TOPEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XII. The Foxy Governor Continues to Draw on His Over worked Imagination in an Effort to Deceive the People. Stubbs continues playing to the grandstand. He told the Christian workers in their convention last week that a brewer had his son in Kansas trying to defeat prohibition. This story, like many others told by him, is an assumption of the Governor's vivid imagination. He wants to make it appear that he is the only man in Kansas that enforces the lawr He likes to be the great "I am" but there are others who are watching and understand his game thoroughly. No one speaks very highly of him as being fair. A vote for Hodges means prosperity and less friction! STUBBS LOSING GROUND. Reports from over the state show that Hodges will receive thousands of Republican votes and the Democrats and Populists are supporting to a man. Look out for surprises. The people are getting tired of grand-stand players. Dolley and Stubbs can't fool the people all the time. The two ring circus will soon be at an end, the people will vote for Kansas and prosperity. Hodges stands for a reduction in taxes. He is not an experimeutal candidate but a real business man who knows how to maintain the dignity of Kansas HUTCHINSON, KANS Every member and friend of the C. M. E. church is doing his part in getting the church in readiness for the dedication which will be Sunday, October 30th. Bishop Lane will be here to dedicate the church. George Calender had charge of the cement work. The church has been made beautiful by painting and papering. Much credit is due the members and pastor of the church. They now have the largest and finest Negro chu.ch in Hutchinson. Rev. Nichols, the new A. M. E pastor, is at his post and from all appearances he will make good this conference year. There was some of the members at church who had not been present for six months The Hutchinson Negro Business League proposes to open a bank in a few months. On account of not being able to get the G. A. R hall on the evening of the 27th, the 20th is the date when Hon. T. W. Bell of Leavenworth will tell us all about the Republican and Democratic parties. All should hear him. Hon. N. C. Crews writes the reporter that he is coming to Hutchinson some time this winter and tell us what the Negro farmers are doing in Missouri. Mr. Goodbar of Topeka is building TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 21, 1910. a cottage for his daughter, Mrs E H. Adams. Walter Bell is much better after being confined to his room two weeks with rheumatism Rev. Bates of Moncon, Mo. has been called to the pastorate of the Tabernacle Baptist church, R.v. J. D. Morrow having resigned to accept the pastorate of a church at Garden City Rev Bates is an able speaker and a good pastor Mrs Allison has returned home after a three weeks pleasure trip, visiting Fort Scott and other points in Eastern Kansas. Should K. C. Beck, the Democratic nominee for Sheriff, receive the Negro vote of Reno county? He should not. He is not entitled to a single Negro vote. Ber' says that he loves the Negro, and if elected sheriff will do great things for him. Why has he not been doing something for the Negro already? He is the owner of Riverside Park; he has a number of people working for him; why does he not employ a few Negroen? He admits the Negro to his park and the Negro pays his 10 cents admission the same as any one else. ATCHISON, KAN. Mrs Fred Jackson entertained a number of friends Thursday afternoon, in honor of Mrs Perro Garnett. Games were played after which an elaborate two course luncheon was served.

Rev J W Mance, new pastor of the A M E church, preached an excellent sermon Sunday The members are very well pleased with him. Several of our young people attended a reception in Arkansas City Thursday The ladies of the A M E church organized an aid society Friday The young peoples' Industrial union met Thursday evening at the 2nd Baptist church and a splendid progran was rendered FAKE INSURANCE COMPANY! The Knights and Ladies of Protection Continue to Fleece the People. We have sounded a note of warning to the colored people to be beware of a fake order, the Knights and Ladies of Protection, an order destined to rob the poor, hard-working men, women and children. They should not be permitted to operate another minute. The insurance commissioner is aware that they are weak and prying upon the innocent for existence. They owe several hundred dollars they cannot and will not pay. We are at a loss to know just how long the officers will permit this wild cat, get-rich-quick skin game to exist. When a loss occurs they hedge around to beat the beneficiary out of part of the money. No one seems to know anything about the running of the game but the president. He keeps the books and the headquarters at his law office. The idea of the insurance commissioner permitting this concern to issue thousands of dollars worth of policies with about $500 in the treasury with which to pay the claims. They can pay. We can name policies where shey "turned" the people in great shape. They aim to pay enough to keep the people from squealing. If the insurance commissioner fails to act the government should investigate and deprive them from the use of the mails. J. G. Groves, the treasurer knows nothing of the working of the order—just in it to grab his share when the concern goes broke. James Mason, the vice-president, knows less and Rev. C. G Fishback, the secretary, never wrote a line in the books and does only the things he is told. He too is waiting for the poor Negro to drop and get his share. It will pay one to read the report of 1908 in which several untruthful statements will be found. SPRINGFIELD, MO. The twentieth annual session of the Women's Baptist State Association, an auxiliary of the Missouri Negro Baptist convention, was called to order at the Washington Avenue Baptist church, at 9 a.m., on Tuesday, October 11, by the president, Mrs C R McDowell of Hamnbal, no.

Response was made in behalf of the home ladies by Mrs. Bertha B. Cooper, president of the club. She said that their coming to our city had been a blessing; that to see them working so ardently for the Master and the uplift of the race, was an inspiration and encouraged us to greater efforts. She spoke of our noble women, assisted by the men, and the work they were doing raising funds to erect a much needed hospital. At the conclusion she received many promises of help from the noble women of the convention. Dr J H Garnett, president of the Western college at Macon, delivered a deep, scholarly sermon at Gibson chapel on Sunday evening.

To the Colored People of Kansas and elsewhere: Beware of the Knights and Ladies of Protection, an order that has robbed several colored people, and will rob many more if they continue to live up to its mandates. They are duping the hard working women and men of the race. James H. Guy is the president, J. G. Groves treasurer Rev Fishback, secretary, holds the office only in name. He knows nothing of the internal workings of the order. They are sending agents over the state, fleeing the people. The Insurance Commissioner ought to stop them. He said if they had been a white order they would have been stopped long ago They ought to be stopped. That is no reason why they should be allowed to dupe and rob the poor Negro. We warn the race to beware of this wild cat skin game. Mrs Ingraham of Helena, Mont., is expected in the city soon, to be the guest of Dr. and, Mrs W. S. Carrion.

After a hard days toil a Tupaku father (one of the old school) pushed back in his easy chair, not occasionally on the conversation being carried on by his two children; now and then would care in a word and doze off. Presently, the girl remarked to her brother "I just won't, it would be a white elephant on my hands," at this point the old gentleman aroused, his eyes showing fall and bright, and queried, "Law me, daughter where is the elephant?"

In order for anything great to succeed, it must have the confidence of its people accompanied by some money. In the great State Capitol Campaign, 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.

SIX TOPEKA, KAK. Bakery and Shippers TOPEKA, KANSAS Where Was Governor Stubbs? Governor Sends the great reformer and leading everything in children at good or bad. Knows, please tell the voters of Kansas and the Christian in Lich as people, where were you early Sunday morn- ing, July 11, 1852 when P. P. Vinegar, George Robertson and Isaac King, three colored men, were lynched from the Kaw River bridge at Laxtence, by a mob. For us where were you at 11 o'clock, Sunday morning of that day. Were you at church? We await your answer. If you can't never lee your Solomon private secretary, Dave Lowy, answer, who sometimes knows everything for you and that you don't know. From what we hear it looks as though you might have a guilty knowledge of taking a hand in the American white man's favorite pastime, lynching Negroes. Your career and your associations point strongly to your guilt. A few people of Lawrence have suspicioned you since it happened. You were a little wild and woolly about that time championing that for which you will ask the next Legislature to send men to the penniten. tiary. For, of course, whiskey dwell freely the night that sport of lynching was put on by either you or your friends. We can see how readily you see the harm in old man John. We heard some very straight news about your being suspected in connection with the lynching. Dear Governor, tell us where you were on the Lord's day, early Sunday morning of June 11th, 1992, when Peter Vinegar, George Robertson and Isaac King were lynched of the Kaw River bridge. If you can show the people how you became a millionaire within twenty-five years, and say you came by it honestly, after your career in Lawrence, we will vote for you. People, don't be bad off after this haunted reformer, his ill-gotten gains haunt him. Misery loves company, and he thinks all corporations have done like him The Scriptures say, give all you have, (if dishonestly obtained) and follow Christ. Stubbs has not done so WICHITA, KANS.
