Smith of Hutchinson, Kansas, made his first visit to the city of Cheyenne, and at once entered upon evangelical duties with the Second Baptist church and labored for three weeks, not so much for the conversion of souls as to find the real spiritual condition of the church; as at that time, I regret to say, the church was in a bad condition spiritually. Everybody seemed discouraged, and like a flock of sheep without a shepherd, had gone hither and thither, wandering in darkness and despair. But notwithstanding this deplorable condition, some of the few members imagined they discerned an executive ability in Rev. Smith and tendered him a call to the church by unanimous consent. Rev. Smith seemed the man of the hour, a man who looks on the bright side of life and its affairs with an enthusiastic belief that God will make all things right with those who trust Him, and with this assurance, on the 12th day of July, 1913, Rev. Smith courageously entered upon the arduous task set before him to bring peace and harmony out of confusion among the Baptist family, and while engaged in religious pursuits, his conflicts and hardships have been many, so much so that none but a veteran like Rev. Smith, who has had years of military training in the gallant Tenth U. S. Cavalry, would, under similar circumstances, have adhered to to the voice of the great Captain, "Do as I command you and low, I am with you to the end." Rev. Smith has in every way proved himself a Christian gentleman, a gospel preacher and a unique worker—a pastor in every sense of the word. He is not a tyrant, but is affable in all his dealings with men. Since entering upon the work he has succeeded in getting the church together in one band of fellowship; has restored the church to membership in the Association; has paid off a debt of long standing, and has remodeled and improved the church edifice until now we have as fine church as there is anywhere in these regions of cold and snow. It mattered not what was said to Rev. Smith about his work, he never opened his mouth in reproach, but always gave the impression that he "He was doing a great work for the Master and why worry over worldly TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 5, 1914.

To the Baptist family of the West, Pastors, Missionary Circles and Presidents, Greetings: We address you this annual message. Our Conventional year is nearly to its close when we are all to meet in Muskogee, Okla., on Tuesday morning at 9:30, July 14th, 1914. It is now two months and ten days, then comes the harvest. For your spiritual and temporal bodies, we have praved since the close of our meeting in Topeka last July. We have heard from time to time of the good work that was being done by you and we have greatly rejoiced with you. In this appeal, we ask that you will continue daily in prayer for us, and for the power of the Holy Spirit among the Churches and Circles in the preparation they shall make for the coming together in our great meeting with United Baptist Family in Muskogee, Okla. We ask secondly, that your minds be set upon the great work of Christ through His churches seeking and saving that which was lost. Remembering the work is the Lord's and we are ill partners in the work of salvation among lost and ruined souls. We ask thirdly, that you send your most earnest consecrated workers to this session. Ours, the Missionary Baptist, and the Churches sent and we have therefore established two days. MISSIONS Fourthly, Thursday to be known as Missionary day when every department of our churches are asked to be financially represented with a cash donation. Every cent going exclusively for Missions, Home and Foreign. Hear the great commission, "Preach the gospel to every creature" we want a thousand dollars for missions. Will the pastors lead off with this donation followed by their churches, Presidents and Circles? Brethren, this is asking a very little for the Master's cause. Who will lead off? EDUCATION.

We have students both in Western College, Macon, Mo., and at our National Training School Lincoln Hights, Washington, D. C. We need $1,600 for education.

We shall look for you Tuesday morning, when the Women's Convention will open with Mrs. S. C. Brown, as President. Yours for the extention of the Kingdom. EDUCATION NOTES (From Department of the Interior Bureau of education.) A kindergarten pilgrimage to Japan in 1915, in connection with the Panama-Pacific Exposition, is under consideration by members of the International Kindergarten Union. Telling the people through newspapers and in other ways of the 160 or more species of birds to be found in their home town is the task which the Sioux City Bird Club has set itself. American physicians who think of practicing medicine in Egypt are warned through consular advice that the Khedive's government will henceforth require a license; and licenses will be granted only to graduates of recognized colleges. A Playground Institute has been organized in Cleveland, Ohio, to train workers for the local playgrounds and reception centers. Dr. A. E. Peterson, director of the department of hygiene in the public schools, inaugurated the work. Five in every ten children observed outside of school hours in the average city are loafing—doing nothing at all because, as they say, "There is nothing to do," according to Arthur C. Moses, of the Washington Playground Association. By substituting plenty of good social opportunities at the school and meeting the public half way, the school authorities succeeded in getting the students at the West Chester, Pa., High school to give up voluntarily the secret societies in the school. They believe in "class athletics" at Tacoma, Wash., the kind where all the members of the class take part. For the boys the contest is kicking the football for distance; for girls the event is throwing the basketball for distance. In 113 classes the entire membership with out exception, took part; and even in the upper four grades, where no effort was made to organize all the classes, 65 per cent of the pupils participated. Kindergartens for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the South as one of the agencies for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Richmond, Va., has just opened an experimental kindergarten which has already created such interest among Neuge parents and the school authorities that it is expected that it will soon be made permanent. The Rich- mond kindergaren was opened by the National Kindergarten Association of New York at the request of the Richmond people who knew of the success of the demonstration given among the colored children of Chatta nooga, Tenn., where the local association assumed the care and support of the school on March 1st. Kindergartens for white children in the South have also been inaugurated by the association and later carried on locally. ATCHISON. KANSAS.

If a man or a woman should be styled or called a wicked ingrate for any one thing, it is one who will neglect and shirk paying their honest debts to those who helped them in the time of their distress, by loaning said ones their own hard earnings by their request. Such characters as these have no respect of persons, they will take advantage of the hoary hair and also the babes in the cradle. Rev. T. W. Kidd, formally Presiding Elder of Tulsa District, who has recently been promoted to the Muskogee District, as Presiding Elder, has purchased property in Muskogee and will move next week. Mrs. Kidd has promised that the Plaindealer shall be sent to her new home. All who attended the A. C. E. L. Convention of the N. E. Conference at Wagoner, were well pleased, Rev. J. N. B. Walls, the popular and brained young minister of the A. M. E. church at Bartlesville is the President of this convention. Rev. R. M. Perrin, former pastor of Ward Chapel A. M. E. church of Muskogee, was at the Presiding Elder's Council at Tulsa, made Presiding Elder of Tulsa District. He is a man of good Christian standing and of great brain, which makes him intellectually strong. There is no doubt of his success on the Tulsa District. Miss Bertha Grayson attended the convention at Wagoner, and was elected secretary of the Conference Sunday School Convention, which was organized there. She is a modest beautiful young lady of good standing and her mother before her, Mrs. I. N. Bowers, who is one of the subscribers and admirers of the Plaindealer, is a perfect example to women as a leader and worker in church and fraternal societies. Some few ladies of Bethel A. M. E. church, are preparing to have a fair sometime soon. For the news read The Plaindealer. WINFIELD, KANSAS. Capital and Surplus W. C. ROBINSON, President. R. H.

We have tried for a long time to figure out the position of Editor Arthur Capper of the Daily Capital with reference to the colored people. Mr. Capper is president of the local branch of an organization known as the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, and the object and aim of this organization is for the amelioration of the wrongs against the Negro; to stop segregation and "Jim Crowism" and the like; but Mr. Capper permits the operation of a cafe in connection with his big plant at Eighth and Jackson streets where colored people are "Jim Crowed." During the great times last week, when every courtesy should have been shown to all mankind, old "Jim Crow" flapped his wings in glee every time a black face appeared at this famous Capper, cafe and each and every hungry candidate with a black face was invited to go hungry or depart to the kitchen for a handout, and of course as self-respecting colored man or woman would stoop to this insult, they departed hungry. Mr. Capper is candidate for governor of Kansas and we know that such treatment of colored people as above stated will make many(?) votes for him from colored people. Either Mr. Capper is mistaken in the aim and object of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or he is the wrong man in a righteous cause. Will Mr. Capper explain? A farce trial is being held in Judge Dana's court, Shawnee county, One Luella West is suing Governor Hodges for $230000 for an imaginary wrong, and it seems to us a frame up or a hold up and it does not look good to us. We are at a loss to know why Shawnee county and the great state of Kansas will not pass a law to stop this crackism and stalking in a civilized community, where people are supposed to know right from wrong. The trial is a huge joke and we must say that the American white man displays more foolishness than any other nation on the globe, to proclaim to be the dominant race. We do not think Huerta and his regime would think of attempting such a transaction or allow such to be tried on any of their continents and if such things continue, Kansas will be the laughing stock of the nation. . COFFEYVILLE: KANSAS The reunion has just closed, which was held at the Macedonia Baptist church. An excellent program was rendered each evening and a good crowd was present. Rev. S. R. Wilson, the great Evangelist of Atdmore, Okla., was present and made some plain logical remarks every evening and sang several sweet songs. Rev J. T. Elias of Pittsburg, Kansas, was present on Wednesday evening and gave the history of the Sunday school from the first organizing up to now. Rev. Elias was superintendent of the Sunday school for 15 years, therefore, there is no use to try to speak of Rev. Elias' ability as the number of years speaks for him. Rev. Chas Teal of Independence, Kansas, was also present and Rev. R. R. Cattwright of Parsong, Kansas. Rev. D. R. Liferson, the pastor, seems to enjoy the history of the church given by Prof. J. A. Dodd very much. Mrs. Radding and other members gave brief history of the different auxiliaries of the church. The Flu-De-Lis Art Club met Friday afternoon May 29, at the residence of Mrs. R. A. Patterson. Members responded to roll call with quotations. The afternoon was delightfully spent in fancy needle work. At a late hour a delicious luncheon was served. The club adjourned to meet Friday afternoon, June 5th at the home of Mrs. A. D. Grant. Mrs. J. C. Rogers is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. C Hicks, in Largston, Ohio.

The girls left Saturday morning. Rev. J. S. King, pastor of the Mt. Canaan Baptist church began a series of programs June 7th at his church to last four nights. The programs are to raise money with which to pay off the indebtedness and repair the church. The members and friends are all expected to be present and help in this effort. The I. C. S. Art Club met Wednesday afternoon, May 27, at the residence of Mrs. P. E. Shepherd. The club was called to order by the president, Mrs. J. L. Gilbert. The afternoon was spent in the usual art work and at a late hour a nice repast was served by the hostess and the club adjourned to meet Wednesday, June 3rd, at the residence of Mrs. R. S. Whittaker. Miss Rella Maddox is on the sick list. She has been real sick, but is improving rapidly. Miss Anna Williams of Parsons, Kansas, is in the city visiting with Mrs. C. C. Skinner and sister, Miss Irena Thompson. Mrs. Rose of Nowata, Okla., was in the city visiting a few days last week. The installation held at the Odd Fellows hall by the Knights and daughters of Tabor, was well attended Wednesday evening, May 27. The C. C. band furnished music for the occasion. Rev. H. R. Wilson, of Ardmore, Okla., the great evangelist, preached an excellent sermon Sunday at Macedonia Baptist church. It was a very able discussion and a fair sample of the best there is in the man. Truly he is a great preacher and the people flock to hear him. You that one for The Plaindealer please pay the agent. Just phone 1746 and she is at your service. Mrs. G.

Washington, June 1.—To one who makes a tour of the South to study carefully conditions there, in so far as they have an effect upon the present and future material progress of the Negro race, the fact that the race in he South is very rapidly outstripping the race in the North, educationally as well as industrially and commercially, is most impressive. I have just completed my third trip into the heart of the South as a representative of, and in the interest of the National Negro Business League, the wonderful effective organization Dr. Booxer T. Washington conceived, and organized. On the three trips I covered more than twenty-five thousand miles, visiting isolated farming communities as well as the congested cities. To the close observer, the apparent optimism, in spite of restrictions and discriminations, which prevails among the Negroes of the South, in contradiction to the pessimism, which prevails among the Negroes of the North compels first astonishment and then hope. In every Negro home in the South, in every Negro office or business house one is conscious of the presence of the invisible motto, "Enthusiasm is a commodity here." No one can deny that the Negro in the South is grossly discriminated against, and that he is denied certain citizen rights, but, from all I saw on my trip, these appear to accelerate his advancement rather than retard it. In politics the Negro in the South is practically a nonentity but in the trades and in business he is becoming a great factor. And just in proportion as he increases respect for himself because of his advancement along industrial and commercial lines I found that political restrictions, for him, are becoming less restrictive. For instance in one southern state I met a most enterprising and substantial Negro business man whom the best white citizens urged should become a member of the city council from a ward in which the whites largely out numbered the Negroes. He refused, however, to stand, stating that the office would interfere with his business; could serve to no advantage while it might prove a disadvantage. No white man in that town enjoys higher respect from white men than he, and the judgement of no white man there, in business matters, is more highly respected and followed than this Negro who declined, at the behest of white men, to become a candidate for member of the city council in a southern city where the whites out number the Negroes three to one. On this trip I also learned that the number of Negroes who qualify and vote each year is increasing, and to such an extent that the farmers and supporters of the "grandfather" clause, which permits the white progeny of Confederate soldiers to vote without complying with the literacy test, while denying the same right to Negroes, have begun to realize that the educational qualification is serving as an incentive to education for the Negro and a retardance to what is termed, in the South, as the "poor white" for the reason that the children of the "poor whites" are not educating themselves with the same enthusiasm as is true of the Negroes. I also learned that the whites are not alarmed over the increasing number of Negroes who vote each year, but on the contrary, in many localities, they are encouraging Negroes Larson Bros.

Especially the thrifty business Negroes. When I discussed with southern Negroes their denied participation in political representation in that section they met it with the argument that the northern Negro, even the bellicose variety, are bowing as gracefully to exclusion from office as ever the southern Negro did; that even in the face of the fact that he has a ballot, it is almost as easy-for a camel to go through the eye of a needle as for a Negro, in any northern state, to be elected to office, and that appointments to offices are becoming rarer and rarer every year. When you discuss with the southern Negro he is docile acceptance of segregation, he quickly responds with: "But there is scarcely a theatre, cafe, hostelry or any public place of amusement in the North where the northern Negro may be accommodated without discrimination; that Negroes in Washington accept segregation in the government service docility; that they have heard of none with such an over plus of "manhood" as to resign because of the segregation." And they will even refresh you with the distressing fact that not even a single Negro from the northern states is sent as delegate to the Republican National Conventions. Then they will point to their twenty million acres of land, their banks, their insurance companies, their successful professional men and their twenty thousand business establishments and say: "Finding the political avenue closed to us, we didn't sit down, hold our hands and whine, but we took the two other avenues to success, business and professions, anticipating that some day the other avenue will be reopened to us by virtue of the fact that we have lired the first two avenues with achievements, and when that day arrives we will be better able to shoulder the expense and responsibility that goes with political prominence." The southern Negro is not near so concerned about political equality as he is about catening up with the white man in the trade, commerce and professions. And I found that the southern Negro is really puzzled as to why the northern Negro is so belligerent over the denial of political rights in the South while his (the northern Negro) political prestige is rapidly becoming a dream of yesterday. In short, I found that the southern Negro is not inviting the northern Negro's assistance to solve his political problem, believing that he himself is best prepared to solve it. I am not approving the southern Negro's antipathy to northern Negro interfering with his plans, and am not approving the southern Negro's apparent apathy to political rights and representation. I am simply stating the concrete fact. On this trip I learned for myself, learned by contract with actual care--hundreds of actual cases, that the best white men in the South, as Dr. Washington has frequently advised the North, are helpful to the Negro; that white banks cheerfully extend industrious Negroes a line of credit it is impossible to get in the North; that the white men and women patronize the Negro business man in the South, as freely as whites patronize whites in the North. that Negro skilled labor in the South is in demand while in the North it goes begging. Less and less each year is the southern Negro sending his children to the North for education, and because they have colleges of their own in the South prepared and equipped to give the education desired. Meharry at Nashville, Tenn., is sending out more physicians, dentists and pharmacists than Howard at Washington, and just as well equipped. There are at least 50 schools in the South that equal or surpass Wilberforce, the oldest northern Negro school, in equipment, buildings, numerical size of student body and faculty. If any one doubts the biblical avowal that "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands," he has only to make an investigating tour of the South as I have done, and learn for himself. There is absolutely nothing in which the northern Negro excel's southern brother unless it is in inaction. And I am a northerner, born and bred, who makes this statement. WOMEN! who use T. Z.

Harts of Pasadena, California, who has been touring the South, including Athens, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee, ably addressed the Business League at its regular meeting. His talk of the South was very interesting and he gave a graphic description of the colored man in this country and showed the prejudice he has to undergo from the southern white man and is subjected to the insults and abuse of southern white men that are heaped upon him and he dares not resent them. The colored farmer and the business man as a rule have to do what is commanded of him, whether it suits him or not. He spoke of the moral condition of the schools in the rural districts and some of the cities, which condition is a steach in the nostrils of decent citizens. What colored female teachers are forced to do by white superintendents is a disgrace to civilization and it is almost unbearable to think of the immoral condition that exists in these school districts.

JOHNSON'S BRANCH, 973 Tlemont St., Rozbury Crossing, Mass. announces his candidacy for congressman Fourth district, subject to Republican primaries Aug. 4. 1914 Editorial Observations VOTE FOR Dan Wooley for District Judge, Pittsburg, Crawford county, Kansas. VOTE FOR—Albert Cuthbertson for Sheriff, Girard, Crawford county, Kansas. In our editorial observation of Southern Kansas last week, we forgot to speak of Mr. Albert Cuthbertson one of Crawford county's prosperous farmers, who has announced himself candidate for Sheriff of Crawford county on the Republican ticket. He has lived in Kansas for 32 years, was born in Randolph county, Ill., in 1859. He owns 160 acres of the best farm land in that county. He is an upright, hopest and conscientious gentleman and believes in a fair deal to his fellow men. At Pittsburg we met Mrs. W. M. Oates, who has just opened a first class restaurant and fashionable boarding house on E. 3rd street. She serves first class meals and has first class rooms, in fact first class accommodations in every way. She is a woman that knows how to entertain her guest and make it comfortable for them. Her rates are reasonable. Her daughter, Mar萨illes assists her and is a first class catress and anyone that dires with them once cannot resist returning. The Band was one of the chief attractions in the parade and also at the laying of the cornerstone. The people of Kansas City went wild over Prof. Jackson and his band and will be called upon to dispense music for Kansas City in the future. Presiding Elder J. W. Wilson of the Topeka District announced that Rev. J. T. Smith of Lawrence, Kansas, will hold the District Conference until further notice. All pas- Bell Phone West 486. "Satisfaction or Y F. S.

The people of Kansas City are greatly elated over the visit of their ex-County Attorney and former fellow, townman, Hon. B. S. Smith, now of Minneapolis, Minn. He is one of the foremose men of the race and was a great leader in Kansas politics and done much in elevating members of his race to positions of honor and trust when a citizen of Kansas. He cannot pass up Minnesota avenue without being intercepted by scores of citizens both white and colored, extending him congratulations and wishing him back to the old city on the mouth of the Kaw. They tell him that he is missed very much in their community and they will gladly welcome him back and if he should return he could be elected to any office that he would seek. He owns considerable property in Wyandotte and is improving the same and making the necessary changes while here. He speaks high of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the Northwest and says it is the finest country in the world. The colored man has an equal break and if he can deliver the goods, all the people will combine and give him a whirl forward. He looks prosperous and while the citizens of Kansas would be glad to see him return, they wish him continued success in his new home. It is given out that he was one of the best County Attorneys that Wyandotte county ever had, and he was sa fair and just and treated all alike, and the people that he prosecuted were as proud to see him as were those he defended. A little colored boy was arrested in Topeka this week for taking a purse containing about $60.00. In conversation with the lady from which the purse was stolen, she said that she did not blame the boy after she had investigated, but blamed some of the better class of white people who were giving these large spreads and buying automobiles and had this little boy's mother employed and was not paying her a salary sufficient to make a living for her self and family. The little boy has no father and his mother works hard away from home every day and not only does she have a chance to properly teach her children and raise them, but she cannot supply food for them at the wages she receives and the little fellow had to resort to this as a means of livelihood. It should be the duty of the ministers and Christians to start a campaign on the wealthy class of people who have the poorer class employed at starvation wages. The social survey has demonstrated all of the defects in living in Topeka and many of the citizens should visit this demonstration in the Security building on 7th and Kansas Ave. Instead of helping the poorer class of people it seems that the officers of the law make it their duty to strike them down and hold them down, instead of helping them up and trying to better their condition. Much credit is due Hon. Hugh McFarland, Probate Judge, in the way he is handling the juvenile court. He is the best that ever sat in the court house in this capacity and the social survey association is giving him full credit. He is the right man for the right place and his heart always goes out for the striving youth and he makes it his unbounded duty to better their condition. County Attorney W. L.
