The Biggest and Best Fair in the West Opens in Topeka Sept. 14. Fine Speed Program and Great Stock Show OKLAHOMA "SHOWS" THE BUSINESS LEAGUE! The National Negro Business League Meets for the First in a City and State Where Negroes Have the Business! Dr. Washington, Emmett J. Scott and Charles Stewart Deserve Great, Credit for Bringing a Great League to a Great State. Wp left Topeka August 5 en route to Oklahoma to attend the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, Negro Press Association and also collect a few outstanding subscriptions. of life were stirring and the wheels of progress were sounding the death knell of color prejudice in the world of business. And one thing that can be said of Muskogee that can't be said of any other city in which the League has ever met and that is the Our first stop was Osawatomie and from there on to Paola, Chetopa, Vinita, Claremore, Tulsa, Sapulpa, Okmugan, MtA|Kester, Taft, Boley and Guthrie, Oklahoma, and it is of these places we will speak later, and tell what the race is doing. The National Negro Business League and what it accomplished in Oklahoma is what the people are mostly interested, and we frankly admit that Booker T. Washington did a great thing when he brought the League to Muskogee. Here in the heart of a country where the colored people are doing things, and longed for an opportunity to show the silk sock members of the race that the soil is the rockbone of any people and the foundation upon which rests the wealth of the world, and that what is needed is people with pluck and a little money to come in and assist in building up one of the best wealth producing states in the Union for the Negro people. Here they own and control thousands and thousands of acres of the richest and most fertile land beneath God's footstool. Here you find colored landlords who have both white and black tenants. Here is where the soil is productive; where men grow rich; where the land is not only rich and fertile, but cheap; where colored people own more land than all of the Negroes combined in other states. Muskogee and Oklahoma was the place to bring the tenderfoot and button-hole politician, lodge organizers and church workers. Here is where the Oklahoma boys put one over on the colored people of other states in fine shape. When, it became known that the League was coming, the whole colored population got together for once if they never do so again, to make it a success and they accomplished their aim from every angle. The committee was composed of thrifty, enterprising men and they spared no palas nor money to make it pleasant for the visitors and they did it royally. The whole state deserves great credit along with Muskogee. When Dr. Washington and his League arrived, they found a beautiful city, full of push-Second street north and south elaborately decorated with flags, hunting and streamers stretched across the streets for three blocks with Booker T's picture flaunted to the breeze. A few white people arrived in—had too because the area of the colored man in all walks TOPEKA of life were stirring and the wheels of progress were sounding the death knell of color prejudice in the world of business. And one thing that can be said of Muskogee that can't be said of any other city in which the League has ever met, and that is the colored people control the business of one whole block where they operate large dry goods stores carrying stock valued at from twenty to seventy-five thousand dollars, located in large two and four story buildings—no shacks, but handsome brick fronts. Therefore they could make a showing without having to ask their white neighbors to decorate, but had to in order to not appear small and selfish. The sessions were held in Convention hall, a fine, large, airy building. Several hundred attended the sessions and were benefited by hearing the stories of the ups and downs of successful men and women in their struggle for a foot-hold in this broad land of prejudice and oppression. Among the men that interested us most was Mr. Gordon, the Saint Louis undertaker. He is not only employing a large force in his undertaking business, but organized a company and is operating a steam laundry that employees over forty men and women, and so successful has been the venture that they have been forced to move into larger quarters. And here is the secret of Negro business success—the co-operation of firms, selling stocks and bonds which will give employment to hundreds. There is but little in individual concerns, they die with the owner. Another man that interested us was Lawrence Works, of Oxford, Kansas, a dairyman, who has a herd of good milch cows. He told the people how to succeed and earn money in that line. There are but few colored men engaged in the dairying business on an intensive scale. Another man told the story of his starting on five dollars fifteen years ago in Oklahoma, and now his income is a thousand dollars per month. He owns a solid brick block, which he had the pleasure of seeing, and know that he was telling the truth. There were numerous others who blowed to cool the air and look important. One Oklahomaian said he controlled five thousand acres and owned two thousand of the five. There was eight hundred dollars raised to defray the expenses of the League. This amount was solicited from among the delegates. We are unable to understand just how such an erormoda expense could occur, as it is the duty of the local League and citizens to take care of the Nation's body wherever they consent to entertain them. Each member pays two dollars; life, members twenty. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPT. 4, 1914. J. five dollars. The League is controlled by an executive committee. No one else has anything to say. There are never any motions made, put or asked for. We are unable to see a reason for this unless Dr. Washington thinks the organization has not reached the stage, of self-government. As a whole, the League is O. K., and doing a powerful good for the race, and we are with Mr. Washington and have confidence in his ability, honesty and integrity, and knowing him to be the foremost man in the world on industrial education—no criticism from us is due him if there be any. Thursday was the day set apart for the big parade. Along with thousands of others we expected to see a few old wagons drawn by bony horses or something on the order of the old time minstrels as they paraded in days gone bye. Thousands of people of both races crowded the principal thoroughfares along which the parade was to pass. The white people suspended business to witness this great pageant, and of course the colored people had quit for a week. First came the marshalls of the day handsomely uniformed and mounted on prancing steeds, followed by Langston University band led by Mrs. Breaux, the director, and one of the best musicians is the West and she can play any instrument that will produce music, and Prof. Luman E. Page, president of the school. Then came floats with children beautifully gowned representing the various Sunday schools, churches etc., with 'uniformed members of ladies' organizations. The queen was beautiful and as were also her attendants and all were immaculate' gowned, and received a tremendeous ovation all along the line of march, and following this float came one hundred cowboys and girls' all mounted on the finert and best to be obtained in the way of horseflesh, and we venture the assertion that there was not a saddle in the bunch that cost under thirty dollars and the large sombras, spurs and other paraphernalia that go with a cowboy's rigging was a typical Western picture, and they made the welkin ring with their key-note yell, and put the tenderdot from 'way down East to wondering to what nationality they were. Catt'e labeled from So and So's herd was a thing worth going miles to see. Here the man from Texas and Georgia burked their eyes, as they do well to have one milch cow on the place they work as the Southern wh to man will not allow the Negro to have too many head of stock. Merchants floats dis- playing their wares; farmers floats displaying the great products of their land; with half attention; fruit growers; mechanics floats—black snitch welding iron, making horse shoes and at each ring of the anil sparks of fire were flying on every side. This certainly put the boys to wondering—everybody became enthused, and the vast crowd went wild with joy. Farmers with their riding plows and farming implements of every description were in line; trotting and pacing horses hitched to bikes; high breed imported stallions, fine mares; poultry—in fact stock of all kinds, and too, all this owned by colored people—not hired from livery stables as in most cases when showing off to fool the public. They rode in carriages, buggies, wagons and autos. They marched to the fair grounds where an exhibition of horsemanship was displayed. The cowbays gave an exhibition of rounding up cattle, roping steers and broncho busting. They had trotting and pacing races and showed the Indian pigs his sticks with which they both catch and throw the ball. Dressed in their native attire, their forms were perfect as Ajaxes, whilst four thousand enthuastic colored men, women and children sat in the arena and witnessed the skill of the "braves." Every human was a descendant of Ham even if they did not look the part, the blood was there and they were proud of it too. The sight was one what would cause one to think and reflect. They looked like a people who had spent centuries in luxury and ease, and not knowing, it would be hard to make one believe that they were the descendants of slaves whose freedom was brought about just fifty years ago. The committee rented three new brick building in which to display all the art, science and products of the colored people of the great state of Oklahoma. Here we found colors weighing a pound and a half, peaches eleven inches in circumference and the best to be grown in the way of corn, oats, cotton, and watermelons weighing fifty and sixty pounds The indies department showing art work of all birds was grand, and showed skill, care and taste. The banquet was held Friday evening at Convention hall. Covers were laid for five hundred. Each guest was served with a half spring chicken. The menu was served in five courses. The young and old died to their hearts content, and all enjoyed themselves in the highest. On Saturday morning a special train of five coaches and baggage cars was loaded with visitors bound for Boley, the exclusive Negro town. The train left at 7:30 a.m., arrived in Boley at 2:00 p.m. Boynton, the first stop where Dr. Washington delivered a 20 minutes speech to a crowd of about one thousand people, mostly colored farmers and nearly all of them owned their land. The second stop was Okmulgee, where an hour and fifty minutes was given for a parade and speech. Special autos were at the train with the local committee. The parade was very pretty being made up of floats with children, horseback brigades, etc., headed by a band, they marched to the cold Creek Council building where over three thousand people awaited the coming of the "Great Messiah." Upon his arrival he was given a tremendous ovation. The Mayor of the city took great pride in introducing Dr. Washington and called him one of the foremost men of the country. This town has several wealthy colored people who are progressing, pulling together and making money. This is the place where one colored man owns a whole brick block and several others own handsome brick buildings—two and three stories high. They also have some good dry goods and grocery stores, oil promoters, rich farmers and skilled mechanics all go hand in hand. The Langham University band furnished music for the trip, being the official band of the Negro State League. The next stop was Clareview on the Fort Smith and Gulf. Thirty minutes was spent in this little berg, an exclusive Negro town. Here the visitors met over seven hundred colored farmers, merchants and cowboys. Dr. Washington was presented with some fine specimens of corn, some of the ears being eighteen inches long. He assured them that the farm was the place to grow fat, live long and happy. They cheered him to the echo. The cowboys followed the train, running their "bronks" and giving their time honored yell, and as a large six-shooter could be seen hanging in each holsten, "Mr. Tenderfoot" felt ill at ease, fearing the boys would salute with a volley of shots, and remained urnerved until the train was near Boley, this being the end of the trip. When Boley was called, everybody was ready to see the only real live Negro city in the world. The visitors were met by the local committee and over ten thousand colored people. It seemed that they sprung like magic from out of the earth. A parade was foamed by the official band, followed by farmers and citizens and business men who marched to the park, where Mr. Washington made a convincing argument for better homes, better improved farms. He congratulated the people on having the courage to build for themselves a city controlled and officered by their own race. Boley has a population of over three thousand and all of the surrounding country for eight miles around are located colored farmers. Boley is a live, wideawake city. They have one bank and ample room for another, a Masonic Temple and large, well stocked stores of every variety. They also have a splendid electric light plant, and some large cotton gins. The baggage agent and telegraph operator and station agent are colored as is also the people who handle the telephone exchange. This is the place for the colored man who wants to make money at farming or in the mercantile or banking business. Colored cotton buyers have been busy during the past week and over five hundred thousand dollars worth of cotton was bought in Boley last year. The train returned to Muskogee at 7:30 with everybody feeling amply rewarded for their trip, and upon arriving at their homes would tell their neighbors that Boley is the only real town on the map and that they should go to Boley or some part of Oklahoma where the colored people are doing something. All of Northern and Eastern and Eastern Oklahoma is just like Missouri except the Jim Crow car law. The Grandfather Cause will soon be a dead letter. In this great state the Negro will prosper. Let the colored people of Texas, Georgia, Alabama and other Southern states who want to enjoy real happiness and at the same time grow independent, they should roll out and move to Oklahoma. Truly, Dr. Washington, Emmett, J. Scott and Hon. Charles Stywart, who noted newspaper correspondent, did Price $1.50 Per Year. Great Stock Show to Oklahoma, and Oklahoma has produced the goods and showed them more than any state in which the League has ever met. MASONS AT PITTSBURG!

Williams; on behalf of local lodge, M. R. Dismukes; responsee, Dr. J. G. N. Soanes and Prof. J. P. King. The city was turned over to the craft to enjoy themselves and be at home with the good citizens of Pittsburgh. Grand Master Hawkins was congratulated by representatives on all sides on his recovery from typhoid fever. His presence was an agreeable surprise to many for he was a very sick man, and all were delighted to have him on hand to preside. His official acts and recommendations were endorsed and put into law. More than five thousand dollars was raised during the past year and all claims have been paid. So well pleased were the representatives over the good work being done by the Grand Master that he was reelected for the third time by acclamation. So great is their confidence in his ability to keep the craft afloat on the sea of success that they refused to sell the Masonic home, an 80-acre tract located in Leavenworth county near Tonganoxie. A message came from Horton announcing the death of Mr. John B. Fleming of Justice Lodge No. 75 of Horton. He was also a past officer of Prince Hall Grand Lodge. 'Resolution of condolence was passed and wired to the bereaved family together with a request that the remains be held until the Grand Lodge adjourned but it was impossible to grant the request. The Grand Master then ordered Deputy Grand Master Peak, of Mount Moriah Lodge No. 5, Topeka and Master Mason Howard to proceed to Horton at once and assist in conducting the remains to the last resting place.' A beautiful wreath of flowers in which was woven an emblem of Masonry was ordered and sert as a token of the esteem in which, he, was held by the craft. Mr. Fleming never missed a session of the Grand Lodge and was always sought to harmonize and adjust dif- We Are Interested in Beauty Everywhere. Majors' Oxford College of Hair Culture 4246 W.

Johns is captain of club No. 2. Because Mexicans are all-favored in Typhae is no reason why they should be murdered on any pretext. The one murdered Sunday night was killed for mere sport on the part of the police, because they knew they would not be punished. The rank story of the holdup, Sunday night equals the May Turner tale of a few weeks ago. The whole thing is so rotten that the police department ought to buy a medal for this "ink" as the champion bar of the world. Even if the tale were true, the man ought to have ten years at hard labor for being such an infernal coward. The new Pope has now been elected at Rome and will rule under the name of Benedicta XV and we hope he will continue the good work of seeing justice given out as it has been during the last two administrations. One thing can be truthfully said and that is, the Catholics of the United States have done more to break down race prejudice than any other denomination in the country. The opening of hostilities among the great European powers for a time pailed the Mexican situation into insignificance, but General Funston seems to have awakened to a realization that the United States has yet a duty to perform in Mexico and men, guns and bullets are necessary, to carry out that performance. Funston can't stand quietness and therefore ought to go East and get on the firing line. We are proud to note the fact that Governor Blease of South Carolina has been defeated for the Senate. The sooner such men are gone, the better it will be for all races. There is one good thing we can say for Blease and that is he is turning the prisoners out of the penitentiary, of which the majority are colored, sent there for more trivial offenses. Now you must understand that he did not love the colored people to this extent, but is doing it for spite of some of his own people. The East Side citizens have made up their minds that they want a city commissioner, who is free from political promises—free to do the bidding of a clear conscience in the discharge of his duties, and they have literally crafted Mr. G. E. Burnem as a candidate for that position at the coming spring election. If the citizens in general would act likewise in the selection, or candidates for office, political activities would be purified and the habit of men selecting themselves as candidates would cease and then in fact the people would rule. Colored people should be thankful to W. J. Stokes of Great Bend, Kan., for the interest shown, to the colored order of the Eastern Star, which convened in that city. Judge Banta, of the District Court had a lock put on the door of the court room, where these meeting were held. Certainly it threw consternation on the ranks of the local committee, of which, we are not much surprised, for there are several white men just like him, who do not respect the rights of the colored people. Had Judge Banta wanted to do the right thing, he would not have waited until the last minute, but would have given them ample time to find a place. Now Banta poses as a Republican, and Mr. Stokes is a democrat. I will say from now on that colored people should vote for the man and not the party at election. Such men as Mr. W. E. Stokes are good men in any party. Banta has been hoodwinking the colored people for years and I do hope, that at last their eyes are open. Such persons as he will meet their "Waterloo" yet. All sorts of excuses are being advanced as to the cause of the great ailment of human beings in Europe, but the real cause is a lack of civilization. For years and years the white race has boasted of its civilization and has spent its millions in an attempt to instill its brand of civilization into the hearts of those classed by it as heathen. At the same time that there attempts have been in progress, all the different branches of this same white race have been buoyly engaged in the construction, of the implements of war that one branch might show superiority in barbarism over the balance of the world. During the several years past, The Hague Trial has been in operation for the settlement of great disputes of an international character, but in the present conflict, grazed for gold and empire, so overshadowed the spark of real dissatisfaction that hardly warranted that all the great European powers plunged into war and darkness without in thought of The Hague. Norly, the prophecies of the Bjbh are being fulfilled: "They shall cry 'for peace, but there shall be no peace.' Murder, raphe and pillage reign supreme. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. One of the greatest acts of Christianity was that of Rev. Rameon and the members of the 8th St. A. M. E. church, when they gave their Second Annual Dinner and meeting for all old people of the city, regardless of sect or creed, on Sunday, Aug. 20, of their church. In the morning the pastor preached a special sermon for the aged. Immediately after that service, dinner was served to the oldest first then to those not so old and to visitors afterward. The menu consisted of chicken, mashed potatoes, other vegetables, brown and white bread, pies, jellies, fine assorted cakes, tea, ice cream and coffee in abundance. About 100 guests were served and basketfuls were left. At 2 P. M., a speaking meeting was held, at which the oldest speaker was a gentleman, 98 years old. Father Hancock, age 93 was the next oldest. Some had been working in God's vineyard 70 and 80 years. The Holy Spirit was certainly present at those meetings. Mesdames Queenie, Acres, Elam, Llye, Woodfork, Collins' Banks and others made an excellent reception committee. Drs. Thompson Hayden and Mr. J. W. Jones brought the older ones in their automobiles. Some of the visitors served were: Mrs. Norman of Topeka, Mesdames Burnette, Payne and Palmer. Some of those, some younger were: Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Mesdames Wilson, Lyons and P. McDowell. God bless this pastor and this church. Mrs. Rogan at 936 Washington Blvd. is sick.

Hawkins, one of Kansas' most scholarly and brilliant Masons, was elected Grand Master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Kansas for the third time, and he well deserves the same. Mr. Hawkins is one of the best executives that ever presided over that Grand Body. While he is impartial and conservative, yet he is firm and commends the respect and esteem of the brethren. His business-like methods and honesty served as sample recommendation for his re-election. In appreciation of his excellent service the Grad Lodge voted to send him as their representative to Detroit, Mich., at the semicertainly celebration of the Masons of that state. Prof. Hawkins is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal. He is an eloquent speaker, and this added to his ready wit, makes him popular with any audience. Among the many good things that the Fort Scott Daily Tribune has to say of him is this: "Prof. E. J. Hawkins is not only highly respected in his own community but throughout the state and is destined to win national reputation." The thirty-ninth annual session of Prirce, Hall Grand Lodge was one of the most harmonious in the history of the organization. HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 4.

Negro Speaker Tells People of Race Not to Be Too Particular About Their Rights. The following article appeared in the Dallas Morning News; The principal address to the Zion Rest Negro Baptist Association, now in session at the Mount Moriah Baptist church here, was delivered yesterday afternoon by Dr. L. L. Campbell, Austin. Dr. Campbell is president of the Negro Baptist State Convention of Texas and is the recognized leader of more than 209,000 Negro Christians. "The most miserable man on earth is the Negro who is always complaining and fussing with God because God made him black," said Dr. Campbell, "the good tenant is worth more to the race than all the speechmakers the race has produced. A landlord will do anything on earth for a good tenant. A good tenant is a valuable asset to any community and a white man will raise a fuss about him. Where there are good tenants the chicken houses are less likely to be invaded.
