THE OPEKA PLAINDEALER Prove Your Loyalty to the Race by Voting Against Sam Zimmerman for County Clerk DON'T BE DECEIVED! Stubbs and Dolley are Using Every Means to Fool the People. The voters of Kansas should not be deceived by Stubbs and Dolley—the two political jokes of the season. We asked the Governor repeatedly to tell the people of his connection with the lynching of three Negroes at Lawrence on June 11, 1882. Up to this time he has been as mute as a mouse. Would you vote for a man who is guilty of participating in a lynching? Go to the polls and vote for Senator George Hodges, a clean business man for governor. Ex-Gov. Saint John says that he was working for prohibition in Kansas when Stubbs's railroad camp was selling whiskey. Wesuggest that next time the Governor opens up a camp that he make Dolley general manager. He is past master of the John Barleycorn brigade. VOLUME XII DON'T BE Stubbs and Dolley Means to Foo The voters of Kansas should Dolley—the two political jokes of We asked the Governor rep connection with the lynching of June 11, 1882. Up to this time mouse. Would you vote for a man with a lynching? Go to the polls and a clean business man for govern that he was working for prohibit railroad camp was selling whisky the Governor opens up a camp manager. He is past master of THAT GRAFT ORDER The Knights and Ladies of Protection Continue Their Skin Game. We are still on the trail of the fake order, Knights and Ladies of Protection. People are quitting them; won't stand to be duped. Their sick and accident hold-up policy beats the James gang and is enough to make the Daltons turn over in their graves. Some of the gang swore out a warrant for the arrest of the editor of this paper in Kansas City charged with malicious libel. We went down Monday to have it served but found no one who knew where it was. The sheriff's force did not know, neither was it known at the county attorney's office what had become or it. We told them to look it up as we wanted it served. Hardworking people, beware of the fake order, the Knights and Ladies of Protection, headquarters as the office of James H. Guy, the president, Topeka. Jim Mason is vice president, J G Groves, treasurer and Rev. C G Fishback, secretary. The secretary does not keep the books, knows nothing about the order, allowing them to use his name for a purpose No Christian minister should allow his members to be duped by such methods. The order has policies amounting to thousands and has only about $500 in the treasury with which to pay them. We can prove what we say. "And he went into the temple and overturned the tables of the moneychangers and drove them from the place" So are we. A CALL FROM MACEDONIA. For help. Another grafting concern. We want the people to take notice. Duncan, Okla, October 28th, 1910. Dear Editor: Please allow space in your valu: able paper for this statement: The so called American Eagle Society with headquarters at Chicka sha, Okla., is simply a disgrace to the colored race. In the first place the supreme officers are bootleggers and stand for nothing. I want to warn the colored, people of Kansas to beware of such a society. Their agents have been all over the state --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 4, 1910. of Oklahoma gratting the poor ignorant Negro's money from him. I will further state that they are doing business in Oklahoma against the insurance laws of the state. We should see to it that such men get out of the country. They have defrauded thousands of poor widows in Oklahoma, so it they come to Kansas, turn such grafters down I will further ask the public to investigate the society, to write the best citizens of Chickasha; they will inform you that my statement is true, and that the supreme officers are grafters and bootleggers. B Escott. A WARNING. Chanute, Kansas, October 9th, '10. Dear Editor: I wish to warn the people through your paper of one C. F. Jones, who is traveling over the country swindling the people out of their money, setting up a lodge known as the B. O. of G. S. He is nothing but a fake. Yours, W. SIOVAIL, A. BROWN, C. SHELTON R 2, B I 2, Chanute, Kans. Replies to Senator Bristow The following article appeard in the Topeka Daily Capital this morning: To the Editor of the Capital. I read in Thursday morning's Capital where one Joseph Bristow, now United States senator from Kansas, refers to President Ripley, of the San'a Fe, as my inferior in politics. It seems that the senator's idea is to belittle Mr. Ripley by underestimating his ability. Along with many other people, I believe that had Mr. Ripley or the writer been in the United States senate, either would have exercised enough judgment to at least have secured the appointment of a crossroads postmaster, and also had sense enough to have voted for one on the many good measures offered in the senate. I further believe that both Mr. Ripley and myself compare as favorably with the people as some of the "great lights" whose cause is at present being espoused in Kansas and elsewhere by the senator. Any one desiring to know the power of the senator's political ability can get full particulars by writing President Tait. NICK CHILES, Editor TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Our Saint Joseph Trip. We visited St. Joseph, Mo., several days ago. This city is one of the wealthiest in the West. It has more jobbing houses than handsome City and vies with St Louis. Found the colored people there, the rank and file, about as usual, moving no faster but, if anything, a little slower. The Drs, seem to be doing fine. Drs. Crossland, Carion and Ricketts are the leading physicians of the town. Dr McAllister, the dentist is doing well. J H Ramsy the undertaker, has been in business five years and doing fine. Dr. C. S. Wheatly the chiropodist and manicurist, has the cream of the town as his customers and a fine office in the heart of the town. L. E. Perry is one of the most successful second men in the West. He manufactures mattresses; and in fact is a thorough business man. We wish we had more like him in the West. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Walker own one of the finest confectionery, bakery, ice cream and soda water businesses in the West, in their own building, a two story brick. Mr. Walker is one of the best colored men in St. Joseph. Prof. Harry Robinson has a beautiful park, with modern conveniences, moving pictures and vaudeville. He also manufactures hair braids, wigs, puffs, and other hair goods. M. D Lowry, the tailor, is a success. His business has grown to more than he can do. Cleaning and dyeing is his principal strength. A. D. Harts is with the United States Savings Bank, and writes fire insurance. We are proud to note a man of the race in that line. Miss Bearrice Swinny is our correspondent and agent, 2515 Jones St. A drug store would do well if the colored people would quit fighting. A grocery store, well conducted, would do well. A laundry would pay and a blacksmith shop do well. St. Joseph has a good class of white people and will help a worthy business enterprise operated by colored people. The colored man is at fault to a large extent for his backwardness in St Joseph. J H Evans was elected at Detroit Imperial Keeper of the Oriental Pass. He is one of the greatest lodge men in the West. SPRINGFIELD, MO. Mrs. Catherine Kelly, deceased, practically willd all the property belonging to her estate to the A M E church, the Washington Avenue Baptist church, and a Negro Institution.

Next meeting the quotations will be from the book of Psalms. Adjourned to meet with Mrs Nancy J Layton November 9. Mrs Fletcher, wife of Henry M. Fletcher, mail clerk, passed away at her home Thursday morning Oct. 27 at 12:25 o'clock. She had been complaining for several months but was visiting with friends in StLouis when her husband was hurriedly summoned there by her sudden, serious illness. She returned with him but continued to grow weaker and after lingering for three weeks passed to the great beyond. She was laid in a beautiful conch casket of pale laverder shade interlined with cream, looking as though she had just fallen asleep. A large floral crown of pink and white roses with the gift of loving friends. Other friends gave a profusion of flowers and seren. Mrs Hibson, her sister, arrived in time to accompany the remains to Hogan Arkham, the home of her parents. Much communication is due Mrs Pagmore for her careful nursing of the deceased Mrs Fletcher, whose age was but 24, leaves a husband, mother, father, several sisters a brother and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Lewis C Edmondson entertained at his home 624 Cherry street Sunday afternoon, his Sunday School class, composed of about ninety young minnes. The dining room was handmoney decorated and on the table, from which ran strings of hearts and flowers, at a pumpkin filled with fruit, and each minn following a string found in venir at the end.

The services were held Sunday after noon at Pitts chapel Rev DeBoe preaching, and were very largely attended. Deceased was a mason of long and good standing and the services were under the auspices of that fraternity. Mrs Parker has the NUMBER 44 kindest sympathy of her friends as she herself has been in poor heath for several years. She and family returned to Kansas City. The Queen City court No 64 mrs M E Dorary ancient matron, held impressive memorial services Sunday afternoon in memory of Sister Luoy A Delaney.

True, he has to do the bidding of the bosses, but the colored voters will pay him no mind as the majority of them will cast their votes for Mr. Hodges. PROHIBITION. On the eve of the impending election to be held in Missouri, November 8, it is important that our fellow-citizens carefully consider the aspects of Prohibition as they are daily evidenced in States where the prohibitory law is now in effect figuratively if not literally. Most important of the various questions to be decided by the voter Nov. 8th is the one of State Wide Prohibition as proposed in Amendment No.10. Patrick Henry said: "We have no way of judging the future except by the past." Certainly Missourians have no way of judging the effect of Prohibition in this state, except by Knowledge of what the effect of Prohibition has been in the past in other states. In Kansas prohibition has promoted more drunkenness than exists in states where prohibition has never been agitated. In Oklahoma prohibition is a farce and it is an open secret that illicit saloons in the cities are as thick as bootleggers and blind pigs in the country towns and there are twice as many of either as there are saloons where prohibition is unknown. In Tennessee saloons run openly in absolute disregard of the prohibitory statute and the flagrant defiance of the law is condoned by the people for the same reason that in fraction of the law, more covertly, is the rule everywhere where prohibition is written on the statute books. In Muskogee whiskey is received in 100 case lots by one man and resold to as many bootleggers who distribute it all over the city. The State, the county, and the City are cheated of the tax, and the grafting politician is enriched through this scandalous state of affairs. We could go down the line and enumerate many other states suffering and writhing under the bludgeon of Prohibition. The people are rapidly becoming acquainted with, the true facts and we will have a tremendous "Wet" majority in Missouri. Just because there are a few weak minded persons at large is no good reason why the great majority of sound minded and reputable citizens should be made felons. --- There is another phase to this situation which demands the attention of our race and fellow-men. Do you not realize that it is prohibitionists in Oklahoma are responsible for the recent passage of the infamous law known as the "Grand-father law." It is the prohibitionists every where who are trying to disfranchise the Negro in order that they may rob him of his liberty. Prohibition, being in itself despotism, it seeks to try anize. Prohibition seeks to rob our race of the liberty to drink as we please and in the same breath give the white man the privilege of drinking what he pleases, for he can and does stock his cellars with thousands of dollars worth of wines, sometimes imported, which is impossible for our people to do on account of their poverty. We are told that white women are now visiting the homes of the colored population in Missouri inducing the male mem- bers to vote for prohibition, when this is done the next step will be a "Jim Crow" or Grand-father law" in Missouri, and it will be headed and pushed along by these same women and same prohibitionists. None of us can afford for an instant to vote for any law which takes from us the smallest degree of our liberty for which we paid so dearly. Prohibition will be the greatest wedge to destroy our liberties and endanger our franchise. HUTCHINSON. Hon T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth, spoke at the G. A. R.

Information. Prof. Hawkins for Bowen EDITOR PLAINDBALER: No greater pleasure could be accorded me than saying a word in behalf of Prof. I). M. Bowen, candidate for state superintendent, as I have served as principal and supervisor of the colored schools under him for nearly ten years, and I have always found him thoroughly alive to the interest of our race, also conservative and totally unbiased. It is due to his conservative and unprejudiced administration that the present harmony exists between the whites and blacks in our high school. In fact our people appreciate his former services so much that they have banded themselves M. H. PROF DAVID BOWEN. together into an organization, known as the "Bowen Club," and every member intends to cast their vote for him, as the office of state superintendent has been removed from politics, and furthermore this third term idea does not impress us as a very plausible one. I have known him the entire time during his superintendency and I never knew him to give our race anything other than a square deal. You will find him the same at all times, a perfect gentleman, honest, thoroughgoing, fair, conservative and actively alive to the interest of both races.
