PEKA PLAINDEALER ROOSEVEL IN KANSAS! The ex-President Tries to Create Unrest Among a Happy, Prosperous People. We attended the dedication of the Joha Brown Park at Osawatomie Wednesday of last week and heard ex-President Roosevelt address thirty thousand enthusiastic people. Major J. B. Remington and the good citizens of Osawatomie are to be complimented on the way they cared for such a large crowd. Not a single accident occured and there was an abundance to eat and plenty of good, pure, fresh water to drink. We were disappointed in Col. Roosevelt's speech. We had expected to hear more of John Brown and the men of his day, but no mention was made of them or the park. We presume that a trivial matter of this kind slipped hi memory in his overly anxious desire to agitate and excite the prosperous, well fed people of Kansas by telling them that they were not getting half of what they are entitled to receive. He told them farther that the railroads, highways, byways, hedges, trusts, courts and everything was in chaos; that the down trodden people must arise and throw off the yoke of bondage. The ex-President has joined Bryan and his calamity wial of 1896 and to look back then and now, W. J. pales into insignificence when compared with the Colonel. We heard the Pops in their palmy days, but Stubbs and Roosevelt have out stripped them at every turn of the road. We are thankful however, that enough sound, sane men remain in the party to stop the sky-rocket statesmen. We was with Mark Hanna and his ideas and shall continue. We wonder if Brownsville ever looms up before the exPresident when he is telling the people that everything and everybody is wrong save himself. His sky-rocket method of dismissing old men from the army on the eve of their retirement has caused untold misery among hundreds of colored people and made tramps of the bravest set of men in the United States Army. Roosevelt has done some good things, but this act alone has been the undoing of all that has been accomplished. VOLUME XII.

J. M. TURNER Gives Out Some Profitable Information. Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 1910. Dear Reader: This is to inform you that the Secretary of the Interior has issued the regulations provided for by the act of Congress, April 20, 1906, under which you have the right to purchase, at appraised value, an additional quantity of land to make your holding amount to forty acres in area. Official notice of the issuance of these regulations has no doubt reached you from the office of the Commissioner to the Five Civilized Tribes. This right must be exercised by you, and the land selected and paid for at the appraised price herefore fixed by the Dawes Commission on or before December 1st, 1910, and failure on your part to act before that date forfeits the right. In accordance with my contract with you to furnish and pay the money for the purchase of the land to which you are entitled and make the selection, which is to be made from the unallotted and unsegregated or reserved lands of the Choctaw Chickasaw nations. I am now at Muskogee prepared to carry out my contract with those whose means are not sufficient to exercise the right for themselves. Communicate with me here, by mail, or otherwise, and I will furnish you any and all information needed to carry into effect your right to allotment, and otherwise protect your interests. He time is short, as your selection must be made and filed and the money paid during the months of September, October and November, otherwise the right will be lost, Respectfully, J. MILTON TURNER. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 9, 1910. COPTEVILLE ITEMS. Colleyville is a little dull, after having so many visitors attending the Grand Lodge. Mrs. Dr. Whittaker entertained Thursday evening in honor of Prof. Whittaker and wife of Kentucky. All who attended report a jolly time. Mrs. Lizzie Sands of Colleyville and Mr. Clingget of Nowatt, Okla., were married at Independence, Wednesday, by the probate judge. They will be at home on E. 5th St., after Sept. 5th. Mrs. M. E. Woods entertained at her beautiful home on E. 9th St, at two o'clock dinner in honor of Prof. Whittaker and wife. A delightful time was enjoyed by all. Miss Molhe Aldridge of Junction City, Kansas, was in the city a few days, entoure to Chelsa, Okla., to take charge of her school. While in the city she was the guest of Mrs. Rev. Brooks. A polly crowd enjoyed the day at Mrs. Lane's country home six miles from town. Among the number were Prof. and Mrs. Whittaker. The warm weather continues. Mr. W. E. Richardson and wife, who moved to Oswego some time ago, have returned to Colleville. There is no place like home. Mrs. Bertha Ingram is reported on the sick list. Services were well attended at all the churches on Sabbath morning. The much needed rain prevented holding service on Sabbath evening. Telephone your news items to 773s. BOLTON, KANS. Mr. Edward Pleasant of Lincoln, N. is at Holton at the sick bed of his mother. Mrs. Sophia Wilson, who is not expected to live. One of the most delightful events of the season was the surprise party given on Uncle Joe Martin, Sept. 5th, in remembrance of his 85th birthday. He is one of the oldest colored settlers in Stafford county, coming here in 1878 being well known throughout the county. He was sitting in his comfortable arm chair, on the front lawn, when a crowd of his children, grand children and friends numbering about fifty, came in the back door with baskets of eatables and presents of all kinds. he surprise can be imagined; Uncle Joo laughed and cried until perfectly exhausted; then tables were arranged on the front lawn and everybody dined sumptuously. After wishing Uncle Joe much happiness, at a late hour the guests departed for their homes, feeling the time had been joyously spnt and would be long remembered. Mr. Lewis Martin is still ill. Mrs. Nunnie Williams of Hutchinson is visiting her niece in the country. Mrs. Jack Bowers is improving slowly. Mine. McCarroll has been in our city a few days, delivering toilet goods and appreciates the patronage of the people. The church is progressing both spiritually and financially under the management of Rev. Rainey. He seems to be loved by everyone and we only hope he will be with us next year. Crops seem to be doing fairly well considering the drought. COMPACT MASONS IN TOPEKA! A Very Small Reminent of the Ghost of the Followers of Capt. Matthews Make a Weak Struggle in an Attempt to Revive. The National Compact Masons held their annual grand session in Topeka this week at 420 Kansas avenue. The ladies' grand court was also in session. Grand Master J. B. Anderson of Kansas City presided. Bishop J. W. Allstock of Montgomery, Ala, national grand master, was present. There were about fifty in attendance, including the women delegates and friends. We do not see the use of a national grand master, unless it is to carry out the work of Uncle Bill Matthews. Most of those present are students of Uncle Bill. As long as the Compacts have a local boss and a national boss to draw from their coffers, no long will the progressive Negroes remain sovereigns in their own states. Such masonry as is practiced by the Compacts nowadays is unheard of and no civilized people or tribes adhere to such methods. The trouble with a large number of colored lodges is that there are so many men who want to be leaders. Either rule or ruin. In nine cases out of ten the tail wants to wag the head. To be the tail of a lion would have less effect on that clams, but to be the head of gnat would give them glowing satisfaction. What do the Compacts expect to gain by such toolishness? The State Rights pay their widows $150, provide a home for widows, orphans and old and decrepit Masonn. It has nearly 2,000 members, courts and chapters and is paying out thousands of dollars each year to the orphans. Why should any man or woman idle their time arguing as to which is regular or has the right charter? The American colored man dates from 1-65; al- the Saviour died over 2,000 years ago, the colored men never enjoyed the rights to which his suffering entitled them until after '65. It makes very little difference as to how Prince Hall obtained the degrees or to whom they are given. just so we have them. Now, pull together for the betterment of conditions. The grafters will always ply their craft. ATCHISON NEWS. Miss Emma Matthews returned Wednesday from a month's visit in St. Joseph.

The building for this school that has just been completed, was erected and equipped at a cost of four hundred, twenty thousand dollars, making the same the most of its kind in the country. School opened Tuesday with an enrollment of four hundred students—eighty seven more than one the same day last year. Mr. Robt. Smith of 1312 Garfield Ave. received his certificate Thursday as a licensed engineer. If not the first, Mr. ovide One in the Sky! Smith is next to the first colored man to pass the examination in the city and to be so honored. A well known postal clerk, forty-two hundred west, will take to himself a helpmeet the last of this month. Kansas City take notice. Mr. T. A. Williamson of 4325 Garfield Ave. has completed the remodeling of his home, making it the most complete and prettiest six room modern home in the west end. Mr. Williamson is a postal clerk on the Iron Mountain and with the assistance of Mrs. Williamson, has accumulated more property than any other negro postal clerk in St. Louis. Mr. T. T. Bush, a postal clerk on the Frisco, is doing the real estate stunt on the side. He reports the sale of a house at 1215 Finney Ave. to a client for thirty three hundred dollars. This is a complete modern six room house in a select neighborhood. A long felt want filled A negro grocery and saloon combined. Stublefield Brothers have opened this store at the corner of North Market and Pendleton streets. These young men are from None and deserve the patronage of colored people in that neighborhood. They are getting it. The lawns on Cote Bullhante continue to be the best kept lawns in the city. Ask Frank Bulkin why. Mr Barretts, on Pine Street, is showing the light pictures to crowded houses. By the way, the various colored nickelohons in the city are doing a paying business. The colored woman of St. Louis: Some of them are the prattiest and best gowned women in the United States; others are the poorest dressed women in the country, appending on the streets in one piece, stockingless and with men's shoes on. Surprising to say, some of our lady teachers are among this latter class. A common question asked these days: Have you had in your cell? Yes. Two hundred bushels. The colored dealers are getting then share of the business. The St. Louis Giants continue to play winning ball. The latest victims were the Memphis Tigers, 7 to 2. The last of the month the Giants play a three day series in Chicago. A train load of tourists are going along in a sprint. Any colored team that can draw a seven thousand crowd ought to be a paying business proposition. Mrs. Johnson of 1723 Pendleton St. has just returned from a three weeks' visit in Chicago. She reports that the people in the city by the like know how to entertain Mrs. S. W. Moore of 4252 Garfield Ave. entertained at dinner Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Walkeh of 3700 Lawton Ave. Mr. Smith, a chauffeur, has bought the property at 1824 Goode Ave., a modern four room brick cottage. Be it said to the honor of the St. Louis chauffeurs, they are investing their earnings in nice real estate. A colored woman appeared on Garfield Ave. the other day dressed in one of the latest Parisian gowns. We do not fancy that these hobble skirts will be very popular as one woman has already fallen and killed herself with one. But if the blondes wear them, the brunettes will, too. INDEPENDENCE, KANS. Mrs. Anna Wright has just returned from a pleasant visit to Carthage, Mo. Miss Illa Vanderford having finished a course in hair dressing, returned home from Parsons last week. Mrs. Virginia Montgomery is visiting her brother at Kansas City, Mo. Miss Martina Hueller is attending school at Pittsburg, Kans. Mrs. O. C.

HUMANITY LOSES A FRIEND We regret the loss of so valu: able a man as Mr, James E. Hurley, general manager of the great Santa Fe system. He was one of the leading railroad man- agers of the world and, we must say, one of the best. He will be missed by the employes and offic- ials over the whole system. The colored employes regarded him as their staunch friend. He in- creased the pay of the train por- ters who had been trying for years to get a raise under other managers. He respected his colored employes as much as he did those of the other race. Upon bis arrival at Carlsbad he wrote cards to bis colored at- taches stating his‘condition, and to Mr. R. S. Sims, his private car man, that he longed to eat some of his good pies; the for- eigners could not bake them like Sims. A few of the colored em- ployes were given special places in the funeral cortege: Mr. Sims and family, H. C. Brown and family, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Reed and Miss Marie Graham. Peace to his dust! The Lord always takes away the good white man and leaves the ornery one to abuse and binder the progress- ive Negro. COUNTY COMMISSIONER. Hon. Frank B. Sims is a can- didate for re-election to the office of county commissioner from the north side. He 1s giving the people of Shawnee county ex- cellent service and deserves to be re-elected by a large majority, We hase conversed with a large number of voters in the district and all say that politics don't count when it comes to a man Jike Mr Sims who has done and is doing mere than any living soul to build ap the North side. Since he has been in office not a bridge, road or pig path has been neglected. The board only awaits an act of the legis- lature to empower them to build and repair the bridges taken out by the high water. They have completed several miles of good roads in the county and reduced the taxes sevesa) mills. The only out-standing bonds against Shawnee county is for the build- ing of the court house. We hope Mr. Sims wil! not have to make @ strenuous cam- paign to tell the people of the good things. accomplished by him. All intelligent voters should know and act jp accordance. Vote for Sinas for county com- missioner and ycu make co mistake. “ Ong great drawback to the colored people in large cities is the extortionite ‘reat they are compelled to pay for sbabby houses. They pay thirty per cent. more than do white people for the same class of houses. The colcred lodges will have to go into the building of flats and houses or the colored people will continue to be robped and starved to death. Twenty per cent. of the colored people in large cities don't get enough to eat simply because it takes all ef their scanty earnings to pay tent, therefore cold and bunger so undermines their system that consumption and other ravages are always prevalent, If the white man wants to stamp out the ‘white plague’’ he skould compel certain members of his race to erect jecent bouses for colored tenants and charge them in the bounds of reason. In the meantime, the colored race should move up and buy more property—especially one to five acre tracts where they can raise chickens and garden truck. | WE URDERSTAND that the Re- publicans of Oklahoma will not stand for Democratic outrages in Oklahoma at the coming election.

Walker, of this clty, wae a candidate for the presi- dency of the National Baptist Con- vention, a commotion was created and it was at once whispered around the entire United States among the leaders that his election would be a certainty, This argument is more tuily substantiated by seveeal facts which, when looked at properly mean his unanimous eleotion, H2: 18 one of the most eloquent speakers aad forceful debate re in the United States, and hails trum a state that is over- whelmingly Baptist. He is the peo- ple's ideal, and he has the ability to organize. He knuwe what the people want, need and must have. The atrongest thing in faver of hia unanimous election ie the tact that Dr. Morris, who has served for more than sixteen years as president of convention, har said emphatically that under no condition would he accept the presidency if there were another candidate for the position, that it wou d have to be acclamation or not at all, Ltis understood that Dr, Walker has notified Dr, Moris that he isa candidate for the presi- dency and has aeked him for his sup- port. The delegates from Georgia are enthusiastic for Dr. Walker. It is said that when the name of Dr. C, T, Walker is presented at New Or- leans that Dr, Morris will dectine tu stand tur re-election, and that when Dr. Walke. sa pat in nomination by his home state, it will be seconded by nearly every state inthe Uaiou Meas pee dM bets of th saberdinah Lodues aft. siborndinite Lodges of the Giatud dutaticthoa of Kansas.
