TOPEKA PLAINDEALER True, the Weather is Extremely Hot, But no one Will Censure You for Starting a Flirtation With the Coal Man! Historical Society State House True, the Weather THAT DEVILISH OLD A Disgrace to Mississippi People of This Nation...I sanity are a Stigma U Dignified Body of M THAT DEVILISH OLD VARDAMAN THAT DEVILISH OLD VARDAMAN A Disgrace to Mississippi and the Christian People of This Nation...His Flights of Insanity are a Stigma Upon the Most Dignified Body of Men on Earth Yes, it is true the colored people are in the majority in Mississippi and if they were not bulldozed and robbed of their rights Vardaman would not be holding the position he does, as he belongs to the Jesse James and Dalton gang array—no; we back up a little, for the James and Dalton gangs were more honorable in their dealings with mankind, giving their victims a warning and came out boldly in the open and did their work, and no bandit has used any more high-handed methods of robbery than the Vardaman clique to rob the colored people of their right to vote in order that these red-handed thugs and murderers might remain in a position to enjoy the positions held by them and keep up the fight of a lost cause. They should be ashamed to designate themselves as men and claim a superiority over any other race because of the color of their skin, as no real man of intelligence would resort to the tactics of these bushwhackers. We call the attention of the Vardaman class to the fact that the industrious class of Mississippi is made up of the colored . Fifteenth Year. No. 33. It is certainly a disgrace not only to the American people, but to the civilized world, to have an ignorant savage like Vardaman in the United States Senate representing the intelligent and Christian people of Mississippi. He is not only a disgrace to the hoodlum element of that state, but to the lowest type of the white race of America, the very scum of the earth. His censure of the ten million colored Americans of this country should not be taken seriously, as it is more in keeping with the half-witted thoughts of an insane person, who has just escaped from a mad house. He hasn't the intelligence and foresight to dictate the proper measures at Washington to benefit the state which he represents as well as the nation. The South has lost considerable ground in the last few years as the places of such men as Lon Stevens and Wade Hampton in the Senate have remained unfilled. They looked well after the best interests of the South, and the Negro was not in their way and was not always discussing them. They also considered that if the Negro could push his way to the front and become good, respectable citizens they were entitled to that honor and should be treated as such, and no respectful white man should oppose him on that ground. The race has acquired property, produced educators and learned men in the professions of law, of medicine, and the ministry, and have reached other attainments too numerous to mention, all these in direct opposition to that class of white men that Vardaman represents. As soon as the Negro began to accumulate property and wealth and engage in business, then the red-neck, white rufilians of the South, who are poor and ignorant, say they are in the way, and began to look around for some selfish, stupid, bigoted, ignorant white man, with the gift of gab, that would go to the legislative halls at Washington and in the several states and introduce measures that will degrade the Negro and tend to hold him back. They this Vardaman-Cole Blease clan of Ku-Klux, have even sanctioned burning, lynching and discrimination in courts, and after failing in all this to stop the onward march of the Negro, there are still men of the Vardaman stripe who are still trying to put stumbling blocks in the path of the Negro's advancement. But let us say to Mr. Vardaman and his cohorts that it is too late; that the colored man is on the onward march to success and nothing but God Almighty can stop him. The colored man has begun to learn and realize that it is not color, but the brain, thrift and obedience to the laws of God and man that makes superiority. He has also learned that all men are made after the image of God and whether white, black, red or yellow, they receive no special favor from nature—they all die as well as the black man; they are born alike, subject to the same environments and leave by the same road, and since the Christian civilization has begun to arouse the spirit of the black man, he is beginning to know his rights and demand them. We do not believe that God in His infinite mercy will spare such men as Vardaman and his followers much longer and continue to show them their mistake by constantly showing them what the Negro race is doing in spite of their opposition, and we look for some great dis- aster or pestilence to sweep them away sooner or later. We do not hear the voice of Tillman and Dixon, belittling and censuring the colored man as in the past. Tillmarhas been stricken down, and Dixon, who has a little show, "The Clansman," is playing around in a small tent on the alleys, with a few red-necks as actors, who are of the Vardaman stripe. We wonder if Vardaman can conscientiously say that he is not related in some way to the colored race, as the white and colored are very much mixed in his state and perhaps if he would look around he would see some of his descendants among the race he seeks to exterminate and segregate and if they had started this segregation in the right way a few centuries ago there would not now have been so many of the descendants of the Vardaman class among our race. We would have been glad to have kept them apart in Mississippi, as we are told that one third of the inhabitants of that state are so mixed as to make it difficult to distinguish to which race they belong. If they should succeed in securing segregation in the different departments at Washington with white overseer we fear that they would attempt the same thing they did in the days of slavery and Vardaman and his cohorts would have the departments flooded with a conglomerated mass of humanity. We have had one illustration of white overseers and if they had watched their business and attended to their duty in the ante bellum days, instead of consorting with the colored damsel under them in shady nooks and corners, the South would have been far better off and there would have been two distinct races and they would not have had so many slaves to sell. You say the Southerner is the best friend to the colored man, but as a race you despise him. As an individual the South is very fond of the Negro, and we presume that Mr. Vardaman and cohorts are right, as their class of white men were quite fond of the colored women in the days of slavery and the individual damsel would appeal to their passion, but now since they are free and have got out from under the clutches of these brutes and are able to resent their insults and atrocities, there is nothing to mean for the white cracker to say of them. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST 15. 1913. people and they are the backbone of the state, tilling the soil and gathering the crops and then being robbed by that class represented by Vardaman, who claim that the Negro is inferior to them and unfit for citizenship and it is well known that if it was not for this laboring class in Mississippi the whites would starve. It is on account of the better class of white men and the progressive Negro and from the prayers sent up to the Almighty from them that keep the commonwealth of Mississippi from being in the same condition as Mexico, and if such men endorsed by Vardaman continue to agitate a feeling against our people who are trying to live at peace with the world, and continue to inflict wrongs upon our progressive people because they are progressive, some great disaster will happen in Mississippi and the result will be laid at the door of the Vardamanites, and will do well to flee from the wrath to come. The sooner the law-abiding element of the whites sit down on the necks of the "crackers" the better it will be for the people of this nation. We are surprised at the National Democratic Fair Play Association giving Vardaman an audience, as he can think of nothing but the Negro question and his guilty conscience will not permit him to keep still. Vardaman is supposed to represent the state of Mississippi and look after the welfare of his constituents and all we have heard from him is the Negro question and a repeal of the 15th Amendment and the segregation of employees in the departments in Washington. Vardaman speaks of the mental and physical impossibilities of the race, but we would call his attention to the fact that their physical condition measures up with that of the white man, having been put to the test in the arena and have proven master of the situation. They have attended the same schools and have studied the same books and have been able to cope with the white man, so what Vardaman says is mere folly and if he will read a little more and keep a little better up with the times he would not make such foolish and absurd statements. We advise him to read some of the literature written by intelligent white and colored men on the race question, and he will find that the Negro is in no wise short when it comes to physical and mental ability. We write this article with no malice to Vardaman or any of his kith or kin, as we have long since learned that it is folly to take exception to what a lunatic or imbecile would say. We are praying that the Almighty will lighten the burden of colorphobia resting on his pan, and shed a ray of light in his darkened pathway that will lead Vardaman out to a plane of usefulness before it is too late, and that he may see his black brother as he sees the white one, who is created as the black one, came here as he did and will leave as he leaves and will be buried just as deep and these six feet of earth will make us all of one size. But unless he mends his ways we fear that he will fail to hear the sound of the trumpet when Gabriel blows and he will cap what he has sown. Below is a clipping from the Kansas City Post in which are a few of the matterings of Vardaman before the National Democratic Fairplay association: "The 10,000,000 black semisavages that have been grafted upon the American society constitute the most vital problem that the civilization of this country faces," declared Senator James K. Vardaman of Mississippi at a meeting of the National Democratic Fairplay association held to discuss the question of segregating Negro employees in government departments. Senator Vardaman says the Negroes should be segregated, with white overseers to make them work. "As a matter of fact, the Negro is mentally and physically impossible of becoming a part of our civilization," he said. His intelligence stops development at the age when the Caucasian mind just begins to develop. "The Southerner is the best friend the Negro has. As a race I despise the Negro because he is the most contemptible of God's creation in human form, but as an individual I am rather fond of him"—meaning her. THE EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK! THE EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK! A Passing Glance at Our Neighbors. We have just returned from a trip to Parsons, Pittsburg, Crowberg, Chetopa, Joplin, Mo., Baxter Springs Columbus, Independence, Iola, Chanute an Bartlesville Okla., and all the way we found it very hot and dry, but in spite of this set back, we found the colored people doing fairly well. AT PAOLA We found a large Radiator Co. employing several colored men, and they have good jobs for they moulders. Mr. Geo. Golden has one of the best equipped and most up-to-date cleaning pressing and dye shops in the West. He employs strict business methods in conducting his affairs and is eminently qualified to teach the business in some industrial school. The institution that would secure his services to teach this science would certainly go a long way towards bringing our young men in possession of one of the best things in the way of a paying trade in the country. Rev Ros is making great improvements in the A. M. E. church at this place. WE STOPPED AT PETTSBURG once the metropolis of Southern Kansas, but we are beginning to think that Anninias was born in in this town and must have had one brother to immigrate to Joplin, Mo. We are sorry to say that he stayed too long in this place and has many descendants. Nevertheless, we found several prosperous colored people. Mr. Neal Pierce has a good position. He is a clerk in a wholesale grocery house and doing fine. A number of other young colored men have good positions and are ding well. D. R. Jones is still with the Elks' club. The colored people as a whole are doing fairly well in this town, but there are not enough business enterprises. They have just established a nice grocery store and purchased the building in which it is located. This is owned and operated by a company. We must say they are beginning to take to business and need some first-class hotels. AT WEIR CITY AT WEIR CITY we found some of our old time friends who are making money and doing well. Our enterprising correspondent, Judge Moore, is doing well and ministering justice to the evil doers at the same time. AT JOPLIIN, MISSOURI we met our old friend, Mr. Fred Romare. He is still at the old stand running one of the largest harness and carriage shops in the West. The colored people of this town are very slow and need some progressive Negroes to move there and give them instructions. They have no grocery stores or business of any character except boarding and rooming houses. Mr. Charles H. Knave has a first-class barber shop and this constitutes the Negro business enterprises of Joplin. Rev. H. H. Curtis also conducts a fine tonsorial parlor and will act as correspondent and agent for The Plaindealer. They have one physician, Dr. J. G. Williams, who is doing fine. Dr. Harvey, pastor of the A. M. E. church is doing well and attends strictly to his business and pastoral duties, and when he is not at his business he is at home keeping company with his young wife, a bride of eighteen months. Our friend, A. T. Green, a loyal race leader is still on the job at the post office. YALE, formerly a thriving mining center, we found the streets nearly deserted by the old timers. Mrs. Hudson, our correspondent, is still busy getting news for The Plaindealer. She is one of our oldest and most faithful agents. we found the colored people doing fairly well. Mr. Love has a good, substantial grocery store and is prospering. Business is nothing like it was a few years ago when Coffeyville was at her zeneth. The lowering of the gas pressure has put several very large concerns out of business and therefore things are a little dull. There are several restaurants, but few first-class and upto-date. Mr. Jones has a fine restaurant with rooms in connection. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert entertained ye editor and Business Manager Griffin, at a fine breakfast, and we certainly devoured and relished the delicious fried chicken and other delicacies that go to make up a meal that is really enjoyable. Mr. Gilbert is a contractor and builder and Mrs. Gilbert is one of the leading church workers and a prominent factor in the circles of fraternal organizations. Vina Cahoun, formerly of Ashville, S. C., has purchased a fine home and is doing well. We found a young colored man clerking in the Palace Clothing store, Mr. Dennis M. Hunnigan. He sold us a suit of clothing and other furnishings and we must say he is a fine salesman and well versed in business. He is not only a salesman, but repairs fits and alters suits. He understands the art of selling, and this white man has given him ability and he is making good of every opportunity granted. He has the ability to command a good salary in any clothing establishment, and the entire race rejoices at seeing a white man who is bread enough to grant them a chance in the race of life. Don't fail to see Hunnigan when you visit the store. AT INDEPENDENCE We found the colored people busily engaged in the cement works and holding good janitor jobs and doing nicely. We met our old friend, De Hart, deputy chancellor of the Knights of Pythias lodge.. He is an industrious, well thought of citizen and his check is good at any bank. Dr. Davis is doing fine and is enjoying a fine practice. Mr. Joe Vanderford, the expressman, is doing fine and is secretary of the Expressmen's association. We met Mr. Mark Tulley, exstate treasurer, and there is a talk of him running for governor or of the state. Our friend, Mr. Payne, is still at the bank, handling the cash. A. W. Gates, the champion wrestler of the West, is prepared to meet all comers. This is his home and the citizens here think well of him. O. C. Crooms is still on the job at the postoffice. Mr. A. McCullough and wife are conducting a neat little restaurant and are doing fine. We have quite a number of subscribers at Cherryvale, but we passed through the town and left the field open to fill at some future date. AT CHANUTE. We visited the division of the Santa Fe at Chanute and found several colored people employed at this place.. Our old friend, Clay Landis, has opened a fine restaurant. Milton is still holding the same old job at the mill, and it is a source of pleasure to meet him, as he is always interested in the welfare of the race. Price $1.50 Per Year. Arch Ray and wife are doing fine and have several fine hogs ready for the market. Our old friend, J. O. Hale, the house cleaner, is doing fine and making money and is always for The Plaindealer man. AT IOLA. At Iola we found great preparations being made for the Masonic grand lodge which holds its annual session there in the near future. The cement plant is not working full time and it makes business rather dull at present. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Fields are doing a fine business in their second hand store. They are making some great improvements in their residence. Hervey Bland, the manager of the Go-Devils base ball team, has one of the best teams in the state. He deserves credit for managing and keeping up such a successful team. He conducts a fine pool hall and has a good business.. The people of Iola are holding their own, but things are very dull. AT BARTLESVILLE, OK. At Bartlesville, Okla., we are frank to admit that we were surprised to find such a town, as we thought we were going to some little dark corner like the little by-stops in Alabama and Georgia, judging of course from what we had heard of it, but we found it one of the cleanest, up-to-date, modern cities in the state. We found paved streets and large business buildings. We must give the white people great credit for their treatment of the Negroes in this town, as it is far better than most parts of the state. There are no "Jim Crow" street cars or constant segregation. At a colored picnic given, there were nearly as many whites as blacks and they got along just fine together. We look for Bartlesville in a short time to open industries and employ colored people. Messrs. Geo. Brown and Geo. Everett are conducting a fine lunch counter and pool hall. There was a ball game between the whites and colored, with a colored umpire and every thing went off just fine. The colored people are holding some nice janitor jobs and keep neat and clean and are very polite. Mr. Chas. Davis is in charge of one of the large buildings in Bartlesville. We will have a descriptive writeup of Bartlesville in next week's issue, but we must say that this is a fine town and hope to visit it again soon. As a whole the colored people are improving slowly at present, but sure and our word to them is to acquire land and property and stick to it. The drougth still on in these parts. Profs. Scott and Horton have returned from their vacations. Miss Rena Wilson is spending a few weeks with home folks. She is attending the Kansas State Normal at Emporia. Messrs Jones and Shaw, of Boley, spent a few days at the Park Sanitarium last week taking the rest cure. Miss Lillian B. Rector has returned from Emporia, Kas. Messrs Prulitt, Buchanan and Mrs. Sam Jordan attended the Masonic Grand Lodge in Boley last week. Prof Sadler, of Langston, was a Guthrie visitor Monday. Prof. and Mrs. G. W. Carey and children attended the N. E. A. at Little Rock, Ark. The Metropolitan band is giving splendid concerts every Friday evening at Noble path. Mesdames Buchanan, Chambers, Conrad and Eagleson spent Thursday of last week at Mr. and Mrs. Griffin's farm six miles west of the city. The ladies enjoyed fishing, but best of all was the good country dinner. Mr. George Jones is building an addition ti his house on East Springer. Nations an to "Lost Arts." Current tradition credits the ancients with many "lost arts." It is still common to bear people say that means unknown to us must have been employed to erect the pyramids, that the Damascus blade is beyond the power of modern cutters and that the art of hardening copper died with some little brown Aztec. In point of fact, larger stones than any found in the pyramids have been quarried in Maine, carried across the sea and erected in buildings in England and France. If any one cared to pay the cost there are plenty of contractors who would build a replica of the largest pyramid and would not take so very long about it. It is doubtful whether a "Damascus blade" will stand as much as a good modern hand saw or the spring of a cheap clock. Copper can be hardened by modern methods to equal any specimen that has been left to us by the ancients. Many arts that are supposed to be lost are simply abandoned because there is no modern need of cultivating them, and others are not even abandoned, but employed every day and improved upon - New York Tribune. Old English Press Ganges. In the past the news of a shortage of men in the navy and the lint of action by the admiralty would have put the merchantman on gunfire. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, for instance, there was a call for sailors for the navy, and "persuasion" was the rule. "The press in the Thames for the last three days has been very severe. Five or six hundred seamen have been lab hold of." Thus runs one of many entries in the papers of the period. It was not always peaceful "pressing," as this item in the Times of 1795 will prove: "There was a very hot press on the river Utby night last, when several hundred able seamen were procured. One of the gangs in bounding a Liverpool tinder was resisted by the crew, when a desperate affray took place, in which many of the former were thrown over board, and a loutenant who boarded them was killed by a shot from the vessel."—London Chronicle. A Bit of Kutchner's Tact. The Egyptian Bedouin is not compelled to pay taxes or to render the ordinary obligations of citizenship, which in Egypt includes military service. Soon after the outbreak of the war between Turkey and Italy a delegation of Bedouins approached General Kitchener and told him that they wanted to go across the border to the assistance of their hard pressed fellows in Tripoli. The English general admitted with unexpected readiness that their request was reasonable, but he reminded them that by granting it he would be creating a precedent which would make them liable for military service with the Egyptian army. The delegation withdrew, and Kitchener was not troubled any more with requests for leave to cross the border. Scotsmen and Funerals. Englishmen, says Ian Machren in "Books and Bookmen," bear themselves well at marriages, where Scottsmen are at a disadvantage because the cautious Scotch eye is focused upon an uncertain future. But the Scottsman shines at a funeral as one of the luxuries of life. "Peter," says one mourner to his neighbor at the tail of a walking funeral, "illy ye see Jamie Thompson walking in the front side by side if the chief mourner and him no a drop o' blood to the corpsse?" "Pine I see him, a forward, upsettin', ambestious body. He would be inside the hearse if he could"—the most awful and therefore most enviable position for a solar minded Scot. The House of Romanoff. The house of Romann passed out of existence with the death of its last survivor, Empress Elizzabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, who was succeeded as ruler of Russia by her nephew, Peter of Oldenburg, duke of Holstein, Gothorp, son of her younger sister, Grimal Duchess Ann. It is from this czar, who reigned as Peter III., that the whole of the reigning house of Russia are desiried and they are, therefore, not Romannoids, but Oldenburg. Paid Her a Compliment. Dr Johnson never had a reputation for paying compliments, but it is related that once when Mrs Siddons, the great actress, called on him in Holt court and the servant did not readily bring her a child be said.

AFTERNOON SESSION. EYENING SESSION and when you talk about hospitality and thoughtfulness for their guests, certainly there was nothing left undone. The occasion was planned to celebrate the Emancipation of the race and the anniversary was that of the freedom of the East Indian Negroes under the leadership of Toussaint L'Overture of San Domingo. The band from Ottawa furnished music for the day, while the members of the A. M. E. church of this city provided a bountiful dinner on the park grounds at noon, and also served light refreshments on the church lawn in the evening. A ball game between Ottawa and Osawatomic teams was one of the afternoon features, in which Ottawa came off victorious. Addresses were delivered by Prof. G. W. Lowery, of Paola, on "The Emancipation and Progress of the Negro," and by Rev. J. R.Ransom, of Kansas City, Kas., on "John Brown and His Work for the Colored Race." In the evening a concert, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, was given by the Ottawa and Osawatomie people at the A. M. E. church. One of the most noteworthy features was the starting of a movement for the colored people to erect a memorial arch to John Brown and to have it in the park at Osawatomie. Surely there could be no more appropriate place for it, and it is equally certain that no one owes a greater debt to this great man of noble memory than do the colored people. The matter will be taken up in detail at the conference this fall and definite plans will then be made. Over 500 were present at the park Monday afternoon and the colored people of our town made an extra and most successful effort in entertaining the visitors. Lincoln Institute State Normal.

We are sorry to learn that Hon. Adam E. Patterson, whose name wag sent to Washington as being indorsed for registrar of the United States, treasury has declined the position und asked that his name be with. drawn after Senator Gore and Senator Owens had promised to support him. He should not have allowed them to trick him inte a proposition to decline for jt not only casts a reflection on him, but upon the whole race. We have not seen enough of Wil- son's administration to sce i he is true steel, and has backbone enough to stand up for what is night, gust and fair, and he would haye had to show this writer, and after haying con- sented to plice our name before the senate, he would have had to withdraw it without our con- sent, We think Mr. Patterson made a sad mistake as this is an honor that has been conferred upon the colored) man since the days of Grant, and there is no reason why President Wilson should make ain exception of this time honvted custom. Mr. Patterson 1s a distine guished lawyer with a high 1ep- utation and would have filled the position with honor tu his race and the entire nation. We believe that Owea and Gore played their part in assisting the Southerners to place a half breed Indian into the position, and further, we do not believe that they ever intended to keep their word, but were in sym- pathy with the men of the Var- damian type. We are indeed, very sorry that Mr. Patterson did not consult some of his close friends before luying down, We hope that it is not a tacit under- standing between him and the Oklahoma senators that his name be sent in and he would afterwards decline in order to give them publicity and have them to say they did all they could to place a colored man in the position. We are not superstitious, but_ we sometimes imagine we see through a stone wall. It is now the duty of Sen- ator Gore and Senatcr Owen te see that Mr. Pattenson's wrongs are righted.

A SELF MADE MAN, The dyeing and cleaning busi- ness is a science in itself. It Ie a rapidly growing business and there are not enough trained men to meet the demand for the immense volume of this work, Cleaners everywhere are de- manding skilled workmen. It ts hard to find them. Why? It is because the cleaning business is In {ts infancy and the tremen- dows amount of this work now in existence has suddenly come to the cleaners in the last few years, One may ask why it fs, then, there ix such a rapid growth In this business and why there are such large salaries and so many opportunities, First, itisa fact that for years clean- ers carefully guarded their se- sreta in trade. There are such “ew shilled cleaners fhat experts we demanding large satarics, Phe opportunity ts great, for the public is waking up to the fact hat cleaning and dyeing is not vluxury but d necessity, Peovle are realizing the great saving it is lo them to have their curtains and portierres cleaned and dyed, Five years ago there were 17 cleaning shops in Chicago, and today there are over cne thous- and large plants and seven thousand small shops. Five good Iceaners in x town of 15000 pecple and today many men who do not know the business have entered it depending on skilled labcr. How many towns of 3000 to 5000 inhabitants can boast of agood cleaner? By that I mean a man that knows the business thoroughly. You will find 80 per cent of the shops being con- ducted today by men with only a slight knowledge cf the busi- ness, He succeeds because his competitor is no better than he is, or the public is not educated up to good work. So long as the professional cleaner guards his trdae secrets just so much longer and better is the oppcr- Jtunity for one, should he know ithe cleaning business, to make a gigantic success of it. We as [men and women should get busy las the handwriting is on the wall So good is the cleaning business that the small _mer- ‘chant tailor who is being crowd- led out by the Ready-to-Wear and the Made-to-Measure sys- tem is devoting his time and his money to the cleaning industry. | \Fifteen years age people paid $40 and $50 for a suit.. Ready |made clothes had not reached the perfection of today. Every iter, A goodly number of mas- ter Masons were present and all had a royal time, A dance was given in honor of Miss Myrtle Stephenson at the Taborian hall by Mrs. 1. Shack- elford, Miss B, Martin, Mr, Jesse Ogden gave a delightful party in Music was furnished by Mr. W. Ingram’ orchestra, At the wee shours of the morn’ all departed saying they had been royally entertained. Miss Alli Barnett, the train- ed nurse, cf Nevada, is the guest of her parents, Mr, and Mrs, ‘Luke Barnett, ‘ylddvgz,)zg shrdl vbgk bg bb ‘Friday afternoon Mr, Jesse Ogden gave adelightful party in ‘honor of Miss Stephenson at his residence. In the evening i Mr. Gartield Winfred set a dain ty Dutch luncheon at his resi- dence, It was prepared by his ‘mother, Mrs. Willa Winfred anc served, by Miss Ollie Weston. Napkins were laid for a dozen, After the luncheon, all went tc ‘the train with Miss Stephensor |whi departed for her home ft Mason City, Ia. | Miss Mabel Green Lee has be igun housekeeping at 1910 ™ [street MP, Oliver Willis and (wife, clothing store, cleaning shops, barbershop and many individ- uals are suppleid with cloth samples and other accessories free of charge from good made- to-measure houses, It {s known that these same persons are do- ing an extensive business, thus adding more to the decrease in merchant tailoring. The fact is a small tailor cannot buy the woolens and trimmings in pro- portion to his trade, as the big: houses who buy from the mills. Therefore the tailor has to put his labor, and he scon reaches the “age limit,” against the big houses which can defeat him in every way. Even if a colored man conducted an exclusive tail- oring shop he would not have enough colored tailors to supply his demand, for help. Securing white tailors would Le impossi- ble. It is a known fact that most any one will let you clean his garments, but is mighty par- ticular who makes it. If our own men knew the cleaning business, how easy it would be to have a shop of your own, gathering trade from your rela- tives and friends, thus making yourself more independent and the best cf it you can pick your own vocation. There is a de- mand for the work everywhere. In a large city or small tewn every person is a prospective customer, | Mr, Geo. Golden came to Kan- sas eight years ago and located at Olathe for two years and for the past six years he has been at Paola. He started in business on a capital cf $15. He now has a Hoffman press, 58 size, power cleaning machine, steam dry ‘room, dust wheel. eteam glove cone and other modern equip- ment, and associated with him are Messrs. R, M. Shelby, W. T. and Harry Booker, who are ex- pert cleaners and dyers. The two latter are his brothers-in- law. He married x niece of Profs. Clinkscale and N. Sawyer of Topeka, His people reside at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and own a valuable farm, home- .* pded eight years ago. He has a sister married to a man that is private secretary to the head ‘of the Commissary department in the war department of Saint Paul, Minn, For four years he jhad assocciated with him in his ‘cleaning and tailoring business Mr. Hugh Shelby, a graduate cf ;Western U., who is now holding a responsible position in Chica- vo.
