THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Historical So State House BE the Sun CULTURED MEN WOME Topeka Delighted With B and the C. M. E. Co Topeka Delighted With Bishop Jamison and the C. M. E. Conference. A Glance at the Life and the closing scenes will long be remembered. From the auction block in Georgia to the bishopric of one of the nation's leading churches, is indeed a long and commendable stride. Thus came Bishop M. F. Jamison. Fighting and conquering at each step, he has reached the topmost rung of the ladder of success. He was made a bishop in May of the present year at St. Louis, Mo., and placed over the Fifth Episcopal district, comprising Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The story of the rise of this most remarkable man is perhaps best told in a neatly bound autobiography of his career from the cradle to the bishopric of the Great C. M. E. church. The little volume teems with human interest from cover to cover, and after-you have read the last lines of the closing chapter, you thirst for more. It is a beautiful story of a useful life, and fills one heart with confidence that despite the persecutions hipped upon the colored race, that every obstacle can be surmounted and that there is still room for another at the top. We quote from the opening chapter. "In the sunny hills of Georgia, the Empire State of the South, near the city of Rome, I was born a slave November 27, 1848. My father and mother, George and Lethia Shorter, were owned as slaves by a Mr. Alfred Shorter. Mr. Shorter having moved from Georgia to Greenport, Ala., my mother and her two sons, Frank, (the writer) and John, were sold to a Mr. Eli Denson. "By virtue of the many evils which accompanied slavery and the period of time which it held me within its grasp, it was impossible for me to obtain an education in the plastic period of my life." Thus starts the life story of a man who has fought and won. We are story of a useless life, and fills one's our quoting more of this interesting story, and at some future date, we intered to give our readers a rare treat by running it as a serial, that is provided the good Bishop will permit us to do so. To his race Bishop Jamison bears a happy, inspiring message of bright things in the future. He has always lived in the Southland, and knows well both the black and white man. He is optimistic in his views on the race question, and like Ray Stannard Baker, he sees "a great dark hoard of men and women coming up, coming up," and upon their M. B. E R S M. B. BISHOP M. F. JAMISON . Sixteenth Year. No. 45. A. Glance at the Life and Work of One of the Most Remarkable Men in the World--From Slave Pen to Bishop of One of the Leading Churches. The C. M. E. annual conference which met with Lane chapel in this city a few days ago, was a gathering of brains and ability. A finer or more cultured lot of men and woman ever assembled under one roof, and the result of their coming to the Capital City will result in great good from every view point. The ministers, laymen and members of the several auxilaries were excellent types of men and women who have braved every storm of life and risen to a place where they are useful, and the world will applaud and grow better on account of their presence. The different reports showed a remarkable growth both in numbers and finance. The ministers had done a fine year's work, and their well arranged reports were an excellent account of their stewardship. Among the noted churchmen in attendance were Rev. James Arthur Hamlett, Jackson, Tenn., Rev. Stark, Sedalla, Mo., and Bishop Isaac Lane, Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Hamlett was formerly pastor of Lane Chapel, where he remained for five years or more. He is a brilliant young man, full of push and energy and recognizing his budding genius, he was placed in editorial charge of The Christian Index, the official organ of the church at Jackson. Here the church owns and operates one of the finest and best equipped printing plants in the whole South. Rev. Hamlett is one of the ablest newspaper men of the race and his gifted pen has placed The Index in the spotlight of newspaper-dom. Topeka was royal in the way of entertaining and caring for the conference. Black and white felt highly honored to have such a distinguished-body of men and women in our midst. Each day and evening, the church was filled to overflowing, and the programs were interesting and highly instructive. The Rev. J. C. Nicholson, pastor of Calvary Preabyterian church, in a few happy, well selected words, delivered the welcome address to the visitors. Responses were made by Rev. James Arthur Hamlett and Rev. McChain. Truly, it was a fine gathering and Bishop Jamison. TOPEKA, KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING NOV. 13, 1914. banner is written in letters of gold, "success and happiness." Bishop Jamison said when asked by a reporter for The Plaindealer concerning conditions in the South: "The Negro is more than holding his own, and making commendable progress. He is battling right alone, getting land and finds employment at anything there is to be done. It is, however true that the labor unions bar the black man, but there are so many places where the union does not predominate, that he gets along with case. For an example, take the railroads. Colored men are employed as brakemen, firemen, switchmen and in the shops, and for this they are well paid. "The only thing really against the colored people in the South is mob violence, and this is fast being stamped out. The best element of both races are getting together and they are working through the churches, schools and colleges to put an end to this dreadful evil, and their efforts are meeting with success—that is things are very encouraging to both sides. True, the rough element of both sides break over the line, but each day their ranks are growing thinner and thinner and before many years this class will have almost disappeared from the South." The Bishop resides in Leigh, Tex., and when questioned regarding his state casually remarked: "Our people are treated much better in my state than they are in Louisiana. There's as much difference as day is from night. Many places in Louisiana where the colored people pay an enormous tax from which they receive no benefits whatever. In the Lone Star State its allogether different. Be that as it may, there is no denying the fact that the majority of the best white people in the United States reside in the Southland. The white man North is mean. He knows the black cannot live without labor, and uses every plan known to human skill and trickery to keep him from securing employment. I would much rather stand the indignities of the South, where there's plenty of work at whatever you can do than dwell up here and starve to death." As an example of what thrift, energy and enterprise can accomplish in the much cussed and discussed Southland, and Bishop Jamison is an excellent illustration. He owns and operates 7 miles of telephone with 31 stations, and his patrons are mostly white. For residence he receives $1.50 per month and $2.50 for business places. He has two large automobiles and 395 acres of fertile lard which is well stocked with mules, horses, cattle, hogs, etc. He has fifteen people employed, and they are under the supervision of his two sons who conduct the business Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon the Bishop to have him locate the episcopal residence in St. Louis, Mo., and as it $ \mathrm{i}_{8} $ the center of his work, it is likely that he will consent. He has a beautiful and cultured wife, who has contributed much to his success. Where the Ministers Will Be Located. For the Kansas District, Bishop Jamison made the following assignments: Rev. J. W. Jacobs, Presiding Elder, KansasCity—Rev. W. I. Warfield. Topeka—Rep. N. J. Smith, trai- fered from Fort Worth, Texas. Paxico and Eskridge—Rev. T. A. Bowers. Hutchinson—Rev. A. D. Wilson.

McCullough. Warrensburg—Rev, G. L. Brown. Santa Fe Circuit—Rev, S. H. Duncan. Rev. J. H. North was conference reporter, and he filled the place like a veteran newspaper man. He is a good writer and his work was a credit to not only himself but the dignified body whom he served so faithfully and well. He should be assigned to the job permanently. "Liberty or Death!" It makes my blood boll to read of the atrocities crimes committed against my people in the country called United States. It is almost a miracle to me and really exceeds my comprehension how that the noble race of warriors to which I belong can refrain from taking up arms and shedding the last drop of their blood in defense of Negro manhood and womanhood in this country. I am pleased to note that The Topeka Plaindaler is fearless in exposing these outrages. May the paper ever live to sound the battle cry of freedom. It was a noble Negro who, before Patrick Henry was ever heard of, said, "Give me liberty, or give me death." And may that be the slogan of every Negro man, woman and child in this country; north east, south and west until we shall have obtained all of our rights as citizen of this country. "They who would be free themselves, first must strike the blow." E. H. ADAMS, Box 317, Garden City, Kansas. Human Brutes. Editor Plaindealer: I have just read your article on the Greenwood, County, South Carolina irhman act of the low down white brutes of that state. I have said and I repeat the same thing again, such cases are not only true in South Carolina, but true all over the South and will never be stopped until we have a second emancipation from this second slavery. We do not believe God is dead, but He works mighty slow sometimes to us, but we are trusting Him for his judgment. But I have learned a lesson in the South, not yet a year since I learned that no matter how big the crowd of white men may assemble, there are no one who are willing to die. I also learned it was good to trust God first and second trust a good six-shooter and with a heart full of nerve and with a heart full of nerve to use it, they will leave you alone. Now remember, there is no law in the South for the Negro when it comes to his protection.. I want it understood that I am of the opinion that the war in Europe means nothing less than the paying for 23 million souls the Belgium government permitted put to death in Africa and the rest of the powers held their peace until it became an open disgrace to civilization. They held the coat while Belgium spilled the blood and all Europe must pay for every drop of that blood, and this war is not going to stop until every drop of innocent blood is paid for, and in a like marmer, this government must pay for the burning and lynching the Negro of this country. Dear readers, I am tired of that class of Negroes going about telling your condition is good enough. I say not so. Your and my mother and father laid the foundation stone of this government in the Southland and you have been given the rights of a MAN in this nation and you have a right to contend for them. I say do not stop. You have never given this government any trouble and you ought to contend for your rights if you have to drink your own heart's blood. The Negro who will tell you such stuff ought to be driven off into the ocean. I was South less than a year ago, and I went to learn what caused this great trouble and I learned and I can tell the world. I plead for union of the race. Let us learn united we stand divided we fall. I'm for the race once, last and always. I may be as black as two midnights in a cellar, but I have rights that I am going to demand. Yours for the race until death (REV.) GEO. W. HARTS. JOHN HARRIS NEGRO SOLDIERS THE FINEST IN THE WORLD. Cavalry Regiments Making Unsurpassed Record Under Trying Conditions in Arizona. In view of the record being made in the European war by the black soldiers brought into the war zone by the French and English people, it is of value and interest to note also the record in this country of the Negro soldiers belonging to the U. S. army. For two years or more the Ninth Cavalry has been stationed on the Mexican border, and not infrequently the associated press dispatches bring the news that troopers of that regiment have fallen victims to stray Mexican bullets which have come across the boundry line. And the surviving comrades have not had a chance to avenge the fallen victims. The gallant attitude and soldierly devotion to duty of the Negro soldiers arouse the admiration and respect of all who come in contact with them, and it has been declared that they are the finest soldiers in the world. A Tribute to Negro Soldiers. II. A. Lamb, white newspaper man of the Southwest, is staff correspondent of the Douglass (Ariz.) Daily International, one of the largest and most influential papers in that section. Lamb recently visited Naco, Ariz., where the Ninth and Tenth regiments of cavalry are stationed and as a result he sent the following special to that paper: "Naco, Ariz., Oct. 19.—To my mind the most interesting thing here is not the tiresome, ammunition-wasting battle across the line between Maytorena and Hill, but the behavior of the United States cavalry troopers (Ninth and Tenth regiments, composed of Negroes) on border duty here. The American soldiers have gone through an experience more trying than actual war, and have stood the test. A trip to Naco to see them on duty is an object lesson in patriotism. Nobody can come up here and observe these soldiers without feeling prouder than ever before of the men who maintain the nation's military prestige. "To me it seems that the behavior of the American troopers has not been only commendable, but remarkable. I have noticed it from the first. The only complaint I have heard about them are from General Hill, and his allegitona are vague and without corroboration. The Troopers Never Complaint "On this side of the line, under conditions naturally provocative of more or less criticism, I have never heard a complaint. From the troopers themselves and their officers I have never heard a whimper or a growl. Uniformly, they are not only civil but courteous in their relations with civilians. I have never noticed a soldier, even while duty, acting any other part than that of a gentleman. Their discipline is perfect. More exceptional, however, is the common sense and moderation Price $1.50 Per Year. Coal House! ETT, Eloquent Divine and Gifted Christian Index. with which they use their authority. "Making a gallant charge on the enemy is easy compared with the ordeal the troopers are going through. This is a test not only of courage, but of patience and restraint and kindness. Cheerfully officers and men take their lot when kept on duty one or two days at a stretch without getting a wink of sleep. Always when on duty keeping civilians out of danger when the firing becomes heavy they are in more danger of being shot. During the attack early Sunday morning, for instance, American officers rode through showers of so-called 'stray' bullets to warn people in frame houses of their danger and to assist them to the few places in town really safe. And getting shot by a 'stray' has none of the glory and glamour of being wounded on the battlefield. Six Troopers Shot by Mexicans "Though they have seen six of their fellow troopers shot by Mexicans, in one or two instances it reemed deliberately, not once, so far as I am aware, have the United States troopers yielded to the natural temptation to violate orders and shoot back across the line. "The behavior of the troopers stands out finest in the treatment of the Mexican women and children, who are refugees on this side. The soldiers are their protectors. When the dirty, miserable refugees themselves were too indifferent to clean up the quarters in the opera house, Troop B Ninth Cavalry, commanded by Capt. W. B. Cowin, is in charge, did the work themselves." "The record of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry troopers at Nave is undoubtedly a credit to their regiment." KANSAS CITY. KANSAS.

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. Mr. George Hunter who has resided in Lawrence, Kansas, for thirty years, has at last found his long lost second cousin, whom he has not seen during that time, in the personage of Mrs. Mary A. Jarrett on Weaver street. After an exchange of several letters Mr. Hunter arrived here and happy was the meeting. Mr. Hunter is about 70 years of age and is wealthy. We must say that he and wife have their share of this world's goods. Mr. Hunter is honored guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jarrett and may his visit be a pleasant one. Mrs. Christopher Falinger delightfully entertained Mrs. Minnie Forte of Seattle, Wash., and Mrs. S. A. Campbell with an enjoyable sightseeing automobile drive throughout the city, her guests declaring this one of the greatest pleasures while in the city. Tuesday evening of last week from 8 to 12 Miss Lennie Young celebrated her 18th birthday anniversary with a reception which was largely attended. She received many lovely and valuable gifts by which that birthday will long be remembered. Delicious refreshments were served. At a late hour her many guests departed, wishing her many returns of the happy day. Wednesday afternoon of last week Fulldl Chapter, O. E. S., held a very profitable, pleasant and yet a bit sad meeting. Aside from regular business was a very sad yet sweet letter from its Royal Matron, Mrs. Maggie Scales, who so recently elected, tendered her resignation. With sad hearts and tearful eyes it was accepted. Mrs. Scales was a good matron and much good would have been accomplished under her leadership, but owing to her recent bereavement and making her permanent home in Kansas City, her year of useful work was curtailed. She will carry the prayers, love and best wishes of her many friends with her for the prosperity of herself and little daughters, Mildred and Olivia. Mrs. Scales will be missed here in the different orders, in the churches and as a resident, as she is a useful woman and it is with deepest regret that we bear her departure. On Thursday afternoon of last week at her beautiful home on Madison St. Mrs. Queen Haywood was charming hostess, entertaining with a reception complimentary to Mrs. Perkins, wife of Prof. Perkins of St. Joseph, Mo. Copers were laid for the honoree, Mrs. Perkins, Mrs. J. Chamberlain, Mrs. Fred Williams, Mrs. James S. Hardwick, Mrs. T. A. Harvey, Mrs. J. Burnett Clark, Mrs. Vincent J. Foster, Mrs. Arthie Hull, Mrs. Harrison Thomason, Mrs. Wm. S. Smith, Mrs. Crede M. Young, Mrs. Chas. Andrews, Mrs. Minnie Forte of Seattle, Wash., Mrs. Henry McAdams, Mrs. Calvin Stephens, Mrs. Ferb Wadd'e who so excellently assisted the hostess, Mrs. John Thomas Cooper, little Miss Waddle, Miss Wellard and the hostess, Mrs. John Haywood and others, who enjoyed the delicious hot steaming chicken pie (that kind you don't get very often—exquisite chicken pie), pickles, cream, cake, candies and coffee. If you ever get a chance eat Mrs. Haywood's chicken pie. The I. H. club, which is the talk of the town, gave its first social function Thursday evening of last week from 8 to 12, which was an elaborate affair and reflected much credit, praise and compliments on the staff, who are the Misses Geneva Vickers, president; Ida Andrews, vice president; Edlyth M. Young, secretary; Elwina H. Smith, treasurer, and Doris B. Cooper, musician, and members. This charming club was hostee to about forty guests, who greatly, as was expressed, enjoyed the evening with dance, vocal and instrumental music and games. The evening seemed to speed so quickly that many would have retarded the hours if possible. The color scheme, yellow and white, was carried out in the brick ice cream, which also carried "L. H," the club's initials, yellow and white candies, tied with same hue of ribbon, and the autumn leaf decorations were of the same tint. Prof. Vaughn furnished delightful music. This autumn leaf reception was at the residence of Miss Cooper, 930 S. Grant street. Aside from the social side these young ladies do beautiful embroidery and art work of all descriptions, which should be placed on exhibition. The young men of the city say they will not be outdone by the ladies. So, look out! Mrs. Perkins of St. Joseph, Mo., was the house guest of Mrs. Haywood while in the city, and she expresses her regret as to have to do without those delightful drives which she greatly enjoyed with Mrs. Haywood in her electric car. The people of Springfield are deeply grieved to learn of the sad demise of Miss Bertha Webb, which occurred in Kansas City Sunday morning, Nov. 1st. Miss Webb was born and reared in this city and was quite a favorite owing to her lovable disposition. Her mother and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all who know her. It is heart-rending that one should go in the very bloom of life. Meadames Bedell and Long were delightful hospices in honor of the Woman's Medical and Literacy club and friends on Friday afternoon, Nov. 6th. A goodly number enjoyed the hospitality of these ladies. The usual work was taken up by the president, Mrs. M. A. Jarrett, followed by a splendid program. Mr. Geo. Hunter of Lawrence, Has, and second cousin of Mrs. Jarrett, was one of the distinguished guests of the afternoon. Mr. Hunter delivered to the club an excellent address, as it was founded upon experiences, and coming from a man of ability and worth, it was indeed a rare treat, and all who heard it may count themselves as fortunate. Mrs. Anna Stephens received credit for the best quotation from Dunbar. Dainty refreshments were served. All departed highly complimenting the hostesses for such a lovely afternoon. Last Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 0 c'clock Mrs. Nancy J. Layton was a most delightful hostess to the L. H. club, teachers and mothers of the young ladies. Two hours or more were spent strictly at work, after which music and games were enjoyed by all. A three course menu which had been delicately prepared by the hostess, was greatly relished. Such a pleasant time was experienced that darkness caught them unawares. On Friday evening of last week Mrs. Pearl Thomason entertained with a 6 o'clock dinner complimentary to Rev. and Mrs. D. A. Holmes, who departed for Kansas City, Kansas, to take up his charge. Coverns were laid for Rev. and Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. M. Forte, Mrs. Cora Hardy, and Mrs. G. A. G. Campbell. On the beautiful moonlight evening of the La II. club automobiles and vehicles were out in numbers. Mrs. Allen Anderson entertained on Tuesday at her home on South Grant street Mr. and Mrs. Forcen, Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Clark, Mrs. Cornel and Mr. W. P. Campbell and Mrs. Walter Smith. Games and music were enjoyed until a late hour. Mrs. Anderson was declared a delightful entertainer. Mr. Geo. Motley of Nebraska avenue, Kansas City, who has been very ill for quite awhile, was able to attend church last Sunday. His many friends will be pleased to note the fact. Madam DeFrantz of Kansas City, Mo., who was in the city as a delegate to the Child's Welfare and Charity Association, was honored house guest of Mrs. J. Vincent Foster, 2134 Benton avenue. The society furnished automobiles and Mrs. Foster, Rev. Stewart of St. Louis, and also a delegate, and Rev. T. A. Harvey were guests of Madam DeFrantz sight-seeing. The society was in session two days, but before the second day Mrs. DeFrantz was summoned home owing to the sudden illness of her brother-in-law. She is a charming woman of worth and ability and all who missed shaking her hand and making her acquaintance certainly missed a rare treat. But we are looking forward to her return to the city when her stay will not be so limited. Mrs. E. C. Johnson is enthusiastic over the gathering of the Child's Welfare and Charity association and says those who did not attend the sessions and hear those excellent papers and wonderful addresses missed a treat and a feast. Rev. J. M. Harris, Rev. T. A Harvey, Miss Carrie Foster, Meadames Vangka, Johnson, Foster and a few others enjoyed some of the sessions of the Child's Welfare and Charity association. Mrs. G. R. Kelly, sister of Mrs. Foster, from Kansas City, is in the city for the winter; also her great niece and nephew, Helen and Carol Jarrett, will spend the winter with their grand mother, Mrs. Kelly. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cobb lost their baby, which came on Thursday, Nov. 5 we regret to note. After a very trying illness Mrs. Cobb is now doing very nicely under the care of Dr. J. Burnett Clark. After several weeks of severe illness Mrs. Harris, wife of Dr. Harris, is gradually recovering we are pleased to note. Mrs. Layton is lovely to the young folks even if her daughter, Miss Ehyle, is away in college. TESTIMONIAL. I commenced the use of Mrs. Blair's 1914 Hair Grower on the 29th of Aug.

Arrest of Frederick A. Winters police officer, for contributing to the delinquency of Jaunita Nelson, makes public one of the most startling cases of revolting feature in the history of the city. Jaunita Nelson is an orphan Race-girl, barely 18 years old. She is the mother of a child over a year old, the acknowledged father of which is Winters, a Caucasian of 32 years of age, an ex-fireman of the city department and member of the L. A. Police Force when arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Gillis and McKay. Detective Statens was immediately detailed by Chief Salmatian to investigate the case and the facts unearthed are astounding. Winters, while fireman, saw the girl upon a street car in 1912 and began flirting with her, obtaining her address. They continued to the end of the line, and many other rides and meetings occurred at a Los Angeles Street lodging house, although Jaunita Nelson was then to his knowledge, a ward of the Juvenile Court. Their liaison continued until the girl was expecting to become a mother as a result of their illicit relations. Winters urged a criminal operation, but she refused, fearing the result, and finally was taken to the hospital where the child was born September 31, 1913. Wintera had never given his victim either his real name or address and although she described him and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest, he was never found. Ebony hued Jaunita Nelson, child mother of an almost white baby, was given a home with an elderly Mrs. Anderson, at 1453 K. Twenty-third Street. Last Saturday at Seventh and Main they met—Jaunita Nelson and Frederick Winters, the white father of her illegitimate child. He was glad to see her, stood and talked, asked for and wrote in his notebook her address and phone number. She told him of the child and asked what he would do for its support. They parted, she returning home and with his promise to telephone her at 2 P. M. Arrival home, Jaunita told Mrs. Anderson she had seen the child's father. Noon the phone rang; he was on the wire. "Are you alone," he asked. The old woman prepaided her to answer "yes." Then he would come out and in a few minutes Winter was there. He greeted the girl affectionately, played with the baby and gave it two dollars. His former lust returned; he made improper proposals. Mrs. Anderson had meanwhile phoned the sheriff's office and two deputies motored to the address. One entered the front, the other the rear door, catching Winters as he tried to escape. They obtained shocking evidence of his parlor-attempts. At first Winters claimed he had never seen Jaunita Nelson, until she called him in as he was passing; he gave a fictitious name. Then, winking at the officers, claimed he was there on police duty as they were. At police headquarters he made a confession, admitting the facts as alleged by the girl. Since then he has made a clean breast of the whole matter and offers to support the mother and child by a monthly payment of $15. He wished to marry Jauita Nelson, but is prevented by the State law, From the New Age, Cal. COLORED EXHIBITS The possibility of a Negro Exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco next year is again talked of. At first the idea was scouted by many colored citizens as a relic of the "Jim Crow" system, and the members of Congress did not take kindly to suggestion to a separate display of the products of the brain and skill of the Negro people. Nevertheless Senator O'Gormon of New York, always alert to please his colored constituents, has introduced a bill providing for the appropriation of $35000 for a Negro exhibit at "Prisco under government auspices," the plan being to show to the world what a distinctive class of Americans are doing to gularge the scope of the nation's intellectual and industrial pursuits. There is quite a division of opinion on the subject and even the opponents of a separation of exhibits based on color, are inclined to think Best Short Order House in Coffeyville.

There is also a desire to share in the immense patronage at the disposal of the Exhibition, not only as a subordinate employee, but as managers and executives. It is argued that only through a separate exhibit can the Negro get a "look in" on the managerial staff, or be any considerable number of helpers. The contention is also made that the $35,000 suggested is not enough to guarantee an exhibit that will do the race anything like justice. It is thought that the amount ought to be raised to $100,000, the sum allowed for the Negro Department at Jamestown, a much smaller project, than that to be staged at 'Frisco. Mrs. A. M.

Since the meeting of the Negro Business League at Muskogee, Okla., occasioned by the speech of Booker T. Washington, to the delegates to that meeting to cease fighting segregation measures, the Negro press has in some parts of the country, been somewhat bitter in their denunciation of Mr. Washington and his doctrine. It would seem from reading some of these scathing comments on Mr. Washington's speech that in the majority of cases, some misconstruction has been placed on his real meaning in the matter. There is no doubt but that there are many intelligent people throughout the country that would profit through the advice of Booker T. Washington, if they would work out the plans that he outlines. When Booker T. Washington advised the delegates to the Negro Business League to "stop fighting segregation laws, and get more property, and more sense," it was mighty sound doctrine, a doctrine, that I do not think that any one of intelligence could scarcely be offended at. Too many of us are too quick to take offense at the right thing, where, if la many instances we would look into, and thoroughly analyze the question presented, we would be greatly benefitted thereby and be enabled to speak the good word to some one else. The matter of a people securing their rights is something that every man and woman of the right thought will command, but when we come to view the thing from a business standpoint, is there not many ways in which we can improve our condition other than by fighting? I believe if we look around us we can find every day, in almost every community, some step upward that may be gained through mediums other than aggressiveness. It's good and well to assume the offensive in the right thing, but too many of us are too willing to fight the wrong things; if we could get it into our minds to fight the things that are doing us the greatest injury, we would have little time to criticize Booker T. Washington. The Negroes in the large cities who have comfortable, palatial homes, did not secure them through constant warring with the white people, but through industriousness, thrift, and good common sense. It is true in some cities and different parts of the country, the progressive Negro has met with some opposition, on the part of the white people, but I believe this trouble is easily eradicated, when the whites see that the Negro is all right and means business. In almost every city there are districts that have a large Negro population; these districts I can say here in the Middle West, was not necessarily forced upon the Negro, but the Negro has forced himself upon the district, because he liked to live there. In another quarter of the city, you may find another type, the intelligent Negro who has acquired property, wealth and a high standing in the world who is many instances has trouble residing in the white neighborhood, because, the whites are afraid the other class of Negro will try to work their way into their midst. In the first case we must notice that in these populous districts just a few years back, the Negro could have acquired at a reasonable figure, the greater portion of the property which he is paying rent on now, but he did not have that insight into the future possibilities of the country that the white man had. The thought that Booker T. Washington, advances is very timely, "to quit thinking of the parts of the cities that can't be lived in, but begin to beautify the parts that can be lived in." This will apply to many of us, both in the country and cities; it is advice we should all heed, and endeavor to profit by. There is more progress to be made in fighting immorality than segregation; if in these objectionable districts, three Negroes out of every ten would put half that they spend with the saloons, into soap and scrub brushes, into paint, and paint brushes, we would soon see a new order of things. Let us clean up, and beautify the places where we live, before wanting to go where some and one else cleaned up, let us sorry, more buckets of paint and fewer buckets of horses let us play flower art, impatiate our laziness, our backyard, let us read and study the plans of others who are successful and --- I believe we will have less fighting to do. There are many communities that would be five places to live in if they were cleaned up; houses painted, fences built, side-walks laid and many other improvements that could be made with nickels that go annually into the "ratholes." The white people will continue to segregate the races in certain districts; continue to improve his condition in every possible way. The best course to pursue is to do that which is right at all times; every person knows and must admit, that, right will prevail, it may be, slow sometimes, but in the end it will predominate. The great light now should be for a higher morality; there will be lots of good places in the cities to live in, if the money given to the saloons were spent to improve the homes, and to educate and uplift the unfortunate. But it must be done through the Chri-tians, as no great good can be accomplished unless it be actuated by the spirit of tiad. The worldly people are always concealing and carrying out their plans, which the Christians cannot overcome until they become more active in their dealing with the things that are promoting vice on every hand. No, it is not so much that we need to fight segregation laws; the fight should be more for cleaner lives, and to get homes, to be useful each day of our lives, that we might be examples to those around us, and become acceptable citizens in the community in which we live. There should be less opposition to such leaders as Booker T. Washington and such good advice as he gives, but many leading Negroes, and influential race journals do not accept his logic. The November issue of the "Crisis" observes: "What earthly reason is there in trying to cater to and humiliate ourself before people who talk and think like this? What a pity, that such great men as DuBois, and Washington are at abeyance; but if every great man thought like the other man, what a quiet world it would be, and when we come to think, it is the busy, opposing forces, that make the world go round. DENNIS S. THOMPSON, Bethel, Kansas. Marquette, Mich., Oct. 16. While the world is commenting on the conflict in Europe it behoves us to ask what are the darker races going to gain? What of Turkey, India, Persia and Egypt? What will be the social and economic status of any of the countries where England has had full sway? In the name of civilization and under the guise of Christianity. My request for information upon this question is based on the fact that both France and England seem to consider that the only place in which members of the darker races are to be accorded equality is "when they are allowed to die" or "to make the most desperate charges" in defense of a nation which is satisfied to remain safely at home. While the proud Anglo-Saxon and the chivalrous Gaul are safely entrenched behind breast works these Tucos, Algerians and two army corps of Indians are enrolled with the allies—those whose kith and kin were deemed unfit to enter the Dominion of Canada less than ninety days previous. Quickly Forget Promise. It will be remembered that sixteen were brutally murdered and twenty-five were grievously wounded on their return to India simply because these same "civilized, cultured, dead-eating Anglo-Saxons" feared that they might tell of has Turkey to expect or gain from "man's inhumanity to man." What England—she who gave her solemn promise previous to and during the late Turco-Balkin war, that "no matter upon whose banner perched the fortunes of war, the status quo should endure; the map of Europe should not be changed?" But that was when England expected Turkey to be returned victorious. When fate decreed otherwise, how easily this proud queen of the Seven Seas forgot her promises. Now this same blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Christian nation is straining every nerve in the endeavor to coerce Turkey to remain neutral. I wonder why. Why has England sent the flower of her Indian army to Egypt if Egypt is—as she Informs the world—so contented under English rule? Her whole empire is founded upon pride of race and exploitation of any people who are unable to defend themselves. We are told that, "pride worth before a fall," if England allowed the truth to reach India at this stage, it would mark the beginning of her fall. The American papers are bad enough with their distortion of fact, but if we can believe Japan is Barred, 1906. Judging by the news she causes to be spread in India relative to her numerous victories, Japan, too, is barred from allowing her surplus population to emigrate to English colonies. Yet England did not fall to call upon her, reminding her of her obligations. I wonder if England would have so cheerfully acceded had the relative positions been reversed. If my memory serves me correctly, England let it be known far and wide that in event of hostilities between Japan and the United States during the diplomatic passage of arms relative to the California alien land act she would be found standig with the Caucasian race, notwithstanding that she had formed an alliance both offensive and defensive with Japan. Hero they are, all fighting for a flag and a nation which gazes upon them in the hours of peace with amused contempt, asking, with a sort of smug complacency, what they are going to do about it; but which, during a war that threatens to penetrate to the very vitals of the empire is asking these betrayed nations to either remain neutral or join in a war which England is guilty of having fermented in an effort to curb German expansion. England is up to one of her ancient tricks—l. e., getting some one else to do her fighting. I hold no brief for Germany; but, being a member of a down-trodden race, I cannot refrain from expressing my indignation at the distortion of facts and the misrepresentation of a people who, whatever their faults, certainly have a just cause in this particular instance. As for Belgium, that country is not getting a tithe of what she deserves in repayment for the misery spread in the Cargo. The sightless eyes, the maimed limbs and tortured bodies of more Africans than there are people in the whole of Belgium bear cloquent testimony of the truth of this assertion. All this misery was foisted upon an innocent nation in order that a dissolute king and his more dissolute children might have the wherewithal to gratify their degenerate appetites. "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Having had to contend with the same sort of treatment here in America for the past half century, being misrepresented, having our failings distorted and our virtues minimized, it behooves us not to be carried away upon a wave of hysteria, or to shed maudlin tears of sympathy over a people who never gave us a thought; but we should bring, to bear all our powers of logic and deduction, resting assured that the final concensus of opinion must award the palm to Germany. I only wish that we as a race were cemented as firmly together. Conditions would soon assume a different aspect everywhere. (First Published in The Topeka Plain- dealer October 30, 1914.

In life we are confronted with death, It has pleased Him who doeth all things well to sever another link from our chain. Brother J. I.

A man who could invest a quarter and get back a dollar and a half would think he had struck a good thing. That is about what a farmer can do in the handling of manure. Twenty-five cents' worth of acid phosphates added to the stable manure will return 150 cents' worth of crops. The Ohio experiment station has proved it, many farmers have found it to be so, and yet most of us fail to invest the quarter or make the worse mistake of failing to care for the manure at all—National Stockman and Farmer. FOUR SPUD CROPS A YEAR. Spanard's Methods May Be Good For Others to Imitate. From Spain comes the report of a Spanard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potatoes were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilized with horse manure. First crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug. 22 and dug Nov. 6, 1911, fair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 9, 1911, and dug Feb. 19, 1912, fair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb. 21 and dug May 10, 1912, large size and much better than those of preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 22 and dug Aug. 19, 1912, poor yield and potatoes small. The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed, lack of water for irrigation and to several very hot winds that prevailed in July; hot, as in other years, the crop of this same period has been a good one, the low yield of 1012 does not detract from the feasibility of the plan.—Rural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug If You Want to Say Your Flowers. To destroy the green fly, colonies of which congregate on the young growth of the rosebushes and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect peats, we spray the bushes with tobacco dust after wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hellebore dusted on the bushes a very good remedy. A sifter can be made by punching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the can in the same manner as a salt or pepper shaker. The rose slug, a light green worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying whale oil soap, one half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shell beetle that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosebushes can be kept quite free of insects, however, by liberally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust.—Rural Life. Keep the Calves "Coming." Keep the Calves "Coming." The calves must be kept "coming," whether they suck the cows or are hand fed. Skimmilk calves grow strong and thrifty if given a chance. Their milk has to be clean and enough of it. With it they need something to take the place of the cream that is gone. Corn is a good substitute. Oats help also. Ground flaxseed in the milk is fine, but it costs too much these days. For cheapness and results corn and oats crushed together or just plain corn coarsely ground and fed dry are hard to beat.—Iowa Homestead. Hand or Power Spraying? Hand or Power Spraying? Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the apparatus used. The pump should have capacity to maintain high pressure, and the nozzle must throw a fine spray. The requirements are the same for every kind of spraying-Farm Progress Handy Trench Cleaner. To a short piece of half round post securely tack on the curved side with shingle nails a sheet of heavy galvanized iron about fifteen inches long Bore a hole in the block at an angle of about forty-five degrees, deep enough to receive a long handle. This works very satisfactorily.-Farm and Fireside. "GOING TO LAW." A conveyance of land described as running with the meanders of a non-navigable stream gives title to the thread of the stream in the absence of a contrary intention shown by the feed—Robinson Versus Wella, Ky., 135 B. W, 317. In selling personal property the general rule is that where no misrepresentations are made by the seller in respect to the quality or condition of the property the purchaser buys at his own risk and cannot recover damages on account of defects or unsoundness, but where animals or articles are sold for food the law implies a warranty on the part of the buyer that such provisions are wholesome and it to eat, and the rule of buyers' risk does not apply.

First, all the tag locks must be removed, whether they be dung or grease and dirt, writes W. C. Coffey of the Illinois station, describing the proper way to tie up a fleece; second, the fleece should be carefully rolled up by hand (not in wool box), with no ends or stray locks protruding and with the flesh side out; third, the fleece should be tied with a hard, glazed twine, not larger than eighth inch in diameter. In tying the ends of the twine especial care should be taken to make a firm, hard knot that will not slip. Tag locks are not so common that their presence in fleeces from farm flocks is the rule rather than an exception. The total effect of leaving them on fleeces is bad. It puts our wools in bad standing with wool houses and manufacturers. Long continued, it has led to the only logical result—namely, discrimination in price against our woola. Careful rolling, with the flesh side out and no ends or stray locks showing, adds greatly to the appearance of the fleece. It also prevents mixing the wool from different fleeces, and, by the way, each fleece should be tied to itself. In the wool warehouse it is a pretty sight to see the heaps of graded wool faced with a tier of carefully rolled and tied fleeces. GOOD FOR THE GRUNTERS. This Handy Swill Barrel Doesn't Need Much Material or Labor. A very handy swill barrel for feeding a lot of hogs when they come crowding around the trough is made as follows, says the Iowa Homestead, from which article and illustration are reproduced. The barrel A is set on a small platform immediately above a trough, B, next to the hydrant D, which has a goose neck so that water can be drawn into the barrel directly from the hydrant. In the center of the bottom of the barrel is bored a two inch auger hole which is kept closed by means of a'plug, C, the handle of which is HANDY SWILL FEEDER made of an old broom handle and long enough to reach to the top of the barrel. Swill is made of ground feed, and when it is desirable to feed the hogs all the operator has to do is to stir the swill and pull the plug, and the swill runs out into the trough without any trouble. When enough has run out the plug may be returned to its place, and in this way there is no spilling or handling of swill. The trough may be of any convenient length. Boring Culture of Wheat. Harrowing wheat in the spring is a practice that is receiving considerable attention of late years. Where the ground is compacted hard from beating rains of early spring, followed by rather dry weather, the harrowing of wheat with a drag harrow is good practice. So far experiments have shown at the Missouri station, however, the harrowing of wheat is not always sufficiently beneficial to pay for the work, although where one harrows in clover seed at the same time the practice is usually a paying one. Where the wheat is badly "heaved" the use of a heavy roller in the early spring is a good practice. All depends, however, upon the extent of the "heaving." Kill the Rats and Save Chicks. In answer to a subscriber who complains of rats getting away with his young chicks and requesting a remedy for exterminating the rodents, a correspondent of the Kansas City Farmer says that if powdered sulphur and cayenne pepper are scattered around the rat holes the vermin will disappear. Another remedy is to scatter powdered lye around their holes. The lye will stick to the rat's feet. He commences to lick them, which causes death. Why Rely on Corn? In sections where corn has not proved a success it is folly to rely upon corn. In such sections there are crops which do succeed, and it is the part of intelligence to plant them. Kaffir, mille and other crops grow and do well where corn falls. Then why rely on corn—Farmland and Ranch.
