THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER A WARNING TO COLORED VOTERS Several States Will Vote Next Fall and the Negro Should Take a Firm Stand for His Friends. Historical Society Slate House THE Sixteenth Year. No.12. The improvident N A WARNING TO COLOR Several States Will Vote the Negro Should Stand for His The colored voters remember that the election takes place this fall in the several states. Do not commit yourself to any one except those that you believe will do something to promote the welfare of our people who have been woefully mistreated and robbed of their political and civil rights, and are burden from caring an honest living and are only given such menial positions by which they can scarcely eke out an existence. No job of any consequence is given them. The positions in stores and workshops, as brakemen, firemen and engineers, are denied them. The leaders of either party never consult them on any political issue. The white man when elected, either Republican or Democrat, always consults the white men on matters of appointment, etc., but never offers to consult a colored man. There are many foolish, ignorant and misguided colored men who have their mouths open to gas and wind and are ready to proclaim their loyalty to some white man that will give them a dollar or so and a suit of second hand clothes, and when they are cloeted with white men, never attempt to defend the rights of a colored man or proclaim justice to be meted out to him. Now, before the colored voter the themselves to any one candidate, ask him his attitude toward giving the colored man fair treatment; a position in some of the different institutions of the state or in some office; the right to vote and their vote be counted in the southern states; justice in the courts of the land, and if they believe the colored man has been and is still unjustly treated; that he has been denied an equal chance to earn an honest living and has been barred from the workshops and such positions as firemen, brakemen, engineers, mechanics, or any skilled trade by which he can earn a living for himself and family. The candidate who knows it is a wrong and is afraid to speak out in your behalf in public or act when the opportunity offers itself is not worthy of consideration by the race. While we are Republicans, we are not unmindful that the fifteenth amendment to the constitution is dead and our party has failed to have it enforced. We have had the President, Senate and Supreme Court and unjustice was still heaped upon the race and our party stood by and looked on in silence. We believe in progression, not retrogression and so far as the colored man and the Republican party is concerned, he is on the downward road. While we shall continue to battle on the party line, we will not vote for every hypocrite who calls himself a Republican. Let the colored voters who converse with our white brethren on politics, be not afraid to say they are dissatisfied with the present condition and saw they are looking for men who will take charge of these things in the right way. Mr. Colored Man: Quit being a fool and stand up and be a man and demand a man's rights! A STUDY OF WOMEN. From the Boston Herald. Miss Cora Sutton of Columbia University finds that "since the dawn of history fewer than 1,000 women have accomplished anything that history has recorded as worth while." The number as tabulated by Miss Castle, is R68, to be exact, and about 100 of these won their places by becoming the wives of famous men. Of the rest, nearly half won fame through literature. There are 64 who won fame through religion, 59 sovereigns, 36 actresses, 49 musicians, 20 scholars 17 artists, 12 philanthropists, 10 heroes, 9 dancers; 9 reformers, 6 beauties, 3 educators and so on. No fewer than 107 of the R68 are of our own generation. Miss Castle, who thus rusably braves slings and arrows from air directions, made up her list by going through the six leading en- --- eople has in English, French and German and selected all names that appeared in at least three of the six works. It was a fair enough basis for her study, though a more generous statistician might have taken the names found in any of the six authorities. Such a study is of interest, and yet it shows little of the part that women has played in the development and progress of the world, and it proves nothing. Happily "eminence" has not been the test of the real usefulness of women. No doubt there are good women and great women among these 868—though many of them fall short of both standards—but there have been millions and millions of women as good as the best of them and as great as the greatest though their names have never figured in biographical dictionaries. The accident of fame or notoriety is far less a basis for a worth-while list of women than for a list of men. To those who find real value in such a list it is of special significance that this country gives more promise than any other in the production of famous women; and that in spite of the growing opportunities open to women, the fields in which contemporary women have won eminence are virtually only three, the stage literature music. THE RECALL AND REGRET. From the Indianapolis News. It seems that the progressive West is repeating at leisure for having acted in haste. The day is not long gone since agitation in favor of the initiative and referendum and recall swept over the country. In some of the states, particularly those in the mountain region and on the Pacific coast, these advanced legislative ideas were made a part of the basic law. Some communities pushed headlessly into it by an aggressive and radical minority, insistent on having "the people" rule. Seattle, Tocoma and Spokane—the three flourishing cities of Washington—have had some interesting experiences with the recall. Mayor Hindley of Spokane, who was borne into office on the crest of one "popular" wave—"uprising" is the Eastern word—is not firing his position all o his liking. He is about to feel the ingratitude of the electorate; a recall movement has been started. Concerning this he is quoted in the Portland Oregonian: "I have no recall of a recall election should I be compelled to face one, but if there are 5,500 or 6,000 voters in this city who will ask a public official to stand for re-election because he did what he deemed to be his duty, then I am ready to step down." The Oregonian notes that the recall is to be invoked in Spokane because the major reduced the wages of city teamsters, while in Tacoma a referendum is under way to raise the teamsters' wages. In Seattle a few years ago the mayor was recalled for pursuing the very policy he had announced in his campaign, the "people having changed their minds. This is the glorious right of every free-born citizen—to change his mind. But what a turmoil it keeps the city in! Tacoma, ambitious Tacoma, forever jealous of its bigger neighbor across the bay, has had many recall elections that it is about convinced that the recall is not only a costly but a dangerous plaything. "Extremists of any stripe," sap the Oregonian, "move to recall an official wherever he runs counter to their peculiar opinions." Government by recall is not government by majority. The recall, it appears, has, whenever tried, terded to weaken the ideal of the voter as he goes to the polls. If the man he votes for does not suit him—runs counter to his peculiar opinion—he can be panked out. Just file a recall petition and start the election machinery a-moving. No wonder some officials who have tried TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 20, 1914 to do their duty become disgusted which is the present state of mind of the mayor of Spokane. WHY SHOULD NEGROES SUPPORT BUSINESS CONDUCTED BY NEGROES? Why The Negro Should Not Be Patronized Why Does He Not Patronize Other Negroes? By Mrs. L. N. H. Coleman. Because no Caucasian caretaker for the soul not pocketbook of the Negro. The great wrong perpetrateth upon Negro customers by every white man in business, and in all lines of exchange of money for goods, are of such a nature, vowed they speak, a wall would be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the thunder pool of these wrongs would shake this country. Injustice is a hydra-headed monster which we must meet and kill by placing worthy Negroes in business and keeping them there by our continual nationage. The interests of labor and capital are as yet latent, with neither tongue nor nerve; only as we create life and action in enterprises. Because constant patronage would produce unity, organization, clanishness, racial aggrandizement. Every foreign race comes to us as menials. In a few years they are at the head of large business enterprises, commanding the respect of all classes. So the Negro would rise, and magnify his race; and, like the constant conflict of opposing gages, progressive peace would result from the conflict of Negroes supporting their own business. It is the fire of enthusiasm and sympathy, this spirit of benevolence and encouragement, that causes the rapid rise and great power of the Irish and other races here in Chicago. Because the civilized world judges the Negro as a No. I menial; as such we are the mechanism of their material prosperity. But the prosperity of the Negro race lies in his patronage of that race's enterprises. His valor, fortitude, fidelity to the whites, and love of country, are unquestioned. The white man sees and knows the Negro is time's youngest and noblest offspring, and whispers conscientiously, "Eco Home!" He hold the man! "Now, because the Negro is a great factor, manhood and godhead confined, there are other yearnings in him beside the deotic stomach's hungering. He hungers for development of mind, growth of soul, communion of love, for a higher, fuller living; for wealth, home, business. He longs to put in action his executive, legal, medical, religious and artistic abilities, gained in the schools. He wants to exercise that most potent wisdom he has acquired by contact with the highest type of men. If the Negro is in starving condition, needing all the good things in life, his hope is to go in to business and practice reciprocity. Go out of the way to support your race. Show the world you will not waste the enormous values of your bodies and minds by being hainned forever to the plow, or bent eternally over the tub and mop, for old clothes, cold food and barely wage enough to put back in the white man's hand for rent and merchandise. We must desert subserviency and force all things good, and great, to come to us. The Negro who does not patronize his own is non representative, is a traitor, a solitary bully, with his foot on the breast of his brother.—Chicago Defender. BRAZIL'S NEGRO QUESTION. From the Providence Journal. Theodore Roosevelt reports in the Outlook the process by which Brazil hopes to solve the Negro problem. Briefly stated, it is by miscegenation. Brazil's statesmen are encouraging the absorption of the blacks by the whites. Their intermarriage goes on at a rapid rate. Public men boasted to the Colonel that this was a better way of dealing with the business than ours. They told him it was a problem growing more and more difficult for the United States with every decade, while on the other hand the disappearance of the Negro, in time, would leave Brazil without any problem of the kind. Mr. Roosevelt has no comment to make on this deeply interesting experiment; no answer to the assertion of superiority for the Brazilian treatment. Indeed, about all there is to say of it may be alright emfwypem say about it, from the American view point, is that it may be alright for Brazil, since all classes and races in that country appear to be content with it. The above article from the Providence Journal, quoting Theodore Roosevelt, who is sojourning in Brazil. The American white man seems to be perturbed over the fact that the Brazilians are going to try to obliterate the color line by amalgamation. I think the Brazilians, before undertaking this matter should communicate with some white organization in this country on this question. This very thing was tried in this country for over 200 years and no success was obtained, and the Southern element of this country are still carrying on this amalgamation without any act of law, and yet the race prejudice is growing stronger. We think what is needed in Brazil, as in America, is more Christianity and a higher moral standard As long as the sun shines, there will be five distinct races, four dark ones and one white one and the white man will have to increase his male population at a very rapid rate to bleach out the colored race. It is just anything to keep up an agitation to belittle the Negro race in America and is kept up around the globe. The American white man has gone to Brazil to infest the "colored phobis" in the Brazilians. The Brazilians tell him they will have to marty the Negro and bleach him out and continue to live in peace. EQUALITY IN THE LIFE RACE. We are proud to publish a quotation from the late Hon. David Overmyer, in which he shows his friendly relation to the colored race. Mr. Overmyer was a leading Northern Democrat and formerly lived in Topeka, Kansas, and always believed in equal opportunity before law for all mankind. If we could get the Southern Democrat to look at this question as his Northern brother, there would be very little friction between human rights in this country. We wish the Almighty would bring something to pass that would dissolve the Northern and Southern Democats in this country and then the citizens would live in peace and harmony with one another. The following includes the quotation from the Hon David Overmyer: My Dear Sir: The following from the writings of the late David Overmyer may be called to the attention of the honorable gentlemen who affirm the "Jim Crow law" of Oklahoma, and who aggregate the colored employee in the Departments at Washington: "Equality." "I do not believe that all men are exactly equal mentally or morally, or in point of worth, or that they can be made exactly equal in estate or condition, but I insist that the sure course of life must be left open, and where it has been closed by laws, by institutions, or by custom, it must be opened and that every man shall have the right and the opportunity to be the equal of every other man if he can. I plead for equality of opportunity, for justice, for equity." Inhumanities upon the colored people cost this nation too much for such opinions and practices to be continued at this time upon any pretext. A people or nation will degenerate which imposes inequalities upon any class of citizens based on more prejudice. PRO BONE PUBLIC. Fopeku, Kansas February 20, 1914. A Glowing Tribute to the Rev. G. W. Henry's Splendid Efforta. Almost five years ago there came to this city a man, I say man because he has proven himself to be a man and that means something to be a man in the true sense of the word. Well this man came here having been invited to visit the church by the chairman of the deacon board of the Second Baptist church, Mr. Robert Keith. Mr. Keith was a splendid Christian and a man of wealth and standing. Was honored and respected by all. The man whom he invited to visit the church was Rev. George W. Henry. After seeing and hearing Rev. Henry, Deacon Keith and his officers and church decided that he was the man they wanted. Rev. Henry took up the work and nobody but God knows what a work it was but he bravely and courageously put his shoulder to the wheel, and worked, hoped and prayed as was determined to push the battle to the gate. Deacon Keith has passed to his reward and while he is still sadly missed, others have taken his place and with them help Rev. Henry is fighting on under his leadership the church has been completed. And it is a splendid office. They have also recently bought a parsonage which adds greatly to the church property. There has been many souls added to the church REV. GEO. W. HENRY membership and the work is moving on. We feel that it is due this man of God to say something about the great work he has done in this city, and that the church and the city has been blessed indeed with such a man in the community. We hear praises of him everywhere. The work and the struggles of this God-called minister will go down in history. We can well say with the poet: "My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I date not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name; On Christ, the solid rock, I stand. All other ground is sinking sand" (MRS.) WILLA SMITH, City Representative Topeka Plain- dealer.

Need not the ho tile call. Since all men came from Adam, And from his errie Eve; Should we the offsprings of one blood Cause strife and seek to leave. Thy brother, though less fortunate, Has elements sublime; Which should be the only standard, Of man in every clime. Yes, all men came from Adam. And from his sib his mate; ; Children then of one family. Seek not to segregate. All men came from Adam. And he likewise from dust; Which came by God's creation, Who dealeth wise and just. He's not a respector of person, He died for the profligate Wants unity in Christendom, Then why we segregate? Wants unity of purpose, And that to honor Him; And love thy brother as thyself, Do this, He'll not condemn. Take off the sheepish gash that lude Your wolvish nature true. Put on the robe of righteousness. And you will be anew. That culture brain and moral strength Are lights that do not shine. More brightly in the favored race. Than in this race of mine. Behold thy brother as he stands. Though with a darkened hue; Is he not worthy of thy love. Is he less man than you? Since pure thoughts gives pure motives. And a man by his motive is known; fleeate, be careful, my brother, A slight betrayal is shown. "An man thinketh," says one, "No is he," right or wrong it stands; Then join us in the movement, This brotherhood of man. Bv J. I. Morton, the blind poet, 414 North Second street, St. Joseph, Mo.

PHONE 340 Entered at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. We are watching and waiting the outcome of the five culprits who outraged a trained nurse at 1224 Grand Ave, Kansas City, Mo, a few days ago. It is high time that that class of white people who are always behitting the Negro and accusing him of all crimes to become interested in what is taking place in their own race. We think as time rolls on, it will be clearly demonstrated to the Negro hater that crime committed by anyone, whether white or black, is just as humous and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It has only been a short time since two colored men were hanged in Kansas City. Mo. for far less brutal crime and the one just committed by these six white men will go down as the most brutal, humous outrage in the annals of crime. Now the fair-minded white man who wants to build up the race should take charge of this low class of white men, make them respect the law and deal out justice to all alike. Every since the Died Scott decision, the courts of this country are following out and continuing to hold that the Negro has no right that a white man is bound to respect and the decision handed down from the U. S. Supreme Court of Appeals and Distinct Courts on down have followed in the lines of this infamous Died Scott decision, thereby attaching the progress of a race that has been more abused than any other since the death of Christ on the Cross. They have been driven from their homes, outraged, burned, segregated and not allowed to work, only when white man could not be obtained at starvation wages. And still the white men expect the Negro to be as honest, upright, both morally and physically, as himself, when he has all the opportunity and the Negro none. How can this be, when all of these outrages are heaped upon him by that low class of white man who see no good in the Negro and very little in the better class of white people. Deal out justice to all alike. As soon as the white press will give the colored man fan treatment in portraying crimes to an inflamed and diseased public mind, who is always waiting to hew of similar crimes, so they can cry, Burn! Lynch! Drive them out of the community, the innocent as well as the guilty. When they cease to exeute such outrages, there will be less crimes as this one in their own race. COUNCIL GROVE, KANSAS.

Efforts to collect a pension for the widow have always failed and she was forced to care invaluable for her former life by work. He recently under President Wilson administrated the claims of M Smith were being paid and public time allowed. A letter to the government made the announcement of $7200 with interest, right to the amount $11604. This money for back pension at the rate of $12 --- per month for fifty years—the time that has elapsed since the husband's death. Mrs. Smith has spent most of her widowhood in Lawrence. A simple knowledge of family medicines have enabled her to make a living at nursing. She owns her own home besides some rental property in the city so that in later years the pension which the government owed her has not been greatly missed. Her children are all living are married and have families of their own. Mrs. O'being one of a number of grandchildren. Miss Helma Chiles has been slightly misdisposed this week.

He owes 17 l. farm of 117 acres, which produces over 180 tons of alfalfa, which has acres at this place of the most valuable land in Missouri. He has taken the premium for three years and which he sells at $1450 per car. He has five thorough bred horses on this farm, besides owning several pieces of city property, and houses in St. Joseph.

We wish we and a thousand men like him in Missouri and Kansas, and we could start banks and any other business house and succeed. We wish him continued success. --- The citizens of South St. Joseph are proud of their physician, Dr. Fenton M. Goodwin. He is a graduate of Meharry, in the class of 1911. He was born in Carroiton, Mo., and is a good physician and surgeon, has the confidence of the people and is making good. He has a large practice among both white and colored Rev. N. C. Buren, pastor of the A. M. E. church of St. Joseph, is doing nicely and has just closed a revival meeting, assisted by Rev. D. I. Williams the blind evangelist of Arkansas. Rev. Bluen is a great worker and is doing much in building up St. Joseph. ATKISON. Dr. Caldwell is doing nicely in Atchison and enjoys a fine practice. Dr. W. H. Hudson, who lives just recovered from a spell of sickness, out again attending to his patients He is contemplatory taking a little trim for recuperation in a few days. Mrs. Katie Handy, of Atchison entertained a church party that does not have to go away home in search of good meals. Keep it Beautiful by using our wonderful hair growers - "S EX O" and "U N E D A."

F. L. Ingram, a bloom maker, has merely stated and lighted and gives us fine entertainments as one wishes to see. The pictures and vaudeville are first class and up to date. Now, if a blind man can accomplish this, what should one do with both eyes, health and strength. He should be encouraged and the colored people of Atkinson as well as the white, should give him the patronage he deserves. We visited the colored school of Atchison, of which Prof. Gray is the principal and Miss Hattie Ingram assistant, and they are doing much for the Atchison youth. We called their attention to the old dilapidated school building and we were told that the school board was preparing to build an up to date building in another place. God knows it is time they were, as this one is not fit to educate dogs in. It has an old leaky roof, dingy, dirty walls, filthy toilets and is very unsanitary. It is a wonder that more disease is not contracted than is, in such a place. If Dr. Crumbine wants to do a Christian act, he should go to Atchison and inspect this old dilapidaed building which they are educating the colored youth in. Atchison has a fine class of white people and we cannot understand why they insist in holding the colored children in such a building. Shame on the white man that will boast of his Christian civilization and will not treat the colored man as human. We told the colored people of Atchison, if they would call on the old war horse and friend, Senator Basilv Waggoner, it would be given consideration at once. When we arrived in Atchison we were informed that a mock conference was in session at the A. M. E. church, of which Rev. Taylor is pastor. We attended as it was the first mock conference we had had the opportunity to attend and standing room was at a premium. It was a source of pleasure to hear the members represent the ministers and missionaries making their reports. Rev. Taylor was Bishop and undertook the members of the con- square deal. There was a delicate fun when the men from Mexico arrived as well in Boyd, of the Baptist Public School of N. Holl's. It should be the proceeds of the event towards the church.
