THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Historical Society State House WlCHITA OLUME XIV. Manager Griffin Interviews the Captains of Industry in the Gate City of the Southwest---The Peerless Princess a Whirlpool of Business. No city in the great West out banks Wichita in thrift, energy and enterprise. Located in the great Southwest upon a plain almost as level as a kitchen floor, she stands out boldly the gateway of commercial activity. "The Peerless Princess," with her numerous sky scrapers, blocks of wholesale houses, mills, factories, banks, packing plants, etc, has the bustle and stir of a city of 200,000. The business is here and the men behind the dollars are not afraid to invest them to get it. Truly, Wichita is a great place—a business center, and you can not impede her progress because the men behind the dollars will not permit her to lag. The colored people are doing nicely and are creditably represented in the way of doctors, lawyers, druggists and numerous other professions and trades. A glance at some of the wideawake business concerns: It is indeed glad tidings to the citizens of Wichita to learn that through the broad foresight, wisdom and fai- ness of the Mayor and Commissioners of Wichita, the telephone fight is nearing an end. Mr. Nims, Vice- President, F. I. Gilman, General Manager, and Fred Simpson, purchas- ing agent of the telephone com- pany were in a conference with the May and City Commissioners Thursday afternoon. This conference was called for the purpose of reaching a compromise with regard to the question involved in a suit brought by the city from keeping the telephone com- pany from raising its rates to the schedule row in effect. It is understood that the city cannot now are not averse to granting cost minor concessions in order to get a new plant and improved service for Wichita The telephone company is striving gave the best service possible to the patrons of Wichita to that end they are spending many thousand dollars, and are willing and eager to spend more in the way of enlarging their plant, building larger and more consoquers, and installing from time to time the latest at highest appliances for the good of the service in Wichita. Many corporations are subject to too much unjust criticism and hampered by much unjust legislation, municipal, state and national, simply because they are corporations. The Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company is an aggregation of enterprising men who have bound themselves together and invested their money for the purpose of operating telephone lines in the several states and they are entitled to the same rights and pity leges of a private citizen in the pursuit of its undertaking, no more no less. But it is indeed unjust and unwise for the people of any community to antagonize a corporation simply because it is a corporation. It will prove a backward step for Wichita to so hamper and impede the telephone company to the extent that the company would not feel justified in erecting the handsome five story building it has had in contemplation for sometime. 1 The Telephone Company is identified with Wichita, and as deeply interested in the City's prosperity as any private individual. The thing for Wichita to do is to be fair and respect the rights of all. The people of Wichita have implicit confidence in the integrity and business acumen of the company's local manager, Mr. C. C. Bayless. } It is chiefly due to such companies as the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company that the telephone is no longer a luxury used only by the wealthy but has been brought within the reach of the most humble citizen. Wichita, in her onward march toward greatness., would do well to encourage instead of impeding such enterprising companies as the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Coompany. Mr. Albert M. Patten, General Superintendant of Topcha and Wichita Street Raiwa. Wichita has been very fortunate indeed, to have in charge of her street railway a man who does things, a practical street railway man with pluck, vim and ability, who knows how to give service and will do it. He is never satisfied with good service alone, but always strives to make it better. This man is Mr. Allott M. Patten whose successful management and perfection of the Popa Railway system, has made him a most valuable acquisition for Wichita. Mr. Patten has been in the railway business for many years and knows he business from a to z. He is in a class with Bernard Corrigan, of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company of Kansas City, Mo. The Illinois Traction Company has expended many thousands of dollars on the street railway in Wichita, and are endeavoring to give the best possible service. They contemplate many expensive improvements and if not hampered by foolish legislation, it will mean much to Wichita and other cities who are fortunate enough to have systems superintended by men of broad and progressive ideas like Mr. Patten. No city can or has prospered that refuses to join hands with concerns superintended by such men as Mr. Albert M. Patten. He is one of us—(the great common people), and were he a multi-millionaire, he would labor just as diligently to serve those who toil as he would a king. Wichita should be kind to Mr. Patten and his company, they have placed Topeka in the front rank of cities with street railway service, and will continue, if cranks are prevented from dictating the city's policy of dealing with those whose welfare, comfort and interest has been entrusted to them. --- It would not only be an injustice to the Kansas Gas and Electric Company, but to Wichita and its entertaining officers, should we fail to mention this most worthy of all concerns. Wichita should feel especially proud of this company, which is made it possible for wage earners and bankers to enjoy a comfort that could easily be kept from the reach of the former. While it is a necessity, it could be so arranged that only the "dilemach" would be permitted to enjoy the comforts therecomethosecomethosehas blessed Kansas with the abundance of gas, and it is fortunate and of that such progressive entertainment man has been placed at the head of an enterprise of this character in Wichita. 11 Kansas this and Electric Company is doing as much to unite Wichita's business activity and bring about prosperity to her people as any one in that ever traded city. To go on with this they have a pendent major sums of money even to extra expense and brought on the city that understood every phase of promoting an enterprise a thereby building a great city. Mr. H. S. Staden, formerly of the Portland General Electric Co. of Portland, Ore., has been installed as manager, which is a positive gain for that not only the Kansas class and Electric Company will be benefited on our behalf and our citizens. He is a born堡者 young active and a trained business man one who will use it every influence and power of welfare and advancement of the community in which he lives. This writer had the pleasure of resting in Portland when Mr. Staden was with the General Electric Company of that city and we also had a personal acquaintance with him. He has developed one of the finest concerns of its kind in the world. The people were proud of the company and generations in the way of franchise, etc., and now they point to it with finger of pride and praise Mr. Staden and those who point their money and energy in promoting it Personally, Mr Shaden is fun. It is one of those gentle, high-bird fowls, easy to approach and courteous kind and polite to all men—rich and poor, white or black alike—and if Wichita will treat him and his company kindly they will be envied by many of her less fortunate sisters. Mr. L. O. Ripley, vice president of the company, is a man of more than TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JAN. 19. 1912 ordinary ability. Thoroughly schooled in the world of business, he has made good and his every act indeed will stand as a proud and living monument to his thrift and enter prise. Dr. W. W. Minnick, Mayor of Wichita. It is indeed a pleasure to publish in this issue, a few lines concerning Dr. W. W. Minnick, mayor of Wichita, who delivered the address of welcome to the Inter-State Literary Association at the Forum at the opening session, December 27th. His address was masterly and conscientious, depicting the broadness, honesty and fairness for which he has been noted throughout his life. Among the public men of Kansas, none stand higher in the hearts of constituents than Dr. Minnick with implicit confidence in his integrity and business capacity, the citizens of Wichita elected him mayor a few months ago. Before his election he promised enforcement of JOHN H. HARRIS W. W. MINNICK. Mayor of Wichita, Kan the law and a strictly binding administration that he has carried out his pledges to the letter. He acknowledged by all fair minded citizens He believes in good citizenship and judges men by character and worth alone. He practiced medicine Wichita for more than twenty years, associated with his father,Dr. John Munrich, who was a greatly beloved publie servant for many years, and Mr. Mor Munrich has proven himself a worthy son of a noble sire. --- Jas. N. Miller, the poor commissioner has served in this county since February, 1911. He is a native of Pennsylvania and served three years in the 12th West Virginia Infantry. He is one of the few "old" that follow "old glory" in the day, that tried men's souls, and as good to have him with us. He is pleasant and kind hearted to the man in need and treats everybody alike. Mr. Miller is the right man in the right place, and he should be retained in his present position just as long as he care to serve. He served his country faithfully and well and the little position he holds is but a partial reward for his labor. Whale we have never been addicted to the use of patent medicines for do we sell our space to the fellow who has a "one-all" to offer the public, but when a thing stands every test we do not hesitate in saying so "Montholatum" is a preparation manufactured right here in Wichita and it has made good every claim made for it. There are a lot few homes in the county without a box of Montholatum, and it is prescribed by lead physicians throughout the land. Mr. A. A. Hyde, president of the Metropolitan Co., is one of the leaders in Wichita business life and enjoys the confidence and respect of all the people of the city. He is fair, square and honorable in all his dealings and willing to let go of his duties if it will in any way assist Wichita and her people. He is one of the leaders, Y. M. C. A men of the West, a liy hunted Christian gentleman, and through his efforts the moral as well as the business side of Wichita has been greatly benefited. From personal investigation the writer learned that Mr. Hyde was instrumental in the establishment of a "Y" for the colored boys, which is notophishing much good for the race Mrs. Maggie Bramlett, who has been visiting with her uncle, W. E. Whitted and family, has returned to her home in Chicago. The John Brown Literary held their meeting on Wednesday evening at the A. M. I. church. An interesting and entertaining program was rendered. The G. U. O. I. and H. H Ruth held their annual love feast on Wednesday evening at their hall. Hearty greetings were exchanged, a royal good time was had and a sumptuous repast was served and heartily enjoyed by all present. On Monday afternoon of last week one of the most brilliant social event of the season was the musicale given at the elegant Whitted residence, on North Water street, from 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock p.m. complimentary to Mrs. Bramlett of Chicago, who has been the guest of her uncle, Mr. W. H. Whitted and family. Shades were drawn and under the rays of electric lights with the beautiful decorations and the pretty gowned ladies presented a beautiful scene. From the dining table was served an elegant menu. The rendition of the musical selections were especially fine and highly enjoyed. --- The National Bank of Commerce has long been a permanent fixture in Wichita's growth and prosperity, and is now assisting materially in making the city the commercial center of the great Southwest. Mr. C. W. Carey, president, is a man thoroughly schooled in the management of finance and to his splendid foresight and careful management may be traced the growth and prosperity of this institution. He is a gentleman of high integrity and has a high regard for the great common people. Mr. Carey is regarded as one of the country's foremost financiers and his bank has an enviable place in the ranks of the leading financial institutions of the country. --- The Kansas National Bank is an institution that is bringing Wichita and Solwich count into the lineage as one of the foremost institutions of its kind in the country. Elsberry Martin, cashier, knows banks and business thoroughly. He has been with this institution for fourteen years and enjoys not only a nice acquaintance, but has the comfort of the people in general. Mr Martin is every inch a gentleman knack, courteous and polite and believes in putting his shoulder to the wheel and boosting anguish by enterprise. th. W. M. L. L.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Weiss and must confess that a finer man never lived. He takes --- pride in showing and explaining things, and each time in his presence you learn something. He is a good, substantial citizen, well liked and he loves in putting down his dollars to increase the hum of the wheels of industry. His word is as good as one of Uncle Sam's gold certificates, which is one of the secrets of the magnificent success he has made of the Otto Welsh Alfa'fa Stock F I Compan. --- 100N. J. H. ADAMS. the old Republican stalwart, has announced that he will make the race for Congress in the Fighth district against Victor Murook. He was born in Butler county March 25th, 1877, and has resided in the county all his life. He conducts a small bank in 13 Dorado and has always played a prominent part in Republican politics, having served three terms in the State Legislature. He is a strong public speaker—logical and convincing, and has made many warm friends during his service. He is one of the strongest men in Butler county and is highly spoken of throughout the district, and is strongly encouraged by many friends in different sections of the state who will watch his campaign with deep interest. Mr. Adams is opposed to public clamor, being a Republican of the old JOHN B. HARRIS HON. J. B. ADAMS, El Dorado, Kan. school, making the race in the interest of party harmony and the welfare of the district. He believes in time for the country to settle down sound business conditions. He says the country must be prosperous, more so than before, and that the only abundance is lack of confidence and the condition of unity and uncertainty that exists. Mr. Vanessa is developing good strong business among the farmers and business men, who want to set the country settled down to steady growth and again Business would go forward with some degree of activity and confidence and would feel better and prosper. Mr. Adam is one of the most wish awake, public, mated men in Kansas and tools or ready to work and contribute his money to things which tend to bring peace and happiness to all men rich and poor white and black alike. In the campaign he is going to prove a stubborn commitment, as may be stated by the law following he has mastered at the start, and we feel safe in avaging that when the ballots are counted Mr. Adams will be the next Congressman from the Eighth district. He is a good life, sound business man the hand to serve the people fideliest and best. LL DORADO is a beautiful little city peopled with about 300 good, warm-hearted, entertaining souls. Here we were the guest of our astonished friend, Mr. Thodor Jones. He is comfortably domesticated in a beautiful flat, enjoying life in style. Mr. Jones conducts a transfer business and has many Toupea friends will be pleased to learn that he is making things hum The Howard Milling Company's high grade "Dutless Princess Dior" I love it. It makes the best brand, rolls, cake and pies one ever tasted. It is the joy of all first-class clot and the pride of every housewife who gives it a trial. There may be flour just as good, but none excell. "Pierless Princess" stands in a class by itself. Mr. I. I. Howard, president of the company, is one of the city's leading Frederick Douglass business men and a live wire, too. He is one of those energetic fellows who are not afraid to spend a few dollars to keep Wichita in the front park. Mr. C. R. Howard is also a live one, and he has assisted materially, not only in the building of a great mill, but in advancing Wichita. He is a high class gentleman and a valuable acquisition to the city.

Please allow us from time to time space in your paper to publish these masterpieces of eloquence. In this week's issue we wish to present to the public "Hands Off!", which is a warning to all young ladies, and we hope those who red it may be benefited morally: HANDS OFF! Young ladies, while traveling this rugged road of life, Through this world of pleasure, pain and strife, Various kinds of temptations will confront you that are not right. But be ever ready to say with all your might, Hands off! Hands off! When a young man pays you a visit Plaindealer Seven any time or place, And the hour is coming for his departure to take place, And he wishes for you to bid him adieu by fondly kissing and doing things impure, Tell him firm and tell him true Hands off! Hands off! And if from home to church he escorts you On the pretense of hearing reverend preach, When your walk back home is near complete, You will hear his animal commence to speak: "Give me just one kiss that is sweet." Tell him kind, sweet and meek, Hands off! Hands off! It matters not where face to face you meet a man, And be commence to be familiar with hands, Speak as a lady should to a man. You cannot stand the fondling of man. And if to anger he resort for revenge, Tell him over and over again, Hand off! Hand off! Young ladies, when you are launched out into this world so vain, In search of glory and in search of fame, You are sure to meet Old Lampeter with descent and shame. But pass him by, for there is nothing to gain id just keep playing your same old saying, Hands off! Hands off! Old Tonger will promise everything on earth to be four! The costliest jewels and the prettiest cost of gowns. He will promise you love and promise defense. But don't be deceived for it's false pretense. Tell him with power and with sense, Hands off! Hands off! For if by Old Pampter you are deceived You are robbed of everything that a pure woman needs; You are robbed of your principle, character and name. You are disgraced for life, to sorrow and slime. By not speaking true and speaking same. Hands off! Hands off! Sometimes you see women who have paid Pampter his price. Wearing the jewels and dressed like a knight. But if you are a choicer you will detect from sight She is living in misery with all her rights For not saying what is just and right, hands off! Thank you! Sometimes you can see them trying to have Old Tempter's the But it has been a long time since you were then They try to Old Tempter, but it is all in vain. "Give back to me my virtue and name. And just let me speak those words so sure, Hands off! Hands off! Old Tempter's reply is "I would not You are stripped of everything that is pure and good." So then he can see her sad mistake, By taking hold of Old Tempter, but by not speaking true and straight, Hands off! Hands off! Then by others Old Tempter is admired nd called a hero in accomplishing his desires, While the poor, weak woman is hated and despised, When by all she would have been admired had she only continued to strive. All such women when they die won't have a friend to say good-bye. Their bodies will generate in foulness and crime. To the flesh that was of dust so fine; Back to Old Mother Earth, stocked with crime For not keeping good and pure time, Hands off! Hands off! That which was made for man's delight, When deceived by Tempter they are useless in life. They are worthless on earth and will be poisonous in death. By not saying true and saying their best, Hands off! Hands off! I hope to you all don't seem blind By condemning lost virtue, such heinous crime, And what I have said will prove wholesome and sane, And the words I have written will never prove vain, And by all young ladies may my subject ever remain And from this night on this will be their constant saying and praying, Hands off! Hands off! JERRY GRIDER'S LETTER TO THE BRETHREN. Let's think one time in life what we could do if we would unite our forces together once. One hundred and eighty-five thousand Negroes in the state of Missouri, and we have no place for our colored girls. Do you think once what we could do for everyone to put in 10 cents in the state of Missouri? We could build a home regardless of a reform school. Why do we colored people want to lean our heads on the white man and ask him to prepare a home for our best girls and also for our criminal girls? I don't think it is right. I think we should take the step ourselves first. Of course, I don't think any politician has anything to do booking after these girls. I think it ought to be taken up solely by the religious people. Of course I don't complain the directory of the state who we set aside by Governor Hadad we tell such institutions, but I also the charge to the pardon at large in place of helping to push they have helped to pull against the project.

In the Ural mountains between Rus- da and Siberia, it is the largest manu- factory of sheet iron in the world. It is owned and operated by the Rus- da government, and its workmen live and die within the limits of the factory. Once entered on the role of the com- pany an operative is 11310 goodbye forever to the world. Dmitri Nikatovich, a young Rus- stan, having been out of employment for a long while, saw his wife and children starving but re-hit "There is but one chance for our lives," he said to his wife "I must go to the iron works. There I shall receive regular wages, which I can send to you." In vain his wife protested. They might die together rather than that the husband and father should be dead to them forever. No, he and The winter was at hand and if they escaped starvation they would surely die to cold. Kissing his little ones who were too young to understand what he was about to do, and loving his swowing wife and them, he went to the iron works and entered himself as a work man. Four years passed. The wife and children of Nikahowah knew that he was still alive, for they received his wages regularly. He knew that they or some of them fired, for the money was not returned to him. One day a new walkman was entered at the factory. He was a young, delicate looking fellow and was given the lightest work that was to be done. One morning this workman, who was entered under the name of Nicholas Artemych, was standing beside Dmitri Nikanovich, both waiting to handle some sheet iron that had just been rolled, when Nicholas whispered. "Be at the west wall tonight at 9 o'clock, midway between the fifth and sixth sentry towers. Nikanovich, astonished, stared at the speaker. Nevertheless he had the presence of mind to hold his peace. That night Nikanovich walked, as was permitted, from 8 to 9 o'clock between the factory buildings and the wall, and when the bell rang at 9 and the other workmen had disappeared he saw Artemivich beckoning him in a dark corner formed by the contiguous buildings. Indeed, the base stones of the buildings touched, leaving a recess behind them. Artemivich's head and shoulders only could be seen. Nikanovich cast a hasty glance around, and, making sure that no one saw him, he sprang over the stone into the recess "Dmitri, I am Anna, your wife!" The thought that his wife had entered this place to be with him and that she had left their children killed him with alternate husbands of boy and sorrow. For a moment husband and wife were locked in each other's arms. Then Anna spoke quietly. "You had scarcely left us when my Aunt Matti did not left me 2000 rubles. The first year I spent getting possession of the money and the rest mainting three in planning and preparing for your escape. Two years ago I began to dig a tunnel through the bank to a point near the spot where we stand. It was a good job to tell them that there I have to this point in planning and dig till I reach the earth's surface.

Just he forc e engriging the, and that the h space smaller, race to contain a rowbout, in which there were a pair of oars "Those rowboats," said Ann, "have been muttled to nearly a year, and the clothes are quite cotton. Still, they will serve to get us past the river guards without the noise of roving. "How did you get this boat in here?" asked Dualri "I watched all months for the water to be sufficiently hot to float it in. "Did ever man's vessel suffer and devoted?" said he and our braving her "Come, let us 1007."

Proclamation No. 4 Knights Pythias To All Grand Lodge Officers, District Deputy Grand Chancellors, Grand Representatives, Chancellor Commanders, Officers and Members of the Order of Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas. Dean Brothers:—Owing to the large increase of deaths that we have had since the adjournment of the Grand Lodge at Iola, I was compelled to call the Board of Control, or "Beneficiary Board," to meet on the 7th of January in the city of Kansas City for the purpose of formulating plans whereby we may be able to meet our obligations and needs of our widows and their dependent children. The Board met pursuant to call. All members present. Conditions of affairs were presented to the Board showing that we have had eight (8) deaths since October, besides the eleven (11) deaths reported at the Grand Lodge session. The amount of claims for these nineteen deaths is $3,000, of which we have pid $2,075, leaving a deficit of $1,825. Of this amount we have on hand at this time about $600. After due consideration the Board voted that an assessment of $1.00 be assessed against each and every member of the order, to be paid on or before March 25th, 1912, and that the Grand Chancellor be empowered to issue proclamation for same. It therefore becomes my duty to issue the following proclamation: Know ye that I, John E. Lewis, Grand Chancellor of the Sunflower Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Kansas, whose duties, orders, prirogatives are imperative during the recess of the Grand Lodge, on his date, by authority of power vested in me, do hereby exact, levy and assess one dollar ($1.00) or, each and every member of the order in the jurisdiction for the purpose of increasing the Beneficiary Fund, which shall be paid on or before the 25th day of March, 1912. Chancellor Commandes and Masters of Finance will see that this amount is collected from each member of their respective lodges and forward the same to the Grand Secretary of the Endowment department, one-half (½) on the first day of February, 1912, and the last half (½) on March the 26th, 1912. Chancellor Commanders are requested to see that this amount is collected in preference of monthly dues. Members failing to pay same will be subject to Art. XIV, Sec. 2, Sub. Const. Blanks will be furnished to each lodge upon which to make their report. To raise your dollar ($1.00) with as little expense as possible, I hereby grant to each and every lodge in the jurisdiction a free dispensation to have two entertainments if desired to raise their money. The 24th day of March being our anniversary, I would suggest that this day be taken to raise the last half. We shall expect that every member whose name has appeared on this quarter Endowment report will appear on the report of this assessment. Let each of us as brave Pythians walk boldly to the front as men of honor—men who truly represent the noble characters whom we emulate, Damon and Pythias, and say with one accord, "To the rescue of uor noble order, here is my dollar." You need not divide it in two payments. Just think, this is the first assessment we have ever had in this department since the organization of our Grand Lodge. Does this not speak well for us, especially since we have paid out thousands and thousands of dollars to our widows and children? Will you bea Judas or a true Pythian? I hope that there will not be found a disloyal member in our ranks, but let each and every one remember his obligation as a true Knight of Pythias. Dear brethren, Judging by your loyalty in the past, knowing your love for our order and its welfare, I commend this to you and subscribe my name. This done and signed P. P.X.LVII. Note—I hereby extend the present dispensation, which will close on January 15, to March 31, 1912, with the same premiums. Ten (10) month shall be the minimum. We will decide by the number of applications received for policies. J. E. LEWIS, G. C. Attest: H. L. MONROE, G. K. of R. and S. Note—I hereby extend the present dispensation, which jums.
