The People of Kansas City, Kas-, Will Show Wisdom by Electing Hon. J. E. Caten Mayor----Vote and Work for Him Wichita's Hot City Campaign! The Peerless Princess Presents Fine Business Men for the Different Places. Major Pate S. Warren has recided in Wichita for the past twenty-one years, and no man in the city has done more to promote the growth, thrift and enterprise than Mr. Warren. He is an old time newspaper man and did much special work along civic lines. Major Warren has always been in the forefront in working for the things that will bring happiness and prosperity to all the people. He loves Wichita and her people, and if elected to the place he seeks, would devote all his time and energy to the duties of this responsible position. As to qualification, MAJOR PATE S. WARREN there is not a better equipped man in the state. He is an expert in taxation, and has a full knowledge of the laws governing public expendi- Major Warren insists that the pub tures lie official shall obey all laws himself before prosecuting the petty thief. He is a clean, upright, honorable gentleman and every penny of the city's finance would be properly accounted for by him. The position of Commissioner of Finance is one of importance, and carries with it grave responsibilities. It has to do with the people's money, and care and judgment should be exercised in selecting a man for the place. In Major Warren, we believe this selection to the place will show wisdom on the part of the voters. He promises if elected to devote all of his time to the office, thus enabling him to give the people a fine administration of the affairs of the office of Commissioner of Finance. Personally, Major Warren is as fine as you make em-clean, upright and strictly on the square in his every act and deed. He is a man who believes that the poor, be they white or black, should be given an equal shake with the rich man. With the colored people he stands high, and many are actively supporting him. He has always been a staunch friend of the race, and contributes to their advancement and uplift at every opportunity. $19,239.54 Saved Without Sacrificing Service. Mr. E. M. Leach, candidate for Commissioner of Parks, Buildings and Health has made a record in that office of which any city might well feel proud; and all of this was accomplished without sacrificing the service. "Mr. Leach is justly styled the "company candidate." He is one of the best financiers in the country careful and careful, and never suspicious of conclusions. No matter TOPEKA 1 how small a proposition may seem, Mr. Leach never acts without first making a thorough and careful investigation, the result of which is shown by the handsome sum he has saved for the citizen and taxpayers. Mr. Leach is a trained business man the kind it takes to make a city grow and the people prosperous and happy. The fine showing made by Mr. Leach as Commissioner of Parks, Buildings and Health, makes him not only a logical candidate, but has won him friends and supporters. Mr. Leach is asking the support of the men and women of Wichita on his record, which plainly shows/that he has been on the job every day and performed his duty faithfully and well, as a reward, he justly thinks he should be given another term. Personally, he is a fine man—broad and liberal in his acts and views, and believes in giving every man, regardless of color or condition, a square deal. The following figure shows where he saved the people's money: Telephone, telegraph and office supplies ..... $ 513.71 Made first municipal bathing beach. Made first oiled park drives. Built first park greenhouse. Started the first park nursery. Organized first play ground association Instituted the first city hotel and restaurant inspection, improving service. Built first permanent park entrances. Erected improved cages for animals. Doubled the number of elk and deer in park. Constructed a large swimming and wading pool in Linwood Park, with a city-owned water plant to supply the same. A vote for Leach is a vote for economy and efficiency. MR. BENTLY FOR MAYOR. "Sane and safe," the way many of the voters refer to Mr. O. H. Bentley, candidate for Mayor. "It's a man's job," remarked a prominent business man to this writer, "and Mr. Bentley can ably fill the bill." To run a great and growing city like Wichita, requires a chief executive of training and experience in the business world, one who has been thoroughly tested. In Mr. Bentley, they have a man who has stood every test, and his fine training along this line enables him to safely guide Wichita on to bigger and better things. Mr. Bentley's heart is wrapped up in the growth of Wichita, and the happiness and prosperity of her people, and if elected to the high office of Mayor, he will use every effort to advance the city's growth and make the citizen more prosperous and happy. Mr. Bentley is a public spirited man, full of thrift, energy and enterprise, and likes to hear the hum of the wheels of industry. He is a THE MISSING MAN HON. E. M. LEACH man of high integrity, and great executive ability, and knows what button to press to keep a thrifty city like the "Peerless Princess" in front rank of all others. If elected he will be Mayor for all the people alike. He has always been kind to the colored people, and has shown them many substantial favors, and whither he is elected or not, the colored people will always find in him a friend. He is easy to approach, and kind to everybody. He will be a Mayor that high and low, rich and poor, white and black, can all get to at any time and be courteously treated. As a man, he is finest of the fine and gaining strength daily in the contest for Mayor or thrifty, enterprising Wichita. The question of Water and Light is one that is cussed and discussed in every city, and in order to avoid unpleasantness, have plenty of good pure, health-giving water, and well lighted streets, this department should be placed in the hands of a man who has the people's welfare and happiness at heart—a man who will dig right into it and work. In Mr. G. W. Robb, we believe that the voters have the right man. Mr. Robb is a business man of the highest class and when he sets his hand to a thing it will be a success. He is noog a quitter, but believes in going ahead. He is for Wichita first, last and all the time, and if honored with the confidence of the voters, he will serve them honestly, faithfully and well. Mr. Robb is a man who is not tled up with any clique or clan—he is foot-loose and free, and if elected will serve the people to the best of his ability—white, black, rich and poor, will all be treated on equality. Mr. Robb is pleasing in manner, and always ready to grant an audience to any one who may desire to speak to him. He is a broadguaged, public spirited man, and places duty above all things, as may be seen by the following statement that appears on his announcement circulars: Under our present form of government by the people, National State and Municipal, a public office is a public trust; and those who are chosen by the people to discharge official duties become the servants of the people and should be responsible to the wishes and demands of 1914 HON. G. W. ROBB can furnish as good service as can be had from non-residents, even at a limited advance in price, the citizen is entitled to the preference. It is eminently proper to conserve the health and happiness of the people in every walk of life and the humblest person is entitled to the same consideration as the most exalted. The rich man can take care of himself while the poor is more or less helpless and dependent upon others for assistance. "The man who is most capable to enforce these fundamental principle is the one who can perform the greatest-service. If the people of Wichita want good government, it behooves them to inquire into and weigh the qualifications of the several aspirants for the several positions to be filled at the approaching city election, laying aside personal and political preference and act as though acting for his or her personal and private welfare. Result is what we want. "The greatest good to the greatest number." All Baptists will please note the announcement of Rev. J. H. Van Leu in this issue of The Plaindealer. The business and professional Negroes of Wichita seem to have taken on new life and it makes one feel good all over to note their thrift and energy. Schools. A few days ago the writer called at L'Overture school, of which Prof. West is principal. He is one of the most enthusiastic workers in the state, and has surrounded himself with a corps of well trained and competent teachers. The school is doing nicely and is a credit to Wichita and the colored race. At Douglas school, we found our esteemed friend, Prof. F. L. Barnett at the head of the helm. Prof. Barnett is a leader in the educational world, and with his able corps of teachers, he has built a school that ranks second to none in the state. It was gratifying indeed to find the school progressing so nicely. Dr. Grant B. Brown is enjoying a fine practice, and doing much for the moral and social uplift of the race. Dr. Brown is a graduate of Kansas University, and has many friends over the state. Dr. F. O. Miller, our old time friend is prosperous and doing fine. Dr. Miller is also prominent in working for the moral and social uplift of the race These few paragraphs would be incomplete if we failed to mention Dr. A. K. Lawrence. He is one of the busiest physicians in Wichita.

Attorney Fred Helm has a nice law practice, and is comfortably seated on the safe side of "Easy" street. He is a bright young man and a good lawyer. Mr. Chas. Morris of the Makin' Eye Drug Co., is doing fine and has a nice business. Here we found our old Topaka friend, Dr. James W. Brown in charge. He is one of the best druggists in the state and is doing fine. Attorney Blakemore is still on deck and a live wire when the rights of the race are being trampled upon. Mr. Blakemore has a splendid law practice—always busy. Mr. J. R. Johnson, proprietor of the Imperial barbershop, conducts a fine place, and is doing well. He is a thrifty, enterprising gentleman, and a credit to business colored men of Wichita. There are many other deserving business and professional men in Wichita of whom we will speak later. Capt. Sam Jones, who served in Cuba with the late 23rd Kansas regiment has opened a real estate and insurance office. Capt. Jones is full of push and if there is a man on earth who can make a thing go, it is Capt Jones. All Baptists will please note the announcement of Rev, J. H. Van Leu in this issue of The Plaindealer. candidate for Commissioner Street and Public Improvement, is one of Wichita's most progressive citizens, and is well and favorably known. He is a man of high integrity, and his word is as good as one of Uncle Sam's gold certificates. Mr. Burton is one of those broad, liberal minded gentlemen and believes in giving everybody regardless of creed, color or religion a square, fair deal. He is a man who has the welfare of Wichita and her people at heart and if elected would do all in his power to make a greater city. He is in love with his city and her people and wants to see everybody prosperous and happy. As a business man, Mr. Burton's standing cannot be questioned. He is clean, upright and honorable and a bitter fighter against waisting money no matter whether it belongs to the public or an individual. Mr. Burton's friends predict a sure victory for him. He is kind to the colored people and has many warm friends among them who are working day and night for his success. nentoppoohd.cffs cmf cmfwymm --- --- --- --- --- MR. J. W. BURTON.

A good dentist is badly needed in Manhattan and the writer thinks that this would be a fine field for the right kind of a dentist. as it is a very rare thing for a colored man or woman to get the right kind of treatment from the white dentists, and for five years or more the colored people have had to go to Junction City or Topeka, just to have a tooth pulled. When some of the good white society people began to talk about how disgraceful it was for the dentists to treat he colored people in the manner they were, they said that they would pull colored people's teeth, but that they must come after his oclock and before no in the evening. They soon found out that this would not work, so they concluded to pull them at any time, and they do, but when they get through with your mouth, you are in a worse condition than you were before going to town. The writer has known of a dozen cases where colored people would go to have teeth pulled and would nearly have their jaw-bone broken. Rev. G. S. Gordon is getting along nicely with his grocery business. He has a great many white customers. Mrs. Katie Cross is in Salina on business.

"Except a coin of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abdeth alone; but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hatch his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." Youth with the flush of the asian still hung up on its face, with its noble enthusiasm still fresh and beautiful in the heart looking with super eye upon the world that know; and into the brightness of whose sky the clouds have not yet come. Youth with its dreams and hopes which light up the future with a soft and tender glow that lures the soul. Youth in the honest pride of its first real triumph as its years of faithful study and patient toll come to re- inges with the tremens and pearly of life. Truly it must be a cold and sluggish pulse that does not quicken at such point of contact with the young in the gladness of the morning Life is a long and serious journey, the path of which is not always straight. Sometimes subtle perils, sometimes lonely battles and many an aching wound. Therefore, let us stand upon our feet, find our own way and depend on our own soul. The weary world hath need of these Doth bitternes within abide, Shut fast the door and hold the key." The possibilities of destiny as they trail out into the future are widely separated. The varities of character are so diverse. The multitudinous paths of life are so vagrant. For the aged the question of a beautiful life can be little more than an Academic discussion. For them, the issue is past. No power human or divine, can bring back these dread years. It is strange then, we feel the pathos of this hour. As we think of life in hidden years and wonder what sort it shall be still before us. The totality of it and all the possible glory of it. Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone, but if it die it beareth much fruit. To live for the good we may do, To make someone's heart happier, To make someone's character stronger To live and so make use of our success, as to make it of value to the common good. Vision before victory; with the Lord as the perfect interpretation of immoral living, whose life stands alone upon its strength and beauty lifted above all, making his life from age to age as fadeless in its glory, as the brightness of the sun. Not wealth, luxury nor self-inclusion, not earthly fame and honor, we cannot trust the human sentiment around you or even the opinion of your most intimate friends, but to give a vision of life as it should be. Sometimes not even our own heart, even in its noblest impulses, where can it be found? Then a we finish life's unknown journey, consecrate ourselves to the common good, go forth to win by his power, we cannot fail and have planted the seeds in endless cycle, as perpetual memorial of the friendly traveler, who passed that way with his heart and hand, always ready to help his fellow; when we shall have scaled the ladder of fame and have mounted the topmost round, then "Let us still be up and doing, With a hand for any fate Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait."

The tax payers of Topeka do not care to be burdened with another bond proposition for city ownership or anything at the present time for the reason that they are now overburdened with taxes and can hardly pay them as times are hard and money is scarce and the taxes are almost confiscatory now. There are those unprogressive citizens in all cities and towns who are nothing but agitators, consumers and non-producers who are continually lying in wait to hinder the progress of business concerns where they live and feast upon and when they can not do so, they try to effect some nefarious scheme to cause large sums of money to be spent and burden the tax payers from their senseless agitation. A delegation called upon the commissioned government last Monday with a petition filed by two or three thousand people asking that the city build an electric light plant, without first counting the cost and summing up where the money was coming from to maintain such a plant and whether it would be possible and without considering the corporation who has spent millions of dollars in building up a good sensible plant. Thousands of dollars is being spent in taxes to maintain this city; and if we continue to bond the profitor and lose the taxes that the corporations are paying it will not be long before this city government will be unable to pay their interests less more the principal. We hope the commissioners will consider this proposition in a good business like manner and if there is anything wrong with the corporations, it can be adjusted in such a manner as will please the progressive citizens of Topeka and save thousands of dollars to tax payers. The Topeka Street Railway and Edison Company are invaluable assets to the city and whenever the street cars and light departments are not treating the people right all they have to do is complain to the Board or City Commissioners or take it up with the company themselves and all the differences can be adjusted without calling upon the tax payers to vote bonds for extravagance and nonsense to please petty street fakers. AMANDA SMITH DEAD. The passing of Amanda Smith, of the Harvey, Ill., orphanage, was a regretful occurrence of a few days ago. She was better known to those of a generation or so ago than to the people of today. We are safe in saying that many who considered themselves acquainted with her did not really know who or what this woman was until a part of her remarkable history showed up in her biography following as an incident to her death. Amanda Smith had a remarkable career, such as has been equalled by no other colored woman living or dead. In some respects is was similar to that of Frederick Douglass. In some respects she even surpassed that most accomplished Negro. Both were slaves; both were born in Maryland; they were practically self-made. Mrs. Smith had less education than Douglass, but vastly more experience as a lecturer and a traveler. Douglass was well received in Great Britain, where he lectured throughout the country. She visited, lectured and preschel the gospel and temperance in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Ind'a, Japan and Africa. Perhaps no other Negro, woman or man, has had a similar experience. In Fearl J. M. Smith spoke under the auspices of the W. C. T. U.. She was patronized by crowned heads and titled people. Her program of tribute of three months in London and Liverpool became one of twelve years to great was her popularity and success. Through it all it is nowhere said that she became proud and vain owing to her successes. In fact, it seems that she lived too obcarly when coming to America—her light was 'hid' en up or a bead. As it were Aman'a Smith on coming to America, she is still and faith in which she was schooled during her many years of life, she was truly philanthropical. She brought with her several thousand dollars, her total earnings. This she put in the orphanage at Harvey, Ill., which bears her name. Her struggle to maintain this institution is very well known to The Freeman. She wrote us letters and articles, and of such a benign and sweetly nature that the heart went Like so many of our race, we did not know her real life, nor did we know it until she, passed from among us. "Full many a flower is born to bliss unseen and lose its sweetness on the deser's air." We feel to say this of her as a most fitting tribute for one who was born to the purple of literary fellowship, and yet went out without our due recognition. How ever, when she wrote to us we were stirred to our depths, responding out of a fullness of respect called forth merely by her happy thoughts and words. We wondered what manner of woman is this? But no bird sang her praises, no chronicler told the story of her life. And now at this time, after her death, we feel, like so many who fail to do their whole duty to worthiness when living, that we offended her even though we were unusually gracious in the consideration of her. But she kept her history to herself. We had no cue beyond her motherly messages that seemed to call to the mothers dead to stand up. live and talk again, and to increase the halo about the heads of those mothers living. Her institution won the attention of both races. In later years others came to her assistance in managing the orphanage. Thus she was relieved of much of the harder work of getting funds together. Her life and fortune were spent in the work of race salvation; no truer philanthropist has ever lived. She was poor enough in money resources as compared with those popular, known as philanthropists, but she was rich in spirit beyond compare. At the ripe age of seventy-eight years she went to her greater reward than the plaudits of earth creatures. Her remains were carried to Chicago for the funeral service which was held at Quinn Chapel church, and then back to Harvey, Ill., where they will rest near the living, actual, useful monument carved out by her own hands.—Indianapolis Freeman. Prof. Booker T. Washington is making a great effort in educating the race along lines of sanitation and health and he wants during the week of March 21 to 27 to combat that great monster, consumption, which at this time seems to be slaying thousands of people. It is the duty of everybody to clean up their yards, alleys and dingy rooms and properly ventilate their homes, etc. It is the duty of all the ministers in this country to preach a sermon on this proposition. Mr. Washington is very solicitous that the colored population all over the United States get busy and preach on Cleaniness next to Godliness. PREJUDICE INVADES DISTANT HONOLULU. Colored Soldier is Discriminated Against Almost a9 Meanly A8 In the South—Twenty-fifth Regiment, Colored, Is Stationed There. Cleveland, Ohio. (From J.W. Hayes in Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, Feb. 20, 1915.)—Although serving directly under the Stars and Stripes, backed by a perfect military record in the wars which this country has passed through, although now among the best disciplined of the Yankee troops, the Colored regiments of the United States army are continually meeting manifestations of prejudice. It is indeed very apparent here, for the Colored soldier is confronted with discrimination just about the same as the Colored civilian in the South and in many parts of the North. Mortover, the spirit of antipathy among the military authoritie's here seems to be tolerated by those in command with pleasure. The Twenty-fifth Infantry, which is stationed at Schofield barracks, has caused a great deal of embarrassment to the white regiments located here because of their ability to do some things that members of the various white regiments preceding them had told the natives they could not do. This regiment of Colored troops leads the other regiments located in this vicinity in many respects and the members of it are a credit to the race they represent. Besides being the best disciplined body of soldiers and giving the authorities lea't trouble to the others, it has the honor of possessing the best baseball team and the best military band. The Twenty fifth infantry stands first in everything in the way of entertainment. Uncle Sam should be proud of this body of soldiers, but of course consideration must be given to the fact that they are Negroes Capt. Iving of the Philippines constabulary hard passed through Honolulu recently with his former quota of musicians 110 strong. While here he gave a concert in honor of Gov. Punnham. So well pleased were his heavens that the citizens of Honolulu persuaded him to give another concert before leaving for San Francisco, where he is to participate in Company B of the Twenty-fifth infantry had quits an exciting experience on last Tuesday. The entire company partook of a veritable sauer kraut feast and as a result everyone was poisoned. Proper medical attention was given, however, and fortunately no one died. The Twenty-fifth infantry is now in Honolulu taking part in the Mid-Pacific Carnivah They will return to Schofield barracks on March 2. COMBAT THE MONSTER: CONSUMPTION. One of the things that the Nationa. Negro Health Week, March 21st to 27th, is intended to do is to spread information concerning how it is possible to keep from having consumption. For a long time is was supposed that consumption was inherited and incurable. It is now found that this is not true. Consumption is a disease that is acquired and with proper care can be cured. It is hoped, therefore, that in connection with Health Week, special meetings will be held in every locality at which physicians and other competent persons will instruct the people how to combat this sorgee of the race. 600,000 Negroes of Present Population Will Die From Consumption It is estimated that of the ten million Negroes now living in the United States, six hundred thousand, or sixteen out of every hundred, will die of consumption. On the other hand, it is estimated that one fourth of these six hundred thousand persons, or one hundred and fifty thousand, can by means of preventive methods be saved. Help Us Save This 150,000. Many things are necessary to overcome this monster, for consumption is a disease of poverty and is spread by bad houses, insanitary methods of life, carelossness and excesses. But of all things that help to overcome consumption, nothing is so important as abundant fresh air. Do you sleep in a room where you keep the windows tightly closed in cold weather? Do you keep out fresh air because it may "chill" you? Do you work in a room or a shop where the air can not enter? If so, you are hazarding your life and inviting death. Open your windows and keep them open at all times, especially during the hours of sleep. If you have not cover enough to keep you warm in cold weather, save money and buy it, for ample cover, permitting you to sleep with your windows open will do more for your good health than all the medicine you buy. If you want to live, and to keep from having consumption, live with your windows open! (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President, National Negro Business League. Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Mar. 8, 1915. SOME REASONS FOR HAVING A NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK. Under the call of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Booker T. Washington, President, preparations are going forward in all parts of the country, in the South, particularly, for carrying out the suggestions which have been outlined by Dr. Washington and his Executive Committee for the observance of National Negro Health Week. The particular reason for asking the Negro people of the country to observe National Negro Health Week are set forth in a bulletin statement just issued and which follows. Dr. Washington writes: 1. We are asking the colored people of the nation to unite in observing a National Negro Health Week in the belief that in carrying out the suggestions outlined below they will be doing the best possible service to themselves and to the race. Many diseases are spread from the sick to the well by means of germs that come from the sick person. These germs find their way into filth and waste and reach the bodies of well persons to whom they give the disease. 2. Diseases Most Fatal to Negroes: The following are the diseases most fatal to Negroes: Disease, of in farces from which 27 per cent of all deaths among Negroes occur; tuberculosis from which 19 per cent of all Negroes die; pneumonia, 11 per cent of all their deaths; disease of the heart, 8 per cent of all their deaths; Brights Disease, 7 per cent of all their deaths; Diarrhea, 8 per cent of all their deaths. 3. Disease Exact Their Greatest Toll From the Young: The disease which annually sweep away such large numbers of our people exact their greatest toll of tables and children and of our young men and women, who being in the very prime of life, constitute, economically and intellectually, the most valuable asset for the future progress of our race. Why so, the demand of the device is sufficient to warrant us, that it is the best COMB for purposes on the market, when used, never to be without the splendid device. They are marvelously in evidence in thousands of homes throughout the country, and all are favorably impressed with the beneficial influences derived therefrom. Why so, a combination of metals assimilated, and when heated will produce the effect so much desired.

Instead of these persons living and doing service as leaders of the masses of our people, they give their lives a useless toll to death. Our only remedy for this fearful drain is the pick and flower of our young manhood and manhood is a wide spread incubation of the habit of clean surroundings and clean living. A suggestive or outlined program will be issued very soon, the purpose being to ask various communities to take copies of this outline program and have it reprinted in their various communities, under the auspices of the several co operating agencies so that a definite program for getting results may be followed in each community where National Negro Health Week is observed.

Mr. Brooks Lane of Iola, Kansas Deputy District Organizer of K. of P. was in Tonche last week on busi-ness pertaining to that order. Dr. S. H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor of Kansas jurisdiction has commi-sioned him to set up new lodges and also to strengthen the lodges over the jujurification by visiting them and assisting in adding members. Mr. Lane set up a lodge at Ottawa last week which will be one of the strongest in Kansas. He says he finds the order improving and growing rapidly everywhere that he has been; and that the members have great faith in Dr. Thompson, who is moving heaven and earth to make the order one of the strongest and best in the land. better than to nominate and elect Mr. John Wright as a member of the school board. He is a tireless worker and a lover of Topeka and her progress and we hope the citizens of Topeka will give him their undivided support and elect him to this office. Wheat in Salt Lake City, and want a nice place to eat and rest, stop at Leonard Jackson, 148, S. 4th St., West. We are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Wm. Cooley, who died at New York, Feb. 27th past. He was born in Topeka and was a brother to John Cooley of Lincoln, Nebr. The Cooley family was one of the first to settle in Topeka. Will Cooley was employed in the Ripley Laundry which was located on Jackson St., between 6th and 7th, about thirty years ago. He was then considered one of the best collar and cuff laundrers of the West. He was always a lover of music and was one of the chief musicians in the city of New York at the time of his death. He had lived at New York for the past eighteen or twenty years and would have been 47 years old on the 28th day of Feb. he had lived to see it. Mr. Ed Johnson, one of Topeka's boys, who was a magician and known as Black Carl, superintended the funeral. The many friends of Mr. Cooley regret to hear of his demise. The funeral was held from the J. Coleman establishment, New York City. --- Hon George K. Williams, Registrar of Western University, and editor of "The University Pen Point," a neat, attractive little school paper, and Mr. William N. Steel, instructor of printing in that institution, were in the city Saturday and Sunday of last week. The former to visit his wife, who is a guest at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Chiles and the latter to visit Mrs Lucile Jordan, who is stopping at the home of her sister, Mrs. Minnie Chiles. Mr. Steele has the "ear marks" ye old school printers, and the Plain dealer boys enjoyed his presence very much. $I_3$ comes from the Old South—a graduate of Tuskegee, and to speak truthfully, this writer believes he is the only man to possess sufficient knowledge of the printing business to "teach" excepting our time honored friend, John C. Wood, now in California, the institution ever had. However, it remains to be seen and its up to Mr. Steele to bear us out in this statement. --- The many friends and acquaintances of W. H. Lucas, the photographer, were pained to learn of his death. He died at the home of his mother, 114 Harrison at the age of 39, from a complication of diseases, and has been ailing for the past two years. The funeral was held from St. John A. M. E. church of which he was a member. Exodus lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. had charge of the funeral as he had been a member of that lodge for several years. Mr. Lucas was an upright, conscientious young business man and there are very few men in his line of business who profited by the business as much as he. The citizens of Topeka were proud of him, as he did excellent work. His photograph gallery was on Kansas Ave., east side, between 1st and 2nd, where he had been located for years and was making a success. Stonestreet and Son, the undertakers said that it was the finest casket that has ever been furnished from their establishment since they have been in business; it was of golden leaf sawed oak. Remains were interred at Mount Auburn cemetery. The New Racket Store 921 Kansas Avenue.

One of the most enjoyable affairs witnessed in Topka this season was the birthday party given by Mr. Ed Wright at his comfortable home, 121 Van Buien street. The house was beautifully and appropriately decorated for the occasion and twenty odd guests were received and entertained in a royal manner. Truly, it was the most elaborate affair witnessed in Topka in many years. Mr. Wright is notel for not doing things by alarms, but always insists upon the best and most fashionable that can be obtained. The luncheon consisted of all the good things of the season. The tallies glossed under their load of good things, and all enjoyed a feast fit for a king. Mr. Wright would not tell his age, but he looked and acted like a kill of sixteen years, and his wife, who is a splendid cook --- happy Mr. Wright has the good plans of many handsome and useful gifts, and after reveling in music, games and conversation until a late hour, all departed for their several homes feeling good to have been there and wishing Mr. Wright many more such happy birthdays. Miss Isabel Carrol of Manhattan, who has been in the city for the past week was a guest at the meeting of the Carnation Art club. --- The Kewpie Klub met with the vice president, Mr. Wm. Queenry, 1933 Harrison St. Business of importance was transacted. The next meeting will be with Mr. Earl Rhodes on Lime St. --- The members of the Carnation Art club were entertained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. C. A. Jackson at her home, 1212 Washington St. After the time of business and work lunch was served and the club adjourned to meet March 24th, at 2:30 with Mrs. Jack Pace, 1039 Woodard Ave. All members are requested to be present, Mrs. John Williams, reporter.

I shall apply to the Probate Court sitting at the Court House in the City of Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas, for a full and final settlement of said estate and for an order of the Court finding and adjuging who are the heirs of Joseph Martin, deceased SPENCER E. HALL, Administrator. ASHBURY M. E. CHURCH. (Rev. Walton Brown. Pastor.) 837 N. Van Buren St. Asbury is closing out its second year, March 28th, fourth Sunday, under the present pastor. All eyes are turned to Asbury for something of great magnitude on this day, and it will be a big day, with a big program, with the best talent in Topeka. Read the program in the next issue of the Plaindealer. Mrs. Ella Lee Watson entertained the Ladies' Aid Society in a profitable style, Friday afternoon. Mrs. Watson served a nice luncheon. The young folks of Asbury led by Mrs. T. Rutherford is giving one of the most up to date plays of the season, Friday evening at 8 P. M., at Asbury, March 26; admission is 10 cents. Mrs. L. Chambers has been among the indisposed for the last few days, also Mrs. Fannie Campbell. The special services in the afternoon on the third Sunday are looked to with much interest. The subject on church federation to be discussed by Rev. Ross is looked forward to with the keenest interest. Rev. J. M. Brown presides, Rev. Martin delivers the sermon. The public is discussing the service much. Don't fail to encourage the service with your presence. The pastor is delivering special sermons each Sunday at 11 A. M. The Sunday School as usual was well attended Sunday. The teachers are giving splendid service. The officers and pastor feel themselves congratulated upon having the work of the church in nice shape for the annual conference. It is generally known that Rev. Brown, during his eighteen years in the pastorate never makes a bad report to an annual conference. Why he succeeds is because he begins his work the first day after the adjournment of the conference. Mrs. Sarah Bradford entertained the Excelsior club last Thursday evening. She made the evening pleasant for the club. Mr. A. Hayes, son of Rev. H. Hayes, is attending the annual conference here and on business. He is one of the clerks of the Methodist Book Concern. He is stopping with Mr. and Mr. Lewis Smith 926 A. Mallison street. He is also spending some of his time with Rev. Walton Brown. You will notice in the program for the fourth Sunday in the afternoon Union service that the following four pastors will appear on the program and their congregations have been invited to escort them; Rev. N. L. Smith, Rev. G. W. Henry, Rev. G. D. O'Den, Rev. C. E. Claggett and also the many friends of Ashbury will ringed with great care. You will notice that the department of the church will be represented and you will have a chance to hear just how each department leader has done their work. ST. MARK A. M. E. CHURCH (Rev. W. M. Martin, Pastor) The people say they, don't understand why such a jubilation had taken place at St. Mark, but if they would only stop and realize what the blessed Savior said while here, they would have no need to wonder. For he meant what he said, when he instilled in the hearts of his followers, the thought, that "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me." In spite of the snow storm and very inclement weather we have not had room to accommodate the people from three to seven times a week. We have had many of the most prominent people of the city and state to worship with us, and to take a part in all our programs. Among the many were Hon. Nick Chiles, Prof. Wade, who knows how to deliver the goods, Hon. U. S. Guy and his commendable wife, Mr. and Mrs. Overton and I wish to thank Mrs. Overton very much for the excellent paper she read to us at the Stewarts banquet. Oh How our hearts burned when Judge Guy talk to us, such is the character of this man. Rev. J. R. Ransom, D. D. of Kansas City, Kansas who is always a welcome visitor, Rev. Smith, the Preiding Elder of the Kansas City District, who has members on both sides of the creek, that is always glad to see him when he comes to town. Dr. Louis Ransom who delivered to us a most able address and Mrs. T. G. Ward, the wife of Rev. Ward, who presided at cre of the gatherings with dignity. Such is the character of this good lady. The Hon. John Wright and wife worshipped with us last Sunday and spoke many encouraging words pertaining to the work done by the young folks as well as the old The Dramatic club led by Master Berlit Hatton pulled off one of the swell scenes last Friday night that we have seen for some time. They had a full house and it was amusing to all and was a success in every way. This was the character of these excellent young people of this place The charming lady in the play who occupied the automobile made by the handicraft of Mr. Archie James was Miss Willa Mae Martin Sunday services, March 21, 1915: 10 A. M., Sunday school, Mrs. Fannie Daniels, superintendent; 11 A. M., preaching by Rev. J. W. Waltron, D. D., of Holton, Kansas, a member of the Kansas conference. 3 P. M., sermon by the Rev. N. L. Smith, pastor of Lane Chapel, Topeka. 7 P. M., Epworth League, Miss Essie Wielley, president. 8 P. M., sermon by Rev. N. J. Adams, A. M., Whiting Kansas, a member of the Kansas conference. The public is cordially invited to attend, Rev. I. W. H. Terrell, pastor. In year to come when supple limbs will have grown stiff and those who are now bent with age, will have gone to their long sought Home. Sunday at St. John church will long be remembered The day dawned rather gloomy, nevertheless at the appointed hour for service, the pews were rapidly filled. Being quarterly meeting, the Presiding Elder, Rev. King was present and delivered the sermon; no chose for his text, the 11th chapter, 21st verre of Paul's letter to the Hebrews, Rev. King preached an excellent sermon in which he spoke of the faithfulness of Jacob and how Jacob in his old age, brought forth fruit. He emphasized the facts that we wonder why our spiritual strength is not renewed when we fail to reverence our God. And often when supplication l being made to Him, many there are who in the non-devotion fail to even bow their heads. The Presiding Elder exhorted his listeners to worship God in body as well as spirit and in thanksgiving for deliverance from the dangers of life; and like Jacob, to let Christ be our companion in life, and in death the Savior will be near. The funeral services of Mr. Lucas were held at the church at 1 o'clock, Rev. Brown delivered the sermon. The Odd Pellows were in charge. The afternoon services were indeed interesting. Rec. C. Craggett of the Christian church delivered an able sermon taken from the 16th chapter of Matthews and the large audience received showers of blessings as Rev. Craggett, filled with the Holy Ghost, poured forth the scripture. Fifteen ministers communed at St. John and over two hundred followers.

MISSOURI. More Rag Dolls Would Leaseen Divorce, Professor McKeever Says. A Thorough Knowledge of Human Nature Would Serve Them Far Better in Life Than Higher Mathematics, He Believes. Old fashion playthings for "little sister," rag dolls, toy dishes—even a baby brother—these Prof. William A. McKeever prescribes as the first step in correcting the divorce evil. He would teach human nature and elementary psychology to the girls of 16 instead of forcing her to take higher mathematics and foreign languages. "While the divorce mill grinds on six days in the week," said Professor McKeever in his lecture to the Kansas City School of Social Service yesterday. "We continue to increase its grist in the future by useless and unnatural forms of training for our growing girls. Many of our young women are being led to the marriage altar without any knowledge as to what constitutes a good man. "We force the high school and college girls to take long courses in higher algebra, geometry and foreign languages and other such stuff, while we slowly starve out of their nature those beautiful fennine activities for which their hearts are instinctively hungry. "A homemade rag doll is ten times more valuable as a plaything for a little girl than the highest priced Teddy Bear on the market. Toy dishes, make believe housekeeping and taking care of baby brothers or sisters are naturally dearer to the heart of the 10 year old girl than the frills and furbelows with which so many wish to bedeck her. Teach Her To Know Men. "When a girl is 16, cut out the higher mathematics and the other abstractors until after she has completed a thorough course in elementary psychology and human nature and in what constitutes preparedness for marriage. Teach her how to judge men. Take her into the merits of a thousand successful and a thousand unseccussful marriages and teach her to know what to accept and what to shun in the personalities of the young men who come to court her."—Exchange. KANSAS DEMOCRAT FOR RECORDER OF DEEDS, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. A. D. Griffin, the well known color ed Kansas newspaper man has a boom throughout the state for the appointment to the office of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Griffin has always been a Democrat and for many years has been connected with the Topeka Plaindealer, the leading colored paper of the West. He is an able man and as this appointment always goes to a colored man, his appointment to this place would meet with the unanimous endorsement of Kansas Democracy. Good men from a number of states are in this contest, but we dare say that none of them are beber qualified to hold the position than our Kansas newspaper man, A. D. Griffin, of Topeka.—Exchange. NEGRO JOURNALIST AFTER OF FICE; WICHITA FRIENDS BOOST HIM. A. D. Griffin, of Topeka, a colored newspaper man and orator, is a candidate for the place of Recorder of Deed for the District of Columbia. This office has been held by men of his race much of the time in the past, and the colored people of Kansas want to see Mr. Griffin land the job. Mr. Griffin is a Democrat and now holds a place on the board of trustees of Western University at Quindaro, having received his appointment from former Governor Hodges. Mr. Griffin was in Wichita Friday in the interest of his cardiology.—The Wichita Beacon. DOES LEGISLATION IN AN EFFORT TO PROJECT WHITE WOMEN, legislators in the different states find themselves gifting up nights staining bills to be enacted into laws. In Montana in this was introduced which if passed would prohibit the employment of white girls with China, Japanese or colored girls. The bill makes it unlawful for any employer of labor or his agent to employ or associate in employment men of the colored or Asiatic race with any woman of the white or Caucasian race in any kind of industry or business operated for a coin. The usually attached for violation is a fine of from $50 to $100 in imprisonment in the county jail for thirty days, or both. The and imprisonment in the discretion of the court and jury. Perhaps there is rewa reed reason for such a law. surely intelligent men would use a measure just for the sake of having something to do, not would they do go out of mere prejudice, for our law makers, let it be known, are men of high caliber, men with brains who have both social and political standing in the community from whence they came. We must lay askle these reasons and look for others. American women have more advantage and privilege, are more independent and have more self reliance than do women of any other country. With these superior qualities it is reasonable to suppose that they are perfectly able to protect themselves. Yet their "Lords of Creation" seem to attribute to them weaknesses and qualities befitting children in swaddling clothes. What little respect they have for their mentality, what a premium do they put upon the charms of alien races, since they must legislate to protect their women even from contact. What think the women of such a system of espionage and being bulwarked against their inalienable rights even against the demands of their own God-given natures? According to this newfangled law our young women cannot have association where gain is involved, surely these wise legislators are putting money above morals. They can go to the deepest depths together in inumorality and nothing restrict them. Certainly then the law must be aimed + close the door of hope upon colored girls since they must seek employment which is generally under the supervision of white management. The shame of the Caucasian is that they cannot expect the morality of their women to protect itself.—Chicago Defender. THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE THE KANSAS SENATE has just put itself on record as being the most narrow minded body of men ever gathered to make laws for a great state. After boosting the appropriations of every white state institution they turn to The Topeka Industrial Institute and the Western University, schools devoted to the education of our race, and make extensive cuts, this too, in spite of the fact that the House passed favorably on the bills and that they had made a ten per cent increase in salaries and maintenance for all other schools. Senator F. C. Price objected to the senate Ways and Means Committee's reductions in appropriation and almost a straight party division of the senate occurred when they voted upon his motion to increase the appropriation by $2500 a year. It was carried by a vote of 20 to 15, six Democratic Senators joining with the Republicans in voting for the increase. Even with this it left the total amount of the senate bill $2,000 below the house's figures. Senator Shouse, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, denied that they had considered the color question in fixing the figures for these two schools, but up to the present has offered no other reason. It is hard to conceive of intelligent men stooping to such a level, the money they were parecling out came from the taxpayers of the state and since these reason why they should not receive as much support and consideration as any of the other seats of learning. Because of his dark skin, the tax collector shows the colored man no more leniency than he shows the white man, but these unfair legislators think it smart to deprive him of his just deserts simply because of prejudice and because they have the power. To keep a bit of learning from the colored man seems to be the aim and purpose of some narrow individuals, but in the language of the street "what it takes to get education we got it."—Chicago Defender. YALE, KANSAS. Mr. Geo. White is still on the sick list. Mrs. Maggie Crawford who has been sick for the past week is some better. Mrs. Ella Maple is still on the sick list, also Mrs. Minnie Moore. Mr. Geo. Baker who has been sick for the past few days is reported some better. Miss Easter Heaton who spent several days in Pitt burg with her sister during illness has returned.

The work is picking up here now. They are having four days a week, while before they were only having two.
