Fifteen Hundred Topekans Hear th Man Who Took a Bold Stand for His People's Rights. Brilliant Boston Editor Graphically Portrays the Interview That Peeved President Wilson. Bopeka was favored with one of the largest gathering of colored people ever held in the city to hear the editor of the Boston (Mass.) Guardian, William Monroe Trotter, Wednesday evening at the Second Baptist church, Third and Quincy streets. The subject was an explanation of of what he said to President Wilson in reference to the segregation of colored employees in the various departments at Washington. It is the consensus of opinion of those who heard him that it was the greatest speech ever delivered in Topeka and by one of the most valiant colored men in the United States. There were over fifteen hundred people present. THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC G. EISHBACK M., B. D. Field Secretary Foreign Mission Board National Baptist Convention Pastor Shiloh Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas to meet him a second time, they at last gained an audience with Mr. Wilson, and his attention was called to his failure to keep his promise. It was then that the President admitted that segregation was the beat for both races and became highly incensed at Mr. Trotter for the intelligent and dignified manner in which he answered him on every proposition laid down to the delegation, and because Mr. Trotter took issue with him in a different way to what he thought should have been used, Mr. Wilson became incensed and told the delegation that they were hurting their cause by having such a man as Mr. Trotter lead them and the newspapers throughout the nation published the report that Mr. Trotter was insolent to the President and hurt the cause of his race. Upon A. WILLIAM MORROE TROTTER this proposition, Mr. Trotter is now taking the rostum and telling the people just what he said to the President and what the President said to him and the delegation. Mr. Trotter has visited several cities: Chicago, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Saint Louis, Springfield, Ill. Wichita, Kansas City and from the latter city he goes to Brooklyn, New York. Mr. Trotter has addressed several thousand people and it is their opinion that what he said to the president was in a manly and dignified manner and was in the best language and that he was courteous and polite and that no one could see where Mr. Wilson or even the Saviour could have taken umbrage at what was said by Mr. Trotter or the delegation. Mr. Trotter also quoted editorials from different Democratic newspapers that supports his contention that what he said was right and proper and that the President was wrong. We hope Mr. Trotter will continue his lectures until he has made every city and town in the Northern and Western states, also Oklahoma, parts of North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia. It is the duty of the colored people in these various towns to invite him to address them on this subject. It was the finest talk that was ever delivered by a colored man on this subject and well worth anybody's dollar. He only asks for a collection after his talk and is not trying to graft or make money out of the proposition, but merely wants to encourage his race to stand up for their rights, demanding them through petitions and at the ballot. He has sacrificed his hard earnings and property in a movement to fight segregation, black laws and other outrages perpetrated upon the race. Mr. Trotter is also head of the National Independent Equal Rights League who are organizing branches throughout the country to fight all legislation that discriminates against colored citizens. These organizations are requested to send resolutions to their respective representatives in Congress protesting against any bill which may come up affecting the rights of the races. At these places he is organizing local branches of the league.

National legislation discriminating against no race nationality but the Afro-American, constitutes taint of blood by federal law, making colored citizens social and moral out-laws and outcasts. Places premium upon illicit miscegenation, destroys the safeguard of womanhood of this race and places all colored citizens in the same class with diotic, diseased and degenerate. A resolution protesting against the full crew bill, was also adopted and sent to the Kansas legislature. This bill, if enacted into law would practically eliminate colored men from railroad service. While here Mr. Trotter called on Governor Capper and implored him to fight against all discriminatory laws. TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS IN COUNTY'S SERVICE! Ike Johnson, Well Known Colored Man Has Served Douglas County, Faithfully and Well. Lawrence, January 21.—Twenty-seven years ago today the keys of the jail of Doug'ass county were turned over to Ike Johnson by Sheriff James Love. With the exception of three terms Ike has held the position of deputy sheriff and jailer without interruption. It was through the exercising, of his good humour that brought this place to Mr. Johnson. In 1888 when 'ame, Love was elected Ike laughingly suggested that he and Mr. Love's son be made deputies. To his surprise soon after he received this appointment. For fifty-three years Ike has been in Lawrence and has seen the city grow from a village of log cabins. In fact he came to this community transported by an ox team and "prairie Schooner" after gaining his freedom from slavery. "The jail business has changed since I first was connected with it," says Mr. Johnson. "In the old days we occasionally had a bully to contend with who objected to being locked in a cell. It was that these sary to beat him with a blunt or my knee. Now the inmates are peacefully inclined." Ike has, by his able work, prevented jail deliveries at seven different times. At one time an inmate who had broken every jail in which he had ever been confined was under his cars. This man, Charles Trude, by nams, declared that he could see a lock in his sleep and then make a key to fit it. He was a source of great annoyance to Mr. Johnson, especially after he had nearly been successful in gaining freedom by breaking a lock. Ike exercised some of his own ideas on criminology in the way of solitary confinement and had no further trouble with him. Mr. Johnson's long association with the study of crime has given him a few ideas of his own on the subject of prevention. says that when he first started children were kept in the same jail. Now the children are turned over to the juvenile court. If a child is kept in jail for any length of time he will lose his fear for the law, but if he is kept in a night or two and then paroled he will remember for a long time according to Mr. Johnson. Another Worthy Gentleman Heary H. Gillum, who was appointed janitor of the court house by the board of county commissioners yesterday afternoon, is another county employee who has had long service. He has held his present job for seventeen years, and it is his record for efficiency and commendation that has brought him repeated appointments. And by the way, Mr. Gillum's official designation is that of "Custodian." Lawrence Local Noten. Mrs. John Clark visited in Leavenworth last week, the guest of her father, Mr. Taylor.

Like Topeka appreciate the efforts of the Coterie to assist the Orphans' Home and Crittenden Home. Admission 10 cents. Remember the date, January 29th, at the Second Baptist church. One of the prettiest affairs of the season was the reception given by the Young Matrons' Study club yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Chas. C. Lytle, 1719 Harrison street, celebrating its first anniversary.. The house was beautifully decorated with the club colors of yellow and white, which were carried out in the lighting of the front and back parlor and also in the dining room, where the menu of yellow and white was served in excellent buffet style.

Social and Other Notes Gleaned by Our Special Scribe. The Non-Producing Att club met with Mrs. Willa Overton Friday afternoon. The roll call showed the following members present: Mrs. Isabelle Walker, Callie High, Willa Overton, Dolla Jones, Genasa Lecenberry, Analana Birdwhistle, Nanne Payne Laura McLain, Iirzie Wirs, Ethel Payre, Florence Smith and Anra Then porn. Inmediately after the approval of the Minutee, Mrs. Florence Smith arose to a question of privilege. She said she did not wish to be removed, nor to cast reflections upon any person, but she wished to inquire how under the constitution could Mrs. James and Mrs. Walker be members of the club. This inquiry brought forth a lengthy discussion, all the members participating, the personal friends of Mrs. James and Mrs. Walker defending them as being members prior to the adoption of the constitution and they did not believe it right that they should be legislated out of the club. The other this contended for what was at attention. One lady remarked during the argument, "We had just as well tear up the constitution, knock down the bars to all producers, as to permit these ladies' names to remain on your roll." After quite a stormy scene in which much bad temper was shown, it was agreed that the ladies' names would remain on the roll with the promise that they would not violate the constitution in the future. Miss Nellie Ellis//and Mrs. Heater Hardlinan, teachers in the McKinley school were invited guests at the meeting of the club. After the regular business of the evening these ladies asked to say something for the good of the order, whereupon Miss Ellis said: I don't want you to think it personal or selfish on my part to discontance the spirit of your club; while it is true that my room at school might be emptied and I out of a job, yet it is not on that account that I protest, but because of its non Christian like attitude, trying to make popular a feeling that is in direct conflict with the Holy Writ, which says: "Go forth and repleinish the earth." Miss Ellis discovered a whispered conversation going the rounds while she was talking which soon convinced her that she was in the wrong church, took her seat. Mrs. Hardiman perceiving the iceberg air that had surrounded Miss Ellis, declined to have anything to say. On motion of Mrs. Florence Smith, a committee of five were appointed to solicit members. After appointing the committee that consisted of the following ladies: Mrs. Florence Smith, chairman; Mrs. Nannie Payne, Willa Overton, Lizzie Wims and Anneline Birdwhistle; the Prudent admoinished them not to embarras the club nor prospective members by presenting the names of people who were ineligible to membership; whereupon the committee asked members of the club to suggest the names of some of their friends that could pass muster. The following persons were suggested as being available timber: Mrs. Emma Buchanan, Anna Bell, Susie Robinson, Hester Tuck, Ida M. Jordan, Rebecca Lisemby, Eliza Lyman, Mamie Revely, Mrs. Poynter, Sallie Barker Frasier, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Jerry High and Josie Ewing. After serving the Non Producers' favorite refreshments, strong lemon sherbet, the club adjourned to meet Friday with Mrs. Lizzie Wims. (Signed) CLUB REPORTER. Lane Chapel, C. M. E. Church Scene of one of the Most Enthusiastic Religious Gatherings Ever Witnessed in Topeka. Rev. Dr. Wells, the evangelist, who is styled the "colored Billy Sunday" has been conducting a meeting at Lane's chapel, C. M. E. church, for twenty six nights. It has been given up by some of the old citizens to be one of the best meetings in point of attendance and interest, that has been held in many years—conversions and accessions having numbered eighty-three. Standing room was at a premium. The meeting was interesting from start to finish. The meeting not only helped the C. M. E. church, but was a help to the entire city. The evangelist is now at a meeting at Mount Olive, M. E. church and is still drawing an overflow congregation. He is a great wonder and a success in this wonderful work. --- Dots from the Pen of the Second Billy Sunday. Editor Piaindealer; Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words of commendation to the good people of Topeka. First, I wish to congratulate you upon having such a splendid newspaper. I have noticed carefully its column a and editorials, and must confess that it is one of the best Negro journals in the country, and should be read in every colored home. For the past twenty-eight days I have conducting a series of meetings, in this city, visiting different homes of the good citizens, and carefully noted the conditions of our people, and leisure to take this medium to say a few words of commendation to the public. Topaka stands out prominently with other large cities in industrialism, intelligence, Christianity and education. She has some splendid church buildings, some able pastors in the persons of Rev. N. L. Smith, D. D., the newly appointed pastor of Lane Chapel, C. M. E. church, who is doing a fine work and starts off with the promise of great success. The Rev. J. M. Brown, pastor of, Saint John's A. M. E. church, who is now serving his second year in this church but who has been prominently associ Topkis. For about twenty years, and is still popular in the city very active in all lines for the betterment of the people. The Rev. C. G. Flaherty, M. D. D. pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, who has been serving the congregation twelve years, and is the secretary of the State Association and Field Society of the National Baptist Association, he is one of the busiest pastors in the city. Rev.G.W. Henry,pastor of the Second Baptist church, who is one of the best church financiers in the West, is a hustler from the word go, broad and liberal in his religious views. Rev. Dr. Terrill, pastor of Mount Olive M. E. church is a splendid character, a good church organiser, and has the promise of doing a great work in the city. There are other pastors in the city who are doing splendid work, whom I have not been able to meet in the persons of Rev. G. G. Walker, of the Episcopal church, Rev. Ross of Brown; chapel, Rev. Craggett of the Christian church, Rev. G. D. Olden, of B Street Baptist church and others. The Presbyterian church, which is now without a pastor, has a splendid set of people. Topeka has seven colored physicians, Dr. J. M. Jamison being the o'deat in point of service, Dr. I. A. Shields, Dr. O. A. Taylor, Dr. W. E. Jackson, Dr. T. P. Martin, Dr. M. L. Rosn and Dr. J. Lewis Ransom, all having splendid practices and a credit to the city. The colored lawyers are: Judge W. I. Jamison, J. H. Guy, A. M. Thomas and W. Herbert Jamison, whose work and influence is felt throughout the state among our people. We have six graded schools with a splendid set of able teachers, who are a credit to the race as well as themselves. The principals of said schools are Profs. F. Roundtrie, J. L. Harrison, N. Sawyer, R. H. Wade, and S. G. Watkins. Business Enterprises: J. M. "Ferguson & Son, E. W. Beck, M. W. Overton, W. B. Brown and Nick Wright. These men are operating fine groceries, having their own clerks and service wagons, which shows thrift and industry. Two colored laundries owned and managed by Rev. Geo. D. Olden and Mr. Albert Hall, doing first-class work and employing a large number of helpers. One motion picture show owned and operated by colored men. Two drug stores, each having first-class drugs and an efficient pharmacist. Three first-class barber shops owned by Chas, Lytle, M. W. Cunningham, and W. E. Stewart, with a set of good barbers in each. All of the above enterprises are the things that will help to solve this great problem of purs. The colored people own and live in some of the nicest homes that are to be found anywhere in the West. I take pleasure in mentioning some of the homes I have had, the pleasure of visiting: Mr. El Grear, B. G. Williams, Henry Edmonds, Dr. I. A. Shields, Hayden Edmonds, John W. Edmonds, Chas. G. Lytle, Fred Ware, N. Sawyer, Chas. Pillow, W. D. Cooper, James Temple, F. Roundtree, G. W. Burns, A. P. Smith and a number of other whose homes are a credit to our race and city. The good women of Topeka are actively engaged in a number of charitable and social service work. The Y. M. C. A. is now entering upon a campaign to renew interest in the work. This to my mind is a great field for the real consecrated ministry to advance the cause of Christ, and to lift up fallen humanity. There is nothing greater than church expansion. Everyone should be a church Christianizer. It should be the motto of every leader, to wear the three "C's"—Consecration, Co-Operation and Concentration. With this motto great good can be accomplished. Thanking you, dear editor, for space for this article, I beg to remain yours for the uplift and advancement of the Reecemer's Kingdom and praying God's blessing upon you and your force, Miss Edna Greene, Graduate Stenographer I make a specialty of copying legal documents, mermons, essays, etc. I also take dictation and will be pleased to serve the public at any time.
