He is one of those generous, open-hearted white men who loves to see the race come to the front.

The newspaper editor and publish: er is unpopular becasue he .cannot publish every Insinificant happening: and the reporter or correspondent has hard things said about him be- cause of his or her inability to note every trifle that comes up in the sommunity, Nowadays it seems that every fel- low has some faults; but some of us are wont to argue that things were top so away back in thé good old days, It is probable that people al- ways had faults, but the difverence now is there are #0 many more peo- ple thag it Is easier to notice these fittle shortcomings that distress 20 many of us, ‘We are very religious, but we soon come to have a dislike for the pastor of our church If he points out the right way of living. Others desire their children to be well educated, but if the principal of the school cor- recta them as to how best get through life they say i is a, poor school, arid are ready to make com- plaint to the board of education, And so it happens all along the line: they say we must change of the church will die or the school will go to pieces—we must have a new pastor; we must have a new prin- cipal; we must keep the people to- gether, ‘This keeping of the people ‘to- gether is just the thing that is hurt: ing us now, from He fact that too many are together on the wrong idea, It is to the advantage how: ever, of any people to unite on the right thing, In that it strengthens and makes them appear more rep- resentative, It would be better for each one to bear in mind the necessity of doing Ubeilr duty before condemning the other fellow, If we would give our churches the proper support, moral and financial, we could probably see the pastor In a different light, as in the same manner our schcols, If we would tead more raca Jour- nals and literature, pay for them, and evcourage them, we could have as good newspapers as any people. The same holds good in all other lines of business-—-we must help to eyablish a substantia! business among our folks. If we are not abl? to give financial ald all the time, let ua tht find fault, but always speak a good word. There aie so many peopld who are not willing to help the race In any way—a class of self-appointed leaders in every movement that takes fom in the community, but finds fault and causes unrest among others, and in many instances bears a good name among the people, The majority of the people will he mors shan apt to follow the person with a good name; but wher one tops to consider the matter, they will find there is a vast difference between a food name and a charac- ter, It would seem then that we shou'd prefer being influenced by people of good character rather than by those with the good name, Character is one of the greatest motive powers in the world. In its noblest embodiments it exemplifies human natura in its highest forms, for it exhibits man at his best, Al- though genius commands always ad- miration, character mos, secures re- spect.

All persons not receiving papers, please repart same to this office, alsa your postmasters name, --- In a statewide election in Virginia the other day the Old Dmainion joined hands with her sister stats, West Virginia, in a try at prohibition. Kansas greets her. At the present rate of butchery in Europe it will be several years before there will be necessity for immigration out of Germany, France, England and Austria. Mexico accepted a new president not long since and now already it has been hinted to him that his life will be safer if he join the European colony of ex-presidents. We don't know whether it is the high cost of living or the cost of high living, but we do know that all the new fangled ideas indulged in not only by the rich, but the middle class, must be paid for by some one. Politicians seem to have a hard time in detracting attention from the European war to politics at home. If the interest on Nov. 3d is as low as now, judges and clerks will not need to remain up all night to count the votes. A. pall of gloom spread over the nation when the news flashed the death of that great and good man, Chaplain Allen Allensworth, which occurred recently at Monrovia, Cal. Full particulars will be given later. The voters of Douglas county should get rid of some of the men now in office and put some in that will do some good. The present county attorney is holding the office from the fact that he pleads poverty on account of being a cripple. There are plenty of cripples on the outside that can hold his office and then pass it on to the next fellow. To permit one man to get rich out of one office is a little too much. These are the kind of men who do not care a hang for the office only for what it will yield them in dollars and cents. TO A HIGHER REWARD! Lieut-Colonel Allen Allensworth is gone, his life virtually snatched away by the crushing impact of a heavy motorcycle by which he was fatally injured Sunday. The frightful accident that cost this noted life occurred at Mosrovia, Calif., about 10 a.m. Sunday. He had just stepped from the train and was proceeding to a church at which he was to speak. Using the paved roadbed of Myrtle Ave., a sixty-foot boulevard, for better walking than the mere pathway afforded he was overtaken and struck down by a motorcycle ridden by two young Caucasians. The bruised and bleeding form was rushed to the hospital at Monrovia where death came after two days of unconsciousness. Word reached Los Angeles, and relatives hastened to the bedside. Mrs. Allensworth hurried from Allensworth by the fastest train. Announcement of the Colonel's sad misfortune was made at the different churches and the whole community segmed stunned by the rews. At the coroner's inquest held Tuesday afternoon at Monrovia, E. S. White, who drove the motorcycle, and W. E. Ray, who rode with him, were closely examined, as were other witnesses also. Both men swore that the machine was running only about 12 to 14 miles per hour and that warning was given Col. Allensworth when 150 feet away. They claimed that he looked back, then walked on and that he became excited as they were passing and in dodging to and fro to prevent being struck, ran into the machine, which was not stopped for 150 feet after striking the Colonel. Sharp questions and direct expressions afterward showed that many believed the motorcycle must have been going at high speed, and that Colonel Allensworth probably had little opportunity to save himself. The coroner's jury returned an open verdict, without fixing any responsibility. Following the inquest the remains were removed to the parlor of A. J. Roberts & Son of this city. Colonel Allenworth's death is a fearful shock to his devoted family, the widow, Mrs. Allenworth, and two daughters, Mrs. N. B. Shanker and Mrs. L. Bledgitt. Fearing the strain upon them, very simple financial services will be held so present. The funeral will take place. Additional Local. Mrs. Josie Carleton, 1142 Lawrence street, was hostess at a very delightful dinner party complimentary to Dr. W. E. Jackson and his mother, Mrs. Hale Sunday. The menu was very elaborate and was served in seven courses, and was keenly relished. Mrs. Carleton is not only one of the best cooks in the country, but a warming hostess. She was usable in serving by her daughter and niece, Miss Louvelia Carleton and Miss Rebecca Whittaker. --- Mr. Thomas Vaughn and son, Sylvester and nephew, Mr.J. H. Simmons and other members of the family desires The Plaindealer to express their heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends and loyal neighbors for many kindnesses shown to them and their loved one who has passed to a higher life. They also wish to extend thanks for the many beautiful Floral tokens of love, friendship and esteem for their deceased wife, mother and aunt. --- Our friend, J. H. B. Taylor was an agreeable caller at this office one day this week and treated the force to a sweet juicy watermelon, which was devoured with great relish. Mr. Taylor is employed at the state house, and is dubbed as one of the most scientific politicians in Shawnee county. However, the melon was so sweet and juicy that Taylor forgot to whisper the name of the most "logical" candidate, consequently he will have to make another trip. He'll always find a warm welcome any old time he lifts our latchstring. at 1 p. m. at the 2d Baptist church on Maple Ave., near 8th, Rev. J. L. McCoy officiating and, the G. A. R. being in attendance. Interment will take place at Rosedale cemetery. At a later date appropriate memorial services will be held and Colonel Allensworth's life and services to his race and country will then be appropriately commemorated. (The above is taken from the New Age of Los Angeles California, and this sad accident happened on Sunday, Sept. 13th.) THE EDITOR'S NOTES.

He has four fine children and is a widower. If the right woman should come across his path there may be something doing. --- Rev. Barclay, of Banner, Nebr., a member of the A. M. E. conference, and who owns 640 acres of land there says that he is just doing fine and that the colored people that are having such a hard time in the South should come out there, so write him at Banner, Nebr.

She was accompanied by little Lillian Dodda, who will make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bradshaw on Locust street. Mrs. Horace Lamberson and Mrs. Nick. Chiles and daughter were entertained Monday at a very nice dinner by Mrs. A. Phillips of the North Side. They all left with the impression that they should like to have just such good things to eat as Mrs. Phillips served them more often. The Carnation Art club met at the home of Mrs. Walter Roberts, 1410 Quinney street. The club was called to order by the president, Mrs. Julia Kelley, and after the regular order of business, a daity luncheon was served. The next meeting will be with Mrs. George Yost, 1306 Monroe street.

Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins ideal entertainers and Miss Atchison an attractive guest. Mrs. Vaughan was very widely known and loved by all and one of the most respected Christian ladies in the community. She was more than zealous as a Christian, living above reproach or suspicion. No one doubted her Christian sincerity. She was true to every duty and obligation imposed upon her by church and lodges. As long as able, she attended every service of her church, taking some active part in all its work. Her church and Christian duties were first of everything. She was equally as faithful to her lodges; always letting her Christian light shine out wherever she went. She was devoted to her home and family, and in her Mr. Yaughan ever found a true and faithful helpmate in life. She will be greatly missed in her home, lodge and church, but earth's loss is heaven's gain. She leaves to mourn, husband, two sons, one nephew, one niece in Kansas, City, one brother and niece in Tennessee, a host of other relatives and friends. "Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle is fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy." Sergeant Arms was an agreeable caller one day this week. The Sergeant is a retired soldier, having served Uncle Sam for thirty years.

The Plaindealer is pleased to note that Under Sheriff Hugh Larimer is again back on the job after an illness of several weeks. During his absence, Mr. Ed Klene, son of the gentle's sheriff, acted in his place. Mr. Larimer is one of the finest young men in the state and some day we hope to have the pleasure of lending him our support for sheriff or some other good position. Mr. Elijah White, one of the progressive citizens of the North Side, while crossing over the Kaw river on the Rock Island bridge, was struck by a passing engine and knocked off the bridge into the river, resulting in a crushed arm and other injuries. He was taken to Stormount hospital and the arm amputated, Dr. T. P. Martin in attendance. Mr. White is getting along nicely under the circumstances. Mrs. Easie Clark, the popular milliner, spent several days in the big wholesale store at Kansas City, where she stocked up on the latest to be obtained in women's headgear. Among her well selected stock can be found all of the stunning fall and winter creations. They are artistic in shape and rich in color and made and trimmed in the best material. She deserves to be encouraged in her effort to build up such a worthy and needed enterprise. Mr. Joe Brown of Omaha, Nebr., was in Topeka last week visiting relatives and friends. He formerly resided in this city and was one of the most popular and progressive young men in Topeka. In Omaha he stands high in the ranks of the leading citizens. He has a fine home, a wife and two children. He was happily married in Atchison several years ago. Mr. Brown is employed at one of the finest cafes in Omaha, where he has worked for many years. Mr. Sylvester Vaughn arrived in the city Wednesday from Escondido, Calif., in response to a message that his beloved mother, Mrs. Chanie Vaughn had passed away. He paid her a visit about two months ago, and his many friends are grieved to know that he returned on such a sad mission. Mr. Vaughn will remain in the city ten or fifteen days when he will return to Escondido, where he has a lucrative position and is prospering. Mr. Wright, of the People's Drug store is not only one of the foremost in the ranks of the profession, but a fine gentleman. He is a good mixer and once you meet him, you're his friend right off the bat. He is a careful, painstaking business man and public spirited citizen. This writer's only objection to the fine, up-to-date store managed by him is the name. Most Negro drug stores are called "People's," the High schools "Sumner" and the ball teams, "Giants." But why ponder over a name? There are many men with the prefix, Me" or aphotofiled "O" who are direct descendants of Congo Chiefs. P. G. Lowery, America's greatest cornet soloists and premier bandmaster, will be in the city next week with the Haganback-Wallace shows. Mr. Lowery is a native son, and at one time resided in Topeka. He now resides in Reece, Kansas, where he and his mother own a good farm. Mr. Lowery's visit this time will no doubt be one of the happiest events of his life, as he arrives on his birthday and our own, Prof. Geo. W. Jackson, the daddy of all the leading colored musicians, and his boys, will no doubt stage a big blow-out for their time honored friend and former townsman. At their home on Grand avenue, Mrs. G. Thompson and Mrs. Charles Careny were hostesses Friday of last week at an informal afternoon at thimbles, which they gave in honor of Mrs. S. G. Thompson, of Chicago, Ill. The guests included Mrs. M.

She will finish her A. B., this term of school. $ \circ $ Mr. G. B. Turpin is president of the Republican club of N. Topeka. The club has about 150 members now and is working to get 300 by November. Class, No. 2 was the banner class Monday evening at the Leaders and Stewards meeting. Miss. R. Rutherford is leader. Keep on watch for the revival bills for the Asbury meeting. Great preparations are being made and the church and friends are looking for success, as is always expected of Asbury. Mr. M. C. Robinson made one of the leading temperance talks last Sunday evening. Mrs. R. J. Norman has been indisposed for a few days. Mrs. W. Robb is up again after a long spell of sickness. Mr. Harrison Williams has again taken his place in the choir as bass singer. Sickness in his family has hindered him for some time. While The Plaindealer is widely read in North Topaka scores of others say they want it and would take it if an agent would come and take subscriptions occasionally. The people everywhere look to The Plaindealer for the doings of the races and also they recognize it for the leading articles that appear in it from time to time. BAINT JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. (Dr. Church Staff.) Rev, B. F. Watson, D. D., general secretary of Missions, filled the pulpit at St. John, 11 A. M., last Sunday; the pastor, Rev. J. M Brown, being in Atchison attending the annual conference. The presence of Dr. Watson was a real treat to St. John membership and friends, as he served as pastor an prealding elder many years ago. A great crowd greeted him and his sermon was a most excellent one and enjoyed by all. In the evening the pulpit was filled to the complete satisfaction of all by Rev. Garfield Grant, who will take his leave Sunday morning for Wilberforce. Ohio, where he will take a course in theology in further preparation for the ministry. Too much cannot be said of the worthiness of this young man, and he will miss --- A thrill of delight seems to run through our church and community over the return to us of our pastor, Rev. J. M. Brown, and all have resolved to renew their efforts to make this even a more successful year in all departments than last. We are also pleased to have Rev. H. W. King again as our presiding elder, Rev. J. T. Smith, our ex-pastor and presiding elder, who will go to the Kansas City district has our hearty esteem and best wishes for success in his new field of labor. Let all turn out Sunday and give pastor Brown, warm welcome and assure him of our hearty support. Strangers especially invited and are welcome. Following Greetings are from the pastor, Rev. J. M. Brown: To the generous membership of St. John A. M. E. and Friends: In His name, once more I come, the humble servant of the lowly Nazarene, to act in the capacity of pastor of your great church and people for another year. I assure you that the pleasure is more than mine and shall assume this glove responsibility with no spirit of bigotry or desire to lord it over God's heritage, but to be to you, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord. I count it, a great honor to be trusted with the charge and over sight of a people with an intelligent, moral and Christian standing so high. All praise to our heavenly Father for His great care and presence through the year just closed. It is here no place or time to rest upon our lees. "The King's business demands haste" and "Forward March" is the command of our Captain. The harvest is ripe and much remains to be done. The work is not for one or two, but the fight is for all, individually and collectively. Your bereavements are mine; your sickness and misfortunes are mine; your fallen brothers and sisters are mine. And with all these, I shall of course appreciate share in your fortunes and sunshine. "Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodges, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God; where thou diest, will I die, and there, will I be hurled." I come to you, not as a stranger but one known by you for nearly 20 years. Hence, all sensational attractions from the standpoint of novelty or curiosity, cannot be in evidence; our only method of procedure and principle of action must develop from purely business and Christian motives. Within twenty years, you should have some fair conception of my moral worth. I am pleased to say that no stranger could prove a greater friend or brother, even in time of forest reed, than I shall endeavor to prove. Do not fail to call on me. This should be the end of all Christian service and friendship; not to be ministered unto, but to minister. To this end I come. Kindly permit me to prove my love and interest. Saying this, I do not exclude the most humble laborer or even subjects of destitute. There are hundreds of honest men and women in our city without any church affiliation.
