E TOTPEKA PLAIN DEALER 1. Made Good. (By A. D. GRIFFIN.) For the first time in the history of Kansas, the colored nurses and attendants have been given an opportunity to make good in the state institutions. Here is an avenue that has been closed against the girls of the Negro race, since the founding of these institutions. Kansas has always been styled the "land of the free and home of the brave," but great care and palms have always been taken to guard the doors of class institutions, against the daughters of a class of citizens, who have proven their loyalty in conflict and in peace. However, the year 1914, marked the dawning of a new era. A brave manly man—one who believes in giving each and all a chance in the race of life, is steering the ship of state. And when the institution of Governor Gate H. Hodges was directed to this task by the commissioners, he immediately took the matter up with the men in charge of these institutions, and in less than a month's time colored nurses and attendants were placed on trial at the State Hospital in Osawatomie, and to use the language of the Governor, and the members of the state board of control, "they have made good," in every respect despite the fact that there were many so-called friends of the race, who predicted failure. The young ladies at Osawatomie come from the best families in the state, and with the exception of one, all are graduates of the leading schools of nurse training, and each a graduate of some High School or college. They are the highest type of womanhood, love their chosen profession, and take pride in seeing how well they can perform, even the little things. The following are the names of the young ladies, who are raising the standard of Negro worth in Kansas, and at the same time, tenderly caring for the state's unfortunates. They are kind hearted, Christian ladies and worthy of any trust that may be bestowed upon them: Miss Lillian Hardwick, Leavenworth; Miss Lucile Morgan, Topeka; Miss Loora Hines, Lawrence; Miss Franklin, Salina; Miss Cleo Gefaldyne Morgan, Topeka. In an interview with Governor Hodges, when asked as to how his experiment with the colored attend- ants at Osawatomie, among some of the things he said: "It's no longer an experiment. They have made good, and the Superintendent is highly pleased with their service, and I feel proud to have been able to thus, assist a struggling people. They are citizens and contribute to the state's tax fund, and I believe they should be given an equal opportunity along with other citizens of the state." The above manly statement has always been Governor Hodgson watchword. Before he ever dreamed of entering the political arena, all men looked alike to him—white or black, prince, or pauper, moral worth and true manhood was always recognized above all things, and if a colored man was capable, clean, upright and honorable, he could always find the door of hope ajar, when he applied to Geo. H. Hodgson, and a willing hand to reach down and pull him up. He comes from a broad, liberal minded family; a people whose religion centers on the uplift of the meek and lowly at our own doors. Governor Hodgman fair manly dealing with his fellowman is the key to his phenomenal success in life. He is one of the most thorough business man in the West, even in politics, he plays the game on a square business bar, giving every one an equal break. He loves Kansas and her people, and his every move has been in a direction to bring happiness, and prosperity into each and every house. Governor Hodges is the most ardent and earnest worker in the state. He never leaves things to the other fellow, but goes in person and sees that every detail is properly executed. The colored citizens feel grateful to Governor Hodges for opening avenues to them that have been unjustly closed. The struggling fathers and mothers who have dug and tolled to educate their daughters, for the first time in the state's history, realized that their labor has not been in vain, and the action of Governor Hodges in swinging the door of hope outward to the Negro youth is hailed with great joy, and will serve as an inspiration to spur them on to higher things and make them become more useful citizens. Yes, the colored people are grateful to Governor Hodges, and when an opportunity presents itself, the fair minded, thinking men and women of the race are going to prove their gratitude in a more substantial way. BROWN'AND ROSS. Two Popular Topeka Ministers the People Want Returned to Topeka Have Done Splendid Work. Rev, J. M. Brown, pastor of Saint John A, M. E. church, has just closed one of the best years' work in the history of the church. He is a live, wide awake young man—full of get-up-and-get, and he went right after things from the first day he landed in the city and has been a very busy man from that time on. The church is heavily in debt, and by his tact and good business methods, he has almost cancelled the debt and of given the opportunity he so gently deserves, he will not, only pay out the coming year, but will complete the erection of the building. Rev. Brown is one of the best liked ministers in the city, and his congregation and numerous friends among both races will be sorely disappointed if the conference falls to send him back so that he can complete the excellent work he has begun. Rev. B. R. Ross, pastor of Brown's chapel, A. M. E. church, is a good plain, common sense minister and a good business man and financier. He is a conscientious Christian and a more faithful worker never served a congregation. + The people of the East side, which comprise his congregation are enthusiastic in their demand that he be returned to them for another year. He has done more good hard work and made a better showing than any pastor they ever had. The church has put on a new addition and underwent a general overauling, for which they do not owe a dollar. Rev. Ross is a worker in every department of the church as his fine report will show when presented at the annual conference which convenes in Attleison Wednesday. The Plaindealer, admired man of Rev. Ross' type, and if, Bishop Parks returns him to Topaka it will be highly gratifying to the citizens and friends of Brown's chapel. A. P. TONE WILSON LANDS GOOD JOB Bright Young Topeka Newspaper Man and Able Lawyer Will Be at Head of U. S. Land Office in Topeka—A Word About Some of His Excellent Printing Force. Today's dispatch is from Washington, D. C., benna the glad tidings that Honorable A. P. Tone Wilson Jr., the well-known editor of the X-Rays Democrat and a leading attorney had been made register of the U. S. land office at Topeka. A more worthy appointment could not have been made by the Democratic party, and it meets the hearty approbation PETER H. HON. A. P. TONE WILSON, Jr. of the leading business and professional men of the city and state. He is a tireless worker for the cause of Democracy and it is but just and fair that the pie be passed to Tone. He is a fine old boy and will make good. The PlaindSaler extends corgdatulations. MISS BESSIE CAVE. the highly accomplished forelady of the X-Rays Democrat, is one of the best all-around printers in the state, and easily out-classes any of her sex in this part of the country. As a job artist, her work will stand up anywhere, and the well made-up pages of the X-Rays show the still pad taste of a working, that is up Negro Progress In Oklahoma In our trip to Oklahoma we stopped at Osawatomie, Kau., and visited the State Hospital. Here we found four young-colored lady attendants. For the first time in the history of the state, colored girls have been employed in such institutions. They have made good and the Superintendent speaks highly of them. Governor Hedges and the board deserve great credit for giving these girls an opportunity to put their education into practice and to develop their ability. We hope other institutions of the state will follow suit and give employment to other mobsters of the race. Our next stop was at Paola. We had the pleasure of dining with our friend, Mr. Robert M. Sheby, who is employed by the Paola Milling Co. He is grain buyer and manager and one of the staunchest business men of the city. He enjoys the company of a beautiful wife, whom he recently married. She was formerly Miss Verta B. Gatewood, of Carbendale, Ill., and one of the leading young ladies of the state. They are now enjoying their honeymoon. We found our old friend, Robert does the printer's trade. Enterprising young printer could oily ```markdown ``` induce Migs Cave to say, "yes," their fame and fortune would begin then and there. PABLO R. DIAZ. an educated young Mexican, is pressman at the X-Rays, and to put it correct, he is there with the goods. He understands every detail of the work, and a peep a the fine specimens, of high-class jobs executed by him in that office will readily convince the most skeptical that none of the boys has anything on him. He is polished, cultured and refired, speaks and writes excellent English, and is well posted upon almost any subject one cares to discuss. He is one of the best Spanish interpretators in the country, and scarcely a day passes without his being called to assist 1930 some lawyer on judge. Mr. Dlax is a blessing to his people, and is very active in seeing that they are treated fairly. We predict a bright future in the coming man. His government Allen, the barber, who is still progressing. He has recently purchased a sixty-horse power automobile and has employed a chauffeur and has all the work he can do in the livery business. Mr. Allen is one of the most progressive citizens in Kansas and also owns a first-class pool and billiard parlor. He was married July 1st to Miss Ollie Emmons, one of Paola's leading and most industrious young ladies. Mr. Allen is a man who is doing much to build up the race. Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Davies are doing a great work in Paola and report a fine crop and have hundreds of fine chickens. They are among Paola's most progressive citizens. AT PARSONS we stopped a few hours and met Mrs. N. C. Blair. She is putting out a new hair ointment and preparing for an extensive manufacture of the same. It is known as the Twentieth Century Hair Grower and she is establishing agencies all over the country. CHETOPA. Here we found two young men engaged in the restaurant and confectionery business and doing fine. Chetopa is a fine little town and there is a fine class of industrious colored people and a fine class of white citizens. They are getting along nicely and seen to be following the Golden Rule. Most of the colored people have nice homes and little gardens and plenty of chickens and are not strained up to live. It is a pleasure to visit such towns and see the people getting along so well. Mr. H. P. Bassett, who conducts a nice restaurant and confectionery store is doing fine. He has a wife and five children and owns one of the finest homes in the town. He has a fine garden, cows and chickens. Mr. W. H. Morgan, who settled in the town in 1891 runs a nice grocery and confectionary store and is doing a good business. He is one of the officers of Pristine Hall Granl Lodge, A. F. & A. M. He is sober, upright and honest and is rapidly making his way to the front. Chettops can boast of having some beautiful women, as well as industrious and intelligent. Among them is the widow, Mrs. Victoria Edmonds, who owns some good property. Her husband for many years was a clerk and manager in one of the largest dry goods stores in that section of the state. Now, here is an opportunity for some good man to use his good offices. Her daughter, Mrs. Helen Smith, is our correspondent, and is a bright and intelligent young lady. Her husband, Mr. U. G. Smith is one of the leading young men of that section of the country. IN OKLAHOMA. Vinita is the home of a number of progressive colored people. They own nice homes and good farm land. We met Mr. G. D. Martin, of Blue-jacket, who owns a section of land and is doing fine. He has a white neighbor near him who has a fine farm that he will sell to colored people, at a bargain. Some one wishing a fine location at a bargain, should address him at this place. We stopped at the Rider Hotel and must say that Mrs. Rider is one of the finest cooks in the country and also an excellent hotel proprietress. Mr. Rider is farming on an extensive scale. Our old friend, Mr Henry, who had been employed at the Cobb Hotel for a number of years, is doing fine and is numbered among the town's most progressive citizens. He is a great church worker and has a host of friends and owns some very good property. His wife, who died a few months ago, was one of the leading church workers of the state and from an intellectual standpoint had but few equals. We met Mr. Willis Williams, a former Kansas boy, who at one time resided in Iola, and foreman of section 61 on the M. K. & T., and has been working for the "Katy" company for twenty-five years. He works seven men and is an experienced trackman. He enjoys the company of a beautiful and industrious wife and a son, who is destined to become one of the leading young men of the race. They live on the section and board the men employed in the work. They are enjoying life, and saving money for a happy day. He is a member of the Knights of Pythia lodge and a member and a fine home. The Plaindealer j man of section No. 60 and has been a section foreman for 92 years. He received the premium of $250 for having the best option in 1918 known as the Observer Section. Mr. Venters has made good use of his earnings in thirty-two years, and gives a two story brick building, a nice residence and other property. He has houses for rent and an interest in a grocery store. He is fifty-three years of age and was born in Grimes County, Texas. He is a representative man and doing much for the up-building of his race. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Wesson are among the substantial residents of the town and are engaged in the cleaning and pressing business, as a source of pleasure to visiting the home of the Wessons and they always make it pleasant for you. They are among the progressive people of the state. Mr. Phillip Rickott, formerly of Topoka, and his excellent wife, who still conducting a confectionary store, Mr. Rickott, is in very poor health and very little hope is held out for his recovery. This is a health report and hundreds of people come here every year for the benefit of their falling health.

It is a beautiful little city and the colored people seem to be doing very well, but could do a great deal better if they would put forth a little more effort. Mrs. Lucy Swift, the hairdresser and manicurist, is doing fine. She represents The Topeka Plaindealer and travels extensively. Dr. William Lee, the physician, is enjoying a fine practice. He is from the University of West Tennessee and has practiced in the territory for several years; owns some very fine property and is one of the leading physicians. Mr. John A. Lewis conducts a Porters' and Walters' headquarters pool and cigar stand. He formerly lived in Kansas City and is one of the safeguard" among the reliable waiters of Kansas City. His wife, whom he took there for the purpose of caring a cancer, has been restored to health by private treatment. Mr. Lewis is doing well and saving money for a rainy day. Mrs. Amand Edwards conducts a fine restaurant and lunch county and is doing a good business and hair prices are very reasonable. Everyone who comes to Clarence, calls for the Cobb Hotel and Bath House. Mr. E. A. Watson has been engaged in the cleaning business for fourteen and says his only trouble making competent help.

Wilson, and he has more than made good. He is one of those plain, upright clean men; well educated and is not only a good speaker, but a splendid business man and financier, a quality that is lacking in many of our ministers. As soon as Rev. Smith was appointed he got busy and has never rested upon his arms since, and though he has had but a short time to familiarize himself with the work and put his plans into operation, he has made many important changes that are a great benefit to the district. The Plaindealer believes that the mantle of the late J. W. Wilson has fallen upon the shoulders of the right man, and the Bishop will show wisdom in retaining him as presiding elder. The people of the district like Rev. Smith and the work will grow and proceper under his guidance. Miss Charlotte Mae Hall, book-keeper at the Harris Laudry is on the sick list. Her place is being ably filled by her sister, Miss Beryl Hall. Mr. George W.

Pastor Brown praised at 11:00 a.m. upon "The Need of a Pure Moral and Religious Atmosphere." It is needless to say that it was interesting, and all went away with better purpose of heart to do their part in helping to bring about pleasanter environments in every way. The Sunday school and Endeavor services were very well attended for a rainy day. The Endeavor was ably conducted by the president, Mr. Chas. Brown. Sunday will be the last, previous to the setting of the annual conference, which convenes in Cnmpbell chapel, Atchison next Wednesday morning, with Bishop Parks, D. D., presiding. The year has been a splendid one for Saint John, and it is to be truly hoped that no able member will allow the pastor to go away, without his dollar money. Sunday at 11:00 a. m., Rev. Brown will deliver his last sermon, followed with short addresses and special program in the evening. St. John will be host to the many Topeka friends at Prof. and Mrs. Roundtree's, 1317 VanBuren street from 2:30 to 11:00 p. m., Monday, Sept. 21, in honor of Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Brown. Rev. B. F.

The Epworth League is the reaul of the consideration of five origina societies, organized among the young people of our church, of which the Young People’s Methodist Alliance, organised at the Desplaines Camy ground near Chicago, Aug. 25, 1883, was the oldest. The others were the Oxford League, the Young People’s Christian League, the Methodist Young People's Union and the Young Peopte's Methodist’ Episcopal Al- liance ‘The representatives of these 20- cities met tha Central Methodist tow called Epworth church, and af- ter a memorable season, organized | the Epwofth League, May 15, 1889. The name Epworth was chosen be- cause John Wesley was born and | reared in the town of Epworth, Eng- land. There his father was rector of the Epworth church and his moth- er presided over the large family in the Episcopal rectory. The colors of Epworth League adopted at this meeting—white ribbon with a scar: let thread through the center—had been the badge of the Young Peo- ple's Methodist Alliance, The official badge is the Maltese Crose, with the initials and motto of the League. This cross had been the badge cf both the Oxford League and the Young People’s Christian League. Our motto, “Look Up, Lift Up,” had been the motto of the Young People's Christian League.

Mrs. Cooper of Eufala re The host homes of the city were thrown open to the delegates who were fed and cared for absolutely free of charge. impartial manner. There were many important papers and discussions on the same all of which were well rendered and enthusiastically received. The subjects which received most attention were, "Mother and Home," in various phases, showing that our women are thoroughly awake to the fact that the race can rise no higher than its home. The devotional services established beyond doubt that our Federation is made up of earnest intelligent, Christian women. The paper that received the greatest commendation was presented by Mrs. E. S. Whitby, of Oklahoma City. Her subject has intrinsic interesting, being "What Afro-American Women Have Contributed to Literature and Art." Beginning with spontaneous outbursts of poetry and song while yet in bondage, she step by step showed development of Negro women along these lines from Phyllis Wheatley to the literary stars of our own time. After reading this paper, a resolution was adopted offering a prize of five dollars each year for the best literary production by a Negro woman. The musical numbers were good and heartily received. The selection by Mrs. Slaughter and by a little girl of El Reno deserve special mention. There was absolute harmony and abundance of enthusiasm throughout the session. On Friday Mrs. Jacobson, who is permanent chairman of the legislative committee, presented practical plans for securing a state training school for delinquent boys and girls.

Mr. Williams, one of the progressive colored men is building a moving picture play house at a cost of several hundred dollars. All of the colored people on Greenwood street are making great improvements; several large buildings have been erected in the past year. Mr. Williams also runs a large garage and employs several colored men who care for and repair automobiles. Mr. O. W. Girley conducts a grocery store and is one of Tulsa's suburban citizens. Our old friend, Mr. A. J. Smitherman, editor of the Tulsa Star, and president of the Western Negro Press Association is doing fine and building up a great paper. Tulsa boasts of several lawyers, doctors and mechanics and all are doing fine. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, a Kansas boy, is doing fine and enjoying a lucrative practice. He is a graduate of the University of Kansas and taught school three years at Oswego and Baxter Springs, after which he graduated from the law department of that school in 1904 and began to practice law. He was for a time principal of the Phillips school in Kansas City and opened a law office there. He married Miss Mary Carr, of Gamesville, Texas, and domestic science teacher at Guthrie. She is one of the leading teachers of Tulsa and a highly cultured young lady. They have an adopted daughter, and own a fine home. Two stories and modern in every way. He has the confidence and respect of both the whites and colored people of the city. While in the city we had the pleasure of meting our old friend, Mr. F. McDaniel, one of the greatest railroad contractors in the country. We visited his rock crushing plant of which he is in absolute control. We will describe this great works at som future date along with a history of Mr. McDaniel's interesting career. SAPULPA. This is the first time we ever stopped at Sopulpa and was very much delighted. We had some fear of stopping this time, as some of the colored people told us that a co'ored man had killed a white man and there was strong talk of pulling off a lynching, but however, we felt that we had a right to go wherever we choose so we nerved up and tried them a whirl, and upon our arrival we found that it was only talk, that both parties concerned were of low strata and the respectable white and colored people were living in peace and harmony. Mr. H. T. Hutton is one of the members of the firm known as Hutton & Yates and they conduct one of the largest stores in Sapulpa and are doing a business amounting to several thousand dollars a year. Mr Hutton is a great lodge man—an Odd Fellow, K. of F., and organizer of the Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World. Of this organization he is secretary and treasurer. The order is growing and Mr. Hutton is a tireless and energetic worker. He is a bachelor and there would be no harm if some capable and efficient young lady would put a stumbling block in his pathway. Sapulpa boasts of a colored lady physician, Dr. McCoy Johnson, of Nashville, Tenn. We also met Dr. W. B. Humphrey, a graduate of Meharry. He is a Minnissippian by birth and is enjoying a large practice among both white and colored. He owns good property, and is married to one of the popular teachers of the city. He is saving money and building up an invidia reputation. OKMULGEE was our next stop. This is where the colored people are putting on foot a progressive movement and erecting several brick buildings and prospecting for oil. We met our old friend, Mr. J. H. Williams, who is conducting a nice restaurant, across from the Frisco Depot and his city of the substantial residents of the town. He is honest, upright and highly respected. He has given away a fortune by trusting people in his business and still has enough to live the rest of his life. We met several wealthy farmers. C. Ward J. H. living happy and smiling under his large shape trees, surrounded with waving fields of wheat and hundreds of acres of snowy cotton. He has a wife and four children. Mr. C. Ward is doing fine on a nice 80-acre farm. He has a wife and three children, is a young man designed to become one of the largest farmers of that vicinity. Mr. H. W. Jackson is a man who has grown famous in Okmulgee, popping here about six years ago, with about $5 in his pocket and now owns a fine brick building, pool hall and a grocery store. He has a splendid proposition for someone who desires to go into the grocery business. Write him at 613 E. 5th street, Okmulgee, Okla. We meet Mr. Thomas Yarabough, who owns 120 acres of land three miles south of the city. He has a wife and several children and is one of the best citizens in the county and has a host of friends. We had the pleasure to dining with one of the largest contractors of the town and will give a full write up later. BOYNTON. Here we met Dr. Penny, who is enjoying a fine practice. He has a fine baby, who is with his mother on a visit to Enid. The Doctor is all covered with smiles and says he can now practice medicine with much more ease. Mr. Monsieur Cotton is one of the leading merchants of the town and is also engaged in the real estate business. His property amounts to several thousand dollars. He is a progressive citizen and is doing much for racial uplift. Mr. J. S. Seals conducts a fine restaurant and cafe. The colored people own several thousand acres of land in a radius of seven or eight miles around Boynton. Mr. William Burton conducts a livery and sale stable and does a big business in the town.. He was formerly a railroad contractor. We met Mrs. Lela Caldwell, formerly Miss Langston, who has three fine children and living on a farm and doing well. We met Mr. Charles T. Walker, who owns 160 acres of land and has lots of cows, hogs and horses. This young man can write a check for honored at the bank. several hundred dollars that will be SOUTH MALESTER. Here we met Mr. Lester Beck and his mother. He is engaged in the garage business and is a first-class machinist and is rapidly coming to the front. We met Mr. O. L. Cochran, one of the most substantial men of the town and special messenger at the post-office, which position he has held for four years. He is an honest, upright Christian gentleman and one of the leading Masors of the state. He is fighting graft wherever it appears and has a host of stalwart friends backing him. His wife is a great lodge woman and one of the leaders of her sex in the state and is doing much good for womankind. Mr. W. R. Robinson, the merchant, is doing a fine business and has resided in the town several years. TAFT Is an exclusive Negro town, and they own several hundred acres of good land. We met Mr. Charles Ezell, who owns a fire residence overlooking the city. He is a merchant and operates two'or three stores. Rev. Lagrore, who has the scavenger contract of the city, has a nice home and owns a cotton gin at Clear view and is one of the most substantial citizens of the town AT MUSKOGEE we were surprised to find that the President had appointed as postmaster, a half breed Indian, who since holding this position has learned to differentiate between the white and colored patrons. When we approached his sanctorium, the moment we entered the door, we were ordered in a loud tore of voice to remove our hats, and were given to understand by this blanketed halfbreed that he required the colored people to lift their hats when they approached him. We inquired if the government required him to make a difference between the white and colored, and why the colored people were required to approach him with bared heads, and he growled in very poorly mixed up English that it was his custom. We tod him he should be taking off his hat to us as he begged for the job and was our servant—a servant of the people and that he was not their boss. This aroused all the savage blood of his tribe, but however, it was up to him and he had to swallow it. We think this class of people should be taught a lesson and when the matter is reported to Senator Owens he should take a cut and teach him how to run the office and a servant of the people and not their boss, and it will go a long way to working Muskogee a first-class given him a position and he wears a Walenstein suit. We shall take the gentleman's (?) case up with the government and let them know of the actions of this man, who links he owns the postoffice and all of the people's that have occasion to visit it! We met our friend Warrior Rentle, Jr., and had the pleasure of dining with him and his wife at their beautiful home at 629 Market street. At Boynton, Mr. Rentle owns a large farm and city property and is rapidly forging to the front. We met our old friend, H. O. Johnson, formerly of Topeka, who conducts a grocery store and is doing fine. Rev. I Rentle has gathered over 6000 bushels of peaches and finds a ready market for them. He controls several hundred acres of land. Dr. R. T. Thurman, 581 N. 31 street, is a fine gentleman, owns a nice home and is one of the progressive citizeen. Dr. Thurman and wife and Mr. Nickens and wife deserve great credit for opening one of the finest rooming houses for the accomodation of the delegates to the National Negro Business League. The house was full and the nice accomodation was greatly appreciated by the guests. Prof. Bryant conducts a restaurant, and gives the people all they want to eat for 25c. John Williams, who conducts the Excelsior Laundry, employs seven people and is doing a large business. He was formerly from Texas and is a wildeawake young man. This shows what a young man can do who is possessed with thinking faculties and a will power to put his thoughts into execution. A man who did considerable business at the League was Mr. J. M. Martin, assisted by his wife and her sister, conducts one of the finest restaurants in the city and everyone who ate there once was pleased to call again. AT BOLEY. we found many colored business enterprises. We met Judge Bradley and wife. He is the only colored police judge in the United States and is also justice of the peace and owrs a large undertaking establishment. He came to Boley in the fall of 1905 and was born at Shawree, Johnson County, Kansas and first settled in Guthrie. He is an original newspaper man and owns the Boley Progress. He was married to Miss Pearl Snell in Spring Hill, Kansas, one of the teachers of that town. He has a fine home and plenty of everything. His wife has already an abundance of fruit preserved in the cellar for winter use. She is a leader of her sex and in church organizations. They own forty acres in the edge of town, and here they raise hogs, chickens and other stock. The Judge is a public spirited man and takes a great interest in the progress of Boley. The business men of Boley are very much incensed over the way the members of the Muskogee Business League treated them in the management of the special train to Boley. They would like for the members of the Muskogee League to give an account of the money taken in from the special train and what became of it. Boley put up $200, Okmulgee $150, Clearview $20, Boynton $25 and Muskogee was to put up a like amount. This money was to be used for the transportation of the members of the Business League. There were only twenty-five members of the Business League entitled to passes, fourteen of the Press Association and out of this number, fourteen of the Business League and nine of the Press Association were given passes and the rest had to struggle for themselves. Boley wants to know what has become of the money and says, "there is a nigger in the woodpile." We hope the members of the Muskogee League will answer these charges to the satisfaction of all concerned. The Plaindealer does not want to condemn anyone after having such a nice session. We met our old friend, Mr. O. M. Brooks, his wife and two children, a boy and a girl. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks were formerly of Coffeyville, Kansas. They were life long friends of the late John B. Fleming. Mr. Brooks is one of the most progressive farmers in the community and controls several hundred acres of fine land in Oklahoma and also considerable land in Kansas. He is a public spirited man and much interested in the upbuilding of Boley. He also owns considerable stock. Mrs. Brooks is a leading church worker and a lady of high attainments. She is loved and respected by the people of Boley for the good work she is doing in the church and for the poor. They have a very bright daughter, Ethel. She is in the Eighth grade and very fine in music. She is now assisting in teaching her class. She will demonstrate at the State Fair in Oklahoma. canned herself. She is undoubtedly one of the smartest girls in the country. They have a bright young son, C. M., Jr., who is just past eight years and is a great help to his father on the farm. We met our old friend, Wm. Hazel, who is doing a leading business in groceries and meats. People who want to purchase real estate, write Mr. T. M. Haynes, the founder of Boley. He will give you farm and city property at rock bottom prices. He is honest, upright and will give you a square deal. Our friend, S. M. Mathonican is still running a barber shop and is right on the job and is also our friend Mr. A. Hill, formerly of Bartlesville, who conducts a nice shop. Mr. E. D. Grady is conducting a fine meat market and doing well. Rev. Byron, of the M. E. church is erecting a $6,500 edifice to be completed this fall. Mrs. Ida Beck and the editor addressed an audience at Rev. Burrow's church Sunday morning. Mr. J. H. McRiley still conducts a lumber yard. Rev. E. A. Hubbard, pastor of the A. M. E. church is doing fine. We met our friend, Mr. J. G. McCraill, who is going to the front. We atopped at the Commercial hotel of which Mrs. Perry is proprietor. The Haynes hotel is also a very fine and well conducted place. AT LANGSTON we found the little town about the same with very few changes. We had the pleasure of dinning with Sargent Bennett of the Ninth Cavalry and his family. Mr. Bennett is a native of Georgia and enlisted in 1881 and served in the Philippines in the Spanish-American war as a non-commissioned officer. We enjoyed the company of a highly cultured wife and three children. GUTHRIE. Dr. W. H. Conrad is conducting a fine sanitariam—one of the finest in the state and patients come to him from all parts of the country. He has all the modern appliances known to the medical world to give relief to those who suffer. We had the pleasure of riding in Dr. Wright's auto. He has a lucrative practice and enjoys the pleasure of a beautiful and accomplished wife. We were the guest of our old former job printer, Dr. Al R. Engleson and his highly cultured wife, who is one of the finest educators in the country, and she knows what to do with a cooking range. We partook of a feast fit for a king. Dr. Engleson is one of the leading dentists of the West and is making good. M USKOGEE The following is the eloquent address of Hon. R. Emmett Stewart to the members of the National Negro Business. It was enthusiastically received and ably presented: Members of the League, Ladies and Gentlemen: "On behalf of the good people of Muskogee, I extend to you the right hand of fellowship. Standing as we do at the transition period from pioneer to civic institutional endeavor, we bow in deepest gratitude at the shrine of this august body. Your coming is a delight, an inspiration and a cheer. We greet you with glad tildings of great joy. It is true, that the West has a characteristic breeziness. Its winds are continually lively and astir. The soft, sweet zephyrs rarely blow, for this is not the land of Ophir. It has a hobby for initiative and swagger and steel nosed bluffs that persuade the tender-foot and the monocle that there is serious business, or lots of tom-toolery mixed with a heartless and unconventional bravado. Its style, typically wild, yet possesses a code of highest honor, and the grace and charm and chivalry of the noblest knight. Its manner, like gold, is, without regard to characetr of the rock in which it may be found, pure and true to itself. "In the old days, before her primitive sons and herding 'gauchos' had heard the siren of the war lord, or given a grudging welcome to the invading hosts of hardy homeseekers, and before they in turn were invested by the gentry, these picturesque men of herd and horse, full of blood and native, held beneath their rough bosoms, a free heart and an open soul, and in the rough, but honest palms of nature's truest sons, every visitor found a welcome worthy of the gods. Since, "the advancing multitude" atrode over them, "comes up the laugh of children, the soft voice of maldens, and the sweet solenm hymns of Sabbath worshipers. The low of herd blending with the rustling of heavy grain over dark brown furrows," and in this is found a welcome and a gladness in which each invites the other in all good ideals.

Best Burlingame Best Osage City Semi-Anthercite Weir City Lump Weir City Nut Pennsylvania the pealing note of Freedom's Bell into the boundless Love and Charity of an aspiring and hopeful people, into the depths of passionate fondness, into the heart of the prairies, exemplifies that spirit of progress and achievement and marks the ever rising power of that race which has given history its finest example and humanity its greatest forbear and greatest friend. "I say to you that we are happy among those whose conquering spirit gives hope and purpose to a rising host in the dawn of life, happy in the faith of an unfinished service for the upward struggle of a grateful people. 'For as through a glass darkly,' I behold the shimmering ray of a brighter morn, for the knowledge that the enshrouding fog must break and rise to meet the glorious sunlight of a new conscience and a new freedom. "Happy, because the fine sense and splendid command of the great moral, economic and industrial forces now at work will fashion this new order with a ringing triumph under the banner of the 'Brotherhood of Man.' This sort of meeting is not of welcome, but of mutual joy, and nearly good will. It comes to work, and remembers that the problems of the world are complex and man so'd; that every living organism has its functional and institutional duty, and if they do truly their several offices, it cannot be said, 'His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.' 'It is man's inhumanity to man that countless thousands mourn.' Still, as age succeeds age, man claims to rise higher and higher in the clearness of his vision, the power of his mind, and success of his endeavors only the more clearly to mark the way of his ruin by a selfish disregard of the saving efficiency of the unchanging formula, of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.' Therefore, I say unto you, 'Be just ard fear not. Let all the ends thou aim's at, be thy country's thy God's and Truth's, then if thou fallest, thou fallest a blessed martyr.' Under this standard direct your own life. Carry the thought that you are the ore order of creation and the dominant influence. That all else is trivial, mere difficulties to be overcome by you; that if the Jew in the past were God's chosen people, you are the children of his prophecy, of His future and fulfillment. For 'Ethiopia shall rise and stretch forth her hands.' Then, in the hour of your travail, pin your faith in the destiny God has marked for you, and lifting your vision, behold, as it were, the new birth and the new resurrection of your deliverance. "I believe with those who contend that a man who would become his own master, must first master his own situation. If he cannot do this, then freedom from the restraints of routine work would only serve to throw upon him a sea of difficulties, where his light craft would be sure to meet with disaster. That, if your purpose is your very life, you will select the right things for its accomplishment. You will allow no obstacle to hinder your reaching the goal. You will remember that routine work can be done easily one; but it is doing the unusual thing, meeting emergencies, filling the unexpected and having your brain power right on tap that marks the unusual man. Keep your brain reserve and active forces under joint control and immediate command. $4.40 4.40 7.00 4.50 4.25 12.00 "So be it with Muskogee, and all of us. It is under this standard, we prepared the man to give St. Louis her leading shoe shop, to Chicago, her leading pharmacy, to the country at large examples of leading and fearless effort in the world of enterprise and business, which became the pride and stimulating model for all who would venture in. She has contributed her share of the world's pluck and energy and is still at it. She has suffered reverses, but has not lost heart. Her experience is the common lot of man, and if in the emergency of the world's affairs necessity drives to suspension, the bourse, Picadilly and Wall Streets, and the closing of the doors of clearance and exchange; surely, we may, with just pride and equal fortitude, be pardoned for our refusal to falter and our determination to 'come back.'* "The power of memory obliges us to remember the past, while the power imagination like a window of the soul pierces the dark veil and opens the dawn of future's rising more, while hope, radiant in optimism and strong in faith, lirgers by the way to hearten the bold and help the trembling and the weak. I cannot corclude without saying that this new order is the result of the thought and toll of that matchless leader, the Wizard of Tuskegee, who while his companions slept, toiled upward through the night, 'for the great human sympathy and love of man, which he bore to the world. It is to him, we are indebted for being the first to point the way of peaceful endeavor, to cry out as a watchman on the wall, to sum up in a word the true preparation and duty of life, not for you alone, but for all in such manner as to make him the most potential benefactor, and seemingly to please the Divine Will that upon his brow, 'all the gods have, seemed to set a seal to give the world assurance of a man'—our own, our only, Booker T. Washington, the president of this great working, practical, masterful organization. As the flowers in May so are you, one and all—welcome." ANY SPARE TIME? WHY NOT TURN IT INTO MONEY?
