But Uncle Sam is awful angry at the Mexican Government and has been every since Benton the Britisher, was murdered by Mexicans and threatened to go to war and now Uncle Sam has been intensified by the recent arrest of two American blue jackets off the coast of Tampico by Mexican officers and has demanded an apology in the form of salute of 25 guns to wipe out the insult of Stars and Stripes, if rot, bloot will be shed. Ute Sam is right in demanding respect for the flag, and protection to its citizens. For has not this government set itself down as the protection and guardian of every right of its citizens. But what about the crimes committed in this country against the colored race? It will be remembered a number of years ago. Baker, the colored postmaster in South Carolina, with the American flag wrapped around him, was shot down in cold blood and the perpetrators of the crime were never brought to justice. Mexico with all the outrages committed has never reached the brutality that has been committed against the Afro-Americans in this country. For instance, a few days ago a colored man was taken from the jail in Mississippi, nalled in a pure box saturated with coal oil, and set on fire, and his body burned to a crise. He had committed no crime except to defend his home with a shotgun from the assaults of rusks. What did Uncle Sam do about it? Notling, In Texas, not long ago, they took a little colored boy from jail, of whom it had been said kissed a white girl, cut off his lips, ears and nose, and turned him loose. Mexi so never did a thing as barbarous as that. But the most recent outrage, happened in Oklahoma, where a rob of 100 men, tied and bound a defenseless woman and strung her up in a tree and riddled her body with bullets. Her offense was killing a white man who had attempted to continually outrage her. The crime committed by Mexicans against humanity, are nothing when compared with crimes committed against a certain class of people in the United States. Tell it not in gath that Mexi so in time of war does not commit the outrages that Ameriricans commit in time of peace. Mr. J. B. Cone, of Leavenworth is conducting a nice restaurant and cafe and is doing a fine business. He is increasing his business and making an addition to his building. He has a large garden and rases enough vegetables for his family table. Mrs. Emma Montgomery and husband are also conducting a nice restaurant and cafe at 517 Shawnee. Miss Olive Henderson, one of the most prominent teachers of Kansas City is doing fine and is considered one of the best teachers in the state. She has never been married and from all appearance we would call him a leuky man who colud slip in and join her affections. It is the aim and object of The Toppa Plaindealer to look out for the least interest of everyone concerned in civilization and Christianity. Of course we have been partial to the coloured race, because they are impred upon more than any other rationality under the sun. Therefore we think it is our unbounded duty to help the underdog. In talking with Dr. R. C. Hayden, president of the Aesculapaean Medical society of Kansas City, Kansas, he informs us that they are preparing to organize a state medical organization which is very necessary in this state. Dr. Hayden is one of the leading physicians of that city and enjoys a lucrative practice. He has recently purchased a fine automobile and owns a fine home. He is full of life and energy and al- ways strives to advance. He is a Spilingfield Boy by birth and a graduate of Meharry. Prof. R. J. Jackson is preparing so open a summer school at Allen Shapel, Tenth and Charlotte, Kansas City, Mo. He is one of the best music instructors in the West and makes a specialty in teaching piano, violin and pipe organ, also vocal music.

Y., had this to say in regard to our war with Mexico, last Sunday: "I speak for myself, and trust to discover that I voice the sentiment of the audience. I would ask if the gentlemen offering the resolution has grasped the secret of warfare—the hidden motive which leads men to the field of battle for the slaughter of their fellow men. The ultimate purpose of war is the aggrandisement of territory and the exploitation of men, and not the honor of a country's emblem. "The purpose of war is the opening up of new markets for the extended trade of the rich and powerful conquest, conquest of men and conquest of land. And who are they, that, in the time of war pound out their life-blood and stain the soil with the blood of their fellow men? It is the great army of the unemployed whose lives are crushed by the rich and powerful in the time of peace. Those poor devils for whom their country cares nothing in the days that are serene and tranquil; those—the common people—who find no means of sustenance for themselves and their families in the days of quiet are called upon to go to war and get killed for their country's honor. "The bankers and brokers of Wall street do not go to war; the great capitalists of the land do not go to war. No, but they send you and me, Why don't they send John D. Rockmoor men, to war to win new markets for the satiation of their greed while they sit secure in their great offices, read the ticker, as the news is flash over the wire, and learn of the progress of the war and the rise or fall of their stock. "Let the rich man go to war and not shot; let Mr. Wilson, if he wants war. No, but they send you and me, feller, who charges us fourteen cents for oil that does not cost him four cents—and which the Eternal God out in the bowels of the earth for the use of men; let the barons of the coal fields of Pennsylvania; let Mr. Swift, Mr. Armour, Mr. Cudahy and Mr. Martin, who grinds us down in the necessities of life go to war and not shot, but call not upon the people, who, in death, leave only a long line of widows and orphans in utter want and in dire distress to die for a cause which is not theirs." PASTOR TELLS CHURCH MEMBERS DUTY TO NATION. Advises Colored People to Fight for Flag if Necessary. The Rev. J. M. Brown, pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, has sent out some advice to the members of his congregation on the present war crisis. His message follows: "For nearly 300 years the events and making of American history has been incomplete without us. At no time have we ever been known to betray and trust—national or otherwise—confided to us. We have been loyal to all American interests and American institutions. For our part we have never allowed the old flag to touch the ground. While honor and credit have often gone to others, we have unservedly stamped to the firing line in every conflict and played the patriot's part with the spirit of true gallantry. Some day this country of ours will recognize our TOPEKA, KANSAB, FRIDAY, MORNING MAY 8, 1914. Gov. Hodges Removes Bar on Colored Nurses First Time in State's History That the Race Has Been Given This Well Earned Recognition. Colored People are Highly Pleased. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. indispensibility and justice will preyail. "And once again, apparently, we are facing an impending war crisis. I hope it may never materialize. I think that it should not. It, I fear, will be one of those winds that will blow nobody good. But if come it must, then my counsel to you, it to still manifest your old time loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. It is not the sight of one man, or race of men, but of American citizens. "Be conditions here as they may, this is our home, the only one we have, (and we have had it as long as any one else, except the Indian,) and it is the only one that we ever will have. We operate in this country nearly one million farms and own one-third of them. Our municipal holdings are immense and our growing commercial interests great. We have an increasing population with illiteracy reduced to 30 per cent, far in advance of most of our immigrant nationalities. Other nations have no civilization to bring to us. Don't Rush into Fight. "I am not advising a rush into conflict, but simply say that, should it come to a show-down, as we have always done, let us, in the dissemination of sentiment or action, be true to our country. In the war of the revolution, the first blood shed, was the life blood of Crispus Attuck, a Negro Gov. Hodges R Bar on C First Time in State's Hi Been Given This Well Colored People a Sometime ago we sounded a note of warning to our people, calling attention to the fact that in order to secure a square deal they must look to the interest of those who respect them and theirs. We want to say that for the first time in the history of Kansas, colored women have been placed in responsible positions as attendants in the state hospitals. Much credit is due Gov. Hadges and the board of control for giving our young women a chance to earn a livelihood as women of other races. THE MISSING MAN This matter was taken up with the Governor several months ago and we thought it no more than right for some members of our race to represent us in these institutions and take care of the colored patients, who will receive better treatment at their hands. The following ladies have been appointed at Osawatomie and if they prove satisfactory, others will be appointed from time to time: Miss Lucile Morgan, Topeka; Mls on Boston Commons, March 5, 1770. Peter Salem, at Bunker Hill, took the life of Major Pitcairn. Five thousand black men fought on the American side in this international struggle. In the war of 1812, at the battle of New Orleans—where seven Americans lost their lives, while 2,000 British were killed, it was a Negro that suggested to General Jackson the idea of fortifying with packs of cotton. In the Civil war, we can not with this limited space, speak of the many times that he saved the day, with more than one hundred thousand enlisted on the Union side. "In the Spanish-American war, he was the real power behind the throne. When the 'Rough Blders' had all but lost the day upon the hill of San Juan, near Santiago de Cuba, it was the black American, always formidable to the foreign foe, that caught 'old glory,' as she began to trail in the dust of retreat, turned the tide of battle, through night and steel, broke the apparent impregnable front of the enemy, overmounted their bulwarks and never stopped until the 'Stars and Stripes' were unfurled from the pinnacle of the 'block house.' "History is simply repeating itself. So let our people prove no exception to the rule. Our work may not be appreciated as it should. Removes Colored Nurses History That the Race Has Earned Recognition. Are Highly Pleased. Nida Franklin, Salina; Miss Lillie Hardwick, Leavenworth. These are the first to pave the way for others to follow. We are under many obligations to Gov. Hodgds for this act and as long as we can find officials who will recognize our race and give them a chance to earn a living and accomplish something as other races, we will support them for any position of honor and trust. The time has now come when the colored voter should support that class of men for office THE NEW YORKER who believe in a square deal. It is no more than right that colored men and women be placed on the payroll of the state. The race is progressig as well as could be expected under such pressure of opposition. We have been informed that the warden and chief nurse of the institution at Osawatomie are excellent people and believe in fair treatment to all and the young ladies are bound to make good. but since God is God and right right, right the day must win." Well Known Worker Among Colored People for Years. Mrs. Waterloo Bullock Snelson, 44 years old, wife of Rev. Floyd G. Snelson, pastor of Mt. Vernon, A. M. E. church, died at noon yesterday, at St. Anthony's Hospital, after an operation. The funeral will be held at St. Paul's A. M. E. church at 10:30 p. m. next Friday, Rev. Ira A. Collins officiating. The body will lie in state from 8 a. m. until 1 p. m. Friday at Mt. Vernon A. M. E. church. Mrs. Snelson, was a native of Atlanta. Ga. She married Rev. Mr. Snelson on Christmas night 1890, and accompanied him in his ministry in Georgia, California, Kansas, Missouri Massachusetts, Bermuda Islands and Columbus. While in the Bernuda Islands she proved to be one of the most able women visitors there and because of her educational attainments was frequently a guest at British social functions. Since coming to Ohio she became identified with numerous forward movements among her people, not only in Columbus but in other cities of the state. Only a week ago Mrs. Snelson was requested to take charge of the women's suffrage movement among the colored women in Ohio, and at the same time was appointed by Governor Cox to represent the state at the national educational congress which will convene in Oklahoma next July. Besides her husband, she is survived by a son, who is editor of the Columbus Independent; three daughters, one a teacher in the Girls' Training School at Dayton, Fla.; another married and living in Pittsburg, and the third a 7-year-old child. The above clipping was mailed to The Plaindealer by Dr. F. G. Snellson, former pastor of St. John A. M. E. church in Topeka, where he and he and his beloved wife have a host of warm friends who mourn with those bereaved. Se was a good conscientious Christian lady, and made friends wherever she went. Peace to her ashes. DOINGS OF OUR PEOPLE EVERY WHERE. John S. Gaines, a noted colored politician, was fatally shot in the back while reporting over the telephone to the police station in Austin, Texas, April 30. A white deputy named George Booth, did the killing, Gaines had gained the enmity of the force on account of the stand he had taken to expose white slavery and prostitution. The eight children of Mrs. Camillo Parados, heretofore known officially as Negroes, were officially declared white, after a long fight in the court of New Orleans. The children are all grown. The first ancestor came to New Orleans in 1786 and married a white woman. He was of latin origin and complexion dark. Mrs. C. R. McDowell of Hannibal, Mo, one of the race's greatest women, and Grand Matron of the Herolines, is now lecturing in the east for the elevation of her sex and race. Mrs. Ida Walker, president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs of Missouri, has launched in St. Joseph, Mo., a paper called the St. Joseph. She is editor and will give the people a good paper. Driving a car of three across the continent in a Chalmas car, is the task of Mark Carnahan, of Los Angeles, Cal., has began. The trip will be taken in easy stages as the party is bent on seeing the country. The success of the trip will be quite an achievement, since trans-continental trips are rare, if they ever have occurred among Negro drivers of automobiles. Mrs. L. Carter of Abula, Colo., was instantly killed May 1, by an automobile. She leaves a husband and two daughters. She was a member of the New Hope Baptist church, to which she was going, to take part in a concert. It is a fine thing the Negro lenders in Kansas City are undertaking in bringing together their various charities in federation. The charities, which they sustain are highly creditable to the energy and self- Price $1 50 Per Year. sacrifice of the colored people themselves. There is very great need for all these institutions. Much of the work they do is preventive, in character. Consider, for instance, the wholesome effect of the domestic science school which Mrs. T. H. W. Williams has instituted in her own home, with the various organizations federated, so they can avoid duplication of effort and co-operate more effectively their efficiency and influence in the community must be greatly increased.—Kansas City Star. The receipts of the Post Office at Mound Bayo, Miss., over which a colored woman presides as postmaster, and which town is an exclusive Negro town, indicates the progress of the town. From March 1913, to March 1913, the receipts were as follows: Money orders issued, $67,776. 22; Fees $530.40; On Postal accounts $2,607.44; Sale of stamps, $3337.51; From Newspapers, $4188; Box rents, $227.50; In the Postal Savings Department certificates to the amount of $342 were issued. The Postoffice receipts of a city or town indicates how live it is. This being accepted as a criterion, the Negro town of Mound Bayou is very much alive. The Standard Life Insurance Co. of Georgia, has added Missouri to the list of states in which they can do business, and like its entrance into Kentucky, and Tennessee, Missouri Negroes have accorded a gratifying welcome by taking out many policies, both of the old line and the industrial class.

On last evening while scores of Negro soldiers were waiting in this city for the dawn of morning, when they too will join their white brother and if need be, lay down their life for the honor of the Stars and Stripes In this dear old state of Kansas, where John Brown so gallant gave his life for the Negro, in this city of Hutchinson, which has just closed a successful revival, proclaiming the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, the hand of discrimination is fast trying to gain a foot hold. A certain colored lady of the city purchased a season ticket to the spring musical festival and on presenting her ticket on the opening night was told that she, on account of her color, could not be seated where the ticket called for although she is a tax payer and knows she was attending a municipal building. It is high time the colored voters and taxpayers get together and awaken to the sense of duty. As truly as there is a just God who rules the universe such conditions cannot be tolerated much longer in America, the home of the free and brave, yes, America, who sends so many missionaries to the foreign fields to civilize and Christianize the heathen, all there is much work to do at home, for charity begins at home and spreads abroad.

The first property owner of land, where now the great city of Chicago stands, was a Negro named Leo McQuinten, who owned 160 of land where is now the corner of Kinzie and Pine streets. This he purchased from the Frech in 1778. So potent a factor has the Negro become in the school of journalism and so envious and jealous of him have the white newspaper men of the South become that they are now running columns of reading matter devoted to Negro correspondence, or "Colored People" Columns recognizing thereby the momentary value of Negro patronage. The dollars which the black man earns are what they are after. If war should be proclaimed against Mexico and the Negro is wanted in the fight, let him be lead by one of his, own color and not by the white man. Let every member be of the Negro race and let it be shown to the Southern fire-enters, who are lynching and defaming the Negro, that he is patriotic and true to a country which is too cowardly to protect him in his civil and political rights. Why doesn't Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Joseph Daniels and others in the South who vote for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment resign and give their services to the administration? Why, they could make no record in the field, side by side with the Negrol No sir, they must remain secure behind the battlements of political power, from whence they can discharge their venomous darts of blighting infamy against an inoffensive colored race. They are wise enough to know they can fire at the Negro, in the presence of a big audience with their mouths, far better than they can shoot bullets on the Mexican border. The Negro is true to his flag, loyal to his country, but he will not longer be oppressed. SPRINGFIELD. MISSOURI The public schools are just now busily engaged in making preparations for their closing exercises.

HE HAS LEFT US. W. T. McKnight is dead. A good man has went from among us. He was an upright, honorable man; a fond and devoted husband; an indulgent father and staunch friend. Truth and honesty were his guiding stars and charity the beacon light of his existence. He has been lifted to a higher and more sublime height; the stone was ready for the building, and by omnipotent hands was floated to its proper adjustment. His defects and imperfections, if any, have been covered by the cassia and mother earth and hidden from the scornful gaze of man, while the nobler man stands before the Great Grand Master amid the sublime glories of that Temple, not built with human hands—immutable and unchangable. Mr. Mc. Knight was in the fifty-fourth year of his life when he died April 29, 1914. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. He was a member and trustee of the Shiloh Baptist church. He was a Knights Templar, and thirty-second 100 MR. W. T. McKNIGHT degree Mason, and belonged to Euclid Lodge, No. 2, A. F. & A. M., Lincoln Chapter No. 2, R. A. M., Cyrene Commandery No. 3, K. T., and Oasis Shrine No. 25. He had held many important offices of trust while with us, and in every instance discharged his duty faithfully. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. C. G. Fishbuck and according to the Masonic rules and regulations, the lodge having control. Intement was in Mount Auburn cemetery and the procession of friends was one of the largest seen here in many days. He has gone to his reward in the great hereafter. So mote it be. LAWRENCE. KANSAS Miss Orah Carter will be among the number who will go to Kansas City May 9th to attend the "Clippers." Miss Birdie Ellis has returned after a few weeks visit in Hutchinson. The Forum was entertained royally Sunday by the Citizens' Forum of Kansas City. Visitors from Topeka and other surrounding towns were present in large numbers to hear the most magnificent program which time and space will not permit us to reproduce. Promptly at 6 o'clock midst the sweet strains of Strode's orchestra playing, "A Perfect Day," the visitors were escorted out of the church to the lovely home of Dr. F. D. G.
