Manager Griffin Interviews Business Men and Politicians in the New State. Historical State Horiz The Consumers Light OKLAHOMA OF P Manager Griffin In Men and Poli New MUSKOGEE in one of the most prosperous and beautiful cities in America. It is a bustling city of about 50,000 live, wide awake, energetic souls-not a dead one in the lot. Each is striving to make his or her business excel that of his neighbor. The colored people are deporting themselves admirably well in the business activity of the city. They have banks, dry goods, grocery, clothing and drug stores and all are making good. The Negro business men of the city have a live, wide awake commercial club and they are using of forts to build a greater Muskogee. The club is made up of men of sound business judgment and enjoys the confidence of the white citizens as well as those of their own race, Muskogee has an fine lot of white people as one cares to meet. The business men are enterprising, courteous and polite and take great pride in appointing the colored people who are struggling for a foot hold in the business world. We met our old time friend, Hon J. Milton Turner, of St Louis. He is a member of the "old guard" and one of the greatest Negroes in America. He has been a leader in state and national affairs for years, and is an orator, statesman and diplomat. It was he who secured from the United States government a land proposition that will greatly benefit the black race, as may be seen by the following letter of Mr. Turner: Muskogee, Okla., Sept 20, '10 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 26, 1890 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 to 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 appointed price hereof fore fixed by the Dawes Commission on or before December 1st, 1910, and failure on your part to act before that date forcits 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 in the selection, which is to be made from the unallotted and unregulated or reserved lands of the Choc law-Chickasaw nations, I am now at Muskogee prepared to carry out my contract with those whose means are not sufficient for themselves." --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30, 1910. JOHN WILLIAMS, a newspaper correspondent, real estate dealer and promoter of good things, is a jolly fellow, prosperous and happy. He is located in the Scales Building and showed us a good time. ERNEST LINWOOD, a former Kansas City, Mo., news paper man, is editing the Enterprise. He is a writer of more than ordinary ability and has a heart as large as the state of Oklahoma. We are always glad to meet our old-college chums like Ernest. He entertained us royally. BILL CARTER formerly of Sedalia, Mo., is another old time printer who is holding down Muskogee. Carter made the race for Congress in Missouri several years ago and made many warm friends throughout the West. --- GEO, P CRAIG, PH, C. Our old Kentucky friend, Geo. P. Craig, Ph.C., is about the whole show in Muskogee. He has made good and stands high both in and out of the profession. PRO1. LEWIS. We also had the pleasure of meet ing Prot Lewis, a real estate dealer and another progressive and prosperous business man. He made things very lively for the writer, and if we ever catch him in Kansas well, it will be left for him to tell you the rest.

He is a jolly good fellow well met, and has plenty of this world' s goods. He is a lawyer and news- paper man of n te THE MUSKOGEL ELECTRIC TRANSFER COMPANY is one of the most carefully managed concerns to be found anywhere. They are making extensive improvements on their street railway daily. The service is prompt and the equipment is modern in every particular. Mr. R. D Long, general manager of the company, is one of the most active and progressive men in the whole state. He is a builder of great things and never rests upon his arms in his struggle for a greater Mankage. The people should show Mr. Long and his company their gratitude by lending them whatever assistance they may ask. L. A. Kelly the only Mukogee great John Kelly, who is a part of the history and progress of Mukogee, is again at his old stand, 220 North Second street, where he is prepared to meet his old friends and acquaintances and give them the very best service in the city. OKLAHOMA CITY is metropolitan in every respect, and has a large population of enterprising and thirty white and colored people. Everybody boots for Oklahoma City and as a result they are rolling in prosperity. THE OKLAHOMA CITY RAIL ROAD COMPANY is one of the best equipped in the country. They have miles of good level track and are spending thousands of dollars at present, making improvements. They are largely responsible for the growth of the city. It is managed by a corps of good, competent business men and if they are not hampered by silly legislation in the city of franchises this concern will place Oklahoma city in a class with Kansas City. St. Louis and other great trade centers. THE RIDENOUR BAKER GROCERY COMPANY, WHOLESALEERS. are the largest and best in the state. Their celebrated roasted coffee has made the firm name a housebold word. Mr. Martin S. Cooter, treasurer, is an exceptional business man. He is farsighted and understands every detail known to the art of business building. Mr. Cooter has placed the firm on a high plane in the new state and earned for himself an enviable position in the business world. The many Topeka friends of Ed Williams will be pleased to learn that he is prospering in the land of plenty. He owns and operates two first class pool parlors. While here Mr. Williams spared neither time nor money in seeing that our stay was one of pleasure and profit. --- THE OLLOWAOMA STATE BANK located at Muskogee, is an institution that has been and is doing much for the whole state. The bank enjoys the confidence of people in every walk of life and from the humblest to the highest they enjoy doing business with this institution. The bank offers, Mr. S. D. Mc. Cluskey, cashier; R. A. Dosey vice press; and W. E. Rowley vice pres. are all big-hearted not lomen of the highest type; each an excellent business man, courteous, kind and poite to all men, regardless of creed, color or religion. --- THE HALL-HARELL GROCERY CO. is the largest of its kind in this section. They are leaders with large houses at McAister, Colgate, Durant and headquarters at Muskogee. These houses are the supply stations for the whole state and a portion of Texas. The Hale-Harell Grocery company is one of the concerns that is making Oklahoma and the people would grant them my privilege they may seek. The company has the interest of Oklahoma at heart and will contribute their dollars to make the stock grow and prosper. These are leading brands of goods handled by this concern—Hale's Pride, Hale's Lander, Hale's No 10, Chucktax and Cowboy. IULSA in another thriving, growing city, with a fine size of citrus Here is located the Briton Harvey Grocery Co., one of the leading wholesale concerns of the state. They have a capital stock of $200,000, and are not afraid to turn loose a dollar in boosting their business and Oklahoma. They enjoy an extensive trade throughout the state and also Texas. Mr. W. L. Britton, president, and Mr. Ralph S. Harvey treasurer, are both men of wonderful executive ability and Oklahoma owes much of her prosperity to their keen business judgment. Personally they are as fine as you make 'em and every inch gentlemen of the highest type, CLARENCE W. TURNER In the building of a Greater Muskogee to name appears more prominently in the affairs of this of this section than the above. The Turner Hardware company is one of the oldest business establishments in the state; at the same time one of the leading institutions in their line in the new state. Mr. Turner came to the Creek nation when a boy and his long residence in the state has made him one of the best known men in this section. No one man stands better with the native people and the pioneer element of Oklahoma than Mr. Turner. In the early days of the state, when money was scarce and the people needed favors in order to carry them until they could get money from the sale of grans or cattle, he always gave his assistance to all deserving appeals and these kindnesses have never been forgotten. His many friends among the native and pioneer citizens of Muskogee and the surrounding country are always pleased to note the rapid advance of the interests of their friend and neighbor and especially that his kindness of heart along with his progressive spirit in the interest of his home town have been appreciated by the public generally and that he has been such an important factor in the development of this section of the state, As a personal matter, no person in the city of Munkogee is more loved by the Negro than Mr. Turner. He has always been the friend of the deserving Negro. In Mr. Turner the unfortunate have always found a sympathizer and a friend. He use of this fact they always came to him as their counsellor and friend, and their confidence has never been betrayed JUDGE A. I BILDISON. Of Tulsa, candidate for judge of the Supreme Court, in the third district is a man of the people, who has been a life-long Republican, and who has always contributed both time and money to maintain the principles of the Republican part. He has never before allowed his name to be used for an office so high in the gift of the people and it is only now in deference to the wishes of friends that he has expressed a willingness to make the race, feeling as he does that to sacrifice his extensive practice, at this time, would be yielding much to the wishes of his friends. No better man could be selected for the place upon the supreme bench than our friend and fellow publican Judge A. J. Lombard of Tulsa, a man of great executive ability. His opinion has been unjust through the state as safe in every respect, which alone would be a high recommendation. He stands as the head of a professor, he is a man of honor and dignity, and easy to approach in assuming in his manner and knowing the wants and wishes of the people. When he was in the legislature as NUMBER 39 state senator, he served with honor to himself and credit to his party and his work while there is an open book His service upon some of the most important committees in that body rendered valuable service to the people generally. Judge Biddon believes that the bench should be entirely eliminated from politics and that the judiciary of the state of Oklahoma should establish a standard that will place it in line with the older states. GET YOUR PARTY ON THE LINE When talking over the Bell 'phone. Of all the institutions in the state of Oklahoma that stand for progress, for development and for the upbuilding of the state is the Pioneer Telephone and Telegraph company. With wires that extend into every section of the state, with central offices located in towns and cities wherever there is a center, and with magnificent buildings, such as the headquarters in Oklahoma City where the Pioneer building is one of the "sights" of the city. It has invested in Oklahoma to the extent of several millions of dollars. To keep up with the remarkable growth of the state is one of the tasks that is being undertaken with a will. Nearly two millions of dollars have been expended in the state this year by this institution in improvements and additions. Under the supervision of the Corporation Commission it has maintained fair rates, good service and shown a spirit of good will in every "booster" undertaking that makes the citizens of the state welcome it as a fellow "booster." THE CRO BY MILLS. A LOPEKA CONCERN HAT HAS MADE GOOD AT HOME AND APROAD. Manufacturing concerns are the life and spirit of any city, and of the numerous institutions of this kind doing business in Topeka, none are more favorably known throughout than the great Crosby Millis. Their products are known and used in almost every city and hamlet in America. They also enjoy a large ex. cr trade which is increasing daily. It has been the aim of the Crooby Mills to give the people the best to be had in the way of mill stuffs, and their rapidly increasing business is concinive proof that they have accomplished every aim. Croby's Best is a flour with a station. Its purity of quality has made it a universal favorite with the Western housewife. It is red and indorsed by the leading bakeries, hotels and cates of Topeka. It is managed by a set of thorough business men. They are courteous, kind and polite and take great pride in assisting any proposition that has for its object the making of a greater Topeka.

While in Atchison last week we asked as to how Jim Smith stood with the people for county treasurer and found a large number enthusiastically supporting him, among whom were several railroad men. He served the people as sheriff for two terms and the county never had a better official. He is a man that has worked hard all of his life and is identified with the laboring people. He has many warm friends among the colored people and was never known to discriminate against people on account of creed, color or religion. While sheriff Mr. Smith took time to go to Hutchinson and bring a boy back from the reformatory to attend his brother's funeral and then carried him back. The boy's grandfather can never forget Mr. Smith's kindness which is only one of many that he has done for both colored and white people. He is popular with all classes and has a strong following. The candidate for probate judge of Atchison county is is Hon. J. P. Adams, judge of the city court. He is a man well versed in the law and prominent in the ranks of the legal profession. He has been a resident of the county for thirty years and succeeded Judge Casey in the city court four years ago. He is very popular with all classes and parties and will draw as strong from the Democrats as from his own party. He is a New Purker by birth but spent most of his time in Atchison county. He says there is no doubt about his election as the lawyers prefer a man in the office who has legal training. He is courteous, kind and polite and in every way competent to pass on the rights of the widows and orphans. Douglas County. W. H. Banning, sheriff of Douglas county is a candidate for re-election (second term.) He has filled the office to the entire satisfaction of the people of the county. He has captured several desperate criminals and preserved order generally. He has resided in the county nearly all of his life and was a successful farmer and is very popular with this class. He is the peoples' candidate and believes that he will be given the customary second term. Leavenworth. W. H. Courtney, the popular grocer and ex-county treasurer is the Republican nominee for sheriff of Leavenworth county. He is a popular citizen, born in the county and a successful farmer. He is acquainted with every person in the county and has a host of warm friends who are earnestly working for his success at the polls. Hon. Frank M. Gable candidate for Representative Sixth district is an old and highly respected citizen of Leavenworth county and has many good, warm friends in all parties. He is in favor good roads, a change in the tax laws PETER H. BURGESS so they will be more equal.

He has a large following and is gaining daily as the people become familiar his platform. A farmer and dairyman. Lived in Deleware township 56 years.

BIGGERS BUSINESS COLLEGE One of the most conspicuous enterprises in the state of Oklahoma is that of the Biggers Business college of Muskogee, located in the Twine building on South Second street, a building owned by one of the prominent Negro attorneys of that city. Mr. Biggers' institution is one of the evidences of the possibilities of the race in a new field. Mr. Biggers is one of the many self-made young men in the new state, having begun life in the ordinary avenues confined only to Negroes; but Professor Biggers was not to be daunted; he came West and struck out in a line entirely new to the entire West. He first took a course in business and after getting the practical side of the profession he decided to open a school for the education of his own people along that line. At first the undertaking was in a modest way, including a few rented machines and rough tables and other furniture. The people were quick to take hold of the new enterprise for the reason that many Negroes had come into the new country and embarked in business enterprises which created a demand for clerks and bookkeepers of practical business experience, so that the students of the bigger school found ready employment as soon as they had finished the preliminary course. Constantly the business has grown, until it has passed the experimental period and is now one of the representative and substantial institutions of Muckogee. In ministers, Layman Churches and Auxiliaries comprising the Kansas Baptist State Convention of Kansas. The nineteenth Annual Session will convene with the Third Baptist Church, Ottawa, Kansas, October 3rd, 1910, Rev. F. I. Hammonds, Pastor. Dear Co-Workers, we now call your attention to the Annual Meeting of this conventional year. You are well informed concerning the work of this state and the missionary cause which we are to maintain. The harvest is ripe, our field is being broadened every year. More Missionary pastors are needed. The Old Folks Home must be taken care of. To meet all our obligations we must raise $2,000,000 at this meeting. We therefore appeal to every minister, layman, church and auxiliary to put forth their energy to help raise this amount. Come prepared to make this meeting excel all others. A souvenir button and tag will be sent to every one who sends $100 to the con- vention for the Old Folks Home. A tag Day will be conducted at the convention and at the Home when we will celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of the opening of the Old Folks Home at Lawrence, Kan., MONDAY, OCT. 10. 1910. For this occasion we have succeeded in procuring the service of Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, Nashville, Tenn. One of the greatest orators of the race. Secretary of the Educational Board of the Great National Baptist Convention. Send all money to Rev. C. G. Flahback, Ottawa, Kan. Let us go to the convention, not for pleasure, but to glorify God. Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, Pres. Deacon J. Erra Lewis, Rec. Soc'y. STOCK SALE. Smithvale Telephone Co. from August 22, 1910, to May 16, 1911. Don't wait! Buy it! If you don't somebody else will. Buy one for yourself and get your neighbor to buy one. The Smithvale Telephone Co. is very anxious to find a Negro man and woman who have >100 worth of race yale in them! It is easy matter to talk the pride but let us act it by making some sacrifice for our race. See our agents and get one of the Company's dollar tickets, and try for one of the 40 shares that will be given away with the sale of 1000 of our dollar Tickets. Our tickets are worth one dollar after our sale is concluded May 10th, 1911. You can make a dollar payment on a share of stock by sending your ticket to the office of the Smithvale Telephone Co., R. P. D. No. 1. Who will be tagged for the Smithvale Telephone Co. It only costs 25c. Put yourself on record by getting one of these Souvenirs. The Smithvale Telephone Co. owned and operated exclusively by Negroes, is doing a great work and extending to the youths of the race a great opportunity of building up and cementing themselves into one of the biggest corporations controlled by Colored People. In order for anything great to succeed, it must have the confidence of its people accompanied by some money. In the great State Capital Campu-n, many of us paid one dollar for a tag or button in order that the state enterprise may be a success. Let me ask you to think seriously upon a business proposition that will mean much to us as a race. Do you have confidence enough in your race to believe they can bring things to pass? Do you believe that they can control and operate business concerns as well as the white race? If so, think on the business outlook of the Smithvale Telephone Co. owned and controlled by your own race and allow yourself to be tagged to foster an enterprise that will mean much for our own boys and girls. We hope every person who desires to see Negro Corporations succeed that they may give employment to our own people, will pay 25c for one of these souvenirs of the Smithvale Telephone Co.

Too much can't be said of the ability of these Negro Heroes in the baseball art. They played five games and each drew a large crowd of both white and black yellow themselves house roosting for both teams. The ground has been purchased at no data Mr. for the long needed home for incorrigible girls. And it is hoped that Governor Halley will exercise great care in selling persons to fill the different positions in the home to take it always so much direct influence coming from those who come in daily contact with the girls. We have women of strong and noble characters and we hope that some of our com- pany of one will be sent for the differing positions. At a recent meeting of the Women's Federation in this city, one of the others of the Hoe was asked for information concerning the Home and she replied that she did not think it any of the club's business. In view of the fact that the Home will expect an absence from the Women's Clubs, Churches, etc., it is well for the Home and the public to be on its most monthly term.

A WORD TO THE WISE. The proper time to equip your furnace or stoves with natural gas is at hand. This should be done before the hard cold weather arrives. The Consumers' Light, Heat and Power Company have been making extensive improvements during the past three months and positively assures plenty of gas enough to supply a dozen towns the size of Topeka. The work of improving has been done at an enormous cost, but the price or the gas will remain the same cheaper than dirt. Mr T. G. Treleaven, manager of the company, is to be congratulated upon the magnificent success he is making in the way of giving the people such excellent service. His sole ambition is to give the consumer the very best possible service, and he is succeeding admirably. Topeka can justly feel proud of the Consumers' Light, Heat and Power Company, and if given an opportunity they will accomplish much more for the town. The company has contributed much to the present growth and prosperity of the city, and in turn they should be dealt with liberally in the way of franchises, etc. At some future date THE PLAINDEALER will review the good things accomplished for the city by this worthy enterprise LINCOLN, NEB.
