TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Spring Has Arrived, Now Clean up the Old Cans, Rubbish, Etc., and Beautify Your Lawns! VOLUME XVIII. Spring Has A WHITE MAN R FOR RACIA Every White American S Accord With the Sermon for Every White American Should Read, Think and Act in Accord With the Lesson Herein Told...A Sermon for the White Clergy. In the first speech of his present tour of the country Ex-President Roosevelt, speaking to the Negroes of Atlanta declared that education is an antiseptic to crime—though he probably meant a preventive of crime—and will go a long way toward solving the "race problem." He pointed out that education has removed many obstacles to the advancement of the race, and expressed other opinions which had at least the merit of being intended to encourage his hearers. In the first speech of his p Roosevelt, speaking to the Ne But something more than education for the Negro, as absolutely essential as that is, is needed before the race problem is solved to any appreciable degree. The problem is too elemental to be solved by any formulae which did not go to the very beginnings. Far too much stress is laid upon what the Negro must do and far too little upon what the white man must do. If by some miraculous agency this country could be Christianized—really Christianized, so that everybody would actually believe what he professes to believe and act upon the belief—the race problem and almost every other problem would be automatically solved for it is a sum as "exact" as any mathematical proposition that ever tangled the brains of youth. The injected question of "social status" would not enter into the solution, for it does not belong to the problem; for despite the utter absence of any assertion by the Negro of the doctrine of social equality, despite his emphatic repudiation of any such conception of his relation to the white race, too latter has held up decade after decade this acute-crow, largely to cloak the theft of the Negro's civil and political rights, with which "social equality" has nothing whatever to do. Suppose, then, that the spirit of Jesus Christ should actuate the people of this country and should substitute Christ's beautiful ideal of human brotherhood for the hatred and prejudice which breed their spawning offspring of cruelty, murder and crime. Suppose that every human being, so far as civil and political rights, opportunity and ambitions are concerned, had an equal chance in life to make something of himself—how long would the bugaboo of social equality continue to exist? Social laws would still be drawn, but no human being would be condemned simply because of race or color. Every man would stand on his own merit as a citizen and residence districts, the drawing room and the whole social feature of the problem would take care of themselves. The fundamental point involved is simply this: When two human beings are born in this country, one of whom has a black skin and the other a white skin, the black child is doomed from the moment his color is seen, to a fate which includes phones wholly a connected with social question. Doors of opportunity are what in his face which are not the doors to the homes of white people which he has no desire to enter. It is this element of justice which education will not eliminate, which nothing but the spirit of Jesus Christ will ever eliminate. The efficiency of the spirit of Jesus Christ, working toward human brotherhood, has been suggested as the solution of the problem, through the launciful conception of a miraculous conversion of all Americans. The inefficacy of many other solutions may be shown by the same sort of suggestion. Suppose, for instance, that another miracle was wrought and that instead of this Christianization of every Negro in the country was instantaneously educated, made a duly graduated alumnus of a high school, a college, a technical school or some other educational institution set forth as "an antiseptic to lawlessness" and the remover of obstacles to the advancement of the race. The doors of the industrial world are even now being shut in the faces of Negro laborers. The same papers which contained reports of Colonel Roosevelt's speech printed dispatches to the effect that a big railroad strike had been precipitated because the white trenmen contended that Negro firemen should not be promoted when their efficiency was completely demonstrated—except that the black firemen might be permitted to work on local and slow freight trains or in the yards. A very strong movement was only recently launched in union labor circles for the practical expulsion of Negro inmates. Suppose the blacks were all instantaneously educated. The doors would not swing toward them any faster. The girls would be tolerated as cooks or dishwashers or maids, but not in any other purely own occupation. A Negro college graduate could not be employed in a store to wait upon curtains—not even upon a Negro school nurse. A few might get employment in teachers or cloaks or nurses in colored hospitals or something of the sort. But only because ignorance is wrong and intelligence a duty when it is an opportunity does the education of the black girl have any special significance. The educated black man can enter the learned professions and minister to his race. He may serve the whites as porter, waiter, coachman, barber or in other more or less mental capacity. A few may get to be policemen, but the worst white criminals considers him. Self "disgraced" if he is arrested by a nigger." The education of the Negro will not solve such a problem in this. Only the education of the white man—the education of his heart rather than his head, will solve it—the coming of the day when the black man shall have an untrammeled opportunity to work out his own salvation in equality of opportunity, equality before the law, modified only by those conditions. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1911. which shall take into account differentiations which cannot be availed, which are desirable and for the best interests of all concerned, not dictated by unreasoning prejudice; when he will serve on juries—Negro juries trying Negro criminals—other than acting the everlasting to one of the defendant; when he shall have greater privileges of citizenship than those of taxpayers; when he shall see doors of opportunity opening to the educated black that are closed to the criminal blacks—opportunities with whithb social equality have nothing whatever to do. Then there will be some incentive to be educated, and the glittering generalities in which orators are so fond of indulging will have some meaning and the very precepts of religion will have a new significance. It will require evolution to bring this about and the spirit of Jesus Christ is the greatest evolutionary force the world has ever known. AT REST. The hearts of many were saddened Saturday morning of last week, when the news spread over the city that the soul of Mrs. Cynthia Smith had passed from this to a higher life. Rich and ripe with years, she passed out of the world knowing that her work had been well and faithfully performed. Here was the simpler life, crowned with love, Christian devotion and a kindly feeling for all mankind. The stormiest voyages of all her sixty-six years were met with a smile—ever trusting in Him who does it all things well. Through the ravages of a cruel, heartless slavery she passed without a murmur—looking only to the God whom she knew and believed would send deliverance. While the dear old mothers are rapidly passing from earth, their footprints will never be erased from life's hands, and their noble deeds of love, devotion and kindness will ever be told in song and story. Plain, sympathetic and always ready to assist with that which would elevate and bring happiness, tell the life story of one of the noblest mothers on earth God's footstool. Her manner and disposition was as sweet and pleasant as that of a child; her passing emile and joyful disposition drew to her a legion of friends among young an old. Here was a life of sunshine and happiness and one made all about her happy No night was too dark or cold for her to go to the relief of one in need, and she would divide her last crust. She lived for her home and family and the one desse of her heart was fulfilled when an All-wise Providence spared her to live to see her children grow to manhood and womanhood, and she taught them that prayer was the key to all things and the Christian way the only way. In this land where death is king, we grieve and weep at the out-going; let them be young or old. But why? After all, death is sweet and the God who calls to us but fulfilling a promise that we should have a higher and nobler life A better neighbor, utter, launch or front never lived "by them works ye shall know them." How truly these words of the Holy Scripture portray here whose work will live and come is a beacon light to all mankind. The floral offerings were many and beautiful which shows the high esteem in which she was held by her friends and neighbors. Deveson was born in Monticello, South Carolina, sixty-nine years ago. She remarried in the state, living at Greenville and surrounding country till she came to Kansas with her husband twenty-two years ago When her helpmate passed away five years ago, she began to fail and went down gradually until her death at the residence of her daughter, Mrs Nick Chiles, 914 Buchanan street. She has been a faithful, conscientious Christian since girlhood, and on locating in Topoka, united with the Third Baptist church and remained a true and faithful member until a divine Providence removed her from the walks of man. She was also a member of the Benevolent lodge, whose members did all in their power to alleviate her sufferings Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from Shiloh Baptist church, Rev. Bell, former pastor of the Third Baptist church, officiating. She is survived by three daughters: Mrs Nick Chiles, Miss Willa Smith, Mrs. Lucile Jordan; a son, Paraleau; a brother two grandchildren and many admiring friends. Interment in Mount Auburn cemetery. Thus marks the closing corner of a life that has been useful, well spent and a blessing to mankind. May angels guard her soul!

The manager of this paper has visited every city of consequence in the new state, including a major portion of the small towns and villages. Here we find the Negro citizen awake and progressing along all lines. In every direction the sound of hummer and row is heard on the numerous buildings under course of eruption. These propositions are backed by Negro capital and the building are a credit to the state and the men and women who own them. Muskogee is especially alive and the coloured brother is putting his capital to good use. A huge building under course of construction on Second street will soon be completed and ready for occupancy. It is modern throughout and a handsome monument to the thrill, energy and enterprise of the black man who owns it In our study of Muskogee from a business standpoint, we found one enter prise that appealed to us strongly and made a deep impression.

Elsewhere in this paper will be found our Washington news letter, containing an account of the closing session of the Sixty First congress. In it will be given a resume of vital and far-reaching legislation which we met much for the country at large It will be observed that in the mission just closed many things were advocated or vital interest to the colored people of this country. At this time the American Negro is looking anxiously about him for friends. The day of sentimentality with regard to him has passed away. Only those brave and just are standing for his every right and opportunity at this time. Our Washington correspondent calls attention to the heroic right made by Senator Curtis for the Sulloway bill, which was designed to give relief to the aged and infirm veterans of the Civil War. This would have been especially helpful to the colored soldiers who fought for their freedom, many of whom, aged and infirm, must depend on the quarterly stipend which comes to them in the form of a pension from a grateful republic. But that which we desire to em. phasize in the fact that the public schools of Washington have been benefited by recent appropriations in a way surpassing all past appropriations. For many years efforts have been made to secure increased facilities and do away with the congested conditions in the public schools of the District of Columbia and the advocates of higher education for the Negro were rewarded when Senators Gallinger and Curtin, as conferences on the appropriation committee insisted that these requests of the colored people must be granted before the bid could be passed. As a result of the firm stand the public who of Warington will be in a condition to continue as the pride of the color people of the country. for years it has been a matter of comment that the schools of the national capital were thinking a standard unimpassed by any other schools in America. The city of a hundred thousand Negroes is ever increasing in number and it is necessary that opportunities be furnished for the children of the District. These opportunities just received will give in great proportion to the cause of education on the broadest mannership in that which argues or he high at int the most devoid for all the citizens of an economy, realizing that money is essential for education is much to be preferred to that which must be expended for justice, although use and police courts once our citizens are prepared for living on the streets. Out of the schools of today will come the Negro leaders and upright citizens of the future; those who will direct the race along higher times, the official and encouraging to our friends everywhere. In demanding that the colored schools must have these opportunities the Senators Gellinger and Curtis have not only placed their signs in the District of Columbia under his ing obligations to themselves, but have endeared themselves to the Negrons of the country. The Editor of this page, having lately visited in Washington and knowing somewhat of conditions there, is glad to observe that our race leaders know our Kansas Senator in the favorable and appreciative light as do the colored citizens of Kansas OBITUARY. George W. Smothers died at his home, 701 North Third street, Thursday morning February 16, at 6:10 o'clock age 65 years, 10 months and 1 day He was born April 15, 1845, in Virginia.

Mr. Smiths had been sick for three weeks and during the last week of his illness there was no hope for his recovery. In his death the community has lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. No other man is better known. In 40 years he has been an honest, upright and true citizen of this community. He always was ready to help those in sorrow or need, and give encouragement to all, that was unnobling to his friends and the community. It can be truly said of him, "He always planted a rose and plucked a thorn." It is with regret that we lay the body to rest and the entire community extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved family, and with one accord we say, "He is gone but not forgotten." Funeral services were held at A. M. E. Church, West Chestnut Ave., Saturday afternoon, at 10 o'clock. Rev. Rose conducted the services. CARD OF THANKS.
