like him of the Negro race are to find the door of hope closed to them in the higher grades of work under the government, we should close the door frankly, and not by stealth. We should, first of all, close our high schools to Negroes unless we are to give to Negroes who finish our high school courses some position better than they can get without the higher education. It is folly as taxpayers to support high sohoo's for boys and girls, and then force these young people always to remain hewers of wood and drawers of water. It is cruel to inspire hope and then mock it in them. It is vicious to educate these people so that the world of spiritual things is open to them, and then to put them making bricks without straw. A colored mail carrier certainly could give ouse to no one, who, for instance, would employ a colored servant in thin house. A colored mail carrier has no intimate relations with his patrons and his color should not oar him from that job. A Model School. One day this week we had the good fortune to visit Washington school, and it would not be out of place to state right here that Prof. John L. Hatrison, principal of the school, is one of the best educators to be found anywhere. Through his efforts and the Mothers' League they have a fine, new two-story brick school building with light, heat, ventilation and sanitary conveniences of the latest improved order. No building in the state surpasses it. The teachers take pride in their work and are deeply interested in the children as a glance will readily tell the most casual observer. About two hundred attend Washington school and all look neat and clean. Misses Cora Bennett, Lillian Jelz and Mrs. W. I. Jamison constitute the staff of teachers and they are excellent, measuring up full in every requirement and leave nothing undone to advance the children. The beautiful and valuable pictures that adorn the many walls tell the story of culture and refinement in the teachers which is instilled into the children. Mr. Joseph Brasher, the capable and efficient janitor in well experienced and the way he handles the different machinery shows that he is an expert. An alarm, indicating fire had broken out in the building was sounded, and in three minutes tin every child was on the ground. The people across the creek" are stly proud of their teachers and it magnificent school building. Ridley is teaching half days. He is a good teacher. Last but by no means the least, was the rendition of a selection from Dunbar by little Miss Captolia Jones. She is a plearing speaker and handles dialect far better than the average traveling dramatic reader that we have paid a good price to hear. Passed to a Higher Life. Wednesday morning of last week the sands in her hour-glass ran out, and the spirit of Mrs. Rebecca Murphy was wafted to its creator. It marked the closing scenes of a useful and well-spont life, and the little cottage on Washington street where she had shared the joys and sorrows of her family was transformed into a house of mourning. Mother, that dearest of all friends, had passed to a higher and nobler life, and none can fully sympathize with those bereaved whose fireside has never been visited by the grim monster. Mrs. Murphy was born in South Carolina sixty-four years ago, and after she grew to womanhood, settled in Texas, where she resided until about six years ago, when she with the family moved to this city. For thirty years she had been a faithful, conscientious Christian, and at the time of her death was a member of the Third Baptist church from where the funeral was conducted by Rev. Franklin, the pastor, who was assisted by Rev. Davis. Deceased was an honored member of the Benevolent order, under whose auspices the funeral was held. A sister, Mrs. Cynthia Smith of this city, a brother, husband and son, four daughters and several grandchildren survive her. Thus the dear old ladies who blazed the way through privation and toil are passing and their lofty deeds and noble lives of simplicity will cause the world to grow better on account of their having lived in it. Peace to her ashes! COFFEYVILLE ITEM8. Rev. J. R. Ransom, presiding elder of the Kansas City district made his quarterly visit to the A. M. E. church on the 18th inst. Rev. H. T. S.

I wish to call the attention of all the cooks and porters on the various railways to the great need of an organization among us by which to protect each other. There should be a grand organization among us as there is among other men, by which we could help each other when sick or too old to follow our regular vocations. One dollar a month would be sufficient to pay eight or ten dollars a week to those who might be in need of assistance, and this dollar is made by every porter and cook every month in the form of tips, and practically thrown away. Let us get together on a proposition of this kind while we can. I know that some will say they have been beaten out of money, and all that, but we could require good bonds from those who handle the money and thus make ourselves secure. All who wish to help do something along this line please write me at onoe and try to meet me in Topeka, Kansas, June 20, 1910. In behalf of the sewing department of Lincoln High school, we are pleased to note that they have accomplished much during this school year. Everybody seemed interested in the work and all enjoyed being in the sewing room. The freshman class has completed then first year's work and it is surprising how neatly and well it done. Aside from completing the course, they have made many other circles of use. The school board must have been paired with the work in they gave a noble instuctress, Miss D. vie Williams the opportunity to purchase supplies to be used in carrying on the work. She has worked faithfully and highly deserves the praises that is being heaped upon her on all sides. We extend our thanks to the school board for their generosity. It can truthfully be said that not only the pupils but the parents and public will long remember this year's work in the sewing department of Lincoln High school.

We are sorry to see so many pretended Christians among the white people continue to inject the color question into religious matters. At the World's Sun- day school convention in Wash- ington, D. C., a few hypocrites drew the line against a colored Bible class marching in the same parade, and then votcd Booker T. Washington a life member- sbip, paying one thousand dol- lars for it without apologizing to the much humiliated Bible class for the insult heaped upon them. We hope Booker T. Washington will have the courage and man- hood to refuse the offer until this wrong is remedied by an apology. There is a set of white people masquerading under the guise of Christianity whose stock in trade consists of traveling over the country stirring up racial strife. So long as Christian people al- low renegades to run the churches so long will a large mass of peo- ple retnain out of the church. It is high time that our white brethren learn some sense. No Christian gentleman will permit prejudice to get the better of his judgment. So far as we are con- cerned, we would prefer hell rather than meet such fellows in Heaven. | Proy.

Clean and jcapable, always an earnest and active Republican, a member of one of Topeha's best known families; no young man in the history of Shawnee county has ever had a greater numoer of warm friends among our people. Mr, Squires 1s the son of J. H Squires, for many years a mem- ber of the board of education and city clerk of Topeka. While serving in these capacities the elder Squires had many oppcr- tunities of demonstrating his sense of fairness and bis f{riend- ship for the colored race, and the young man has always shown the same consideration, the same interest and the same sympathy for the colored race, His can- didacy will be received with de- light and his hundreds of friends will work for him with en- thusiasm. ‘The colored vote has olten been divided frequently along moral and factional lines and inthe warmest of the ap- proacbing primarizs many dif- ferences of opinion, many bitter fights may arise, but upon one matter our peuple will be united.

Miss Jones is one of the most successful ranks the le- It was an ideal evening for the occasion and nearly all seats in the Chapel were occupied twenty minutes before the program began. Promptly at 5:15. Miss Plink vioe which corresponded to the col- dones appaed. hands only It was 12 on schedule of the evening. "The South Littoral in 6 Minute showed rare temperament, and the _ in a little bind." was interpreted with the chantiness of touch which all ways make Gogis's piece when the son of the Littoral. Schumann's "Lunette" was put up to the other members. Mrs Jones' technique was good and interpretation interesting, but at tricks were not executed with the precision that was characteristic in the L. chatzsky Laude. The latter winning much applause and comments from the audience. Her last number, Chopin "Necturn" op. 35 No. 2 showed exceptional talent of soul and power to interpret the inspiration of others. Mrs Jones longer destiny was very pronounced, showing that the technical part of her mental had not been overlooked. Her technic was at its best in the Water Concerto on two pianos. For twenty five minutes the influence was half-spell bound while she rendered with out a flow that bourn animal concerto, which is full of technical demands and brilliant passages. Tose who assisted in the program were: Miss Palomita Hubbell, soprano; Mr. Frederick Puffin Rafter and Mr. Guild Tyler, bassoon. The numbers of each were well handled pleasing and excellent. Miss Jones noted as a which was a great musical treat. She has set a high standard for the recital of the year and we predict that the musical world will be a troon here in a few years. Western University needs to be compartmented upon the present high standard which its musical department has attained. Prior, it is decided that the current head, has been working closely for eight years to build up this particular feature of the university work. Will it be instituted when one says that he has succeeded. It goes without saying that Western University is the most of center for negroes in the West. X10510, X0 Rev. W.
