If it Bars Female Suffrage, Away With It! Colored Men are Tired of "Amendment" Scarecrow---We are Americans and Will Exercise Our Rights as Such. If the Christian Religion was Adheared the People Would Need no Constitution---Christ Had None But Civic Righteousness. There has been much talk in the past few years of repealing the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, which was intended to give every man a right to vote in any state in the union. This amendment was passed for the purpose of giving the colored man a right to vote in the Southland, and it be counted. This was a war measure and the framers knew well that the Southern white man who rebelled against the Union on account of his slaves, would not stand to see the blocks have fair treatment or equality. Before the law from the fact that they had lost in their contention that it was right to enslave people, if by the bayonet. So far as the rights of mankind are concerned, under the constitution, every human being who is native born, is entitled to the same rights whether white or black. The Declaration of Independence has declared and decreed that all men are free and equal under future laws that would govern this country. Although there were at the time, free colored men as well as slaves. The following is the Declaration of Independence which gives the colored man his rights after the Emancipation Proclamation: IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to desolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and unequal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impels them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to altar or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. It was necessary for the fifteenth amendment, but if the southern white man would have been fair and acknowledged that slavery was wrong, the amendment would never have been. The amendment reads as follows: "Article 15, Section 1:-The rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race color or previous conditions of servitude. Section 2:-The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." This gives Congress the right to enforce the amendment. They have never attempted to do so, and thus far, the colored people who reside in the rebel states are in the same condition they were before the war, and are not allowed to vote or even express themselves on matters pertaining to the interest and welfare of the government, notwithstanding they are citizens and own property and pay taxes. The Republican party has been in control of the executive, judicial and legislative body since the enactment of this amendment and nothing has been done to enforce it. All men like Hoke Smith, Tillman and Vaudeman are allowed to go over the country and parade to the public that they disfranchise the colored man; stuff the ballot box, lynch and burn him if he even attempts to vote. They have stood up in the halls of Congress and made this statement unchallenged and yet neither of the parties have attempted to enforce the amendment. Now in order to be fully understood in this matter, we wish to say that the colored man is an American citizen and must stand on the constitution as does the white man and we do not expect no more nor no less. If the white man can hold his citizenship without the fifteenth amendment, the colored man can do the same. The statement was made by Senator Borah in a debate on woman suffrage, that before they could get suffrage they would have to repeal the fifteenth amendment. We want to say to the Senator and his kind that the colored men of America do not want the fifteenth amendment to stand in the way of woman suffrage. We know they mean white women and to save argument will state in this way. The white man shows his cowardice by trying to fool the women of his race by flaunting in their face the fifteenth amendment and staving it is a barrier to their rights of suffrage. The amendment has been a bog-a-boo for many years and has done much to be that class of white men in office and fill their coffers. Man "The Vaxlergy, Tillman, Smith and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 27, 1914. WARNING TO THE PUBLIC! Beware of one Howard B. Bardeau who has credentials authorizing him to sofit business for The Topka Plainsaler. You are hereby notified not to transport any business with him. He is a defaulter and embe- zler of several dollars which he col- lected and converted to his own use. He is about 5 ft. 5 in. in height and could pass for a half bred Indian or Mexican; very talkative and repres- ents himself as being an instructor of motion picture plays. He is very much infatuated with young women and is quite a "masher." Anyone seeing or hearing from him will fa- vor us greatly by reporting same to this office. PAOLA, KANSAS. Mr. John E. Lowry, who is a student at the Kansas University, visited home folks Saturday. On his return to Lawrence, he stopped over at Holiday and visited his sister, Mrs. Zola Lowry. Miss Lilly Mue Shepherd, of Kinsa City, visited the school Tuesday. She had been visiting the patients west of town. The talk at the A. M. Church their class use it to array the working class of white men against the colored, thereby keeping Vaidaman and his followers in or at and making them rich. They use this "spectator." Nigra Dum nation" and say if the colored man is given his rights the white man will be eliminated. This just like shaking at a bull's face, and the poor whites go out like ducks to Thel place Vaidaman et al in office and they soon grow rich. The other hand, the men in the Republican party pretending to followers of Lincoln and advocates of human rights, say it will put us in office we will see that the nineteenth amendment will not be repealed. The colored voter and his white friends greg hold of this and put these afterts in office and they get rich and pretend there is a great race problem and they are worse hard to keep in position to give the colored man his rights. Yet these same fellows never attempt to enforce the put heats of an discussed amendment. Now we want the white women to have equal suffrage and if they get it we know the colored men and women will do theirs. We have confidence in the white women of America and believe they are fair, honest and upright and if it was not to them we do not know what the colored people would do in notica. We think it is poor grace for Hoke Smith, Vardeman. The man and their followers who are opposing equal suffrage for their women, who stood by them in their struggle of rebellion went to the battle field and attended the wounded and buried the dead, run the farms and kept them in shape while the men were off on a campaign that resulted in disaster. These women were loyal and are entitled to a right to vote and the benefits thereof and hold office and see that proper laws are enacted for the protection of them and theirs. As a rule the Southern white to look upon the women as inferior to them and do not believe they should have the same privilege even before the law as they will the Northern white man is different. The one reason the Southern white man do not want his women to exercise the right of suffrage is because they are enslaving the young white girls from 8 years of age to women up to 100 by working them in the factories at starvation ware. And too, the Southern white man is not particular about white slavery. You will not find any law of that kind enacted on their statute books, they pretend to reverence and respect their women which is all moonshine and outward show. If the person are permitted to vote and hold office, they will righten all of the wrongs and bring these states up to the standard of the north. The people are catching on to this and it will only be a short time until the arraying of the colored people against the white will cease and there will be no discussion of the fifteenth amendment Jim crow laws or matters of such that brings on race hatred. The fourteenth amendment as well as all others places the color man on equal footing with his white brother. The fourteenth amendment reads as follows: Article 14, Section 1:—All persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. netted $3050 Mrs. Ferne Brooks as captain of one club lead with $1600.

Proud of D1. Edwards' Work Former Topeka Divine Doing Great Work in Texas. God has never failed to hear an earnest notation of those who serve Him. We can but feel that the guidance of heaven was upon Bishop C. S. Smail, D. D., M. D., of the Tenth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, at the last annual conference held in the city of Fort Worth, in the appointing of Rev. J. E. Edwards, D. D., to St. James, Dallas, for the Year 1913 and 1914 God knows the meaning of His saints, the language of their groans. We know He has heard the groans of the A. M. E. connection in healf of St. James, and that He has only used Bishop Smith as the "burning brush" by which to convey His message to the "Moses" he had selected as the leader of this people. The one to whom we refer is a man of many years experience and unexcelled success as a pastor in our great church. A native of Columbia, S. C., educated in Howard University, Washington, D. C. After a thorough preparation in school, when a mere kid, he came direct to Dallas in May 1881, to begin life's work in a field when the harvest was great and laborers were few. He was appointed to Quinn Chapel, Denison, in July of the same year, by Bishop R. H. Cain to complete the year's work. During his stay in Denison he taught school and served his church at the same time. At the close of the conference year he met the N. E. Texas Conference which met in Waxahachie in December was ordained deacon and appointed to St. James, Dallas, where he remained for three years teaching and serving the church. A heavy mortgage was at this time hanging over the church, which also involved Bethel, the same he paid for both and thereby relieved the embarrassment of the correction in Dallas. He also built up a fine Sunday school, added many members to the church and with Prof. I. M. Terrell of Fort Worth conducted the first State Normal ever held in North Texas. The Rev. Mr. Edwards has built and paid for three first-class churches for the connection, namely: Reedy Chapel, Galveston, after the great fire of 1865, paid for the same and burned the mortgage in the presence of his congregation. He then came to Houston and there met a complicated affair, Wisley Chapel, but managed his forces in such a way that the matter was soon settled to the satisfaction of all. He then served the Watee charge, and in 1898 was transferred by Bishop R. P. Lee, D. D., to Cal forms to take charge at Oakland, where he spent five years of pleasant service. Here he became so gratified in the hearts of his people, because of his mindy hearing, and earnest work for the church, they were loath to give him an after the limited time had been served. Mr. L. Edward, he ever made the care of the young people in his charge before leaving Oxford and was awarded a life time member of the Y. M. C. A, which he has made a part of his work in all his charges. He was then sent to Los Arizona after the dystrophy earth the western coast, where he been at the end of the A. M. E. even years. Here his work with 150 members, his meetings and rebuilt the building at a cost of $2,000 paid for some, left $2,000 in part payment on a $1,000 and a membership of seven With a duration of 12 years in the far West, with friends whose memory and never die, he was transferred by "our mans" beloved Bishop Sirius, to Papuka, Kauai, where he raised a mortgage of more than three thousand dollars of old Saint John Here, another young problem contracted him. The old stone structure was condemned by the city, the mortgage hanging and a great interruption, a point standing as it were before every face. What shall we do? With a blushish" in the rear. of Rev. L. Edwards to give the command, they began to march at once the towing walls of the mortgage began to crumble and fall and also the old building, and soon a real stone structure was erected where weary "Israel" could praise God with happy hearts. Rev. Edwards was then sent to Wichita, and while here the death of Bishop Grant caused him to return to the state of Texas to accompany the remains to San Antonio. While in the state, viewing the old stamping ground, memories of the past began to play a pleasant drama in his heart. He revisited the scenes we he first walked out in the sunlight of God's holy service, met the faces of loved ones of bygone days, and examined within his heart of hearts, oh how I loved the old state with the good people! Last year on hearing of the trouble in Saint James he decided to return to the dear old state and with Christ in front confront another complex problem in the first regular charge he ever held. Rev. Edwards has represented the church in eight General Conferences, and was a delegate to the Ecumenical conference of Methodism in London, England in 1910. While in England he filled a number of leading pulpits, and was extended an invitation to take charge of one of the great churches of London. While abroad he traveled extensively and gathered much valuable information of the Old World. He united in marriage in the city of Dallas to the daughter of Bishop R. H. Cain, Aug. 25, 1881. His wife has in every sense been to him as Longfellow's Laughing Water to Hiawatha. As unto the bow the cord is, So unto the man is woman, Though she bends him, she obeys him. Though she draws him, yet she follows Useless one without the other. With willing hands and loving heart she has helped to throw aside the heavy weight of life, and drive away the darkest clouds, and thereby permit the beautiful rays of sunlight to shine on the path of the man she loved and cherished. In his present work at St. James it is like the returning of Israel from her captors in Babylon. She has thrown inside her sack-cloth and ashes and is again singing the Lord's song in Zion. As the remnant of Israel responded to Hezekiah, just so is old St. James responding to the wishes of their much esteemed pastor, Rev. J. E. Edwards. A great year for the gathering in of souls and much material work is anticipated by this people. Already the wide breach of distrust has been drawn together. So blessing, so tender and with so much mercutism does the Word of God from his lips, until none can hear him without saying, "surely this man has walked with God and leaved of Hia." Already there has been many new additions to the church, and the retiring darkness of the past, is fast responding to the rising light of a brighter day of grace and prosperity. The people of Dulc is bid him God's speed and pray that he may have the magnanimity of Abraham, the courage of Isaac, the shrewd policy of Jacob the counsel of Moses the strategy of Joshua, the strength of Samson, and the abiding faith of David in order that he may lead this people into a beautiful structure erected to the honor of God -Titus Freeman NEWTON, KANSAS.

Death has entered our ranks and taken from our midst, one of the brighter jewels, our beloved sister and co-worker, Sister Laura Vaughn, who departed this life Sunday, March 1. n. 11:30 o'clock a. m. To her were intrusted many talents, and by being the faithful servant that she was, she increased them many folds, and has gone to reap her reward, and enter upon a higher and greater service. Through six years of daily contact and encouragement, we learned to love her. She was untiring in her work; faithful to keep her promise; and spoke words of encouragement and cheer to all. Whereas, in the death of Mrs. Vaughn, we have lost a faithful and true friend, and Whereas, her devotion to her work for Christ, was an inspiration to us all, therefore, be it Resolved that we bow our heads in humble submission to His will, and be it Resolved, that as she was faithful over a few things here, and has now become ruler over many things, that we strive to emulate her example that when death comes to us, we too shall hear the welcome of our heavenly Father: "Well done thou good and faithful servant," and be it further Resolved, that we extend the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy, and command them to Him, who doeth all things well, and Resolved, that we cherish her memory, keeping in mind the great sacrifice she made to build the church militant, and has now entered the church triumphant and that we send her family a copy of these resolutions that a copy be sent to the Topeka Plaindealer and that a copy be spread upon the Sewing Circle minutes.

Socialists progressing, let the Negro progress a little too, while the outcree is favorable. It is to be hoped that the Mexican trouble will soon cease and give the greasers who are on this side a chance to go home and remain there. It pays to raise chickens with old worn out herds and cripple roosters at 15 am 120 cents a pound and eggs 40 cents a dozen for cold storage ones at that. We are proud of the fact that many of our readers in this state, Oklahoma and elsewhere, are taking to the country and securing farms. They have found out that the cities are over crowded and possess far less advantage for one to become independent than the country. The Plaindealer expects to reach the 50,000 circulation line by November. From present evidences pouring into our office daily, we feel that our expectations will be fully realized. If there is any man or woman who needs a pension, it is the old slave. Panish the Negro from this land, and the United States would be the most lonesome country on the fact of the Globe. But, we are going to let him remain in the land of his birth and we are going to protect him. They got tired of doing one thing all the time down in Mississippi last week and hung a white scoundrel who assaulted a colored girl. Let everyone who can secure him a home, even if it is only a few acres, and he can be assured of something to eat at any rate, part of the year. The Republicans of Kansas have put the pot on and are now looking for kindling to start the fire. They brought over the Italian, the Greek and coaxed from over the Rio Grand, the Mexican and put them in labor's field, while the Irishman, Negro and other American citizens are turned out in the goat pasture among the rocks and mullen stalks to "root hog or die." The days of the middle man, and other stand between, are numbered, judging from the exilerating activities of the farmers. The latter are shaping affairs to deal direct with the consumer and sell their products to him direct. The planters and land owners in several of the Southern states are taking an active part in organizing the Negro and otherwise aiding him in his struggle for proper recognition among the races of America. The nearer that election day gets to you, the nearer draws that loathsome, creeping worm, that green-cased centipede—the modern politician—and deeper the sling parasitic sticks its putrid bill. When one barbars away his vote he puts the suicidal knife to his manhood. Very few Negroes find their way into insane asylums. Let a Negro feel that you trust him and have confidence in him, and he will die for you. If there has ever been a law formalized in the interest of the laborer producer or the Negro, we have failed to interpret it. We are continually making new laws, creating new offices and crushing with taxation the other man, in order to support a lot of official barndes. What we want at this time is harmony, unity of operation and a healthy all-together pull for success. The advanced, cultured and better class of citizens, both white and black are for equal show as between the races. That the old slave should be pensioned, is evidenced by the steps now taken to help the condition of Negroes in the south and give him a free and open track in the race for well earned positions and well earned recognition. We have a lot of letters out addressed to representative white leaders of the southern states asking their views upon the question of segregation and pensioning the old slave. From a few, we have favorable replies, and as soon as all are heard from, will publish a startline list of our friends of the South. We are patient, have always been patient, and only ask under the constitution and law of our country, the rights we have honestly earned. Instead of no much emblale and profile over the tariff and high cost of living, let our law makers formulate some law for the benefit of the producer, the laborer and the colored men. The votes of over nine million American citizens are quite an item. Let these votes be cast for man who will legislate in the interest of the voter—the colored man. The Negro has demonstrated his ability to compete with, and stand by his white brother, in any and all paths of human industry, and advocations of life, why close the gates on his progress and shut him out of his lawful rights?

GRIFFIN Men, Politics and Business as we See Them ...Gov. Hodges is the People's Choice, and Straws Tell What the Democrats Have Made Good. Mr A. J. Duff, who for the past 10 years has been engaged in the undertaking and furniture business has yielded to the demands of his friends and entered the contest for mayor. He has never before asked for an office and his fine record and success in the business world has drawn about him a wide circle of friends and warm supporters among all classes. Personally, he is a fine man, pleasing in manner and kind in disposition, and if elected mayor would serve the people faithfully and give them a nice, clean business administration. To colored people he has always been fair and assisted them whenever and wherever he could and if elected will give them something to do in the city departments. All of our travelers we have never visited a city where the colored people are not employed by the city. They pay taxes, get the prison, and our situation gives them no opportunities. In coverage with a number of leading colored citizens, they say that the present administration has never been favorable to them, giving Mr. Daff is not a politician, but a successful, kind-hearted business man who will treat all man square and give them a chance to earn a livelihood. The colored people will make no mistake by supporting Mr. Daff, and we hope they will use wisdom and lend a hard in most of our masters. Maren It was relicted here in the seventh district when Demolats from all sections of it was gathered and partions of a moral feast and opened campuses of several offices.

Houses we parted, and this being the hour of many Negro farms that are part of all sections of Dawne County to grave the fares and has man ever sat in Karu 'executive chair of the state. At the new state hospital, the state board of Control, with Gov. Hodge inspected the institution, and gave the irrigation plant a thorough test Everything was just as ordered sanitary and in perfect order. This writer in traveler over the state finds kickers throughout, but the good same citizen with whom we come in contact are for Hodges of the kickers would not be for themselves were they filling the executive chair. Hodges is clean, upright, honorable and square, has made good as a business man and his party is going to nominate him and the people are going to elect him. In company with Mr. Alex Jones, Preston Phillips of Manhattan and W. V. Smith, one of the largest land owners and stock raisers in Pawnee County, we visited the new State Hospital, which is located about four miles from this city. The two males in Mr. Smith's big towing car here are inspecting the new institution, which is modern in appearance. There is chance to own a kind and noble. We were treated to a substantial well-cooked meal we were conveyed to Mr. Smith's proper efficient stock farm, located on R I D. No. 21. It is the home of fine Percheron horses and 0.1. C. hogs and they are the blue blood of their respective families. Mr. Smith also conducts a thriving business, owning and operating a number of machines. His farm is a model—one of the most beautiful and well kept in the West. Mr. Smith is worth over $35,000. He owns two promised farms of 320 acres worth $7,100 new acres city property valued at $6,000 or $4,000 and $7,000 worth of personal property. He is a fine gentleman and destined to be a millionaire.

NINE FOR CONGRESS "A political party exercises one of its most important functions when it takes cognizance of the life and habits of those citizens who have risen to prominence and prosperity through their own well directed efforts and who have been of material value in the actual affairs and development of the commonwealth.

In politics he has been a strong Republican and was elected to the office of County Attorney which he held for four years giving the county one of the strongest law-enforcement administrations that it has ever had." The above from the Newton Daily Rep. Brian Kansman is a fine endor- sement of worthy townman, and it hears that Mr. Bramine is worthy of the confidence of those he seeks to serve.
