TOPEKA PLAINDEALER FROM OTHER PENS! Interesting Matters Ably Presented for Those Who Reflect and Think. THE Historical Society State House Sixteenth Year. No 19. White Men Who FROM OTHER Interesting Matters All Those Who Reflec FUTURE GREATNESS OF THE A NEGRO. the future welfare of our race does not be fashion and discussion of what should be done, but it lies in the sitting of every thinking Negro to action and doing something worth while. There are so many that are lying little waiting for the turning of the tide, instead of doing something to help turn the tide. There are many that are excellent advisers but they never follow that advice, and when others see them taking some other course, naturally they ignore the advice and do to suit themselves. We need more honest, upright, moral men and women who are not afraid or ashamed to speak for and also do the right thing, that others may see their goodness and strive to be like them. We can always find plenty of people living lives of no credit to themselves nor the community in which they reside, yet there will be somebody who will take a pattern from them, which goes to show that if more of us will wake up and begin to live nobler and better lives those of our race who are less fortunate perhaps than we are may take a pattern from us and the eby make us as a race stronger spiritually, physically and financially. The pulpit and press are two great centers from which much good could be done if we could only get the right kind of men to fill those places. Such important offices should not be overlooked as they, so often are, but the greatest of care should be taken to have them filled by the best moral man of the race. We are now living in a progressive age, and if we do not strive to be progressive also we will be crowded to the wall, and our places will be filled by the coming generations. We look around every hand and see others making rapid strides towards progress, yet there are some who are content to stay where they are and drift with the tide. We will never make for ourselves a place in this world as a race until we unite our forces for the upbuilding of God's kingdom in this world, for it is written, "Seek we first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Therefore let us begin right by building on the sure foundation and our structure which is our good words and dads will stand as long as God lives. Oftimes when we try to live noble lives and get others to do so also, we are forsaken by many who claim to be our friends, but we must not become discouraged at that, for there never was any success without hardships of some kind. When our Savior was on earth he had all kinds of hardships to encounter, but He did not grow discontent as we sometimes do, but He kept on living right and doing good for all, even those that despised Him until finally His mission was ended. But He placed us here to continue the good that He began, and we can never do it by sitting in one place waiting for his returning, of which he said, "I will set things in order when I come." He did not mean by that for us to be idle but to do what we could and when He comes again what we have not completed He will set in order. Then let us as a race arise and go forward and God will help us to become prosperous among all the nations of the earth. We have made rapid strides in our few years of freedom towards making us a name, but we can do more if we will only put our shoulders to the wheel of progress and give it another roll. KANSAS WRITES, FROM TEXAS. Dallas, Tex. Feb. 18, 1914. To the Editor of the Plaindealer: Dear air: I will tell you of my travels through the south as far as I have been. I left home on January 23rd and came to Dallas, Texas, where the sun was hot and no snow this winter so far. But plenty of mud and rain and hot a small amount of sunshine, lot of good for nothin' colored people and plenty of baskets. I stayed here three days and then went to St. Augustine. Plas, where there were still more Negroes that were so bad looking that they would make a jacket to have his food for a week. There are lots of people in the southern states that don't know that Jesus Christ died at all. They never read or write or go to Sunday School or church, all they know is the Trail of the Lonesome Pine, the New Orleans Blues and the Bunny Hug, or to tell the white man that there is a "nigger" in town from the north that knows something and they had better watch him, for he is liable to tell some of them "niggers" that they would not stay here if he were them. The worst sight that greeted my eyes was when I was in New Orleans. They had 100 colored men chained together, one on each side of the chain, which was 100 feet long. These were persons that a plantation buyer had paid fines for and were taking them out on a turpentine farm to work for them for so many days. Now these men's fines arranged from $15.00 to $75.00 each. There were some near bear-footed as could be, some had on very few clothes and six men walked by them with winchester guns that carried a 45 drum of powder and a 70 ball cartridge. There were 10 women that had been arrested and they were taking them along for cooks. They were not chained, but the pitiful sight was when they went in the depot at the Illinois Central depo', they formed a circle and the ladies in the center, all were compelled to get down on one knee and wait for a train to come in, while they were going to take over the Louisville and Nashville load, to a turpentine plantation and they are pat in penge for from 30 to 200 days, to pay their fines and as soon as their time expires, they are compelled to stay so many days longer for their bond, which all they get is beans and honey and coffee, no sugar nor milk, olden greene to season their food and they never get through working for their bond and lots of them are never heard of after they go there. They say the south is the place to the Negro. Is there ever again to be any justice for the colored man or woman? It seems not. I went through the prison at Atlanta, Ga., and the colored women were in a small little dungeon about 11 or 16, there were 17 in there, no window lights in the jail to keep out the rain or wind, smells worse than a slaughter house. The white women were a little better. They made the colored women clean up the white women's cells, which were four in a place 18 by 22. In the colored men's ward there were 29 colored men and 18 white men. These men's crimes were for drunkenness and gambling, and 1 for murder which only one was guilty and confessed that the others knew nothing of it, but all are sentenced to death. These are colored. My next stop was at Galveston, Tex. There the colored men and women have a little better show, for they have 2 or 3 colored officers. At Houston the same, but they always say you must stay in a "nigger's" place and if a "nigger" can find his place, he can do more than anyone else, for a colored man or woman cannot attend his own business here in the south under the circumstances. As the white man will always be meedling with you, or every turn you look clean and neat they want to know where that "niggers" from, he looks fresh. My next stop was at Dallas, on my way back home, to visit some friends of mine at 317 Dunbar St. On my arrival here, I met some very nice people, which my heart bleeds to think they will stay in a town like Dallas and stand the insults that are laid out before them and if any of them say anything, the big Irish con comes up and says "shut up, or I will fix you so you can't talk" and it's the man or woman over the head with his big club and drags off TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 6, 1914 to the corner and pulls the coid for the wagon to come and the charges are put against him or her for resisting an officer and back talk. Just last evening there was a lady beat unconscious by two policemen just because she said what do you want with me. I have been here four days and there has been five killed and 18 beat unconscious and then fined for just standing on the street corners. There are three men sentenced to death and they are all colored men. One is to hang next Monday and the others are to hang March 3. This judge has just been elected in the last 4 months shows that the record has been broken for a judge in Dallas, Texas against the colored people. I being a special deputy sheriff of Topeka, went through all the jails to see if there were any faces I knew and the jailers said to me "they ought to have some of the Negroes from up in the north down here. So they could kill a lot of them, for they don't allow Negroes to meddle in politics down here, even if he does pay poll tax." But thark God, if I can keep my head and cap and pull off my hat, maybe I can get through as my time is short. I have been royally entertained since I have been here. I met my old chum James Crosby, who traveled for years with me and who is manager of the Star Theatre and the Pugleys. After the show, we had a big Dutch lunch and talked of old times and we had a few sad moments for our deceased brother, who the world knows, Mr. Billy Young, who died Feb. 3. We each said a few words and sang the song of "Shall we meet beyond the river." I was banqueted last night at Mrs. Britton's over in Oakliff. She is Mrs. T. W. Troupe's sister, of Topeka, at 428 Lincoln St., which we had a lovely time. The evening lunches were very elaborate and I was baked to fulfill 8 before I went home. I will be Mr. and Mrs. Newbill's guest for two days. of 2503 Commerce street, Dallas, Texas, where everything will flow freely. Well, I must come to a close, hoping to be home March 1 I remain as ever your old friend. I have seen no snow since I left Kansas and I hear you are having plenty there now, so I will see it when I come back. As ever hoping you success, I remain. 1b. C. SCOTT. 1024 Buchanan St.. Topeka, Kansas. EULOGY ON LINCOLN. (Delivered by Mrs. Coin Ingram West at Arkansas City.) Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: We are here tonight to celebrate the 105th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. "The purrent treasure mental times afford is a listing reputation; that way, men are but guilted loam or painted clay." It was reputation that caused the name of Alexander to appear upon the pages of history; it was reputation that caused Cromwell to ever live in the hearts of his countrymen; it was reputation that caused the name of Napoleon to ever be repeated by the French; and it was reputation that caused us, the Afro-Americans, to recall and revere the name and deeds of Abraham Lincoln. He is not only honored by the Afro-Americans, but by the Anglo-Saxon, as well and to prove that they love and honor him, they have and are still erecting monuments to his memory. At Springfield, Ill., a monument towering towards heaven, tells to the world that this hero once lived and played well his part upon the stage of action. Today it is planned to erect a $2,000,000 Lincoln Memorial in West Potomac park, at Washington, D.C. Senator Cullum, one of the building commissioners of this monument, who a few days ago passed from labor to reward, expressed his last desire by saying, "I would that I could live to see the National Lincoln Memorial completed." This shows plainly that the people's love for Lincoln grows with each passing year; and, that the Anglo-Saxon of America, did not allow the good deeds of Abraham Lincoln to be intertwined with his body. It is true, we, Afro-Americans have and are likely to contribute to the erection of these monuments; but I fear, if we stop here, the name and deeds of our emancipator will soon fade from our memory. How many of us or our boys and girls will ever view these monuments which tend to brighten our memories. Therefore in order that we may not forget this noble man, to whom we owe our freedom, we should have in our libraries the life of Lincoln and other books that tell of his great deeds and encourage our boys and girls to read them. We should not consider our home complete without a picture of that hero hanging upon its walls. We should not let one year pass without assembling and speaking of the good he did for our race. "Do what we may who shall measure the usefulness of the life of such a man, and who shall hope to do his memory justice? Abraham Lincoln is one of America's immortals. He grows in the affection of the people with each moment." As a boy, he was honest, kind-hearted and self-esteem. It was these qualities that enabled him to rise step by step, from log cabin to the white house. As an orator, he has seldom, if ever, been surpassed in simplicity of expression and force of argument. One writer has said, "B. between his lips words budded and blossomed." Take his Gettysburg speech, in it, his expression was simple and easy understood; his argument was of such force that it went straight to the hearts of his people. This oration will never be forgotten, "It will live until languages are dead and lips are dust." As a patriot he was wholly devoted to his country's welfare and followed lofty ideals. As a statesman, he fought principles rather than men. He was the only statesman of his time that was able to express the exact relation between the general government and state government or the doctrine of state's rights, a question that gave his country so much trouble at the time of his first election. In his message of 1861 he gave two definitions of state's rights by saying what ver concerns the whole should be considered to the whole, that is to the general government; whatever concerns only the state should be left exclusively to the state. When Lincoln became president, he had many obstacles to overcome; the South held him in utter contempt; the North and East looked upon him as not being able to perform the task which confronted him, even his own cabinet did not appreciate and support him as they should have. But in spite of all these he succeeded. As an abolitionist, he abhorred slavery from his youth. To show that this was true, let us relate an incident: Once upon a time, when but a young man, Lincoln, with one of his companions changed to visit a slave-market of the South where Negroes were arranged as so many cattle, waiting their turn to be sold, as he stood by and saw brother separated from sister, husband with wife, son or daughter from father, the wee babe from its mother's breast, and heard the old auctioneer's cry of "going, going, gone," was more than he could hear, he turned to his comrade and exclaimed, "If ever I get a chance to hit that institution I intend to hit it hard." Some have said of Lincoln that it was for the preservation of the union and not the freedom of the Negro he labored. It might have been so, but Lincoln well knew that if he succeeded in preserving the union, the question of slavery was solved, because it was impossible for the union to stand with slavery, when slavery was the sole cause of the union being divided. When Lincoln made the assertion, "I will save the union with slavery if possible, but, if it becomes necessary to destroy slavery in order to save the union, I will," he had already written the Emancipation Proclamation and was only waiting for an opportune time to give it to the world. Abraham Lincoln was not only a friend to the slave but to everyone that needed his assistance. He was never too busy, even in war times, to give ear to all who had a grievance. For instance, the sad mother whose son was court-marshalled and sentenced to hank or life imprisonment, for some slight offense; little Blossom, whose dear brother, tired and exhausted from carrying the burden of an invalid comrade, slept at his post; for such an offense, you know, the penalty was death, but when that kind hearted Lincoln heard that child-like story, told him by a real child, he gave it his direct, attention and sent a fasty dispatch to little Blossom's brother's regiment saying, "Spare the life of Bennie Owen." Also the mother who approached him with a sad heart went away rejoicing, for she was told her boy should live. U. S. Grant, a general under Lincoln, and afterwards president of the Union said, "To know Lincoln personally was to love and respect him for his great qualities of heart and head, and for his patience and patriotism. With all his disappointments from failures on the part of those to whom he instuited command and treachery on the part of those who had gained his confidence but to betray, I never heard him utter a complaint, nor cast a censure for bad conduct or bad faith. It was his nature to make excuses even for his adversaries. In his death the nation lost its greatest hero; in his death the South lost its most just friend." Well did Mkinley, one of our martyred presidents, speak when he said: "It is not difficult to place a correct estimate upon the character of Lincoln. He was the greatest man of his time, and especially approved of God for the work He gave him to do. History abundantly approves his superiority as a leader and establishes his constant reliance upon a higher power for guidance and support. The tendancy of the age is exaggerate, but of Lincoln, certainly no one has spoken more highly than those who knew him best." We often hear the expression, "Lincoln was a self-made man," let us not say self-made, but God wrought and a thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be filled with greater wonder, or be followed by mankind with deeper feeling than that which tell of his life and death. Lincoln's life was short, but he lived to finish the work for which God sent him; he lived to hear the shout of victory, see Confederacy die and Lee surrender. He lived until there remained nothing for him to do that was as great as what he had done. "What he did was worth living; what he did was worth dying for." Having completed his work, the savior of the union, the breaker of chains, the Emancipator of millions died, but the memory of him is the strongest, tenderest tie that binds all hearts of the union together now, and holds all states beneath the flag of Red, White and Blue. OSCAR O. OVERR MAKING GOOD IN CALIFORNIA. In a private letter from our old friend, Oscar O. Ovver he says among other things, "Tell the hangers on to come West where the country is young and there plenty of good land for everybody. I have met three or four of the Topcha boys out here but very few are anxious to take to the land. Well, we like it and are getting all the land we can get our hands on." Mr. and Mrs. Ovver are located in Allensworth, and from the Tulare Daily Register we gleaned the following. "O. O. Overr came up from Allensworth this morning on business. He states that the colored colonists are now busy preparing to put in their crops. Mr. Overr is himself preparing 400 acres for seeding. He has 200 acres plowed now and will start two drills in the morning. He will plant 200 acres to oats and 100 acres to burley. Mr. Overr's tract is the largest in the colony.

As he sat in the prisoner's seat, when the jury returned the verdict of guilty, the defendant jump up in his seat and attempted to start to talk, but was prevented of doing so by his attorney, John E. Hessin. So you see that all goes to show the essential thing about a white man is to keep his mouth shut. Still there is a chance for Mr. Mullins to get justice, so long as he is itated to be worth hundreds of thousands. Justice will smile on him as long as he will keep turning loose that money. He is now out on bond and may be looking for another policeman to kill. Sickness in our community is at a very high ebb at present, among those on the sick list are Rev. J. H. Taylor, who is some better at present; Lee Roberts on West Riley St. Mr. Roberts is very low at this writing; also Thomas Johnson on East Pottowatomie Street is very sick. Mrs. Lena Hines has recovered from an attack of la gripp. Miss. J. C. Walker is able to walk again after a severe burn on her feet which occurred about two weeks ago. We have been informed that Rev. B. J. Donnall has purchased a nice six room house in our city. That is more beneficial to the race and assists in solving the race problem than a dozen sky-pilots enroute to an association or a conference. Rev. W. C. Garret of the Second Baptist Church is backing his son, Roy in a grocery and meat market therefore we can mention Rev. Garret among our men throughout the state that is helping to set an example for the younger Negro to be guided by to reach the goal. Our old friend, T. J. Woods has accepted a position as chef at the Barris—Smith restaurant. We called at Mrs. Ballew's cafe and she says business is quiet, but she will b at the old land mark when sailing comes. We called on C. S. Gordon, who is manager and proprietor of the Manhattan Junk Co., and he states that he is not making any money present but a fair good living but from observation it takes a mischievous heap of money to keep that fellow eating.

I pray to God that our boys will not do as they did before—take a dollar or two for their votes of then no honour on account of our fear retired farmer Commission r hiring poor white men that did it to work the streets and will not give our people any employment. I ac- tually know of some that was mad over the election of one of our Commissioners and told us he was promised a job and howled around until the white folks took the job away from a good colored man and gave it to a white man that had plenty and didn't want it, just to keep us colored people from being envious towards one another. George Frank has thrown his hat in the ring for Commissioner of Public Utility. We went down with Frank at the last election. This time we want to rise with him and move on to the street with some of our boys and around the city hall with a jamster or else a policeman on the city payroll. We expect to quit the old line politician in the district from this division, on account of the reason that he thinks in knots, matters, but the white man has only led him along by the smooth waters of life showing him sugar in one hard and when he he'd the other mind was showed out that had salt in it.

PHONL. 340 Entered at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. BRYANT GULIY(?) Robert Bryant, colored, a devenom of the "bottoms," was tried and convicted in the district court recently for the murder of James Roach, a white man. The evidence against Bryant was not even good hearsay and circumstantial of the flirted sort. The majority of the witnesses were law violators, and several of the state's star witnesses were proven to be first class hars before they left the stand. The judge's instructions were to the effect that the defendant's past record be not considered, but the twelfy good man, wise and true, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, this same verdict to be beyond a reasonable doubt. Notice this: A white man was arrested wearing Roach's overcoat; on of the state's star witnesses swore that he had never remained all night but once at Bryant's home, but was proven a liar, having been there dozens of times; no motive was established for the commission of the crime neither revenge nor robbery, as it was established that any time Roach had a dollar Bryant could get one-half of it at any time were fast friends; Bryant left town, but told several people where he was going, and there the officers found him when they went after him, and even the officers who testified against Bryant did not believe their own words, for a few hours after Bryant was adjudged guilty, a runner flew the rounds of the "bottoms" that another colored man, one of the state's star witnesses who led about where he had spent more money than he was used to handling, had committed the crime, and the very officers who testified against Bryant, county and city, came near tearing up the city's streets in a mad rush for the "bottoms," beating all previous records, which shows that the officers have more doubt in their minds than belief in Bryant's guilt. If Judge Dann has any leaning towards his instructions he will set aside the finding of the jury and grant Bryant a new trial and not be in such an everlasting hurry to railroad a man because he has not money to hire a competent attorney to look after his interests. In the meantime the officers should get some tangible evidence in the matter. If Roach was too drunk to put up a fight for his life it was not necessary to kill him to rob him. Not a single witness saw anything or heard anything out of the ordinary on the night the crime was supposed to have be committed, nor has anyone been produced who saw a light in Bryant's home at an unusual hour, and set to kill Roach, put the body where it was found, and do others things that were done must have taken considerable time, and the denizens of the "bottoms" mostly sleep in the day and "look after their interests" after the sun goes down. It is high time that justice be enthroned in Shawnee and set prejudice on a back seat. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? The police court is standing on the rugged edge of a damning prejudice. There is in vogue a parole system in the bastle domain, but it seems that this is only for white criminals, especially wife beaters and choppers. Grover Metzger, wife heater, was recently paroled and in less than half an hour had butchered his wife, and it was known that he had issued a threat that he would kill his wife if she testified against him and she had done that very three. Another white man, Bill Friend, a wife chopper, was granted a parole, but was sent back on the jail. George Shoot white, was paroled but liked the jail so well that he could not stay away. Another white man was paroled but resent with the city rock pile. On Jim Ingalls was paroled on account of bad health or recent death of Joy McGill, the chief of the police department. A cologist wrote that when this same rethouse was opened, the police judge, the William Pike, ordered for a huge selling, to the collar and the police officer to arrest a wife heater and wife chopper that had a woman white and the other is black. Out of the police four were to hypnotized that they returned for a second helping to Judge Huron's justice. We have often made the assertion that a police judge is possessed of less brain than a gnat, and these acts on the part of Judge Illuron do not in the least change our opinion. Dr. McGill said that King was a very sick man and needed a good warm bed and some one to care for him, but the wise man in the judicialermine sets the physician's knowledge at naught and consigns King to the death trap under the bullpen at Fifth and Jackson. Oh, for a grain of brain and an ounce of common sense in the police court, judgship of Topka! The Minister's Union met Monday evening at the Third Christian church Dr. H. C. Leavitt, chairman of the State Board of Pardon, gave a fine lecture at the Baptist church last Sunday night. Rev. T. R. Gudner, of Warr no bung, Mr. formerly pastor of the Baptist church here, delivered a fine sermon Wednesday evening, to a good audience. A special rally will be held at the Baptist church Sunday, March 8, in behalf of Dr. J. H. May, who will leave the following Thursday for his new field in Marshall, Texas. A reception will be tendered Dr. May and wife on Wednesday evening March 11th, at the Baptist church, to which everybody is invited. Mrs. B. H. Young was in disposed the past week. Mrs. Alice Grant spent several days in Omaha, visiting her daughter last week. Mr. and Mrs. Catter have moved into their new home at 1606 North 27th St. Both the Baptist Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U., held excellent sessions last Sunday. The lessons were so interesting. On reaching the home, I was met by Mr. H. Buff, a son in law of Capt. Auld and Mrs. Louisa Buff, his daughter and was conducted by them immediately to the foot room of Capt. Auld. We addressed each other simultaneously, he called me "Marshal Douglass," and as I had always called him, "Captain Auld." Hearing myself called by him "Marshall Douglass," I instantly broke up the formal nature of the meeting by saying "not Marshal, but Frederick to you as formerly." Though broken by age and palsy, the mind of Capt. Auld was remarkably clear and strong. After he had became composed, I asked him what he thought of my conduct in running away and going to the north. He hesitated a moment as if to properly formulate his reply, and said: "Frederick, I always know you were too smart to be a slave, and had been in your place, I should have done as you did." I said, Captain Auld, I am glad to hear you say this, I did not run away from you, but from slavery, it was not that I loved Caesar less, but Rome more.

Mrs. Iulia Vaughan, esteemed wife of Mr. Thomas Vaughan of this city, was born in Ray County Missouri, March 25, 1878. She departed this life March 1, 1911 at 11:30 a.m., aged 35 years, 11 months and four days. She was married to Thos. Vaughan January 21 1895 and remained his faithful wife until death. They moved from Nardin, Mo., to Tomoka, Oct 28, 1906. She professed a hope in Christ when but a girl and joined the A. M. E. church in Richmond Mo., remaining a faithful member of the same until coming to Kansas when she vipeted with Saint Johnh A. M. E. church of Topeka. She proved to be a lady of unusual Christian real, with high ideals and splendid pains, and soon won her way into the affections of the members of the church and the people in general. From the first, she has held some conspicuous place in the work of the church. Her heart was centered upon her home and church, and it never became too cold or hot for her to willingly respond to any demands upon her for either. She lived such a life before her husband, relatives, and the world, that caused all to have the highest confidence in her and hold her in the highest esteem. She made many friends among all classes both in Kansas and Missouri, who shall with much reluctance part with her companionship in this life. She was a loyal member of Naomi Lodge Household of Ruth No. 4604 of Tonekn, and when stricken last August was Most Noble Governess. She was also held in marked esteem by this worthy organization. She was a patient and cheerful sufferer all through her illness, ever appreciative of the smallest favor shown by her faithful husband, other members of the family, or friends. She always had a pleasant word for all and some wholesome advice to give respecting the work of the church and its general welfare. She belonged to a very simple and plain life. She held a simple funeral service, with only a few floral offerings. Her idea was that life, the time of flowers, and her life quite fully coincided with this idea. She also expressed a desire to her heavenly home on a beautiful Sunday morning while the morning service was in session at the church. This prayer was signally answered to the vow letter, for she died at 11:33 while the pastor was in the midst of the morning and a single angel carried her on the Sabbath to take her for the Sabbath that has passed. Another ordinance is now of answer to mother. When visited by pastor, she danced on members of the family during her chorea she always gave a wonderful moment of the home she is loved within. in the 11th telegraph of all five waving hands, and having some three or four thirteen, "good bee!" brothers, two sisters, quite a num- ber of relatives and friends to return that loss. "Sleep Oh blessed, sleep." Church Notes. SAINT JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. (By Church Staff.) Our Sunday services were well attended, though not crowded, and interest was high. Mrs. Nellie Newman, Mrs. Ollie Patton, Mt. and Mrs. Melton Tyler have been added to our growing numbers. Sunday school and Endeavor services were well attended and interest is growing. The Sunday school now has more than 200 members. In the midst of our morning service Sunday, we were interrupted by the news of the death of one of our most loyal and true members, Mrs. Latta Vaughan, who has been all at her home on Buchanan street since last August. Suffice it to say that Saint John has lost a strong support, the town a good citizen and the dear husband a good wife. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2:30 from the church. Rev. Brown assisted by Rev. Smith, of Lawrence and Ramson of Kansas City, Kansas, and a number of city ministers affiliated. The funeral was largely attended by citizens of Topeka, friends and relatives from Lawrence and Missouri. Floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. The services were very pathetic. Naeml Lodge Household of Ruth No. 4601 had charge. Mr. Vaughan and family have the utmost tenuity of all. This coming Sunday will be quarterly meeting day at Saint John, and Presiding Elder J. W. Wilson, of Kansas City will be present. Let a number commune at 3 p. m. The rehearsal for the Queen Ether Cantata is coming along nicely and the public will soon be given a musical treat. Mrs Sadie McLean is director. Rays, Ransom and Smith were guests at tea with Rev J. M. Brown, the pastor Tuesday evening. The Sewing Circle was highly entertained Wednesday evening by Mrs Lancey, corner Fourteenth and Tyler stuents. Saturday will be baking day of the church by the Senior and Junior Stewardess Boards. Come and buy your pies and doughnuts for Sunday. For the summer season we are to have a Thursday evening Forum at the church. This, we are quite sure will interest quite a number of our young as well as old people, who seem to want something of the kind. The sermon to the young people Sunday evening on "Opportunity and Responsibility," was well received, and the evangelical appeals by the pastor at the Sunday evening services, seem to be doing much good and with the splendid singing by our noble choir, is augmenting the interest in the evening services very much. In addition to settling all incidental claims for winter, the trustees Tuesday evening paid their interest on debt of $600 on principal. The steward's department is also in first shape. Strangers are especially welcome and cordially invited. Saint John church, like many others has had its fortunes and misfortunes. It has had its clouds and sunshine. But in the face of adversity or catastrophe, her aggressive membership with courage undoubted, still presents an impregnable front in the great struggle of right against wrong and the effort of a trampled race to rise to higher places. In matters of general interest, they have never failed to play their part, always taking high stands under high ideals. Saint John church, with all deference to other spirited organizations of the race of community has for nearly one century stood as real battleground for the moral and civil rights of men. She has not continued to be a cornerstone to the development of her language and culture. but he religion has been mute. With a great wish the world to marital love the relation for the widow in the nursery. With a desire of good with pride our soul and racial worth of the church. You offer to the the church. You and strength of the church love of our home and in the world. leaders who were truly conscientious and could have no earthly reason or ambition to do a worthy people a minute's harm. Be it as it may, such has more than once been the case with the best of organizations among any people, and the only intelligent step for Saint John and her large number of constituents and sympathizers, is to shut their eyes to past misfortunes or mistakes, and like courageous and strong men have always done following failures. The arise with renewed strength and doubled resolutions and put another creditable and magnificent church building on the corner of Seventh and Topkha avenue. The public is demanding it, the people are weak and expressly holding their neck of support in waiting for work to begin. A not mistake has been made in not getting right down to the much slower. Now that a real intelligent financial companion is on to be closed the third Sunday in May of the purpose of the present memorial in order that anything be in the way of executing a late sufficient for the erection of the main architecture of every man, woman and child in Topkha course forward with one dollar more or less that we pay it to be blessed again to see a beautiful building for the good of the world and humanity in that people come in, but all get right down to but mess on the matter. In their meeting last Tuesday evening by order or church order in the pastor divided the church upon it into two sections with Mrs. S. and Blackwell and I. D. Bather, trustees heading the four South where you may, two better and more influential men could not have been found. They are peacefully intelligent, and loyal to church and will both have a wide support from church and public. It will follow as B. Blackwell and P. Bather will lead, when the spoke of battle has cleared away in May, not even a feature of the present bourne, will a涌 above water. A beautiful chart containing two black regularly numbered, has been donated by Mr. Thomas Sneed and is on exhibition at the church. These numbers are to be sold at one dollar. Friends and members may buy a penny as they choose. The rivalry "two in the battling forces will be to excel in disposing of the enemy. Let everybody now get in line and help. BROWN CHAPEL NOELS.

We shall expect the largest attendance in our history and we plorge our best for this hopeful occasion. The good work being done on the new farm is a source of much encouragement and promise. The time for our regular spring activities is man, and we expect to be ready for business early as nature is in the cut. Our blacksmithing department is ready to prove its efficiency by horse-shoeing that will force even the "growth" to smile with satisfaction. Education has a new meaning today, it is teaching people to do things worth while, at first hand. In harmony with this fact our manual training department invites the public attention to the practical type of work in carpentry, not only is the work brainfull of interest, but the students are gradually gaining that self confidence and honest pride in their work that makes for the highest quality in constructive workmanship. Although March is here, new students continue to enter. Every department of the school is well filled. The successful term recently closed showed that the work in all departments was gratifying indeed. We are proud of our students and they have proven their appreciation in many ways. Our ambition is to be of the greatest possible use to them at all times. In short needs no introduction, it is best advertisement. The chorus is thoroughly dive and carries abundant proof of that fact. Shakespeare was right when he said, "The man who has no trouble in himself nor is not a real by counsel of sweet sounds but for treason, strategy and spoils." Student activities correctly indicate the life of the school. Not but you do for the student but but you ret him so for himself wants towards real manhood and moralhood. Our interest so keen, the B. H. A. lion is a fine example of this fact, a movement already made is only an index to larger volume into which we already proceed. We have a way to feel good of our work. Every good word spoken for us lifts us into a trance. Instinct to lend a hand, push and pull, but never to wind, sow and tend, nor to burn (Mozzo).

An excellent hospitality was extended to twenty-five of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bell in honor of the latter's birthday. Music was furnished by the Sunflower Orchestra and a number of out of town people from Wichita and Newton were present. Red and green were the colors used in decorating, also throughout the serving. All left at a late hour, having spent a pleasant time. The Little Workers club of Bethel Chapel served dinner all day Friday, ending in the evening with an entertainment.

Blakemore of Wichita spent Sunday here in the interest of the Forum. The program at the Forum Sunday was one of unusual interest. The principal drawing card was Attorney E. P.

The house was pled to pay tribute to the learned gentleman who possess a pleasing personality, therefore, winnere the adoration of all he and in part: "Do not take time, for we cannot afford to criticize our critics because adversities tend to raise as loyal to the righteous use of good citizenship. Also do unto others as you would have others do to you, for there is something good in the worst of us and something bad in the best of us, therefore may you contribute your good amd that the word unite to our weapon of defense; may sure be our home of happiness and peace there to remain proving a life of true citizenship.

Morgan, editor of the Hutchinson News, paid a very pretty compliment to our city contest St. Patrick evening at B thel Chapel, by printing the following on the front page of the paper, something which has never happened in the history of the city. Usually, the colored items have been appearing either under the want adds or near the market quotations, unless some one is arrested or stole something. All are witnesses to the fact that a complete column in large letters on the first sheet of the paper stating this. "The move which is to be put forth by the Negro talent should indeed be an inspiration to all Negro who have the welfare of the race at heart. During the last twenty-five years nothing has occurred to equal this event. Five hundred tickets have been sold, which does not include the out of town exodus, but the windows will be open and the doors ajar that the mellow stains of the orchestra and other sweet music may be heard afar." Mrs. Delbert Harrison, who for the past ten days visited in Kansas City, has returned to her home. She is now planning a trip to Chicago and the Eastern cities. Messis Earnest Campbell and Francis Abram, were hosts to a dance Friday evening at Broadus hall. All the Elite of the city was present and the hall bore a pleasant aspect indeed, with the ladies being nicely gowned in evening dress, and the gents wearing full dress, while the beautiful decorations formed a fitting background.

The sensible brace ane, and Kansas has thousands of things, we not examining political labels, but are accepting the extended hard and thereby becoming more able to steer in the tide of hatred, prejudice and oppression. Governor Hodges at every opportunity gives the colored man a chance to make good. He has an abiding faith in the black man, and why now he learned the art of swimming in the oakes and creeks around Olathe with the black boys, and many a night he has followed them over hill and lake in pursuit of fox and possum. Well, he's the same George Hodges that he was then, and his black playmates in Olathe and Johnson county will testify today to this fact. The older men and women love him, and this writer would hate to be the man to tell them that George Hodges is not "pure in heart." A colored woman who had been paroled from prison by Governor Holzes, was employed in a city of al. whites, and they objected to her presence simply because she was black. Protests setting forth the fact were filed with the Governor, but he told them in plain language, "Because she's black will never disband that woman from any community in Kansas while I am the chief executive of this state. She will be protected, and has a right to reside wherever she chooses, so long as she continues to make good, which she is doing every day." The day Governor Hodges took the path of office, his opponents flaunted the red flag into the face of the colored people by starting a story that stained segregation laws would be placed upon the statutes of Kansas and his first message to the legislature said emphatically: "Kansas cards no Jim Crow law, and there will be none while I'm governor." None were enacted. No man that ever filled the gubernatorial chair in this state has ever been as bold in the defense of the much cussed and discussed blacks. Turn down the Olathe boy, eh? Not so, the colored people are not that ungrateful.

Judge Nelson Case, of Oswego is one of these fine jurists that reckon your suffrage and is both worthy and well qualified. He has practiced law in Kansas since 1869; a graduate of the Ann Arbor Michigan school of law, he has been identified with the educational and religious development of Kansas since he first settled in the state, and today he has lost none of his activity along this line. He is a lawyer of exceptional ability and if elected would add dignity to that urgent body. OTTAWA.

At Ottawa long before we decided to visit the court house, our friends told us on all sides not to leave the city without meeting Mr. R. H. Harris, probate and juvenile judge and we are forced to confess that it was a source of much pleasure. This, cultured gentleman, broad and liberal in his views and square in his dealings, is the way he is constructed. He is a Democrat in politics, but the colored voters, including many Republicans, all say that he must have a second term. LAWRENCE. Hon. W. J. Cummings, Jr., sheriff of Douglas county, knows no man by creed, color or previous condition in the administration of the affairs of his office. Mr. Cummings is asking for a second term and to his credit it can be truthfully said that no man has ever tendered the county more efficient service in this office—in fact he is the best sheriff Douglas county ever had.
