Historical Society State House THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER RACE DISCRIMINATION STRONGLY OPPOSED RACE DISCRIMINATION STRONGLY OPPOSED Legislature Proposal Considered Dangerous President by Howard University Educator. To the Editor of the Stat: The eternal Nagro question has been a instaing element in public and political discussion from the foundation of the government down to the present hour. The public mind may seek temporary relief by focusing attention on economic and material issues; the perplexed statman may put it inside for some more convenient season yet ever and ever it recurs with unabated aggravation. At the present time it appears in the form of the pending proposition to segregate the colored employees under the civil service of the federal government. Should this proposal become enacted into law it would more definitely indicate the inferior status of the Negro race before the law than any single legislative act since the adoption of the constitution It would, indeed affect the declared purpose of our national policy, based upon absolute equality of citizens in all public considerations. The federal statute books, so far, are free from race and class legislation. At the time of the founding of the constitution, one fifth of the population was African blood and servile status. But the tar seeing wisdom of the founders omitted all racial designation or discrimination in organic law. A government boasting as equality as its basic principle which should deliberately debase the weak and helpless among its own citizens would be an anomaly in the eyes of the nations of the earth. Amid all of the passion and tumult of the anti-slavery conflict the federal statutes were kept free from the odium of race distinction. The obiter dictum of a chief justice of the Supreme court which infected race distinction into the decision of that tribunal was swiftly repudiated by the moral indignation of the aroused conscience of the American people. For this government today, to declare that the Negro shall not enjoy identical rights and privileges with the rest of his fellow citizens would be equivalent to the re-enforcement of the discredited dogma of Judge Taney. Indeed, the principle involved is just as vital to the ideal of the nation today as it was sixty years ago, although the public conscience may be less keenly alive to it. The war amendments in the constitution reaffirmed the original intention—that there should be no race distinction recognized by the national government. These great amendments written into the Constitution by the point of the buyone dipped in patriotic blood can never be erased nor their purpose ultimately defeated. Race discrimination is mentioned only to be forbidden. Mindful of the existence of these amendments, the states that have enacted laws repugnant to their spirit and letter have sought circumvention by cunningly devised phrases and tricky continuances. Every much revised constitution bears the stamp of righteous condemnation in its very phrasology. The policy of social separation of the rates alleged in justification of the pending measure, is a matter with which the federal government has nothing to do. The intimate social and personal relationship of citizens do not fall within the scope or purview of the federal authority. Its concern is with the comprehensive relations of all citizens. Matters of minor detail are left to local and subordinate jurisdictions. Situation in States. The general government cannot find warrant for such action in the example of the several states. Discriminatory laws in the states are sought to be justified on the ground of the relative number of Negroes in the general population. It is alleged that the great number of Negroes are unprepared for participation in government or for free intermingling with the whites without seriously lowering the tone and standard of civilization. The federal government has absolutely no such basis of excuse. The Negro repre- --- Sixteenth Year. No. 14. Free of Class Legislation. Discrimination Forbidden. that possess less than 11 per cent of the total population of the Union. This ratio is growing less with the passing of the decrees. So far no state with so slight a Negro current has deemed it necessary to adopt a code of "Jim Crow" laws. If the general government should be required to follow the example of the states it would more wisely follow the lead of the more numerous and populous ones, rather than the smaller number involved in exceptional circumstances. The Negroes at present constitute less than 5 percent of the federal employees, where is no discernible indication of an increase in this ratio. For forty years the Negro has entered the civil service of the government on the basis that he retains his hold shows that his work is satisfactory. It is not claimed that the race has up to the present time, been exempt from prejudice or discrimination in the public service. Neither is it fair to change that the present administration is the author and finisher of segregation. But this is the first time that the race as a whole has been humiliated by the threat that the iniquitous principle would be enacted into legislation and become a fixed policy of the government. I served in the civil service of the government under Democratic administration; the colored employees were then relatively more numerous than they are today. At that time no such law was deemed desirable or even dreamed of. The Negro since that time has made great progress both in the cultural and the substantial basis of respectability. During all of these years the public service has suffered no detriment nor his fellow employees any reasonable hardship by reason of his presence. If there has been cases of individual impropriety the case should be dealt with on the basis of individual descent. The segregation of the race is an unnecessary as a practical expedient as it is subversive of the spirit of free institutions. "Jim Crow" Slogan. "Separate but equal accommodations for both races" is the slogan of "Jim crow" legislation. Experience shows that this impracticable, as reflection would show it to be impossible. Identity is the essence of equality on all public functions. Two non-interchangeable parts cannot long maintain their original parity. If some of our sagacious statesmen should secure the enactment of a law that there shall be different weights and measures for the two races, but that the two yudsticks shall have the same length and that pound weights shall contain the same number of ounces; provided that no Negro shall be accommodated by the white man's units of weight and measure, and vice versa, under heavy penalty of law; in the short process of time human nature remaining what we know it to be, the Negro would be receiving the lighter weight and the shorter measure. The man who cannot protect himself will become the victim of every issue where his interests are separated from those of the community at large. If there were two stundeds of coinage, of the same weight and fineness only that the one set of coins must forever circulate among Negroes and the other among white people, the black man's coins would immediately depreciate in comparison. The parity could only be maintained by free interchangeability. Confidence In Dollar. The Negro has supreme confidence in the American dollar because he knows that the same coin that is in his pocket today will be in the white man's pocket tomorrow. And so it is with rights and privileges under the law. There can be no equality of rights denied. To the casual observer the assignment of space in government building to a handful of colored civil service employees would seem to be a matter of trivial importance. But closer inspection reveals a deeper significance. It is but the thin blade of the wedge whose entrance threatens to split the log usunder. Should the national government adopt this seemingly simple pro- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 3, 1914 on, it would thereby sanction all of the discriminatory legislation on the statute books of the several states, and would suggest and justify all such enactments in the future. The present plight of the Negro is a significant commentary on the doctrine that the white race is good enough to become the beneficent governor of the Negro without his consent or participation. There are 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States who are rapidly progressing in intelligence and wealth, and in responsible power. He has no voice in making administering or interpreting the laws by which he is to be governed. Men of the highest public place, whose positions rest upon the basis of a Negro constituency, denounce their black constituents from the seat of public power in a language not to be found in the lexicon of decency. There is no voice answering back. Legislation is proposed to humiliate and degrade the Negro such as no officer of the government would dare whisper concerning any other element of the nation. But the Negro's tongue is tied and his voice is hushed because of his political nullity. In his helpless need, the Negro can only say to the nation that he has been loyal and devoted to her standards and ideals with the hope that she is too fair to be unjust even to the least of her citizens. But in face of the current trend of things, he can only indulge in the plaintiff queery: "Is this the reward of loyalty?" KELLY MILLER. Howard University. GREAT BEND, KANSAS.

WINFIELD, KANSAS Among those who visited in Arkansas City last Sunday, were: Miss Lillian Franklin, Miss Dorothy North, Mr. Arthur Brown, Mr. Clarence Foust and Mr. Fred Cottom.

TUCKER, JR., IN SENATE RACE! H. H. Tucker, Jr.'s wonderful fight to establish and maintain a great enterprise in Kansas and Oklahoma has made his name known in the remotest part of the nation. His successful invasion and occupancy of a field, heretofore the undisputed province of the Oil Trust, forms one of the exceptional achievements of the Kansas City country. Kansas, with its eighty thousand square miles of prosperous area, with its generous prairies and productive valleys where literacy is loved and freedom revered—in the kaleidoscopic review of its soil of progress recently disclosed a dramatic political figure; the entrance into the Republican Senatorial Campaign of H H. Tucker, Jr., has introduced a new angle in the commonwealth already rooted for its complex politics. Politically Tucker is an unknown quantity and his strength is therefore not measurable by any of the accepted political standards. But Tucker is a fighter and Kansas has loved fighters since the old territorial days. when the country-side took up its muskets for free speech and free men; this is a gift of heredity, his father having been one of the men who bore arms for the Union and Lincoln. Tucker has played, and is playing, a big game, with has cards on the table, face exposed to whomsoever may look. Against him is pitted Brute Power—Criminal Money—operating through its devious and questionable methods, through its prostitution and purchase of American manhood, through its debauchery of corps, perjury of witnesses and terrorization of communities. The murderous methods of Huerta and the primitive savagery of Villa are alike lily-white when compared with the black flag, black-hand ways of the Ol Trust. Tucker started an oil company some ten years ago. He was successful. As an organizer and as an executive, he developed qualities of ordership. With him became assisted thousands of people who believed in oil and who had confidence in his integrity and ability. Led he been willing to be moderately successful, he might not have been the kind—probably would not have been The motto of freedom-loving Kansas "Ad nastin per asperin" ("To the stars through difficulties") became the armen of his ambition, the lone star of his goal. The Uncle of Oil Company had accumulated properties worth more than $2,000,000 consisting in part as follows: Three oil refineries, paraffine plant, 270 miles of pine line, forty distributing stations, 101 producing wells, faylene tank cars, 27,000 acres of oil and gas lenses in five great Oklahoma oil fields. Then came Tucker's final stroke of daring! To the oil trust to all his impudent career no such challenge had ever been issued. Tucker picked the richest plum in the oil world—the immense 41,000-acre oil lease in the Ouage nation—worth no more $20,000,000. The Oil Tiger, surfeited with the life blood of thousands of independent producers, enriched with a billion dollars torn from the homes of the nation, went forth from its lair to destroy Tucker. But Tucker wasn't afraid. Never was such a battle fought since time was begun. Tucker's aim was strong: his armor was paneled with flight and with him to the danger zone advanced 12,000 stockholders. But against him as an individual the weapons of falschool and vilification were directed. We want every reader of this paper in this city, and every other city and township in the state to sign the Tucker petition when presented until they are filled to the law's limit. This is a fight for Kansas and it should be the pleasure of every loyal citizen to aid in such a contest for right. Our forces are already at work in the northwest, center, the western the entire eastern and southeastern part and along the southern borders of the state. We are going to organize in every precinct and every county in the state, and it will be a real tight very minute from now until real principles of Lincoln Republicanism has won in Kansas by an overwhelming majority, and aids to encourage the forces of right in every other state under the Stars and Stripes. Yours for victory. W. M. DIAL, Campaign Mgr. Campaign Headquarters, 1409 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, Ks.

E. church was in Independence Sunday, March 20, to preach an annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias lodge. Rev. Mrs. Johnson is slowly recovering. Mr. Will Bennett, who taken sick last Thursday with pneumonia, is just about the same. There was no Sunday School last Sunday at the Bethlehem Baptist church, because of the small pox being so bad on the East side. The West side was afraid to come over. Mr. J. L. Robertson, who lives here in Cherryvale, started up a grocery store and cafe. The opening was last Saturday night. Remarks were made by Rev. Cain. This is a colored concern and the first that was ever started among the colored people in Cherryvale; and we can say to the colored people of any town or city that has to come here and stay over night, and have no place to lay their heads or get a square meal, to come around on South Depot street where our store is, and come in and they will treat you as nice as you are treated in any white man's store.

THE ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD GOVERNMENT. In order to form a clear concep tion in considering this subject, no doubt it would be wise to consider it first in its simple meaning. Webster tells us that the essentials of a thing implies not only that which is necessary to the constitution or the existence of a thing but in its broader sense, it implies the most important principles upon which that thing is constituted. Again we have the word government, a very common word I will admit but how few have stopped to consider this word ever in its simplest meaning. Government politically speaking implies the form of fundamental rules or principles by which a nation or state is governed,—then why do we have government? Because it seems a necessary consequence of man's nature. The people in general will need roads for traveling; will need school houses in order to secure an education, they will desire to preserve the local peace and many other things they will desire for the public welfare. therefore, in order to carry out their desires, so they might work in harmony it is necessary for them to organize as a political body. As there are many different kinds of government used in different countries, I am going to base my opinion of the "Essentials of good Government." upon the general government of the United States, as a whole. We, as a nation, are known as a Federal National Republic, living under a government advised as the National Government; a government supposed to be "of the people, by the people and for the people;" a government organized to carry on certain public work, to establish justice and to provide for the common defense of the people. Then if this being a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" it would appear to me that the first essential toward a good government would be the just consideration of each eligible voter of this Nation, before casting his vote for those who are to be chosen to rule the people of this nation, also the enforcement of the requirements of certain qualifications in the voters of this rep Blc Again. It ours is a government "of the people, by the people and for the people." it is an evident fact that her weakness is not the responsibilities of the President, his cabot nor other leader officials but her weakness devolves itself upon the people of this nation. The responsibility of a good government rests upon the people in general, because it is their privilege to select and elect those persons who are most capable to give perfect operation to the machinery of the government; to adjust its movements; to prevent its eccentrices and to balance its forces. It is through the people that the progress of a good government or the downfall of a corrupt government is determined. Yet after all this construction of "Essentials of good Government might fall, for the work of man is perilable, yet it must fall, if there be not that vital spirit in the people if there be not that vital interest in the people which alone can nourish, sustain and direct all its movements toward good government. These in my opinion, are first essential in the making of a good government and when we as a people of a nation, awake within us that spirit that interest and that determination which alone is necessary for the progress of a good government and when we learn to consider justly with ourselves and cast our votes for those men who are capable of giving us clean and fast government, then we will have accomplished the basic or first essential of good government. The most great essential of good government is the enforcement of the requirements of certain civilisation. We are men whom the people choose for office; of those into whose hands we commit the municipality our government. They should be men who have the interest of the people in hearts; they should be men who are clean, just and honest; they should be men who are best qualified or fitted to manage the affairs of the people. For we consider briefly the responsibility that arises upon those men whom the people have placed in office. Our government is divided into three branches, namely: 1. The Legislative and Law Making branch, which is composed of those men who are chosen by the people to make laws which are to govern the people of this nation. 2. The Judicial, or law interpreting branch, composed of officers who e duty is to explain the law to the people through the courts of the United States. 3. We have the Executive or law Enforcing branch composed of the Governor and other state officers, whose duty it is to see that the laws which govern the people are enforced. Then, seeing that we are to be wholly governed by those who we place in office and by those into whose hands we place the government of ourselves how much more careful should we be in choosing those who are to govern us? In the way of conclusion, the greatest strength toward a good government, is attained through a thorough knowledge of our weaknesses in our Nation as well as individual lives. How many nations have fallen through a failure of the people to recognize and remedy a weakness? How are we to remedy our weaknesses? First of all by being just, by being honest with ourselves and by casting our votes for clean, just, capable and reliable men. The sooner we as a people of a ration, struggling for existence and pleading for justice, I repent the sooner we blot our all forms of bribery and injustice, which serves to corrupt a good government the sooner will we have a good government and the sooner will we receive justice. Our only hope for good government and stability lies chiefly in the fact that our corner stone is eternal justice, the equality of all men before the law. In good government the worth of each individual will not be taken for granted, but it must be shown. Living in the highest belt of civilization, in a country capable of producing almost everything desirable, there is every reason to believe that if we are true to ourselves and our opportunities we may enjoy prosperity and boldly advocate our government as a just government, being "of the people, by the people and for the people."

News reached the city one day last week, announcing the death of Mr. Abe Henderson, for many years a resident of Topeka and a member of the police force for several years. Mr. Henderson was one of the best and most favorably known men in the city. Quiet modest and unassuming, and his gentle manner drew around him a wide circle of friends among both races. He was a deacon P of the B. Street Baptist church, and after locating in California several years ago, he entered the ministry. Some five months ago Rev. Henderson visited several days with re'a tives and friends in Topeka, and at that time looked the picture of health and his demias was shock and surprise to all who knew him. The accompanying cut is a photo taken while he was a member of the Topeka police force. Rev. Henderson was a good, conscientious Christian, and none are sadder than his host of friends in Topeka. Peace to his ashes. REV. T. T. WARD'S LAST SUNDAY AT "B" ST. Editor Plaindealer: I came to Topeke twenty-three months ago through invitation of the Second ("B" St.) Baptist church, N. Topeku, for the purpose of taking charge of the church, and after we sized up each other in every visible way we both were satisfied—church accepted me; I accepted the church; and then began a campaign. At the time there was a mortgage of $2,600 and a floating debt of $250. After we found out the exact indebtedness of the church I agreed with the good people to throw my strength against these debts and see that they were paid and the church obligated themselves to see that the pastor's salary was kept up. The first eight or nine months on an average we raised in the neighborhood of $250 per month and by the end of seventeen months the debt on the church was cut to $1,600, but for some reason I have not been able to tell my salary got in arrears to the sum $300 or more. But after all I have no complaints and nothing bud to say against the good people whom I have labored with for these many months. I can safely say that on an average of doing things they are like all other Baptist churches. I do not regret the time I have spent in Toneka, and I am sure that I have made many life long friends and some I shall never forget. Sunday at the 11:00 o'clock service the dollar rally will follow covenant. Each member is supposed to give $1. At 2:30, preaching and baptizing and at night preaching and farewell address to the church and friends. As this is supposed to end my ministerial work with the Second Baptist church of North Toneka, a cordial invitation is extended to all members, friends and well wishers to be with us. (REV.) T. T.
