THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER THE MANAGER'S CORNER A. D. Griffin Presents a Few Short Stories About Prominent Men and Women in Politics and Business. Fifteenth Year. No. 49. MORGAN MALIGNS THE RACE. It seems to be the policy of certain Republican newspapers to use the colored brother to sling mud at the Democrats, and thereby lash the blacks. (who in large numbers voted the Democratic ticket in the last election) back into line. Here is one put over a few days ago by the Hutchinson News, W. Y. Morgan's paper. ```markdown ``` "The recent order issued that there should be no color line in the State Reformatory and that the Negro inmates should be taught in the trade departments the same as white inmates, isn't working out just as expected "Guards in the institution freely say the order was intended for political effect. The first effort made to practice it was in the stone cutting department. Negro inmates were put at work there to learn the stone cutting trade. But they didn't want to learn "Finally we had to force them to do stone cutting, said one of the officials. 'It was distasteful to them. The first day three of the Negroes smashed their hands with hammers so as to make it impossible to do the work.' "The Negro inmates maintain that instead of teaching them trades that will be worth while they are compelled to o, the hardest of manual labor at a trade in which they never can find employment." The above is not only an unwarranted attack upon the Democrat, because they have put in practice a system that means all men up and no man down, but an insult to the colored race, who have proven since the first black man set foot on this soil that they are without a peer in the field of labor, and the harder the work the better they like it. Why can't the ex-member of the legislature, ex-state printer, ex-boss of Reny county and editor of the esteemed News be fair and honest in dealing with the men who have added him in landing fat positions? It is true however, that Mr. Morgan's party would never give the Negro institutes of the institution a chance to learn trades, but compelled them to perform labor that required the endurance and strength of a Georgia mule. They did the work, and strange to relate, none of them smashed a hand, keep from it. Now that they are given a square deal, and they are making good too—Mr. Morgan has begun to smash their hands and saw they have to be compelled to work. We go to Hutchinson several times each month and visit the institution each time and find that this unwarranted slap at the colored people is only an assumption of Mr. Morgan's vivid imagination. The blacks are apt, learn rapidly and enjoy the work on heartily as they would a base ball game. During all past administrations Negroes hauled and unloaded the heavy stone for the white boys who looked after the mechanical end of the work and during all these years there was not a wholesale smashing of hands and it sounds silly to say that a man wheeling brick nine hours a day, when given a job keeping books would, according to the Hutchinson News, cut off a few fingers or break an arm to get out of performing a far less laborious task. This is exactly the way the News' story sounds, even to the worst enemies of the colored people and the Democratic party, and further, we investigated the Morgan story and could not find a guard who had given out such an interview. POSTMASTER FIRSTENBERGER POSTMASTER FIRSTENBERGER. The appointment of Hon. W. P. Furttenberger to be postmaster at Kansas City, Kas., is indeed very gratifying to all factions of the Democratic party, and has done more to bring about a united Democracy than anything that has taken place in the state. The postoffice at Kansas City is a big job and Mr. Furttenberger is a big man, and amply able to like care of it. He is a young, active man and thoroughly schooled in the world of business and will make a success just as he has done in his private business. He is a jolly, good natured, dignified gentleman—a man whose head will not swell because he has a fat job. You can bet on it that you can get to him anytime and he will give you a hearing and the most careful consideration upon any matter placed before him. Mr. Finsterberger is a man whose word is his bond—good as your Uncle Samuel's gold, a feature that has won him a legend of warm friends among men of all creeds and colors. Senator Thompson and Congressman Tazgart showed wisdom in uniting on the appointment of Mr. Firstenberger. It means peace and harmony in the Second district and a sweeping victory for the party at the coming election. --- MR. J. E. CATON. cremissioner of finance and revenue, Kansas City, Kas., is making good. He is one of the best liked men in Wyandotte county. He is a careful, painstaking business man and handles the peoples' affairs as though a personal matter. Personally, he is a prince-polite and a man that you can talk to and get satisfaction right off the bat. --- L. H. CHAPMAN. Kansas, City, Kansas, has been elected by the city commission to succeed Mr. J. A. Cable, who was made a member of the state utilities commission. Mr. Chapman is a very capable man—polite of manner and always agreeable and pleasant. The life and spirit of any city lies in its officials, and the appointment of Mr. Chapman is in keeping with good, sound business judgment and a move that will quicken the rapid studies of that fast growing city. We congratulate Mr. Chapman and the people of Kansas City, as both are very fortunate. --- MR. MARTIN'S SUCCESSOR Mr C F Polay, of Lyons, Rice county, was appointed yesterday to seeed Herderison S. Martin as a member of the public utilities commission. Judge Polay has been a power in the ranks of the Democracy for years, and his appointment by the Governor is but a fitting recognition many years faithful service to a cause that at times seemed hopelessly lost in this state. He had the strong backing of the most influential men from all sections of the state which speaks plainly, of his worth. Mr Polay is a man without a blemish and will be a potent factor in leading the party to success. STATE SCHOOL, FOR THE BLIND. In company with our friend, Mr. Neal Milligan, we visited the State School for the Blind, one day last week, and were personally shown through the institution by Mrs. Grace Norton Roseberry, the newly appointed superintendent. It is one of the cleanest and best kept institutions in all Kansas, and is a credit to the state and those in charge. We were surprised to see how well a woman was managing this large institution, and we were then and there convinced that when Gov. Hodges recommended this splendid lady to the board for the place, he certainly knew what he was doing. Mrs. Roseberry is one of the best educated women in the West, and her wide experience in educational work ably qualifies her for this important work. The position of superintendent of this institution is one that carries grave responsibilities, and requires a person of tact and fine executive ability, and Mrs. Roseberry is equal to the task in every respect. She is a nice, smooth tempered lady, alert and rigid in seeing that every rule of discipline is enforced and obeyed to the letter. Mrs. Roseberry is one of the most prominent club women in the state, and has accomplished much good in this field of endeavor, and her appointment meets the hearty approval of the women of the state, and is a fitting tribute to their brains and ability TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER 5, 1913. THE WORLD'S FINEST SINGER U S DISTRICT ATTORNEY FRED ROBERTSON. to do things, and will prove an entering wedge for them in securing some of the good things that goe to those who have born the burden of the party of their choice. The male inmates are taught broom making, piano tuning and other useful trade that will smoke them independent of the charities of a tight nited world. They make-up their own beds, and the rooms are as neat and tidy as if the work had been done by a person with perfect sight. The girls learn plain sewing, crocheting, basketry and the simpler duties of housework. In the spacious chapel is a large pipe organ, and many of them have developed into fine organists, must be one of the principal things taught. The gymnasium is another well equipped department. Here they go through exercises that are helpful and develop body and mind. The sanitary condition is given the closest attention, and everything is perfection along this line. The rooms are light and well ventilated, thus going a long way in keeping down contagious diseases, when originate in poorly ventilated places. The school's motto, "Labor Conquer All," is thoroughly exemplified in the splendid work of the inmates and those in charge, and it simply makes one feel good all over to see how nicely Kansas is preparing her unfortunate so that they may go forth into the world and win their own bread and not be thrown upon the mercies of the people. An effort is being made through the work of a field agent to secure the names of all blind children above seven years of age with the hope of having them enrolled in school at an early date. The school wishes to have a larger industrial department for the adult blind, where the pupils of mature years might be separated from the younger ones. Under this condition other industries might be added, such as carpet weaving and cabinet work. LOSTER FOR BIG JOS Ho. B. P. Foster, of the well known state, and one of the first colored men in Kansas to espouse the cause of Democracy, will U S DISTRICT ATTORN HON. FRED ROBERTSON, of Atwood, who succeeded Ho. Harry J. Bone, United States District Attorney, is one of the leading legal lights of the West, and his appointment to this responsible position Uncle Sam's service is highly gratifying to Kansas and Kansas—ever those that oppose him politically are rejoicing, and Senator Thompson added to his own laurels when he volunteered Mr. Robertson. The new United State. District Attorney is a great in a legal profession—known and a director every letter of the av, a close observer and a diplomat Mr. Robertson le 4 man of wale in all probability be made registrar of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Foster's name was presented to the president by Senator Thompson several days ago, and the entire Kansas delegation together with Missouri and other states are urging that he be appointed. Since the position has A. B. HON. B. F. FOSTER, the Man Who Will Likely Be Made Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. always been filled by a colored man, they are urging that it still remain in the hands of the colored people with Mr. Foster at its head. In the last campaign, Mr. Foster was a potent factor and did as much as any one man in the state to place Kansas in the Democratic column. Mr. Foster is an educated gentleman—one that would maintain the dignity and standing of that high position. --- MR. JASPER KINCAID MR. JASPER KINCAID, state accountant, is one of the finest members of Gov. Hodges' official committee. He hails from Johnson county, where he has resided since 1874, and for a season and out for the success of Democracy. He was twice elected county clerk—the first time in under the wife with a major- ly chosen votes. He made good in the office, and while Johnson county is overwhelmingly Republican, he was referred to the handsome majority Mr. Kincaid was a member NEY FRED ROBERTSON. and has held many posi of honor and trust and always good in the 1909-11 term of the state legislature, Mr. Robert er from the Fortieth district and made himself fort in that body, where he rendered available service on a number of important committees. He was twice county attorney of Hawkins county and gave the people the best administration they ever had from that office. He is bold, fearless and hustful and will do his self and them he serves and state that is proud of the last legislature, receiving a good, big vote. In this body he served on several important committee and distinguished himself as one of the most active and earnest workers in the house of representatives. He is a man of large caliber—broad and liberal in his views, and has a host of strong, influential friends in all section of the state. Mr. Kincaid is a good, clean-sut man, and for many years was engaged in educational work, and is amply fitted to perform the duties of this important office. This writer has the pleasure of having a personal acquaintance with Mr. Kincaid and we have always found him square, upright and honorable and scene time in the close future, we hope to see him either secretary of state or state superintendent of public instructions. He is ably fitted for either position and would make an ideal official. 0 THE ISMERT-HINCKLE MILLING COMPANY is an institution of which Kansas City, Kansas, can justly feel proud. It is the largest mill in the southwest and manufactures the only flour in Kansas City that is backed by home capital. They have a complete laboratory employing two chemists and a baker who bakes bread every two hours day and night. This is done to keep the flour uniform and pure. They employ ninety-five men, and have an elevator capacity of 300,000 bushels of wheat. This well conducted enterprise is the successor to the old Washington avenue mills, which were established in 1870, in old Wyandotte. The output of this mill is the finest thing known to modern milling, and the wise housewife and hotel chef should take a tip and insist that their dealer give them no other brand but "I—H." Mr. Martin E. Ismert, one of the firm's managers, is thoroughly educated in the milling business and a fine gentleman to deal with. --- TROLLY TO LEAVENWORTH. The Kansas City-Western Railway Co. is to be congratulated upon the efficient manner in which they are serving the public from Leavenworth to Kansas City. The cars are the best that money can buy, and with a track almost as level as a kitchen floor, the ride is delightful. Once you make the trip over this line you will choose no other route. From the cars is afforded an excellent view of the most interesting places in all Kansas the Soldiers' Home, Federal Prison and the State Prison at Lansing. Mr J W Richardson, general manager and superintendent of the road, one of the best practical railroad men in the business. He is one of those great business builders and stand, away up in the front park with such railroad magnates as Mr Bernard Corrigan and other, who by their keen tact in promoting electric railways, have been the making of great cities that other wise would have remained in the village class. It is these grand men who deserve the plaudits and highest respect of all the people, and their compa- should not be hindered by great law, that will only retard business activity and satisfy the silly whim of a few agitators and calamity bowlers. It is high time that the people awaken, and instead of abusing railroads and their promoters, give them a boost and prosperity and happiness will dwell in each and every home. Personally, Mr. Richardson is a gentleman of the highest type, and though a man of wealth, you will find to frills on him, and the humble citizen - white or black, can see him any old time, and he will treat them as royals as he would a person worth millions. He places character and true manhood above all else, which is the secret of his magnificent success. 0 BACK INTO THE HARNESS It is with a degree of pride and much satisfaction to us to be able to announce to our many readers that Hon.

This is the first charge he had after entering the ministry and he says they have a bank account of $14,000 for building purposes and we are proud that Rev.

THE BIG NEW DRUG STORE Corner Third and Kansas Ave. JAMES WHITE and J. H. HARRIS Church Notes. SAINT JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. (By Church Staff.) Though the weather was inclement, we enjoyed most splendid services at St. John all day. The pastor, Rev. J. M. Brown, preached at 11 a.m. from Phil. 3:13-14, subject, "Press Toward the Mark," which, to say the least, was very interesting indeed. At the close of the sermon, Mr. Harry Pace united with the church. The Sunday school and Endeavors were well attended and very, very interesting indeed. In the afternoon we were richly favored with two splendid addresses by the Honorables Messrs Seaton, assistant secretary to the governor and Howe, state senator. These gentlemen being at the head of the state board of patrol and board of control respectively, were both in positin to give some very interesting and practical information to the public. They impressed the audience with their sincerity in the effort to discharge their duties officially with respect to all men alike and gave some wholesome advice and suggestions along social, moral and religious lines. The special day services were closed in the evening with a sacred concert by the choir and others. It was indeed one of the most interesting and helpful special programs that it has been our pleasure to listen to for some time. The people are to be congratulated upon the very splendid attention given and all participants in the very devout and pathetic way they performed their part upon the program. Sometimes we shed tears and sometimes we smiled. Rev. Brown says that we shall be favored in this way quite often. Owing to the bad weather, quite a number of the members living out failed to get in, and thus our special collection for debt did not amount to all we had hoped for, but it will be materially augmented by this coming Sunday evening. The amount collected for the day was four hundred and eighty-four dollars and some cents. The contest among the classes was most pleasant. Class No. 11, Mr. Blackwel, leader, being victorious and getting the beautiful new banner. We indeed thank all that contributed. These moderate efforts will be continued. The inclement weather prevented the drama, "Not a Man in the House" Tuesday evening. It will be presented by the young ladies Monday evening. You must not miss it. Rev. Brown slipped out Monday evening to Lawrence, where he united in holy wedlock Mr. W. T. Escoe and Miss Frances Gray of that city. Mr. Escoe is one of the very well to do men of the race, having large property holdings in Muskogee, Okla., and a beautiful home in Lawrence. Miss Gray is one of the very intelligent and highly respected young women of Lawrence. She is a graduate of the State University and a seams-tress of no mean ability. The dAssistant Stewardess, Boar met with Mrs. Northington Friday. They are apparently enthusiastic over their organization. Our sick are about the same. They express much gratitude over their Thanksgiving remembrances. The second Sunday in December will be our first quarterly meeting. Always welcome. ASBURY M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Walton Brown, Pastor.

Mrs. Catherine Amanda Sturn, an aged lady of South Hutchinson, for treating whom for cancer, "Doctor" James, Allen, a negro practitioner is now under arrest, died this morning from gingerene, caused, it is alleged, by the cancer treatment. Dr W. H. Williamson, the county coroner, said today that an inquest may be held to determine officially the cause of her death. The remains of the woman were at the Crocker morgue awaiting the inquest today. Allen was arrested on the charge of practicing medicine without a license, five different counts being preferred. The death of the patient may now cause this charge to be augmented with another and more serious charge of man-laughter The question involved is whether or not the treatment given the woman by Allen, really caused the gingerene which proved fatal. Allen declared that when he was called to treat the woman she was already in such a condition, that after attending her for three times, he dropped the case. She was affected with a diseased limb, which Allen treated for cancer. This became infected and when other physicians were called in a few days ago they found her at the point of death with gingerene in the leg. Allen is now out on bond awaiting trial in district court on the charge of violating the state law relative to practicing medicine. He claims to be cancer specialist, and had a sign to that effect or the window of his office at 514 South Main street. He claims to have had success in the treatment. Mrs. Sturm was 72 years of age and her home was in Topeka. She came note in Aug. to live with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Mayo, of South Hutchinson. Nich Twelve Weeks.

Mason was a scene of beauty when Mrs. Mason's sister, Miss Mattle Gray, and Mr. Alfred Smith were united in marriage promptly at a o'clock on Tuesday evening, Nov. 18th. Mr. Horace Mason sang "That' How I Need You." As Miss Mabel Hall played Mendelssohn's wedding march the bridal party entered the parlor for the ceremony. The bride was beautifully gowned in a dainty white chiffon over white silk with elaborate gold trimming and white satin slippers. The groom was attired in a dark blue serge. Miss Maggie Garnett, the bridesmaid, wore a dainty white silk voile. Mr. William Hall, the best man, wore a dark brown suit. The room, were decorated in feins. The ladies of the bridal party carried shower bouquets of carnations. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Harrison Gray of this city and has grown to work hard in our midst, and is an aristocratic young lady. The groom is nicely lived at Washington Ohio, and has lived here about a year, and is sterling character and personality and has gained many friends among us. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Garnet and about fifty guests witnessed the affair. Many beautiful and useful presents were received and after congratulations, a dainty two-course repast was served in the supervision of Miss Alice, Correia and Mary Beach, Mrs. George Pawlet, Mrs. Ed Mason, Mrs. L. Rock, man and Mrs. L. Taylor. The out-town guests were Miss Ewen a Smith of Enpora, Misses Ida McLanan and Mae Swell of Strong City, and Mr. James Hall and family of Peabody. "BAT MASTERSON ON JACK JOHNSON: "Bat" Masterson, the sight expert on the Morning Telegraph, who al- ways can be relied upon to say the right thing at the right time, discu- sures the status of Jack Johnson as follows: "Word comes from Paris that the International Boxing Union, whatever that is, at a recent meeting there unanimously voted to bar Jack Johnson from boxing in France. Also, the union took upon itself to declare vacant the heavyweight championship because Johnson had been sentenced to imprisonment in this country and for other reasons too numerous to mention. The report also states that a representative of this country attended the meeting: "In order to have this part of the story verified I doubled to Jimmy Glue my special correspondent in Paris about it, and received a reply from him saying that Ben Rosenthal, the 'the motor cycle,' represented Frank O'Neal, the New York boxing commissioner, at the meeting. That being the case, no one over here will venture to question the powers of the International Boxing Union or it right to detrhone Jack Johnson. However that may be, it will perhaps be found on investigation that Johnson wasn't worrying about what the International Boxing Union has resolved to do with him or whether he ever fought again in France, or elsewhere, for that matter. From one who is evidently on the inside of pugnish affairs in Paris I am told that Johnson has theatrical contract to all that will keep him busy for a year, at $1,500 per week. If this is, and it probably is, Johnson will be able to keep himself going at his usual pace without bothering about affairs of the prize ring "And who knows but that in the course of a year that the Supreme Court of the United States will reverse the Johnson conviction. If that should happen, the International Boxing Union might decide to reinstate the black champion and permit him to fight in France or anywhere else if he cared to. Johnson's conviction, of Federal Judge Pollock's interpretation of the Mann white slave act held to be good law by the Supreme Court, is sure to be set aside, and that's precisely what is likely to happen. "Johnson was charged with bringing a notorious character of the underworld by the name of Belle Schreiber from Pittsburg to Chicago for immoral purposes; and to make the charge stand up the Schreiber woman on the witness stand, testified that she had made money in an immoral manner after touching Chicago and turned the proceeds over to Johnson. If that is true, the black champion will in all probability have to serve his sentence of one year in Joliet Prison. But the woman's testimony was so glaringly false to all who heard it that even those who utterly detest the Negro refuse to believe it. "Johnson, on the witness stand, did not deny that he had sent Belle Schneider money to pay her railroad fare and other expenses from Pittsburgh to Chicago, emphatically denied that he had ever competed but to prostitute herself in order that he might be financially benefited thereby The further worse, and his testimony was strongly corroborated, that instead of forcing Belle Schreiber to engage in immoral practice he hatted up elegant apartment, for her and her mother and sister, in which all three lived in luxury at his expense. If such actions mean anything, they mean that Johnson was endeavoring in his own peculiar way to rescue the woman from a life of shame and degradation, which she had been following in Pittsburgh. "All these matters will no doubt be fully considered by the Supreme Court, and it's just possible that the court will also carefully weigh that part of the Schneider woman's testimony where she alleged that Johnson had compelled her to be a streetwalker for money which she invariably turned over to him. If it should therefore appear that Baldwin was terminated tubercly, and that she was instructed to do so, there is plenty of doubt that Johnson will not set aside and a new trial occurred. Also, that the Governor must against him will and do so there. "No cause, self-motivated or woman in this country cared not about Jack Johnson. If my wife in the past to the penitentiary for her insulting a convation was treated in cold and total mire she would not be tortured, shod or aggrieved. But sending him to the court of justice of a woman in this country is not a crime and the judge must not be the judge. No one is ready to be set free when a woman in this country is convicted." LAWRENCE KANSAS Serviced in St James A. M. F. church Sunday were well attended. At the morning service the pastor, Rev. C. A.
