THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Fourteenth Year. No. 49. Gov. Cole L. Ble KNIGHTS TEMPLAR GRANDEST KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONCLAVE GRANDEST AND BEST EVER! --- Thanksgiving Day Topeka Was In in the Hands of the Missouri Valley Templars Association---- Lawrence Wins Compitive Drill. The Kansas-Missouri Association held their annual conclave in this city Thanksgiving day. It was one of the grandest affairs held for several years. The following commandries were represented: The Far West, No. 3, Mr. Thomas Heaton, Captain General; Cyrone, No. 3, Mr. H. I. Monroe, Captain General; Northwest, No. 6, Mr. W. H. Jones, Captain General; Mt. Oread, No. 14, Mr. James Bowers, Captain General and Emanuel, No. 5, Mr. P. C. Kincaid, Captain General. A banquet and reception was held at the Masonic Temple, 404 Kansas Ave., after the grand street parade, headed by Jackson Military Band. Over three hundred Knights turned out in the parade in their beautiful uniform. They marched through the principal part of the city to the state house grounds where they were photographed. They then retired to the banquet hall where the wives and sweethearts of the Knights had prepared an eloborate banquet. These were several courses, in which wine and all the delicacies of the season were served. The following responded with toasts: S. G. Watkins, Knighthood and Religion; Mr. E. I. Lee, In Hoc Signo Vinces; Mr. H. R. Edwards, We think of those who are gone; Mr. W. G. Mosely, The Cross and Crown; Mr. R. E. Brown, Why Have We Thus Assembled; Sir A. D. Butler, E. G. C., The Missouri Jurisdiction. After the banquet the Knights marched to the Auditorium, where the different commandries engaged in a competitive drill. The first to display their skillful movements was the Far West Commandry. Their line up was as follows: H. R. Edwards, E. C.; Thomas, Eaton, Captain General; A. E. Adama, Ben Givins, L. D. Carter, H. Dotson, E. S. Lewis, C. H. Lewis, Geo. Thomas, Geo. Tyler, Arthur H. Hackley, E. S. Baker, Ed. Smith, Dan Martin. The second drill on the program was by the Cyrene Commandry. The following are the names of the participants: C. D. Mosa, Horace Willis, Lewis Porter, R. Estes, W. G. Williams, James Fitchue, C. C. Brocks, Joseph Curry, R. Hightower, D. F. Mallory, Samuel Payne, James John- Prosecution of Jack Johnson and persecution of him, or any other person, by legal process, by state or federal courts, or by mob writting public opinion, are not the same. No good citizen complains of legal prosecution of those who got tangled in the law and no good citizen should bottle his protest when legal prosecution is warped into legal persecution. The New York World, which always stands for the right as it understands the right, says: "The prosecution of Jack Johnson is becoming interesting in more ways than one. It is no longer a more record of incidents in the life of a dissolute pugilist. It is an issue of equal rights in the courts. "There is a growing suspicion that no matter how bad a man Johnson may be—and he is bad undoubtedly—popular clamor and race prejudice are making him blacker than he is. Whatever he may be he is entitled to his rights under the laws impartially administered. "The amount of bail required for him is larger than has ever been asked in a similar case. It is probable that no such sum would be demanded of any other man in America upon a like charge. "The courts should be no respector of persons. No man should Historical Society State House SQUARE DEAL FOR von, S. E. McCarroll, W. D. Cooper, R. S. Sims, Benj. Payne, Henry Murray, W. T. Martin, Wm. Smith, S. W. High. The next competitor was the Northwest Commandry of St. Joseph and the follows are names of those who of the drill corps: A. D. Butler, Emmett Parker, M. D. Lawrie, B. F. Graves, W. H. Young, J. H. Green, E. I. Lee, Wm. Washington, Adelbert Washington, M. L. Cessney, A. G. Carpenter, C. Whitney, W. H. Jones, Captain General. The fourth commandry on the program was Mt. Oread, No. 14, of Lawrence. This commandry deserves much credit and was awarded first prize. They went through their different movements without a mistake and never losing step. This is a young commandry and won the first prize at the last conclave. The drill corps was as follows: Officers, W. C. Brown, F. M. Stone, J. W. Clark, and James L. Bowers, Drill Master; W. C. Brown, Chas. McPike, Riley Rogers, Harrison McPike, Mack Brown, R. E. Brown, A. Wallace, Alfred Hultz, Joe Hughes, F. M. Stone, Virgil Lee, B. M. Hawkins, Henry Smith, Chas. Walker, Nero Sparks, Henry Gillum, James Wallace, D. W. Wadlington, H. S. Hubbard, J. W. Clark. The last competitor in the drill was the Emanuel Commandry, No. 25: These boys did some fine drilling and held their own. Although there was no second prize awarded on account of a disagreement of the judges, Emanuel did not fall far from it. The participants were as follows: P. C. Kincaid, Captain General; Wm. N. Carter, Standard Bearer; Geo. A. Robinson, J. W.; Samuel Winston, S. W.; L. P. Parteet, Wm. Richardson, Edw. Johnson, G. C. Cole, Irwin Johnson, W. G. Mosely, Chas. Monroe, A. W. Jones, Thos. N. Grant, F. L. Martin, Chas. Gillis, Sandy W. Myers, D. W. Pinkett, L. M. Shepherd, R. W. Marshall, Wm. Tooley, W. C. Mallory, J. L. Hill, P. I. Scott, C. R. Bruce, W. D. Lewis, Henry Powler, D. A. Graves, Thos. Watson. The judges were A. L. Lewis, B. L. Ward, W. T. McKnight, R. L. Scott and Peter Jones. These meetings are not only helpful to the Knight Templars, but to the whole race. There was never such an array of secret order men on the streets of Topeka and were recognized so by the public and the race should be proud of such a display of their men. Dinner was served for the benefit of the visiting Knights at the St. John A. M. E. church, Mt. Olive A. M. E. church and the B. St. Baptist church on the North side. Save to go to the Supreme Court at Washington to get reasonable bail in a criminal case not capital" No fairer statement of the case than this could be desired. We say further, that the persecution in Chicago that influenced the courts to fix unreasonable bail and compel an appeal to the Supreme Court at Washington is a dangerous public opinion, which turned upon itself in the Haymarket riots and is likely to turn upon itself at any time, because it is false to the invariable principles of justice, of the square deal. Already Johnson has been discharged by a Chicago civil magistrate for alleged violation of the White Slave act in the case of Lucile Cameron, who resolutely refused to testify against him. The seven counts on which he stands indicted for violating the law for transporting Belle Scheiber of Pittsburgh to points in various states, may or may not be sustained when the case come to trial; even in those cases it is the business of the court to pro-duce and not to persecute Johnson. As the World says, "Whatever he may be, he is entitled to his rights under the laws impartially administered" and should not be compelled to spend his money unnecessarily and unreasonably to get his rights.—New York Age.

In the world of today, the one great aim of every individual or band of persons is to do or perform some great deed that shall mark them as being in favor and at peace with nature, God and man. From the very earliest day of civilization there have been people that believe that they are living to be remembered by what they have done, hence their efforts tend toward doing the best, and saying the best that life can afford. Such is the fact of the Saint Stephens Baptist church. In this age of progress, there is no Christian organization that has moved toward its ideal completeness with more rapidity than this particular named church under the leadership of Rev. J. W. Hurst from its incipiency. The St. Stephen Baptist church is now reputed as one of the most advanced churches in the west. This is due to the fact that they have never lost sight of or failed to adhere to certain Christian virtues that insure success. Rev. J. W. Hurst being a strong man spiritually, with inspiration and ambition toward a goal that is far reaching, adds much to the cause. The church is not like the servants Annas and Fapphire, but pledges and then marks the in one unit with reverence to their leader standfastly on it. Thinking and considering which point the members expressed a desire to do something for humanity, using the church as a medium they divided themselves into clubs and proceeded to devise and adopt plans to pay off a debt of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) on the ground which the most magnific THE NEW YORKER THE LEGEND OF THE MISSING MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK REV. J. W. HURSE. Pastor Saint Stephen Baptist Church cient structure tests, that they may be free to devote their time to the saving of souls. Sunday Nov. 10th and 24th marked the most inspiring rally that was ever recorded in history of the St. Stephen Baptist church. Men of every profession were present and took a part in the programs and contributed liberally to the cause. Rev. G. H. Daniels and his congregation were present and contributed $15 05. Music was furnished by the Morning Star Baptist church choir. Rev. W. C. Williams of Ebenezer A. M. E. church delivered a most instructive talk subject, "Count One." His members contributed $11.28.

The clubs of St. Stephens Baptist church contributed as follows: New Hope club under the leadership of Sister Lizzie Logan, took the banner of the day for raising the largest amount of money being $328.67. The others followed in a sequential order, David Tribe, J. W. Jenkins, captain, $309.35; Sewing Circle, Sister Lottie Jones, president, $154.31; Converts club, Sister Alice Parker, president, $137.83; Sunday School, Sister Bertha Richard, superintendent, $130.23; Golden Leaf club, Joe Walker, captain, $66.80; Martha Washington club, Robert Hamilton, captain, $54.42; The Choir, Jessie Harris, president, $23.06; Miscellaneously and through public collection $140.40; making a grand total of $1,381.61. Mills Wholesale and Retail Dry Goods and Department Store. This store was established about twenty-five years ago, having at the time one of the largest stores for that period, still small in comparison with their present store, the biggest in the state. They have grown until today they occupy their own steel structure at the southwest corner of Kansas Avenue and ninth streets, overlooking the state capital on the west and the Santa Fe General Offices on the west and south. This being the pinnacle of the great white way at Ninth and the Avenue. Then building is 159 by 500 feet and is five stories high exclusive of basement. Mills carries the highest grade of all goods on the market and have a fine line of the best carpets and rugs. Then dress goods are shoe department are most complete. Also they LEWIS NICKENS, EDWARD J. JONES, GURTRUDE REED, Clerk, Committee Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Price $1,50 Per Year. have the largest and best stock of womens furnishings in the state. Don't buy elsewhere until you have visited this store. The firm has built its present fine business by square dealings with all. Children and persons not posted can trade there with the same safety as the most expert buyers. Milla rectifies all mistakes whether in favor of or against the firm. This company competes with the largest stores in Kansas City. Topeka people can get the same grade of goods of their local merchants and they can get them at a much lower price. Kansas City stores have an enormous expense and have to make up for it by higher prices. Topeka dealers do not have these large expenses and consequently the purchasers get the benefit of this difference in expenses. Topeka people should patronize home industries. BARTLESVILLE, OKLA. Mrs. Peak of Kansas, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Morrison, doing Thanksgiving and enjoying herself generally. The Sunday School Board met Monday night and elected the following officers: W. M.

Johnson, Bible class; Mrs. Eula Norman, primary class. We are more than glad to see our S. S. in such prospering condition. Dinner was served all day Thursday with a musical concert and discussion at night. All was a success. The Mission ladies did the serving, which was marked with promptness and great care. The church joins in congratulating them for their zealous work. Mrs. Ada Pinnis sang a beautiful solo, which was the master piece of the occasion. Mrs. Mary Woods, Mrs. Morrison, Miss Nancy Hopkins, of this city and Mrs. Peak of Kansas rendered music for the evening. After the exercises which was of short duration, M. Johnson opened the following discussion, "Does the Negro Profit by the Jim Crow Law in Oklahoma." It was quite difficult in starting until William Bonner and Mr. Byers for sake of an argument took the unpopular side by defending said law, saying it was unfair, but that oppression of this kind awakens the shiftless young Negro up to a sense of duty. He had no more than resumed his chair, when like a flash Mrs. Peak of Kansas, a visitor of Mrs. Morrison, made a sharp retort assisted by Mrs. Morrison, Mrs. Brown, who aroused much enthusiasm. Miss Eula Finnis after suffering a relapse, is able to be out again. Rev. J. N. B Walls of Chelsea, preached an inspiring sermon Sunday night to a fairly filled house and left Monday for Tulsa. Quarterly conference will convene December 11-15 at Bethel A. M. E. church. Come out and help make this the best quarter in the history of Battleville. Mrs. Eula Norman served steam and take to her class and the Sunday school at 5 o'clock last Sunday afternoon.

The colored people at this place enjoyed Thanksgiving in quite a different manner than usual. Quietness prevailed throughout the day. Dinners were served in many places and a general good time was enjoyed. We are glad to know that our people are looking to make the future more bright -more of a blessing for legacy for the coming generation. Oh, for the time to come when the colored people will back up the right principle at all times and all places! We generally judge the future of what the past has been and what the present is. Then considering things in that manner, as it is at present, I am compelled to say farewell to the dorsal oblique material left of this at H. flare low; the colors, have disappeared. We have climbed to the top of the highest mountains of faith to see if her colors could be discerned but they have gone eternally. The preacher, Rev. C. H. Holmes, preyed upon the daughter of Steward John. son and then escaped to Boley, where he was arrested and held 24 hours. Johnson failed to appear against him in time and he was released and is now in the bushes hiding from the officers. On for the faith that will not sink, though pressed by every foe. Last June this same preacher tried to prey upon some of the fair sex of the church, but some of the faithful kept strict account on his every action and charges were presented against him in the District Conference and he was found guilty as charged, but possessed of the devil he went to the General Conference, and the Bishop overruled the lower decision and allowed him to remain. The officers of the church then refused to turn over to him the money, books, etc., and they were arrested, but the justice court sustained our contention and sent us back to the church, and found Holmes guilty of immoral conduct. Still, some of those who are now his enemies, stuck by him and they are now trapping their reward. Truth crushed to earth will rise again and it is true in this man's case. The right will triumph. We are now living in the sunlight of God's gospel and have the respect of the citizens who believe in fair dealing. Now that the devil has departed let us all join together and Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Praise Him above, ye Holmes host! You're respectfully, L. A. ANDERSON. The Mission Circle rendered an excellent program Thanksgiving event at the Odd Fellows' hall, entitled "Cornecha," in five acts. The hall was well filled.

Mr. Johnson is a town with a colored population of about 6,000 and this position should meet with fine success. Mr. Johnson was in the employ of the Missouri Pacific railroad for many years—twenty-two in all, and it is good that he is able to engage in business along this line and assist others as well as himself. He deserves the hearty support of the colored people of his town. He still retains his home at Neveda, Mo. Mr. Peter Spotts has returned from a trip to his old home at Roanoke, Va., where he visited his sister and other relatives whom he had not seen for forty-six years.

He asks his old master's son, who is in a desperate condition. He says his old friends are still whittting dry goods boxes and chewing long-green tobacco. He also brought a number of photos of his relatives. He said he would not trade an acre of Kansas land for a thousand acres of that old Virginia mountain land. The colored people of Roanoke are in pretty good circumstances. They are enclosed in the various kinds of business. The wage scale is small, ranging from twenty-five cents to $1.25 per day. Mr. Spotts brought back several old Southern relaes among them a bottle of old corn whiskey, which he will open Christmas. J. H. Nichols, have returned to their home in Missouri.

To the Colored People of the South; This season of the year, for several years, I have spoken a word to you regarding the importance of building up a good, first-class school in every community. Plans are on the way by which during the third week in Oct. 1914, the colored people throughout the United States will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their actual freedom as a race. In this connection it is of the greatest importance that we be able to show to the world the progress that we have made in sustaining and building up first-class public schools, especially in the total districts. During the last fifty years we have succeeded in reducing our ignorance from 95 to 30 per cent. This is a fine showing for fifty years of freedom. We must not stop—we must go further. The greatest points of weakness just now are in the small country districts. In every case where there are already proper school facilities, the business men, together with the ministers and teachers, should appeal constantly to the public school authorities to see that better provisions are made. Unless we look out for ourselves, we cannot expect other people to do so. As an illustration of what united and constant effort can accomplish, I would state that during the last five years, the colored people in Mason county, Alabama, have contributed $12,135.05 toward the building of new schoolhouses; in addition they have contributed $14,000 toward the extension of school terms in the county. The result is that nearly every school district in Mason county has a first-class school house, well painted and well furnished; the school term has been extended from four to seven months in the year, and the people are continuing to contribute in the way of extra taxation toward the upkeep of public schools. Something of this king can be done in every county in the South where there are not satisfactory facilities. In order to indicate the problem that is before us, I understand, on good authority, that in Louisiana in one parish where there are 8,000 colored WONDERFUL RESULTS ON SHORT NOTICE I have used your Pomade.

The club colors—red, white and blue were afflicted through the rooms at 11 as the club opened with a national anthem, an inspiration was fondly imprinted upon our minds in memory of our honorary member. Mrs. Payne never to be forgotten. The following program was rendered as a diversion for the afternoon: Mrs. M. Wonton Mrs. H. Candler Mrs. Joe Bell Mrs. S. Carroll After the program the hostess served a portion of Thanksgiving dinner, which bespoke in itself the culinary and artistic taste of the hostess. Members present were Mrs S. Cromwell Mrs M. Woolnorth Misses Maid I. Jimmy Gladys Stevenson, Mrs Luth. Colburn. Joe Bell Mrs John McCallough; Guests of the club were Mrs. Tullon B. Smith Mrs. J. W. Anderson, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Downing, Mrs. Reeves, Weub, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Bevclan, Mrs. Rowland and Mrs. Leon Rowland, all of whom were residents of Newton. At the appointed time, after presenting the hostess with a beautiful handpainted plate, all dithered declaring Mrs. Payne an ideal hostess. The Old Lellows banquet Thursday night was a decided success. Mr. W. L. Bell, of Newton spent two days, visiting in the city. Dr. P. L. Barnett, of Wichita, was in the city visiting relatives one day this week. Mr. Shelly Shinn, of Topeka spent Thanksgiving as the guest of Miss Grace Gothard. Miss Beulah Baugh was hostess to a pleasant house party Friday evening of last week in honor of the holiday visitors. The young mens club has planned a stag party in honor of Mr. Shelly Shinn. The Excelsior Art and Literary club met Nov. 20 with Mrs. A Lee. The response at roll call was a description of your favorite flou, and the club listened to some interest thoughts on the subject of Botany. Mrs. Delbert Harrison and Mrs. Riley Wickliffe became members of the club. Mrs. Lee served a delicious luncheon in courses and a pleasant time was spent with the hostess. The next meeting will be with Mrs. K. Morris. On Last Wednesday evening the younger set gave a Thanksgiving ball at Broadus hall. The evening was delightfully spent Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Moore, of Newton, were charming host and hostess Thanksgiving at a seven clock dinner. Covers were land for the following guests: Rev. and Mrs. L. Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. Bludswaw, Mrs G.

The arrangement committee of the Mandy Literary society have planned to give a grand Musical in the near future for the purpose of sending a delegate to the Inter-State Literary. It is earnestly hoped that everyone will assist. M. V.

Of course, such a condition means ignorance, and ignorance means poverty, and poverty means crime. We must not cease to agitate the question of education to keep the like people in our communities in mind of concerning our educational interests and desires. We cannot get nothing for nothing. It is only through constant effort that we shall education for our children. While in many parts of the South national opportunities are so cow that it is almost discouraging, mothers sit on the outlook is bright, for example, at a meeting of the superintendents of Alabama, called by the State Superintendent of Education, in Montgomery a few days ago, the following comment, relating to the Negro, was unanimously en- It's providing him with schools of charms instead of poison and thinking he will make a better and are a fit institution, according to one that praises it. Others expressed their opinion on the Neuroscience education and it was the mannequin that the race could be aided as much as possible by the state. It is encouraging to note, too, that in many countries in the South, the teachers are under the supervision and guidance of Dr James H Dillard, president of the Ama T. Jeanes Fund, and are doing much to improve the education of the race and to bring about better relations between black and white people. These Jeanes Fund teachers should have the constant support and co operation of our leaders wherever they are at work. In conclusion, let me urge ministers, teachers, business men, women's clubs, and all classes to unite and make this a banner year in the matter of improving the public schools for our race.

Wednesday morning the press dispatches told the following story of the marriage of Jack Johnson and Lucile Cameron, a white girl, who has kept the country in an uperoar on account of her escapades with the black "pug:" "Jack Johnson the Negro pugelist, and Lucile Cameron, the Minneapolis white girl, were married late Tuesday afternoon in the home of Johnson's aged mother, 3344 South Washash avenue. "I guess this will stop all those she clasped her hands ectastatically when the ceremony was done. "I guess this will stop all those prosecutions," said the Negro rather grimly. "As soon as we can get away we will go to Paths." The marriage took place almost on the same spot in the front parlor of the Wabash avenue home, where the body of Johnson's first white wife, who died a suicide through the butterness of her lot lay only a few short weeks ago, while Johnson sobbed out his love for the dead woman. "A little later in the afternoon Johnson went to the safe where the jewels were deposited that had belonged to Etta Dutea Johnson, and taking them to Lucile Cameton, decorated her cheap white shirtwaist with the jewels the other woman had loved, which have been the lure of ```markdown ``` We are the largest manufacturers of Colored People's Hair.

"All afternoon the orchestra played tag time while the white and black visitors who came to pander to the pugetlah danced grizzly bear, and champagne poured like water. "The mystery of Lucile Cameron's whereabouts was solved by her appearing from a room in the Johnson house. She wore a plain tailored suit of black and white check, and a large black hat. Johnson had chosen the same color scheme. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Danielson, friends of the Cameron girl, with whom she is believed to have spent most of the time since she eluded her mother at the Wellington hotel, attended the Negro and his bride with Sug Hart, who was Johnson's manager when he defeated Jefferson, and his wife and II D.

Editor of the Plaindealer. Dear Sir: I drop you this item for publication having sent same to one of the leading newspapers of the State of Missouri, but they are silent on the subject, for the lack of courage I presume. So I now place it with you as all Afro-American citizens should know of the outrageous murder of one of our best citizens, in the person of Calvin Higgs, on Saturday night, November 25, by three white boys, all under twenty years of age. They first attempted to rob Higgs and his companion, Higgs being slow in getting his hands up was shot to death. If a boy sixteen years old of the white race will shoot a Negro to death for nothing what may we expect from the grown ones. I would suggest that all Negroes arm themselves and go prepared for combat of defense at all times. Am not sure detecte at all times. Am very sorry that the Negro press has not the courage to speak boldly of this occurrence (I mean the Missouri Press). I place it with you knowing it will appear in the next issue of the Plain-dealer. Very truly yours, M. L. DANFORTH VICHISON, KAN.

Please meeting was conducted by the Deacons of the church as Rev. Smothers, pastor of the Sixth Baptist church, was quite ill and as Mr. Conaway was a faithful member and a good christian. He preached his own funeral We are glad to mention a prosperous loved man in the person of Mr. Walter Taylor, who conducts a first class grocery store. He is a high type of mankind and worthy of conglation. Miss Hazel Slooss was the guest of her parents Thanksgiving until Sunday.
