THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed THE Fourteenth Year. No. 25. Elequent Southern Devine Points the Way for "Beginners" in the Flight for Honor and a Position in the "Bread Line." Mr. President, Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a source of very great pleasure to me to be present and take part in the exercises on this auspicious occasion, and to be for the first time at the capital of this grand state, which bears the distinction of giving to the country the man who drove the opening wedge, which brought freedom to my race, the man whose tragic death brought to a focus the agitations which resulted in a secession of some of the states and finally ended in the abolition of slavery. I refer to the much revered John Brown. As proud as I am of this opportunity, I am forced to say by way of apology, for whatever short-comings may attach to the part I am to take in these exercises, that for the last two months my entire time has been taken up looking after the thousands of sufferers from the over-flowed sections of the Mississippi delta who had taken shelter in my home city from the ravages of the worst flood that has ever visited that section, hence, my mind is some-what clouded with the deep concern I had for them and prevented me from centering my attention on the object before us at this time. I am advised by your distinguished President, that this school stands for both literary and industrial education, hence I have chosen to speak to you from the subject: Opportunities for Educated Negroes. In making choice of a subject on which to address you, it was my purpose to give double emphasis to the service which the distinct Negro schools are doing for our struggling race and to show that they have a special mission, which cannot be filled by any other school, not that these are superior to other schools, but that they are peculiarly adapted to the need and demands of a rising or child race of people. Before we proceed further, let me say that we should not deceive ourselves into the belief that we have in the brief period which has intervened since the emancipation of our race and the present developed a well-rounded, highly cultured race of people, fitted for all the duties and responsibilities required by a twentieth century civilization, but rather, that we are still at the foundation of our racial life, and that it may be another half century before we can say we are fully on our feet. I am not a pessimist, and am full of hope for the future of my race, and believe it has made wonderful progress and that each day brightens the opportunities which stand out before it A story told by Mr. Washington pretty clearly sets forth the present condition of the Negro race. He said, "That a good white woman who lived near a colored church went over to see one of the colored lady members, and asked why the colored people made so much noise in their worship? She reminded the colored lady, that the magnificent temple at Jerusalem was built without the sound of a hammer being heard, to which the colored lady replied, "Law Missus were not building no temple we's just blasting out de rocks for de foundation." My friends, we are still at the foundation of our racial life and I think I can say that right well is that foundation being laid. It is a fundamental principle that no one race can furrish acceptable leaders for another race. America cannot furnish Great Britian, France or Germany with statesmen, lawyers, doctors or even soldiers. Each nation must produce its own great man or leaders, and so with the races of the world; and before these can be satisfactorily produced in sufficient quantity to meet the demands of a race or nation, each race or nation must build the schools in which these leaders must in the main be trained or prepared. As students of history, you will recall that it required several centuries for the Hebrew nation, after its miraculous emancipation from Egyptian bondage to reach the place in its racial life where it could settle down in peace under the leadership of one of the greatest kings that ever sat in a coronation chair. But the fact should not be overlooked, that during the centuries that the Hebrew race was in building that every prepared man among them worked unceasingly for what he believed to be for the best interest of his race preparing it for the future. I may say, that not one of those faithful old patriarchs lost the place in history which they honorably won for themselves, while their race was in building. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Caleb, Gideon and many others whom I might mention, stand forth in Jewish history as prominent as if they had been present at the coronation of King David and lived in his day. By way of illustration allow me to say, the Mammoth railroad bridge which spans the great Mississippi river at Memphis, Tenn., rests upon huge pillars of stone; on a bright clear day these stones can be seen at a great distance, and while these stones hold up many thousands of tons of iron and steel, yet all the stones in those massive piers are not seen above the surface of the water, there are many others which are bearing an equal part in holding up the mighty structure which are beneath the surface, some of which are down in the mud beneath the bed of the river, and so it is in the life of every rising race; many of the men who are among the strong pillars of our rising race have a place at or near the foundation. No creditable history could be written of the American Negro, without making mention of such notable characters as Frederick Douglass, William Still, Phyllis Wheatley, Lott Carey, Richard Allen, Bishop Grant, Wm. J. Simmons and a host of others, who labored and hoped like the prophets of old, to see and hear those things which you see and hear and died without the sight; but they wrought well in their day and their deeds are immortal. If Phyllis Wheatley had not done a single other thing than write that verse which says: "Make me a grave where ere you will, In lowly plain or on lofty hill; Make it 'mongst earth's humblest graves; But not in a land where men are slaves." she would have immortalized her life to be read by a thousand generations. And so with the deeds and acts of others whom I have mentioned. That our race has come an immeasurable distance since its emancipation will not be denied by any unbiased minds, and yet we are only at the beginning of life as free American citizens. Those of us who lived on the other side of the flood, so to speak, who know something of the horrors of slavery and the ravages of a cruel war are perhaps better prepared to judge the progress made by the race than many who were born since the Civil war. Sometime ago a young man approached me on board of a train coming up from Tuskegee, Ala., and said, "I can see no hope for the Negro in this country. Prejudice against him is on the increase all over the country." I reminded that young man of the story told of S.Journer Truth, who, when she saw Mr. Douglas in a similar mood, rose up and pointing her finger straight at him said; "Frederick, God is not dead!" This problem which disturbs so many of the bright young men in our race is God's problem, and nothing is too hard for Him. It is sometimes said that the days of miracles are past, and this foolish statement is sometimes heard from some of the best pulpits in our coun- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 21, 1912. try, but there was never a more significant miracle performed than that which God has performed here upon this American continent. Less than fifty years ago He took from the slave pens of the South fo urmillions of human beings, ignorant and superstitious, with a thousand years of the darkest heathenism and Paganism back of them. Not one was able to help the other, and none owned a foot of land on which to place his naked feet. He has increased the number to ten millions and has reduced the illitearey of the race from near 100 per cent to less than 45 per cent, and each day as the sun goes down, more than two millions of them go into 400,000 homes of their own. My friends, this is more than a miracle, it is a transfiguration. But what of the opportunities for the educated Negro? If there were no opportunities opened to the Negroes in this country except in his own race, there would be sufficient for every well prepared man for the next hundred years. There are today scores of places ready within the race for every well prepared man in it, while in the other race there are a score of prepared men for every place. But both of the preparation there must be an abiding love for your people. It was King Henry who said "Comrades, if you will risk your lives for me, I will risk mine for you. If you should loose our standard, do not lose sight of my white plume, you will always find it in the path of duty, and I trust of victory too." I remember reading somewhere this verse, which still more forcibly sets forth one's real love and patriotism for his race, it is this: To the humblest and the weakest 'neath Every profession which is opened to the people of the more advanced races of the world, is rapidly opening within our own race to the men and women who are preparing to fall them. Ten million people for an indefinite period are to be provided with preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, architects, painters, electricians, builders, contractors, etc. from within the race, and not one of these high callings are full, and many of them are being filled by mere "make-shifts" at this day. But, the ten millions of the race in this country are not all, and yet we have in this country one third as many people as there are in Old England which is one of the most powerful governments in the world. An All-wise Providence has decreed it seems, that the American Negro shall be the nucleus around which all the black peoples of the world shall unite. This opinion is based upon the fact, that the American Negro is the most closely watched, and is the cause of more jealousy than any other black man in the world. His ideas of freedom were gained in the first battle fought for the independence of this country, and while he remained in slavery nearly a century after Crispus Attucks fell a martyr to American independence, the ennobling thought has never been quenched in his breast. Having fully imbued the principles which has made all the great nations of the earth what they are, and here in the morning of their racial life are reaching out their hands to their brothers in black in all parts of the world, bidding them to partake of the same spirit which makes them the center of the world's attention, emphasizes the pressing need of educated men and women to lead the race in proper channels. Perhaps you in the North cannot as rapidly see the opportunities which stand out before the educated Negro as those of us who live in the South and are daily associated with them. If you will take the time to investigate, you will find that the rapid advancement made by the Negro people along intellectual lines, has increased the demand for well educated preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and men and women in all the other professions And should the door of hope be closed against the Negro race by the more advanced and more powerful race among whom we live, I would remind you of the words in Holy Writ which says: "I set before an open door, and no man can shut it," etc. Forty years ago there was scarcely any place in the race for a Negro lawyer, but now with a billion dollars worth of realty, backed by every kind of business from an ordinary grocery store to a well regulated and liberally capitalized bank, that profession becomes an inviting one, and so it will be with all the other professions. But, my friends, I am glad to learn that your school is an industrial as well as a literary one. I believe in literary training, and believe in the higher education of those of my race who are fortunate enough to get it, for the reason, we could not have the right kind of leaders without it. But, in my opinion a majority of our race must ever depend upon labor for its existence and viewing as I do the keen competition in the labor field as well as elsewhere, it seems to me that if the black man is to hold his own among the other skilled and well prepared people of our country, he must have that industrial training which will enable him to do whatever his employer may desire done, as good as the best. It is not my intention to criticise any of you when I say, that there have been men and women who have had superior school advantages, but who did not have common sense enough to know that it was honorable to labor. Our Lord and Master put heaven's approval on honest toil and when He returned home with His mother and Joseph at the age of twelve from their visit to Jerusalem. He was thence forward subject unto them, perhaps laboring at the carpenter's bench until he entered upon his ministry at the age of thirty. Now to you my young friends, who graduate from this institution today, let me say that there lays out before you an unexplored region, an unbroken forest which awaits the woodman's ax. Will you enter this inviting field with a view of making your blades keener as they come in contact with the world? Will you form a determination now, that fifty years hence when you in the natural course of things must go with totering steps to the grave, that you will have so used the learning or training which you have received while here, that a thousand generations yet to come will know that you once lived, and that the best efforts of your life were spent in helping to build a race which is destined to NATIONAL PREACHERS' HOME Opening and Dedicatory Services Held on June 11th at Colorado Springs, Colo—V Laudable Move by A.M.E. Church. The opening and dedicatory services of the National Preachers' Home at Colorado Springs, Colo., on the 11th inst. was largely attended, and a splendid program was rendered. Bishop H. Blanton Parks provided the first day and Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding chair of the Colorado conference, presided at the closing exercises. This laudable move was put on foot by the Rev. J. W. Braxton, and after many years of good hard work the home for despot ministers is no longer on paper, but a reality. It is a mark of progress, and a credit to the A. M. E. church and those who fathered the move. Before the writer is a picture of the Home, and it is one of the prettiest structures in the country—an ideal home for those who have given the best days of their life for the uplift of mankind and the advancement of the religion of Jesus Christ. Located on a beautiful rise in picturesque Colorado, Springs, the healthiest city in America, the superannuated ministers have a good home, where they can rest under their own vine and fig tree till assigned to a charge by the General Conference above.

United States Supreme Court Hands Down Decision in Famous Georgia Cane in Favor of Negro Knights of Pythias. After numerous trials in courts of Georgia, and losing each time it was appealed, the Negro Knights of Pythias have at last triumphed over race hatred in Georgia. The white Pythians of Georgia brought suit in the courts of that state during the past two years asking that colored people be prohibited from using the name or insigns of that order. It was a hot fight through all the courts, and each time color prejudice predominated over law Colored Pythians throughout the nation contributed funds to fight the case and carried it up to the United States Supreme court, and the results are most gratifying, and also settles for all times to come the rights of colored people to have lodges of whatever name they desire. Yesterday, Mr. John E. Lewis, Grand Chancellor, Kansas and jurisdiction received the following telegram, which news brings joy and happiness to thousands who have waited daily to learn the results: New Orleans, La., June 11, 1912. Sir John E. Lewis. Supreme Chancellor. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, headquarters at Saint Louis sends the following special to The Plain-dealer: This decision is gratifying to the 185,000 Negro Pythians and 55,000 Calanthians of the United States and her Island possessions, and puts at ease the unrest and vital question, among our entire membership throughout the world, whether or not we, as Negro Pythians could continue to do business as a great fraternal, beneficial incorporation in the United States. Knowing that God is on our side, because our cause is right and just, let us all endeavor to do only those things which uplift and benefit the race. For the race and for the order, Fraternally and faithfully in F. C. and B. Colored Teachers to Meet. In every section of the country large preparations are being made for the attendance of the National Association of Teachers in coloured schools which hold its ninth annual session in Chattanooga, Tenn., July 24th to 28th. Chairman of the Executive Committee Mr. M. T. Dogan and President W. T. B. Williams have arranged a program which will be very vital in all of its bearings, running through from Wednesday the 21th to Sunday afternoon 28th. As in former years Sunday will be Educational Day through out the city of Chattanooga. Some of the best educators will speak in all of the churches at the H 10'clock services; while at 2 o'clock a great educational mass meeting will be held at the City Auditorium where a few of the best speakers and some of the best singers to be had by any people will constitute the program. As in St. Louis last year it is expected that many thousand people will gather in the Chattanooga Auditorium to hear and cheer the closing notes of the Ninth Annual Session Sunday, July 29th Very low round trip reduced rates have been secured on all railroads cost of the Mississippi river. Persons from other sections will find it possible to secure the summer tourist rates to Chattanooga and vicinity. Already there is the assurance of more than a thousand delegates at the Chattanooga meeting. Circulation 9,000 Enarained Price $1.50 Per Year. THE U. B. F. AND S. M. T. The U. B. F. and S. M. T., jurisdiction of Kansas, with headquarters at Kansas City, is reported in fine shape. Rev. Geo. McNeal, G. M., wishes hereby to extend thanks to the various lodges and temples throughout the State for the great work they are doing towards increasing the membership, and special mention is made of Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Emma Galnes, Mrs. Mardan and the master of Booker T. Washington lodge of Topeka, and also of Rev. Anderson, master of the new lodge and his officers. They are doing a magnificent work Topeka lodges and temples are expected to be the banner lodges at the grand session at Independence, Kan., the first week in September. While Independence was selected for the grand session, there is an effort being made to change the annual session to Topeka, the Capital city, Rev. McNeal writes: "I am making my annual visit to all lodges, temples and juveniles this month. I was in Weir City and It. Scott last week and found them in excellent condition, but there is room for improvement. I was with the Pearly Gate temple in Kansas City and there met the grand worthy princess Rev. E. A. Wilson, the grand worthy assistant secretary, Janie E. Lewis, and other grand officers and a royal feast was given us. Over $100 was reported in the treasury. They have a house and lot paid for and rented out for their temple. They are doing fine. "The National Grand lodge will convene in Chicago, Ill., instead of at Muskogee, Okla. The eastern and northern delegates would not be "Jim Crowed" to go there, and for that reason the change was made." NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE To be Held in Chicago—Delegates from Nearly Every State in the Union to be present—Local Chicago Committees at Work. The Thirteenth Annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Chicago, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23, 1912. The Local Negro Business League of Chicago has secured the Seventh Regiment Armory for the sessions. Delegates intending to be present should, as early as practicable, notify W. D. Neighbors, Secretary Chicago Negro Business League, 3517 State street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved. Last year, nearly every state in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock. Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program, and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago League is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce joined with the Local Negro Business League in inviting the National Organization to meet in Chicago, and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may attend. Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country, and especially from the South, for the meeting Local Leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange special Pullman Tourist Car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as possible. Some of the strongest men and women of the Negro race will be present and speak at the meeting These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men and women who are doing their part of the world's work. Sessions of the following affiliated organizations will be held at the same time: The National Negro Barkers Association National Negr Bankers Association; National Negro Funeral Directors Association; the National Negro Press Association, and the National Bar Association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the Negro people ES een ne en ee ee ee .

Seekers Step at The Hotel," : Proprietor Restore to the People every governmental power. --- RESIDENCE BELL 18 Whenever the time comes when everybody is satisfied then surely has the millenium dawned and all things made new. Bluff and bluster at times seem all powerful, but by the time they have gone through the squeeze of the seize, but little is left except the wait of the vanquished. The seven little governors who would like to run this government on the Populist plan have officially announced that if they can not rule that they will ruin The "recall" and "resubmission" are about the same proposition, but some of the cranks on "recall" can't stomach "resubmission." It's awful funny what ideas some people have It has not been recorded in history as a fact, but if the truth were known the assassin of President McKinley still lives—not the hand that dealt the blow, but the instigator of the treacherous deed. After a long hard struggle on the part of white Georgians to prevent the colored people from using the name, emblems and insignia of the Knights of Pythias they have gone down in defeat to the black man. --- The recent rains throughout the state have put the farmers in good spines over the prospects of reaping a rich harvest. If the consumer could gain only a ray of hope, too, there would be general rejoicing. The colored Cubans have adopted the only reasonable course to rid themselves of a troublesome class of people who are impeding the progress of that government. They have ordered all those trouble developers to pack up their belongings and get hence to a clime more congenial to their health. If Americans will stay out of Cuba with their prejudice and hatred of the black man, Cuba will advance, but otherwise there will continually be internal strife, and where there is strife there can be no progress. Turn the rascals out. --- "Boss" Flinn, the most notorious political shyster in Pennsylvania's politics, has, through Mr. Theodore Roosevelt's most generous efforts, been elected National committeeman from the Keystone state. Mr. Flinn was kicked out of politics in that state some years ago as the rottenest rotten egg imaginable, but Mr. Roosevelt, with all his vaunted claims of repugnance for dishonest and corrupt bosses, gathers this brand of the unwashed tribe under his wing as a disciple of his own heart. And Roosevelt is sincere. The wall of the sorrow for equal suffrage press steadily on, and of the proposition vans in the states where the matter is before the voters this year, it will not be long before the women will have fall and equal rights with the man throughout the nation. But before the colored people vote to give women this right, they should must determine what are the ideas of the white women as to the rights of such sisters in black. Now is the time to place them on record. Make them take a stand—in private proposition from one here and there, but a declaration from the clubs in bold faced type. See to it now. --- Topka's merchants sell like coyotes when its customers pattern outside cities, but they cannot see on the other side of the force when they refuse to support home institutions. The Plaindealer circulates among a class of people almost wholly buyers, yet our generous hearted merchants don't believe that it might to exist. The Plaindealer pays out more money in Topka than any other local institution in the state and most all of this money is divided among the merchants, and 90 per cent of said money come from outside of Topka but our merchants don't appreciate it, and show their contempt by their every day actions in advertising in everything but the Plaindealer. It would pay some selling colored paper in Topka to get in touch with our customers and trade any of the colored people. Here are some merchants in Topka who would be delighted to be relieved of a class of customers that they do not appreciate. --- EXIT ROOSEVELT. The great Republican National convention of 1012 will soon have passed into history. It will go down as the most turbulent in the history of the party, and no such similar one is recorded. Four years ago Theodore Roosevelt declared to the people of this nation that "under no circumstances would he agian be a candidate for or accept another nomination for the presidency of the United States," and was the leading factor in securing the nomination and election of Wm. H. Taft to that high office. Before Mr. Taft had served out two years of his term Mr. Roosevelt had jumped again into politics with boots and spurs. His entry into the game was repulsed by a decisive vote in the state of New York, and this repulse so angered the sage of Oyster Bay that he suiked for more than a year and friend nor foe could get a word from him until he had finally made up his mind that he would seek revenge for the drubbing administered to him nearly two years ago. He found balm for his injured feelings in the kind solicitations of the trust magnates and their handle of shush fund at his disposal. He got busy on some ideas for a change of front and finding that the garments of Democracy fitted him to a "1" he darned them and strutted forth to do battle to any who dared to kick his hat out of the ring. Every one said, lopped-cared, crooked politician that he could master into his service was adopted into himself that they might "help spend" Perkins' barrcl, and in glittering imment and coats of his. He ran up and down the length and breadth of the land seeking what he might devour, claiming the earth and the fullness thereof, with the sun, moon and stars thrown in as his own, and himself as the only man fit to rule over them. Every man who dared oppose him was classed as a tyrant, an unde-irritable. President Taft was likened to the most wicked doiler in the informal regions, the wonder-worker in iniquity. Every act of Mr. Taft's was distorted into the machinations of the evil one. No man except his own henchmen were at to remain in politics and he proceeded forthwith to declare them no longer party associates. The National committee was threatened with annihilation, and the convention itself was dared to perform its duty as it saw fit, but with all the bluff and bluster of this power-crazed crank and hypocrite, the National committee finished its labors and the convention assembled with the same degree of composure as though Theodore Roosevelt had never been on earth. The storm of abuse was continued in a gust of noise when Chamman Root allowed three hours in which spellbenders could relieve their langs of the congested "air" pressing for more room. Threats and cajoling on Mr. Roosevelt's part could make no inroads into the Taft forces, which stood as firm as the rock of Gibraltar, and the Negro delegates, when Roosevelt had counted on to "real out" proved as pure gold just from the crumble, except in one instance, and that disgraceful traitor will go to his grave with the mark of Cain branded on his forehead, and Mr. Roosevelt was learned a lesson that some clered men tell "I am a card-sack" in manhood and integrity, and his efforts to bring them was repaired hard on their refusal to be made the most despicable character on earth, Mr. Roosevelt realized that his aspirations for a third term candidate had gone aggrimming—known into a cocked hat, and he turned from the stage of a town a distracted and rejected moral of plain humanity. Mr. Roosevelt declared a few days ago that he would have chosen a nominee and he has gotten it. He was nominated for their poll on the good old ship, "Deep water," headed up the waters of "Salt" river and bound for the port of "Oklahoma" in the land of "Forgettrait." Where he can raise supreme among the disappointed hosts gone before, unwell, unhonored and strang. The only thing that kept Kroes well from bolting the convention was the lack of strength. When such men as Gov. Hudley of Michigan and Gov. Dewey of Illinois relied to sustain the idea of a bolt, he realized that he was a gone good and gave up in despair. But if the matter of a bolt had been checked up in the Kansas organization of self-defense companies, the would have been a bolt and a bolt.

Nero, Who Died May 10, 1912. On Sunday, June 9, the teachers and pupils of Garrison school met at Pleasant Green Baptist church to hold Memorial services on the life and character of Mrs. Mary E. Nero, for twenty-five years a teacher in the Garrison school, and over thirty years a teacher in the Kansas City public schools. The pupils of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades rendered very sweetly, "Load Kindly Light," "Thy Will be Done," and "Rock of Ages," all of which were favorite hymns of Mrs. Nero. The following resolutions were read by Mr. David G. Watson, from the teachers of Garrison school "The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal; every other affliction, to forget; but this w and we matter it a duty to keep open. This affliction we chalish, and broad over in solitude. Where is the mother who would willingly let the infant that has perished in a bloom from her arms, then every recollection is a parg? Where is the child that would willlain to forget a tender parent, though a remember he but to lament? Wh even in the hour of agony, would forget the funeral, over whom he runs?" Resolutions on the Death of Mary 1. zero. Whereas, the late Mary I. Nero has been removed from our custody by death, and whereas, she had seen a teacher in Garrison school at the past twenty-five years, and is earnestly devoted to her pupils and her work, he it resolved, that by her death, we have lost a valuable member, whose wise counsel and courteous manner had won for her our highest esteem and sincere admiration. The success of those uncle her care was her most abiding donation, and nothing grieved her more than the thought that she might have fallen short in her efforts, that she had not extended the full measure of sympathy. She was a true friend a mental companion, and a faithful worker. The teachers of Garretton said that in her death, the saint has lost an abiding friend, and a efficient and devoted worker. She died in beauty, Bleam from its parent stem; She died in beauty—like a pearl Dropped from some diadem. She died in beauty—like the snow "give On flowers dissolved away; She died in beauty—like a star Lost on the brow of day. She lives in glory—like night's gems Set round the silver moon; She lives in glory—like the sun Amid the blue of June." Respectfully submitted, IDA V. RAILEY M. V. THORNTON DAVID G. WATSON Dr. T. C. Unthank spoke of Mrs. Nero's work in Douglas hospital and along all lines of charity—and her quick response always to the voice of distress. As one who had been associated with her for years he could testify that hers was a life of self denial and work to ameliorate the condition of the needy and unfortunate, and as she took upon herself so many care and was so helpful in so many directions, her place will be hard to fill. Mrs. McClellan read a paper—"Sketches of her life," beautifully prepared by Mrs. R. T. Cole. Miss Overall related feelingly, "Abide with me." Prof. R. T. Cole spoke of the departed one with the sensibility of a friend, with the sorrow of one who has lost a friend, with that appreciation of her character and life which comes from having associated with her for more than a quarter of a century. He said that her life was centered within a circumference that widened to the limits of humanity. Her work in church, in school and for humanity at large was only the outward expression of a heart full of love and charity. She was patient, kind and of long suffering, never complaining, on account of this trait of character, she was frequently imposed on. She always looked for the beautiful and perfect, and hers was indeed a nature made for service and trained from the beginning to strong endeavor. The remarks of Mrs. Mollie Williams, herself a prominent charity worker in the north ord and president of the Mother's Union of Gartison school, were especially fitting and culigustic of Mrs. Nero's work, as she had been associated with her for years in work pertaining to the uplift and betterment of conditions among our people. All agree that Mrs. Nero's place will be hard to fill, and unmitigated sorrow is expressed at her demise. DEWEY, OKLA.

There are many preparations highly advertised to do the work, but it is probably your experience that none of them will really meet the claims of their manufacturers. There are many so-called hair restorers which are nothing more than harmful chemical dyes, which do not grow any hair, the only result being that they dye the hair, having no pemarency and often causing a streaky appearance. It has been the aim of the chemists for years to discover a preparation which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, but heretofore they have met with no success. Prof. Rembler now claims to have discovered a combination of harmless vegetable composition which is a Genuine Hair Restorer and will grow hair and does not contain any dye of any kind, but will positively restore the natural color and brilliancy to gray and faded hair. This is a very strong statement to make and if any chemist without the recognized ability and national reputation of Prof. Rembler were to make this claim we would be inclined to be skeptical as to its truth. It will be remembered by reader that are familiar with scientific discoveries that Prof. Rembler was the inventor of the one fire process for gilding glass and also the Rembler Wireless Coherer. Any statement made by Prof. Rembler is entitled to consideration as he would not make any statements which were not true and would injure his established reputation. The Sileron Mfg. Co. of Pueblo, Colo, ahve purchased the exclusive American rights to manufacture Sagineine, as they have named Prof Rembler's invention, after having made a six months' test of Sagine and thoroughly demonstrating that it would positively do the work. The Siluron Mfg. Co. have authorized us to make the following remarkable offer to all who need a "genuine Hair Restorer." They will send a written agreement with every bottle of Sagine, to the effect that if one bottle of Sagine is anciently used according to the directions does not give entire satisfaction to the purchaser of Sagine does not actually grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, remove dandruff and make the hair healthy and glassy, that they will pay the sum of $5 to any dissatisfied purchaser. This is the strongest offer ever made by any manufacturer and one they could not possible make if they did not know positively from experience that it would do exactly what they claim for it. No one can take any chance in buying Sagine as it is certainly worth $1 to use a Genuine Hair Restorer that will really grow hair, and if it does not give satisfaction they will pay you the $5 as agreed. Send a $1 bill to the Siloron Mfg. Co.

There is a pett saying going the rounds, "Back to the farm" and I can not close this address without calling attention to the fact that a large number of the young people of my race are making the serious mistake of leaving the farm to come into the congested cities and towns, where they can barely eek out a living rather than remain upon the fertile soil where they cannot only become independent, but where the opportunities for developing the mind is unsurpassed by the cities. It will not be denied that some of the greatest man that this or any other century has produced came from the farm, and I would say as to the inducement it offers the aspiring youth, that the patriarch Job says "As for the earth, out it cometh bread, and under it is turned up as it were fine. The stones of it are the place of saplures, and it hath dust of gold" Go and seek the gold. Let me conclude by relating a story told of two young ladies whose parents sent them away to school, and by hard labor and much self-sacrifice, were able to keep them there until they graduated. When the Commencement was over these girls went to their respective homes. One of them on arriving at home after greeting her dear old mother, and father began to find fault with every thing about the place; the cooking did not suit her, the furniture in the house was to "old timey," the rough country boys were unfit for her association, and she persuaded her parents to sell the old homestead and move into the city. They did not get enough for the place to buy a home in the city and furnish it according to the notion of the daughter, hence they rented a home and furnished it well, but the little money left soon ran out and the father had to hire out by the day to make a living; his health soon failed and the mother had to take in washing to support the family, etc. The other girl on teaching home ran and threw her arms around her mother's neck, kissed her and began at once to tell her how glad she was to be back home once more; how she had longed to cat some of the biscuits which mama used to make, and when she was through with greetings she began to ask about the old farm boys she left there when she went away to school, and began to plan to receive them as they would most certainly call Night came on she was still full of sunshine and did not wait for her mother to set the table but went at that little task over the mother's protest Supper was over and all had gathered for the evening prayers and the old man remembered that he had bought his daughter an organ and after reading the twenty third Psalm he asked her to play a song; the daughter went to the organ and began to play, "Jesus lover of my soul." As the old man meditated on what a blessing that child was to his household tears of joy ran down his chicks, he caught them in his hand, and dished them on the floor where he would in a few moments kneed in them and thank God for the blessing with which he had crowned his life.

Financial Condition of the People Throughout the Kansas City District. Mr. President and Members of the District Conference: We, your committee on the financial condition of the people throughout the Kansas City District, beg leave to submit to you our report as follows: We have carefully taken into consideration the financial condition of affairs in the district and find them in a few places fair and normal, while in others they are not favorable and encouraging at all. There have been strikes in most of the mining localities that have affected the financial condition of our people no little. This is also true of the cement plants in Iola and other places. Those conditions have very materially affected our church work in all these places. Speaking generally, times are not as good financially at the present as they have been in recent years, owing largely to the extremely long and severe winter, sickness and shortness of labor. While we know of no extreme suffering, yet the financial embarrassment naturally affects the people's liberality toward the church, her institutions and other charitable causes. The class of our people blast with steady employment are hardly a liberal under the financial stringencies as they generally are otherwise. It is to be deplored that in some of our localities, especially, our people are not given an equal showing in the industrial world. In many instances, they are barred, restricted and shut out, not for want or lack of qualification, physically or intellectually, but solely on account of color. We condemn the efforts that are being made in some localities to draw the line on our people in certain pursuits, made time honored by their skill and faithfulness to duty; such as hotel waiting, portering, coachmanship, etc. The Negrs in all of these, as in many others were skilled, has given to them their scientific development, without striking and causing other embarrassments and inconveniences to the public welfare. And row we condemn, as brutally unfair, un civil, un-American, and unbrotherly, all class legislation, union restrictions, personal prejudice, etc. that has f- their object the supereding the Negrs with foreign labor or drawing the line because of color or previous conditions. We ask no special favors, but to simply be given a man's chance among men. All things considered, we are glad to say, that the progress being generally made by our people, is something remarkable and borders onto the wonderful. There is more GUTHRIE, OKLA.
