VOLUME XII. Ex-Congressman M EX-CONGRESSMA POINTING W His Visit to the West one The Murray Doctrine --People go in Drove Fountain of L Every Negro should hear Ex- Congregman George W. Murray of South Carolina. He has the only solution of advancing the colored American. We have heard many prominent men of the race talk on various phases of the question that is confronting the Amorian people. He tells what is required to make leaders and to build up a race Race ideals and race leaderships are his strong forte. He has published a book on these subjects which should be read by everyone. In every place where he has spoken, people are calling for him to come back. He is rousing the manly and progressive Negro. Every community in the United States States should hear him. "On the so-called race problem of this country, many lectures, pro and con, have been delivered by members of both races, but no previous lecture has ever equalled in transcending importance to the making and unmaking of races and nations, the lecture which the ox-Congressman Jalalouwah 'Race Ideals.' "He is advancing an original line of thought on the race question, in which he deals with the elicite causes and remedy for the Arec American race troubles and all who read his 'Race Ideals or hear his matchlike lecture on this subject are impressed with the feeling that he has discovered the proper solution of the race problem. "Othora who have dealt with this vexed problem have treated it as either purely industrial or intellectual, and as such the friends and enemies of the Afro-American race both within and without that race are divided into two schools, the one advocating industrialism as the panacea, while the other is equally insistent that the panacea is wholly intellectual; but he has brought into the equation another quantity, the spiritual, or psychological man, and proves from his view point that the problem can never be solved with out taking this third quantity, the spiritual man, into consideration, "In fact, according to his philosophy, man is a composite being, a real trinity, consisting of industrial, physical, acting or doing man; intellectual, planning or devising man; and spiritual, psychological, ruling or master man. Of the three the most important is the most important is the last named, the spirit, the ruler or master man—any one of which may be developed at the cost of the other one or two. "He is proving beyond a shadow of doubt that the kind of man obtained depends absolutely upon the development of the spiritual man, which may be developed into a free independent, self respecting being, or into a servile, cowardly, self-depreciating being, according to the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 16, 1910. training had, and that the plan and purpose of the institution of slavery was to develop the members of the master class into belongs of the former class and members of the slave class into being of the latter class. and to put its plans into practical operation, and effect. All the educational institutions of the country both traditional and artificial were established with a view to the production and maintenance of the two distinct classes of being "This is seen no less in the difference between the environment and tradition of the two classes which was established with a view to incubating and perpetuating them, than in the system of acquired learning which was planned and devised not only to teach men how to live, but is interwoven with a cord of false philosophy from beginning to ending, intended to prove that the J. H. plave class is naturally inferior, made so by the God of Nature; and for that reason should be made subject to the master class. So that the training had and which still obtains in both the traditions and artificial system of education, developed both races to feel that the one is inferior and the other superior by nature which is utterly at variance with the declaration of independence and the principles of equality of citizenship which can never exist until the philosophy of the old school is not only set aside in the home, but in the school room, to the extent of even changing in many respects the very text books in which the youth of the country are being trained. All members of the Afro American race and its friends in the other race who to have a sane discussion, and we feel, solution of the so called race problem should make even a sacrifice to hear Ex Congreesman Murray, whose lecture is away out of the ordinary, and is in our judgment worth more than all the other so called lectures on this subject put together. Let all the leaders of thought within the race, both ministers and laymen unite in efforts to secure him the largest audiences possible everywhere, and in the changed thought and actions following his lectures resulting in the advancement of the race, they will rejoice." MAKING A GREATER OKLAHOMA! Manager Griffin Visits the Business Builders. Okmulgee is particularly known as the former capital of the Creek Nation, the seat of government of the old Creek, or Mushogee tribe. It is in the old council house, still standing and being used as the county court house of Okmulgee county, that the old Creek council held its meetings for the transaction of such business as they thought best for the interests of their people and to the worst interests of those where they thought desired to profit by trade with them or from the use of their lands for grazing or agricultural purposes. These people had popular laws and customs but they were happy in these days—at least they thought they were and we must take their words for the fact Okmulgee is situated on the Iris system, on that branch moving from Squilpa, Okla. to Shawan, Texas and with a branch road from Okmulgee to Pavetteville, Ark. via Muskogee, Okla. and in the finest agricultural section to be found in the eastern part of the state. There are a great number of Negroes in the county and the surrounding country and a very great number on these make Okmulgee their trading point, bringing thousands of dollars weekly into the city. The population of Okmulgee is about 5000 with a negro population of about one fourth of this number. The Negroes are prosperous and have a number of residences and business buildings that speak well for them as citizens in a new country. Many of them have money in the bank and a nice accumulation of farm property and live stock. The men hunts of Okmulgos are nice set of men to meet and appreciate the trade they have among the Negroes, extending to them every courtesy that would be expected under such conditions, except in a new state of society and conditions. There is a hope that Negro in Okmulgos county and in Okmulgos which is only limited to the ability of the Negro himself to take advantage of conditions as he finds them and an application of the cool feelings on those with whom he has looked. C W. WARD Among the very prominent men of Nigra descent in the state of Oklahoma, there are none more prominent than Mr. C. W. Ward, who counts a new dairy business two miles south of the city of Okmulgee, Mr. Ward has a large average of land in the state and his dairy business occupies one hundred of some of the most desirable land to be found in the county in which he lives. His land contains eighteen hect of choice cattle, which he is grading each year with the hope that within a few years he will have among the best herds of dairy cattle to be found in the state. Mr Ward has the confidence of his community, in which he has lived during his lifetime, and the percentage of his business, with the credit extended him by those with whom he has dealings is a nice testimonial to the only Negro dairyman in the city of Okmulgee Mr. Ward is a young man, of whom the people of his section are proud, and a young man with great promise for the future. His venture, as a dairyman opening up new avenues for the race, is a step that is to be endorsed by the people throughout his section and to be admired by the Negroes everywhere. Oklahoma is the state of great beginnings and the PLANDEALER has been the champion on every effort on race progress in the new state. In the policy of the Plandealer we have demonstrated the great beginnings and the possibilities of the state of Oklahoma and it with great pleasure that we will attention to the efforts of such young men as Mr. Ward, in opening up new lines of business that our people have refrained from coming in contact with, in opening up opportunities in the new state of Oklahoma. Mr. Ward has a nice little family consisting of a most estimable wife, a son and a daughter. He is taking a business course in the Lincoln Commercial College, of Nebraska. Mr. Ward states that he is thoroughly in accord with the ideas of Booker T. Washington, that the hope of the Negro lies in the fact that he must get closer to the soil, by getting more farms and developing them to their very highest capacity. Mr. Ward has just issued his annual calendar for his dary the product of a Negro printing office, and representing scenes from his own dary. These calendars are attractive and suggestive and are appreciated by those to whom they are given. NORTON BROTHERS Among the business men of Okmulgee, who have been instrumental in the making of a city known throughout the country for its wealth and resources, none are more conspirious than the Morton Brothers owners of "The Quality Stores" and their enterprise have been rewarded with a patronage that ranks among the best in the city. In this store can be found everything in the hues of Lalie's Wear, including shoes and gloves. The most prominent people of the city and county are upon the list of their patrons and their trade among the Negroes is the largest of any store in Okmulgee. It is the host of the Negroes of Okmulgee that the treatment received at this store is all that could be asked and it seems that they refer to this house with a pride when asked by strongers as to the proper place to trade. We are always pleased to say a word for such pleasant gentlemen as these, and to hope that their patronage may increase with the growth of their natural city which they have driven so fatally to make. The Morton building is one of the monuments of the progress of the city of Okmulgee, which one cannot忘却 in indisputable likeness only a few years ago was little traded point upon the prairie. In this great story, the active man agreement is under the direction of Mr Walter W. Morton general manager, who also assisted by his brother Mr Won P. Morton who attends to the wants of the people in way that makes trends and business in the institution BAKIR & MABRIY. The Big Department Store of Olympia, Oklahoma Oh Big Department Store of Okmulgee is the store of Baker & Malone. In this store may be found the most complete line of 18 happenings and fine quality clothing for men and boys, at the usual insurable prices. In connection with this line they carry long cigarette smoking pikes, mittels and plum hammersets in boxes suitable for holiday and birthdays, celer boxes and cases traveling bags, gloves, vests and a long list of other good-suitable for gentlemen's wear. This firm is among the big firms of the city and they have a good trade among the No go people of Okmulgee and Vanity, which they appreciate by giving them that genteel treatment which is only guaranteed by that class of business men who are not only thorough buyers but thorough sellers, insisting to each customer a hearty welcome, polite service and the very best values for the money. This house enjoys the confidence of the people generally and the colored people speak in the highest terms of the Big Department Store, and they have good reasons to do so. BOLEY. OKLA. The cotton soo not Baby is just coming to a close and the three cotton gins at this place have received their share of the crop. The 11 Taylor gin has ginned about 1,500 bales, the Perry & Young Gin Co. have ginned over 2,000 bales, and the King Gin, the smallest in capacity of the three gins, has ginned about 600 bales. Besides these gins there are two Negro gins in the country which have ginned about 300 bales. These figures will give an idea of the condition of the farmers in this section, especially when we estimate the value of this product at an average price of 14 cents per pound for the acre. NUMBER 50 son and the bales at an average of 600 pounds. The cotton buyers in Boley are Negroes and they have all done a nice business for the season. One buyer showed us a draft for ten thousand dollars, the amount of business done by him with a single firm. These buyers do not buy upon commissions for the wholesale buyers, but do a legitimate business upon their own resources and with their own money, taking their own chances as speculators. There is only one bank in the town of Boley, The Punners & Merchants Bank, of which J. H. Williamson is president, T. M. Haynes is vice president, and D. J. Turner is cashier. These are all Negroes, who conduct their business upon the same system that other banks are conducted and whose institution is under the same legal rules and regulations as are all the banks of the state of Oklahoma and whose business is inspected at stated times by the state bank examiner JAS H. STEPHENSON, MERCHANT, OF BOLEY, OKLA The leading general merchant of Boley is Mr. Jas Stephenson a native of the state of Lewis. He came to Boley from Paris, Tex., August 20, 1905, and since which time he has been active in the business affairs of the town. He has been in business for himself since 1906, first opening business as manager of the Chiles Mercantile to which did a thriving business until destroyed by fire. Later, Mr. Stephenson opened a grocery store for the accommodation of the country trade, which has grown until today. Mr. Stephenson handles his goods in carload lots and accommodates the small dealer, at prices that save him the freight and expense of sending their orders into the large centers. Mr. Stephenson is a Boley booster and is always ready to give his time and money to any effort to place Boley before the people as the best place on earth for the Negro to live. C. M. BROOKS. DRY GOODS One of the most famous boys doing business in Oklahoma is M. Brooks, dealer in dry goods, machinery and other goods. Mr. Brooks is doing a new business in his line and is also one of the good farmers of his section. He learned to ride the horse stalk of which he made in bales the year Mr. Brooks liked bales and spends of his adventures in the valley highest towns. OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA Oklahoma City is building city in the far end of the present time by doing more politics for the Democratic party than anything else. In this center, Negroes are doing well and the relations between them and the white people come to be even more pleasant than before the passage of the famous Grandmother Clause. Oklahoma City is a wealthy place on its size and the evidences of prosperity are seen on every side. PEOPLES DRUG CO One of the most places of business owned by Negroes in Oklahoma, is the People Drug Store of Oklahoma City. The innings and turnings of this store are strictly up to date and are a credit to the ability of the gentleman who are members of the company. The business of this company is in the charge of Prof. I. W. Bruner, a graduate of Hapton Institute, who acts in the capacity of manager. Prof. Bruner is also one of the instructors in Douglas High School, off that city. He is the son of T. L. Bruner, who owns 1400 acres of land in Seminole county. Mr. Bruner is secretary of the Masonia Lodge of Oklahoma City and a wife awake and enterprising young man. His acquaintance throughout the state is wide and he counts his tries in all sections and with all classes of people. He is a native of that part of Oklahoma formerly known as the Seminole Nation, and comes on one of the most prominent families of that nation, whose names have been connected with the history of that tribe for many years. Mr. Bruner is a pleasant gentleman to meet and his information upon matters that affect the Negro throughout the state makes his conversations interesting. He is always pleased to meet strangers in his city and they are always Continued on Page 4. MUSKOGEE OKLA. A Good Place foo the Negro to Live and Work in Any Kind of Business.

For twenty-two years and five months I have been one of the bishops of the African M. E church During that time I have had charge of Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida. South Carolina, held one session of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Deleware, New Jersey, New York, New England, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Canada, Bermuda Islands, Nevada, Utah, California, Washington, Oregon, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, and West Coast of Africa. I think the travel and labors of the last seven years on the Fifth district have tested my energies and physical strength more than any of the others. During the present year we reached a Conference in pretty good condition. As the prize however, I contricted a good, which became asthmatic in its effect. Now I had my physical constitution quite weak, my breathing apparent quite un satisfactory with weak heart and my weight twenty pounds less than normal. I once boarded a ship over six hundred feet long in New York for Liverpool. The captain ordered that all the ropes holding the ship o the wharf be unloosed except the two at the gangway and after way ing, "All aboard," he called out to the second mate, "Haul in the gang way." This will give you an idea of my condition. It is only the gangway ropes that have to be unloosed and this done in a short time my little bark will anchor on the eternal shore amid the golden glories of my sunset, where the lashing waves have been beating for countless ages. In the spray of these waves rainbows appear to be the border lard of an unseen world and above these I seem to hear a humming music which charm the attention of my hearing beyond it. I cannot doubt my eagerness as I have been going through tion for over forty years nearer I approach the great I feel. Of course none know what the future may be. If my father wants me to serve longer on earth, He will spare my life; if not, He will take me to Himself. I am ready for other world.

Because invitations are issued to what is supposed to be a select few does not remove the stamp of "public" if you pay as you enter. Speaking of real social clubs, the "H. H. Girls" are leaders. Their annual "party" is fit to grace the palace of a king, and their guests are entertained without any charge whatever. Now the "Jolly Twenty." composed of young ladies propose to outdo the "H. H. Girls" Christmas week. This is real social and create the young talent from 10 to 47. The strangest thing of all the calls of young men ever entertain uncles so much per cent charged at the door. A few evenings ago about forty of the "younger set" (boys) assembled for the purpose of making all part noonal events pale into insignificence. When the president announced that each member would be arreed $2, and that everything was to be free—every mother's son, save three backed up simply because there was no chance to realize a few pennies. How much longer do the girls intend to dig down into their pockets and pay for the pleasure of such a cheap bunch? --- The killing of Tom Kendler Saturday on East Fighteenth street in South Poplar by John Jackson at the home of the latter via a cold blooded attack.

Okla.. is a beautiful little town located on the Frisco railroad Here we found an enterprise thrifty set of bust. 100m and a few miles of our zone 100 miles and a space on earth Liver one has the well re of the community at heart, which accounts for their real growth and prosperous condition A. W ENNIS has a retail dry goods, clothing, shoes and grocery business that would do credit to a city three times the size of Beggs. Mr. Ennis is a thorough business man, having recently come here from St.Joseph. Mo., and has drawn a wide circle of friends around him among all classes. He is specializing Ben Hur Flour" and making quite an inducement for his customers. F II FRAKES conducts a general merchandise store. He came here about three years ago from Indiana, and now has one of the clearest and best stockh of clothing, dry goods and grocers on the market. His motto is a square deal for everyone which has placed him in the front rank of new state business men.

Her stores and business houses are modern, filled with the best the O, K, PEt K, Carbler market affords and the men and women at the helm are enthusiastic boosters, who are not afraid to put a dollar in advertising. This method has placed Mushogce in line with the live, progressive cities of the country. MUSKOGEE NATIONAL BANK is one of the great institutions of the city. The bank is located in the Iowa building, corner of Okmulgee and Second streets, where they do a general business. This bank has a capital stock of $100 000 with deposits amounting to $479,111,03 and an earned surplus of $50 000. The cashier of this institution is one of the real live men of the city of Muskogee. Mr A. C. Trumbo has been an active worker for the upbuilding of the city, and no man in the state is more liberal in his service to the community than Mr Trumbo. He is one of the boosters for Muskogee and spend time and money freely to that end. Mr. Trumbo is a gentleman who is friendly to the existing of our rice and has considerable designs with them in various ways. He has large tracts of farm land some of which are cultivated by Negroes and through him many Negroes have been able to accumulate will be to buy their homes and around Muskogee. And the Negroes always have a good word to say for Mr Trumbo, in appreciation of his square dealing with them. S'OUTHERN HAY AND GRAIN COMPANY. The Southern Hay and Grain Company of Muskogee, is one of the firms of the city which employs Negro help. Mr. Joe. T. Mansons formerly of Nashville, Tenn., is a trusted employee of this firm.

They also handle all kinds of feedstuff, including cotton seed meal and mill products. This company makes a specialty of consignments of hay, corn, oats and other feed stuff. Those who have carload lots of this class of stuff will find it to their advantage to get in touch with the house, as they have as good market with facilities to handle this class of stuff as can be found anywhere in the Southwest. They are fine people to deal with and we take pleasure in recommending them to our friends. OKLAHOMA AUTO SUPPLY COMPANY. While in Muskogee, we had the pleasure to meet Mr. J. H.

P. J. BROWN. President sonally went with Mr. Escoe upon the test trip to Lawrence to demonstrate the durability of the machine, which made the trip from Muskogee to Lawrence in 18 hours without a mishap. The Negroes of Oklahoma are turning their attention to the automobile as an investment and we would suggest to those who are in very close distance of Muskogee, to take the matter of automobiles up with Mr. Hoffman and his company, who will take pains to demonstrate the advantages of their machines and give any information that will be in keeping with their line of business. They have automobiles to sell and do all kinds of repair work on machines, with a competent force, under the direct supervision of Mr. Hoffman. LAWRENCE, KAN.

The City Federation of Women's Clubs, organized a few months since by Mrs. J. S. Yates, President Missouri State Federation, with Mrs. B. F. Allen, the genial and accomplished wife of Lincoln Institute's esteemed President, as its President, gave its first entertainment on Friday night, December 9th, in the form of a song recital by Madame Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, assisted by Madame Mothin, Department of Elocution, and Miss Myrtle Burgess, Department of Instrumental Music, Lincoln Institute. A large and appreciative audience greeted these artists and the entertainment was in every sense of the term a marked success. Each number brought forth repeated encores. The boxes, occupied by the Federation President, Mrs. Allen, her officers and several of the lady teachers, presented a scene of beauty long to be remembered. It would be difficult to specify the best selections of the evening in an all-star program, but perhaps Don't Thou Know That Sweet Land, Madam Brown, scene from Leah the Forsaken, Madam Motinlly and Rhapsodie Hongroise, Miss Burgess, brought forth the greatest amount of applause. The City Federation is to be congratulated upon its excellent entertainment and its members are very grateful to Dr. Allen for the very hearty co-operation, which contributed so much to the general success. ```markdown ``` ie
