THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER A SURVEY OF THE KANSAS CITY NEGRO! Mr. A. E. Martin Presents Some Interesting Facts and History in The Kansas City Star. Historical Society State House culation 9,000 Guaranteed Fourteenth Year. No. 48. The Gubernator A SURVEY OF THE KANS Mr. A. E. Martin teresting Facts a The Kansas A. E. Martin, teacher of history and civics at the Westport High School, spent three months, working from six to eight hours a day, collecting data regarding the Negroes of Kansas City, and after he had collected the data he spent one month, working eight hours a day, in writing it, and the result is thirty thousand words and more facts about the Negro in Kansas City than ever were gathered together before. In collecting his data Mr. Martin visited hundreds of Negro homes and talked with thousands of Negroes. After he had written what he had found out, he used the article as a thesis for a master's degree at William Jewell College at Liberty, Mo., and he received the degree. The material for the study was collected in January,February and March of this year. Mr. Martin found that the white population of Kansas City is 224, 680 and the Negro population 23, 566, and that of forty thousand property owners, eight hundred are Negroes. He found that real property owned by whites was assessed in 1911 at $123,017,780, and that property owned by Negroes was assessed at $1,400,000. Personal property owned by whites was assessed at $7,942,894, and personal property owned by Negroes at one-half million dollars. The white per capita realty wealth is $543.69, and the Negro $59.40. Fifty Negroes own property valued at above $10,000; one hundred between $5,000 and $10,000; two hundred between $1, 000 and $5,000, and 450 between $5000 and $1,000. The comparative figures show that the Kansas City Negro is worth $2801 more than the average United States Negro. Only 2,000 Paid Taxes. Mr. Martin found that about half of the Negro property of Kansas City is in the possession of fifty persons, that of this half, one fourth is in the, possession of eight persons, and further, that of this $237,500 more than one-half, or $140,000, is owned by one man, thus showing that the wealth of the Negro, as well as that of the white man, is concentrated in the hands of a few men. Mr. Martin found that only about two thousand of the seven thousand Negro men over 21 years of age in Kansas City paid taxes, either personal or real, during 1918, so that not more than one Negro man out of every three pays any form of taxes. Mr. Martin found that the Negro home-owning district of Kansas City lies between Lydia and Kansas atraets. In a house-to-house canvas in the Negro property owning district the following results were obtained: Homes owned on Highland. bet. 12th and 27th streets.....104 Woodland, bet. 12th. and 14th streets.....12 Woodland bet. 24th. and 27th streets.....27 Flora, bet. 23rd. and 25th streets.....7 Michigan, bet. 24th and 26th streets.....35 Vine, bet. 12th and 15th sts.....15 Cottage, bet. Flora and Woodland Avenue.....18 Howard, bet. Vine St and Woodland Avenue.....7 Mr. Martin found that there was a considerable settlement of Negro owners in Centropolis and also between Agnes street and Walnut Avenue on Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth streets. Between forty and fifty Negroes have purchased there during the two years. A Negro realty company sold to Negroes during 1911 $69,000 worth of real estate. This company has been in business five years and during that time only We Pay $421,000 in Tips. There are about 1,415 Negroes employed as waiters and porters in hotels, barber shops and on trains, who receive an average guaranteed salary of $26 per month, or $312 per year, making a total annual income of $111,480. According to information personally given by about seventy-five employees, the average annual income is $600,90, which gives a total annual income of $861,000. In other words, the people of Kansas City pay annually in tips $421,520. Mr. Martin ventures the opinion that the tip system is absurd. The TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 29, 1912. The Negro and The Saloon. Only seven of the 596 saloons in Kansas City are operated and owned by Negroes. About fifty white saloons east of Troost Avenue on Eighteenth Street, Nineteenth St and Vine Street that sell to the Negroes of that vicinity about $150,000 worth of liquors each year. The expenditure of the district north of Eighth Street and east of Main Street is about the same. In all other sections of the city the annual expenditure is about $100,000, giving a total of $400,000 by the 23,566 Negroes in Kansas City. The eight thousand Negro families of the city, therefore, spend on an average $50 each for alcoholic drinks each year. Seventy-five percent of the Negroes in Kansas City live within two blocks of at least one saloon. Half the liquor purchased is bought by the can and drank in the homes. Mr. Martin was in sixty different homes where 220 persons were drinking when he called. One afternoon standing on the corner of Independence Avenue and Troost, Mr. Martin counted twenty-two pails of beer that were taken out of one saloon in less than thirty minutes. He found that only a small per cent of the Negro property owners were habitual drinkers. "The following table," Mr. Martin says, "gives a comprehensive view of the different items of expenditure for the entire Negro population of the city". Alcoholic drinks ... $ 400,000 Barber work ... 114,000 Car fare ... 150,400 Clothing ... 393,200 Chutch ... 38,000 Dues, insurance and fraternal orders ... $175,000 Food ... 1,619,280 Fuel and lights ... 193,440 Funerals ... 60,000 Pool hall ... 45,000 Theaters ... 30,000 Tobacco ... 30,000 Taxes ... 21,170 Rent ... 900,120 Other expenses and saving ... 242,730 Total ... $4,419,140 8.015 Lodge Members. 8,015 Lodge Members. "An income of $600 or over probably permits the maintenance of a normal standard, at least as far as the physical man is concerned. With such an income the Negro is able to buy food enough to keep soul and body together and clothing and shelter to meet the most urgent demands of decency. Thee percent-manda of decency. The percent-ency tends to diminish as the income increases, though extravagant families are found in all the income groups." COFFEYVILLE. KANSAS. The body of Corneltous Fowler, a stone mason who formerly lived here, was shipped here Sunday, 24th from Stroud, Okla. He was killed Friday night at that place while trying to stop a fight at a church. Clarissa Hollins is on the sick list. Mr. Charles Blackwell, who left Coffeyville sometime ago and went to St. Louis to work in a muldering shop, is now in Chattanooga, Tenn., and has married a young lady of the Tuskegee Institute Miss Crotina Knuck is on the sick inst. Dr. Baskett is attending her. Rev. Cartwright is out of the city again. There were excellent services all day at the Macedonia church Sunday. Miss Myrtle Rucker is on the sick list. The Forum met at the A. M. E. church last Sunday. The organization is all right but it seems that our people are hard to get the correct understanding of the meaning of the Forum. Mrs. J. Fox is improving after a few days illness. Miss Joella Johnson of Chanute, Kan., visited Miss Queen Henry Sunday. She returned to her home Monday expressing her gratitude toward Miss Henry and the young people of Coffeyville for their loyalty shown her while in the city. Mrs. M. J. Dickson, wife of Mr. Dickson, the tailor, is very ill. The rally that was given at the First Baptist church Sunday was quite a success. They realized $113. The church is still prospering under Rev. P. D. Skinner, pastor. LEAVENWORTH, KAN. On November 20th I had the pleasure of attending the most beautiful social function ever given in this city, the event being the third annual visit of the Progressive Art club of Kansas City, Kansas, to the home of one of their Leavenworth members, Mrs. Jason J. Jackson, 718 Fifth Ave. Each room of her little cottage was artistically decorated in the P. A. C. colors, pink and green which color was carried out in the most minute detail everywhere. By 1:30 p. m. thirty-five members and friends from Kansas City had arrived and were greeted by the President of the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs, Miss. Lula Harris, who had arrived on an earlier train from Ropeka, Kan. After the informal reception for the President the guests were conducted to the parlor, where to the surprise of every one a miniature stage had been erected and upon which was tendered one of the most delightful programs ever presented to a house party. The entertainers were all Leavenworth ladies and proved without a doubt that Leavenworth need not be ashamed of her talent. The first number on the program was an original poem of greeting by Mrs. Julia Robinson, which won the ear of her hearers; this was followed by a vocal selection by our sweet voiced singer, Mrs. Ada Montgomery; Mrs. Caraloyd Jones then gave a receipt for making good clubs which was so well received that the general sentiment was for all of the clubs to copy; Mrs. Georgia Harrison our elocutionist, gave two most excellent dialect readings, vividly bringing before our memory the past times in our race which are quickly gliding away. Mrs. John Williams read a paper, the title of which was "Women." It drew the picture of six types of women and let each of us see ourselves as others see us. The hostess then presented a monologue, which for mirth and side splitting situations was unsurpassed by none. The program was followed by a delicious four course luncheon in which the national November bird figured cosciously, at the table of honor was seated Miss Lula Harris, P. of S. F. of C. W. C.; Mrs. J. W. Jacobs, president of P. A. C., and First Vice President of the S. F. of C. W. C.; Mrs. C. W. Anderson, Vice President of P. A. C.; Mrs. Edna Swain, Secretary of P. A. C.; Mrs. Frank Neal, guest from Salt Lake, Utah, and Mrs. T. Jones and Mrs. Napper, guest from Adelphia Club, Kansas City, Kansas. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in song and mucis, as it was found that the rooms contained many ladies with musical talent; among some later arrivals who came to spend the evening was: Mrs. K. Cummings, chaplain of P. A. C.; Mrs. Waldron and Mrs George Gamble, of Kansas City, Mo; all told the afternoon will long be remembered in the minds of all present as one of the happiest events of their life.

A report comes from Joplin, Mo. about a colored minister whom we know is innocent of any wrong doing toward any woman or girl in that or any other city. He is the "goat" for a few criminal white men who use people like the Reverend to shield them. We know Rev. Brownlee personally and will vouch for him any old day. He is a kind, polite, inoffensive fellow, one who can be imposed upon; especially by designing, white men for whom he slaved for years before Lincoln issued that memorable document granting him the same rights as other men. We think his office was used by white men as a harem. They imposed upon his good nature and when the crisis came, they forsook him as most of them will and joined the crowd that is yelling "lynch him." Brownlee has committed no crime have to allow those wreckers of moral women to meet and consort at his place. Let the good people stand up for right. Have the Reverend exposed those immoral lepers who are running good families. They are the ones to lynch and burn instead of this poor defenseless Negro. If he had not let these same fellows use him, they would in all probability destroyed him in another way. It is time that the good, decent, law abiding citizens of all races were getting together and fight down this evil that is threatening everyone in this country. The white people may as well understand that they cannot protect the virtue of their girls and at the same time give no protection to girls of other races. Let men and women of all races get busy and lend a hand in stamping out this evil. A 17-year-old white girl who had served Brownlee as a stenographer committed suicide in his office, and now dire threats of lynching are being made on all sides and many colored people were forced to seek protection elsewhere. WEIR CITY. KANSAS. WEIR CITY, KANSAS. The revival meeting now in progress at Saint John church is meeting with great success. Seventeen members have been added to the church. Rev. D. B.

The country is settling down to its normal composure, from the excitement occasioned by the result of the late election, which brought about the election practically, of the larger portion of the Democratic ticket throughout the entire country. This should cause no alarm however; but it has been a dread among a part of the American people, the electing of a Democratic president and congress, which they have an idea will bring about a disruption of the affairs of the country. Why the people should entertain any feeling of this nature is not plain enough to be understood, since under our form of government there will always be more than one political ticket in the field, and the chances for success are good for one as the other. The election of Mr. Wilson to the presidency is the third Democrat to be elected to that office since 1860, and when he shall have rounded out the four years of his administration it will be twelve years out of the fifty-six that a Democrat has been at the head of our government. Whatever means the Republican party have employed to hold the reins of government so great a length of time is indiscernable to the average citizen, but whatever methods they have employed, it is doubtless if any one party will ever hold the power as long again, in this country. The great Democratic majorities that were rolled up throughout the country, and the adoption of woman suffrage in several new states, is significant of a radical change in the country's politics. One fact that it has clearly demonstrated is the elimination of the Negro vote, which no one party has been responsible for, but it has apparently been the field against the Negro. He has been allowed to cast his vote but afterwards it was counted out. For many years the political machine of the country has been working to this end. In may of the Southern States the enactment of laws were necessary to deprive him of the elective franchise, and there has been such protest against the practice, that I do not believe that the North will, to any extent, adopt his method of robbing him of his vote. But, on the other hand the North intends to eliminate the Negro vote as fast as it possibly can; it will be found that with the increasingly large number of foreign born voters that are coming to our shores each year, that in a short time the Negro vote will be of little consequence. It cannot be disputed but that in this country all nationalities are placed on a higher scale than the Negro, despite the fact that he has been a great factor in the making thereof. When the foreigner comes to the United States and locates in the large city, he is imbued with the new individual freedom he enjoys, as he perceives the wealth and prosperity of people who have been successful, at inherited from ancestors the accumulation of many generations of labor, he becomes dissatisfied, and wants immediately to divide with the rich, not feeling content to wait until he can become fore-handed and prosperous, in a generation or two, by means of intelligent industry and education. He will in almost every instance become tinctured with socialism, and arrives himself against the government because it does not at once enrich him. It is to this element that corrupt political machines appeal by promises of patronage and distribution of alms in one shape or another, under the guise of friends of the poor. It takes something like two or three generations to get the kinks out of the immigrant's brain, and put him on the level with the average American-born citizen, who depends on his own head and hands for advancement rather than on the government. The Negro race with almost three centuries of residence in America to its credit has less to do and say, in the affairs of the public than any other people in this country; American bred, American born, and when encouraged, it emulates the example of the highest type of citizenship, but yet it must bring up the rear. It is high time that the Negro begin to study these conditions, and make good for whatever is lacking on his part. For some years following his emancipation, when he was yet uneducated, in a number of Southern States, he was allowed to hold office, and he was represented in the national legislature. The question that presents itself now is one of high importance to the country at large, and one that should be sought out by every Negro minister, teacher and leader everywhere. must concentrate his energies on the things that go to make of men and women citizens who will command the respect of everyone. There is one thing that is certain the Negro who claims to be influential in political circles or any other sphere of activity, in the future will have to prove himself, because every time the white man can buy a Negro vote for a dollar or a pint of whisky, it makes the Negro face smaller in the white man's estimation, and makes it weaker in reality. The time has come for every Negro to show his method, to do what is right, and then, he will not be ashamed to ask for a reasonable share of his rights. Above all, the Negro should stand on his dignity. Under Democratic rule in many states no doubt there will be many laws enacted that in all probability will work against the Negro's interest; as far as he is concerned, there is North and South, from every quarter uses the odum of American prejudice and every year brings him nearer the place where he will have to depend upon his own efforts, and draw upon his own resources. Some Negro will be given appointive offices under the incoming administration, a great many more will give up their places, but whatever the outcome may be the Negro will find that in the next two years, that his vote will be little solicited in those states that have extended the suffrage to women. There are good reasons for the belief that the greater part of the women's vote will go to the Democratic party; woman's suffrage is going to be the stick with which the Negro's political head is to be broken, because the women are going to vote to eliminate him from politics. Whatever the advantages may be to the Democratic party, accruing from the added strength of the women's vote in a few states, it is not believed that the Democratic party will long retain the reins of government. The party is on trial now, it is on its last legs, and if the incoming Democratic administration fails to measure up to the expectations of the people, we be unto it, for that party will never elect another president. Democratic leaders have promised so much that the people are looking forward to an era of prosperity such as the country has never before witnessed. To the Negro, I would say, in any event, and under whatever political banner you intend to march, have respect for your race, be men, and always strive to raise yourselves to a higher level because the present age is one that demands men and women of high ideals and of gilteded characters. Should we not labor to attain to these? In the Probate Court of Shawnee County, Kansas in the matter of the Estate of Thomas Butler, deceased.

At a local Farmers' Institute compiling three school districts: Blue Mound, Fairview and Walnut Grove, a corn contest for boys sixteen years old was held Nov. 22d. The first prize was a free trip to Manhattan during Farmers' week. The first prize was won by Russell White, a boy who has made his home with Ed. Harvey for the past five years—all other boys eligible to the contest were white. Otto Henric, another colored boy, won first in a contest for younger boys. This shows what our boy on the farm is doing. They should be congratulated on their ability to grow corn and select such samples as won them first prize awarded by the corn expert from the State Agricultural college at Manhattan who did the judging. Russell White has been in four contests and won first prize three times and second once. We hope some day to hear of Mr. White and Mr. Henric being ranked among the leading farmers of Kansas. BARTLESVILLE, OKLA. The entertainment given by Mrs. Matthew Johnson Saturday night was a complete success and some new faces was in evidence. Mrs. A. D. Holmes, wife of our former pastor, was up from Orelata Saturday shaking hands with friends. "Baby Mine" was at the Oklahoma theatre Monday night and pulled the usual crowd of Negro theatre goers. They allied conspicuous places in the Jim Crow corner. Self-respecting colored people should demand the same for their money as the whites do and until they come to that consideration Jim Crowism will ever be their portion. Wake up! If you want to get in touch with the better class of Negroes when coming to Bartlesville see Obie Johnson, secretary of the Social club. W. M. Bonner met the Mission sisters for the first last Thursday and had a nice time. An interview was had in regards to raising funds for the church. The literary is doing nicely and will elect delegates next Thursday evening to attend the Inter-State, which meets in Topeka December 26th. Mr. William Burkes of Perkins, Okla., was a visitor in the city last week and took an active part in the Sunday School and the zeal and wit he displayed in another sign of young Negro activity. We will say to Mr. Burkes to keep on until he reaches the goal. Mrs. Eula Norman, who has been secretary of the literary every since its birth, tendered her resignation to the society Thursday night, not that she has lost interest but she feels that there are others in the society to take her place, thus giving her a chance to sit in the audience. She believes she can do more good. We can say nothing of her but that she has been a faithful servant, deserving all the honor and praise that is in the community to give. She has not missed a single meeting and if we had more of her type it would be a honor to the society. We hope she will remain faithful to us as her position will be hard to fill. We are very sorry indeed to note the sudden relapse of Miss Edan Finnis, who has recently been sick. She had attended services and her duty as secretary of Sunday School and soon after she retired Sunday night she was taken seriously. We hope that her illness will not prove fatal.

Neat, conveniently arranged buildings, a well kept lawn attractively bordered with trees and shrubs add greatly to the appearance and value of the farm and to the happiness of its occupants, says a bulletin of the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station on "Planning and Adorning the Homestead." The farmstead, including as it does the general rice occupied by the farm buildings, house and lawn, is the center of activity for the farm its planning and development, both from THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Photograph by Long Island agricultural apartment station PRETTY APPROACH TO A FARMHOUSE. the standout out of convenience and of securing an attractive landscape effect, deserve special consideration. A well thought out plan is the first requisite to get these results, as in the absence of a definite scheme serious mistakes are likely to be made. This plan should include the location of buildings, drives, walks, trees, shrubbery, and every other feature which contributes either to the convenience or documentation of the place. It should be developed with the larger relationships always in mind. The location of the house and farm buildings is the first consideration. Even though it happens that some or all of these are already on the ground, a plan for their location is important. New farm homes are erected to supplement old ones and other new farm structures are added, which make practicable a general consideration of the entire building scheme. Material improvement can often be made in a farmstand by a readjustment as new buildings are put up, though the best results are obtained where things are planned right from the start. WONDERFUL FARMING. Dr Russell of Columbia university says the island of Guernsey is just about the size of one-half of a government township, six miles square, and very much the same shape if divided diagonally, say, from the northwest corner to the southeast corner. On this small territory 40,000 people and 10,000 cattle find subsistence. There's farming for you Hang Up the Bcythe. It is undesirable to leave a scythe lying about, yet it is equally difficult to find a suitable place to hang one. To hang it on a nail is to risk dulling the blade, while to hang it in the crotch of a tree is detrimental to the tree's welfare. However, there is a way. Obtain a V shaped crotch from an old limb, cutting one fork about a foot in length and the other about six inches. The rear side of the long fork is then trimmed down slightly so that it can be nailed uprightly to a flat surface. This will form a permanent place for the scythe, where the blade will not get dulled nor a fruit tree be injured.—Farm and Fireside. Around the Honey Makers. Comb honey that is to be sent to a distant market should be shipped before cold weather, since the combs become extremely fragile when cold. Change all falling or slow queens promptly and breed from the best you can secure, thus raising the standard of your stock step by step and improving the average year by year. The young bees, hatched from Aug 1 on, constitute the colony to be whitered, and for this reason it is wise to see that much brood is ready, even if you have to resort to stimulative feeding. As a rule, bees cast a prime swarm as soon as the first queen cell is sealed unless presented by bad weather; there fore the first young queen may be expected to emerge on the eighth day from the first swarm. When the nests are well distributed in a certain space their inmates can be more easily handled. It seems to improve their disposition, especially if there are not trees, shrubs or the like about it. Heeding is not so prevalent, either, and it is absence of that always helps to make bees better natured.

Services were well attended at both of the churches on Sunday throughout the day. The Second Baptist S. S. is steadily on the increase. Sister Gordon the uniting and efficient Superintendent is building up the school as never before. Our pastor, Rev. J. W. Gordon, is preaching a series of sermons on the miracles and parables of Christ. These sermons are being listened to with much interest. We are glad to announce that Rev. Gordon has fully recovered from the accident which he sustained from a fall. Both churches served dinner Thanksgiving. The ladies of the Second Baptist church rendered a drama at Klauman's hall Thanksgiving night, entitled, "The Bachelor Maids' Reunion." Mrs. Roena Fowler of South Chestnut street, continues quite all. Special meeting for men was well attended Sunday afternoon at Second Baptist church. Pastor C. A. Woods of A. M.

The Agricultural college supervises the work, assists in dating the institutes, and co-operates with the various local and county organizations in preparing programs which shall be interesting and helpful. As far as possible, the needs and interests of each community are considered, with the result that every institute becomes a conference of progressive farmers and business men for the discussion of live problems pertaining to agriculture and rural life. Everyone is invited to these meetings and to take part in the discussions. The institutes now number almost four hundred organizations, with a membership of more than sixteen thousand. They are becoming splendid conferences of business farmers and are a tremendous force for the upbuilding of agriculture. The institute at Indian Creek will be held on Thursday and Friday, December 12-13, and at Roseville, Saturday, December 14. Mr. W. S. Gearhart, Drainage and Irrigation Engineer, and Mr. George O. Greene, Specialist in Horticulture, from the Agricultural college will be present. In addition, local speakers who know intimately the problems of the community will give short addresses. The meetings cannot help but be profitable to everyone who attends. Each one will learn something to assist him over difficulties, to renew his enthusiasm, and to raise his ideals of life in a farm home. Come at 10 o'clock or earlier, when the first session is held, and stay for the whole institute. Bring samples of garden, farm, and orchard products for exhibition. In many towns it is the practice to close all stores and business houses for the entire afternoon when the institute is being held. NOICE TO AGENTS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
