THOMAS, Clerk of District Court, Shawnee County, Ks. M. C. HOLMAN. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our many readers to the fact that one of the efficient members of the City Commission is Mr. M. C. Holman, who looks after the parks. He is one of the most successful business men in Topeka and is using his most excellent business experience in a manner that is proving highly satisfactory to all the people. He is as deeply interested in the people's welfare as though it is a personal matter. The commission form of government is a new thing and many predicted that it would be a failure, but the successful manner in which Mr Holman has conducted the department of yarks clearly demonstrates that it is the only system of municipal government when entrusted to the proper hands. The sanitary condition of the city is in first class soope—the parks likewise, and the laboring people may rest assured that more parks will be added in their localities at an early date. We commend Mr. Holman's effort . - which has given eminent satisfaction and he should be retained on the commission. ```markdown ``` Passed to a Higher Life. The death of Mrs. Lulu Grant wife of Bishop A. Grant, at the Episcopal residence, 532 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Saturday, about seven o'clock p.m., was a sad shock to the community. While she had been ailing for months she was in fair health considering all circumstances surrounding her condition Her beloved husband has been seriously ill for some time. Little did he expect that she would pass away before he did. He had made all arrangements for her care the balances of her life, believing she would outlive him She was a devoted wife and a Christian lady. Her former husband was the late Bishop Armstrong of the A M E church. She was fifty eight years of age. The funeral was held from the First A M E church. Rev O E Jones, pastor, and Bishop Lee officiating. Her body was placed in a vault in Woodlawn cemetery in Kansas City, later to be taken to San Antonio, Texas, the final resting place The bishop has the sympathy of the entire country in his hours of bereavement Though very sick, he says he does not hope to recover, yet all are hoping to see him live to carry out many of the good things planned for the betterment of mankind Death has broken up a home that was a refuge of the poor and distressed as well as for the ministers and laymen who sought the kindness of the good bishop and his devoted wife, who always had a kind word for everyone. Never have we in all the years of our acquaintance with her read one word of complaint or criticism of anybody. All can say that a good true woman of high Christian ideas has gone to her ward and will have no account to give of any wrong done to any one during her fifty-eight years on earth Peace to her ashes' OUR TRIP. We were the guest of Col J B Fleming and wife Sunday, the 8th Mr A D Griffin was with us Mrs Fleming and her sister, Mrs Brown assisted by the colonel, have a large poultry yard. They raised over one thousand chickens last year with an incubator. They have several varieties, all in separate pens, also fine chicken houses, all modern. They began last May and are making money. We ate chicken until we were归宿 to see one for several days. Mrs. Fleming and her sister are experts on the cooking of good wholesome food. Mrs Brown would make any good man's home happy, and him also. Mr Sidney thelps is conducting one of the finest barbershops in St. Joseph at 210 Francis street. He has three chairs, all up to date. He is the baseball magnate of St. Joseph and his team will be ready when the season opens up. The Knights Templar of St. Joseph should wake up. There are enough young men in that town to support a good drill team. It is a shame the way the colored people of that city carry on. They are almost NUMBER 3 as badly off as their fore parents who were in slavery. We are quite ashamed of them. Duille Paxton is quite sick at his room on Vine off Twelfth street. His many friends hope to see him out soon. Little Iupena, the five weeks old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lannes Gayden, is a humner. She entertains the whole family, We attended services at Her J. A.

Klopfer at Market ltry, Game, cs. TOPEKA, KANSAS Facts That Should Now Be Patent to All. It should now be manifest or patient to all thinking persons, that the chief cause of continued failure and want of progress among Afro-American business men and, in consequence, the continued low economic condition of the race, is because its members are unconsequently incumbered with, and hindered by, habits, customs and spirit which long years of training developed in them for the benefit of others; and which in the absence of such countervailing training and influence are not found with in their homes, nor provided for in their schools, must indefinitely continue to reproduce their past and present low economic conditions, and, in consequence, low social and political status. Because the parentage of the race was, under the stavish propaganda denied its natural right to birth and trade in its own production and consumption which would have kept its thoughts and convoy. People had never stepped to consider that the foundation for a business life springs from the home from the trail rather than the school; that it is the conversation and habits of the parentage which I veto. M. In consequence the ambition of the young, rather than the school, whose place in the civilization of all races, is only to fit the young to carry out their plan of civilization or the traditions of their race We feel assured that a more enlightened public will regard his work as a epoch making er in our race development; as the real beginning of the end of habits, customs, manners and a spirit born, so they open, to make a high condition or number of the white race, and a low condition for members of our race; and the beginning of content or thought which will produce habits customs, manners and a spirit which will ultimately enable Aro Americans to secure and retain their rightful places of economical, political and social equality amid the res of mankind. This work is bearing immediate fruit which, in the very nature of things, to bound to mercies in quantity and quality from year to year, until its enormous fruitage covers the country from ocean to ocean. The business and professional classes are the immediate target and an interest of the hard-working servants which I have conceived Murray rendering the race, and they should have no stone unmounted nor be too to give him the largest audiences possible everywhere In his rural life work he is not furnishing a cheap show, or a jest, for the mere amusement in the foolish and unthinking, childlike members of the race, but in furnishing subservient thought, or substintial food, which when consumed in sufficient quantity is capable of producing the highest manhood of the human race. Let all who are perplexed over the cause of the differences observed between white and black people in this country, should attend his lectures and closely give car to what is said. They will come away with many a little problem solved to their satisfaction. FIRST NATIONAL BANK KINGFISHER, OKLA. Money to Loan at All Times on Good Security CAPITAL AND SURPLUS, $60,000.00 A. J.

Oklahoma The Kansas legislatu is now in session and with it comes the usual freaks and unreconstructed rebels; each thinking that the responsibilities of this great commonwealth rests upon his shoulders. The fellow who imagines he cannot bear to look at a woman above the knee therefore wants no exposure of her form save that portion known as the "patella." His proposed bill would stop the circus rider, trapez performers and beautiful chorus girls whom nature has molded after God's own likeness. To speak plainly, the author of this bill is a fit subject for the insane asylum and the people who sent him here to assist in making laws are not much better. Another solon whom Solomon would probably have placed in a mad house had be lived in his day, wants to get popular. He is championing a black law. The races in Kansas are at peace and attending strictly to their own business. We have not heard of any white women wanting black husbands nor of colored women wanting white husbonds, therefore such agitation serves only to stir up feeling and the one who does such is a traitor to human progress. No Christian gentleman would resort to such a low thing. Such a bill is a disgrace to the white woman of any stat or clime as its insane author admits that it takes a law to prevent their sting block husbands. No woman will the least spark self-respect and woman one would think of marrying a grocer nor write a colored man with the same amount of respect seek such a marriage. He has too many cultured and riched ladies in his own race to choose from and the same can be said of colored women. He father of this all need a good, sound thriving or a cost of tar and feathers toll there is it er wise one He imagines that railroads should operate at a loss, that the people being robbed. He therefore wants utility rows in order to et me more job and build up the gang's machine so they can perch each other in office It is a pity that Kansas has been made the dumping grounds for the off-falls of the world They canjure up all kinds of schemes and when enacted into laws work a hardship on the masses who are robbed through the tax system in order to keep these cranks in clover. Will the good people of Kansas ever catch on? THE PASSING OF GEORGE WALKER. The last of George (Nash) Walker means much to the col- ored race in America as well as the stage. He developed within himself a character which will be hard for another to emulate. His untimely failing in health long before his death caused the dissolution of his show because no one could be found to fill his place with Bert Williams. We not only lament the death of Mr. Walker but the predicament it places so many of the race. His life has been an object lesson for both black and white Americans. We have sounded a note of warning to our young people to look out for the future and be ready to fill the places of others in all walks of life. Too few of them are making preparations along this line. If a colored man establishes a business—large or small and dies or retires, it is seldom if ever another of his race can be found to continue a thing that has been well established. This is a serious problem in the colored race to solve and it is high time that our leaders give the matter serious consideration. The passing of the famous team, Williams & Walker, simply because no one can fill the latter's place will be the fate of other high-class colored theatrical stars. Cole and Johnson, another high-class team has gone the way because there is no one to take the place of Bob Cole, the greatest tramp impersonater that ever appeared before the footlights. Others will follow. We say the Negro is being trained wrong He needs business training to cope with the progressive life of the white American. George Walker filled his mission, did well and passed to the great beyond just as he reached the place to accomplish more and greater things for the race. Who is left to take his alace? A NOTE OF WARNING. Colored people who have policies in the Knights and Ladies of Protection and those who contemplate doing so should need this warning and pass up the concern. They only had $310.3 in the Commercial National of Kansas City Kas., Oct. 31, 1910 to back up 188 death certificates and 114 sick certificates amounting to the enormous sum of $42,425 00. Think of it dear reader and see if you can figure out how a concern can pay claims on such a measley sum. Their only resources is the poor, misguided souls who believe they can be protected. Some one is going to hold the sick, yes several will be holding it. We know of several who are talking of bringing a suit to recover money wrongfully obtained by failing to live up to the term of policies issued. If any one denotes these figures, write the insurance commissioner and he will verify the figures quoted in this article. Let the Knights and Ladies of Protection explain to the people how they can protect one full claim without resorting to some scheme to defraud. If the order can show how they can do this we will gladly publish the statement. Beware of the fake order' "Little" Jim Guy is the president and "Big" Jim Mason vice. president. It is better known as the "Two Jim's Order." Rev. C. G. Fishoack is secretary but don't keep the books and J. G. Groves part treasurer. The people of Kansas need have no fear of Jim Grow laws at the hands of the present legislature as there are too many good, sensible Democrats and Republicans on guard. They have business far more vital to Kansas than legislating about the Negro. We visited the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Co., at 2031 and 2033 North 3rd street, Kansas City, Kans. We were shown through this establishment by Mrs Anthony Overton and her husband. She is a thorough business woman and to her is due credit for the success of the firm. Although Mr. Overton is a hustler he is not the equal of his wife when it comes to managing on the inside. They manufacture Baking Powder, starch, extracts and toilet articles, shipping to all parts of the country. They have men traveling on the road, making money, and could be severeral more intelligent men who can go to any business man and offer their goods for sale. They employ several girls of the race filling cans, putting on wrappers and other work around the concern. This is the largest and most successful Negro concern in the United States started on energy, vim and push, and no capital, and now worth thousands of dollars. This is what we like.
