THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Improvident Negro who Neglected his Coal House to Coast Down Sunshine Hill must Walk Back and Drag his Sled MATCHES AND DYNAMITE FOR GEORGIA'S LYNCHERS Blacks Must Meet the Devil With His Own Fire! While the Law Quietly Sleeps the Good of Both Races Must Defend Right. Notwithstanding the modern civilization of the American white man; surrounded by wealth, education and everything to make one happy—notwithstanding all these things, in the South he is lynching and outraging colored people on mere pretenses. The telegraph tells of a mob that hanged five colored men from a single tree; claiming they had killed an officer about a month previous. It was nothing more than suspicion and the fact that someone had to die, they selected five defenseless colored men, "charged" the crime up to them and proceeded to take their lives without granting them an opportunity to prove their guilt or innocence. The lynching took place in Lee County, Ga., but the men were taken to Sylvester, Worth County for safe keeping. This is only a few miles from Leesburg, the county seat, and a half hour's ride via auto. Now since the Governor of the state nor the officers of the law give no protection (colored people and Jews) but seem to work in conjunction with mobs, there ought to be a law passed as in Kansas, Ohio and other states; making the county liable for damages to the family of the victim, and the sheriff loses his office. Now, if the governor of Georgia and other officers of the law desire to break up lynching they would enact such a law, see that it was enforced and this lawlessness would cease. Men who commit such acts have no respect for the laws of God or man and are unfit to dwell upon earth, but should be treated as serpents. However, so long as the governor and lawmaking bodies in the South fail to enact laws that will break up this lynching, it will continue to grow. The crimes that are being committed in Georgia and other states South, should be charged up to the governors and the legislatures as they are responsible for the enactment and enforcement of all laws. The second proposition is that if the officers allow such outrages to be carried on against colored people and Jews, or anyone else; it is the duty of citizens to organize collectively or work individually to break up these lynchers and marauders by resorting to any and everything to put them out of existence, and whatever property they may own. They are worse and far more dangerous than serpents and should be treated as such. They have no standing in decent communities and should be swept off the earth. Not only them, but their possessions and all that they control. It is the duty of every individual who knows a member or members of such bands, to go about in a quiet way and if they own any property (seeing the law will not act) they should destroy it and see that not a vistage of anything of value is left. They should not be allowed to own a home or any property of any character. When people commit crimes of such character as mentioned they are lawless criminals and should be driven from the community. The good citizens when once they learn of these persons could soon put an end to them, especially where the governor and other officers of the law fail to give protection. It has become to be a common occurrence in Georgia to take college men and Jews from jails and penal institutions and lynch and burn them without the slightest cause. Now it is time for the lawabiding colored and white people to get together and put out of existence those who resort to mob violence and like the Mexicans—stand off and "snipe" them. Georgia has a white population of 1,431,802 and colored, 1,176,987, the whites are just in a small majority. The colored people are the bone and sinew of the state and are the producers; and we are at loss to know why they sit idly by and permit a few renegades and lawbreakers to take their men from jails and lynch, burn and perpertrate other outrages upon them. Out of that number of whites, about one-third are of a lawless nature 'ahil should be driven from existence. There are enough Negroes and Jews to have kept them from lynching Leo Frank or anyone else. They could drive the lawless element into the sea—not by force of arms, but by using strategy and good judgment, and when they once find out where this class of white men exist they should organize at once to get them out of the way. There is no reason why this class of white people should be allowed to exist in any state. The good class of whites should join with the blacks and put these lynchers off the earth and destroy everything they possess. If the proper method was resorted to there would be no time or need for state militia to act for it would keep the citizens of each county busy protecting their own property instead of going to other counties looking for Negroes to lynch There should be concerted action and everything started at once. There is not another class of citizen in the world who would stand to be lynched and burned without defending themselves. Mobs have no regard for law and the people would be justified in doing anything to put them out of business. Georgia seems to have the worst element of mean white people in the world. We thought Texas was bad enough but Georgia seems to have made the Lone Star State hide her face in shame when it comes to lynching Negroes and Jews. In Lee county, where these men were lynched, there are 9,982 colored people and 1,687 whites. There are enough women and children to drive this lawless element which is about one-third of the white population of the country. Now if the colored citizens have any moral courage of conviction, they could quietly have their women and children to assist in destroying any and all of these lynchers whenever they start on their missions of lawlessness. They will expose themselves and it will be an easy matter to get a line on who they are, and it would be nothing out of the way to put them and their property out of existence. If this method was resorted to, it would not take long to stop the lynching and burning of Negroes in the South. If the officers of the law do not und will not protect you inyour and will not protect you in your selves, and it will not take guns or ammunition to do it. Matches and dynamite are cheap and everything is fair in war. Fight the devil with TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 28, 1916 his own fire and with such tactics you will capture his fort. Let the colored men who boast of their great wealth and education and want liberty and happiness, rise up in the pulpit and in the press and demand that this class of white people who burn and lynch their race be put out of existence. It has to be stopped and we know of no other method save that above mentioned. There are now white men in the South living openly and notoriously with colored women and rearing families and nothing is being said about it nor are the men who enforce the laws doing anything to stop this evil. On the other hand, if a colored man is charged with looking at a white woman he is hanged or burned at the stake. Here is another place where the blacks and lawbiding whites should raise up in their might and drive every white man from their midst who is guilty of such an act. Another thing, the colored people should resort to the ballot box. They will never get their rights in the South until men are elected to office who have Christian hearts and who believe that all men are images of God and have a right to live and pursue any course that will make a community better and a good country in which to live. At the coming election they should offer themselves to register and at the polls to vote and if they are intimidated they should contest the election. They should offer candidates for office who will enforce the law equally to everybody. The election of Congressmen and United States Senators is a very important matter at this time and if the election is not honestly conducted, the defeated aspirant can take the matter before Congress and thereby defeat the candidate who was elected by fraud and also the managers of the election will be imprisoned. If the people will get it into their heads that God created them all and they have same right to live as anybody else and are going to live if anybody does, they will soon bring things to pass that will make life easy where it is now a burden to the colored people who are struggling to succeed and lead a decent life It is strange how this government can take up the crimes committed in Mexico on Americans and cannot see the outrages committed on their own citizens in this country. Now the American white man who goes to Mexico to invest in mines, oil and land knowing at the same time that they are at war among themselves in that country and Americans have been warned to keep out, but at the same time a few will brave the conditions and go anywhere for a dollar and when they are murdered by Mexicans, this country goes into fury and is ready to send the whole army into Mexico and clean out the country for a few inferior whites whose aim is to rob and steal from the Mexicans. We should clean up our own country and see that Americans are protected here as well as in other countries. This lynching business should be stopped and the government can do it if they give the matter as much concern as they do the affairs of Mexico. Mexico is for Mexicans and America should be for Americans be they white or black. Let the people take on new courage and begin to act for themselves. "CHIEF" 'SAM HELD IN AFRICA Manslaughter. One of the Charges Against the Negro Leader. New York, Jan. 27—Chief Alfred T. Sam, who, with a party of about Wylie Cook for State Treasurer M. WYLIE COOK, Republican Candidate for Nomination for State Treasurer. slxty Negro followers, smiled from Galveston, Texas, two years ago, on the steamship Liberia for the Gold Coast of Africa, where he proposed to set up a Negro colony, is being held by the British authorities in Africa on several charges, chief of which is manslaughter, according to Mrs. William Lewis of Galveston, a member of the party, who arrived here today on the Cymric from Liverpool. On the voyage from Galveston to the Gold Coast, which was reached about the middle of November, Wylie Cook for Mr. Wylie Cook, Assistant State Treasurer of the great State of Kansas, has announced himself as a candidate for State Treasurer, subject to the Republican primary next August. 'Mr. Cook is one of Kansas' loyal and industrious citizens and a good Republican, a man who has always fought for Kansas and the uplift of her citizens. He was born in Indiana and reared on a farm, where he worked well until he became a young man and came to Kansas in 1881, where he continued as a farmer boy. He has worked hard all his life, both in the field and in clerical positions. He is 56 years of age and is a WYLIE COOK, Republican Candidate grandfather, but in appearance he looks like a man of 35 years. He was county clerk of Labette county, and was Assistant State Auditor under the late George Cole, who was one of Kansas' leading and loyal business men and Republicans. Mr. Cook was in the banking business at Kansas City for a number of years and served as chief of police of that city. When appointed of Assistnnt Treauer under Mr. Earl "The Birth of a Nation!" We congratulate the censor board of Kansas for stopping the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" in this state. The Superintendent of Public Instruction, Attorney General, Governor and Secretary of State compose the board, and they have the right spirit for Kansas. It was never intended that Kansas should go back on what she advocates; that is, the rights of her citizens to be protected, and that all citizens are on an equality before the law. We are surprised that so many pretended intelligent white 1914, several of the passengers and crew of the Liberia died from scurvy, among them Mrs. Lewis husband. Upon these deaths is based the charge of manslaughter against "Chief" Sam, according to Mrs. Lewis, who added that the promised reception in Africa had not been arranged and that the natives were apparently hostile. Chief Sam has been arrested in Africa and is now being held for murder and other offenses. We presume his followers will be convinced now that he was a fraud to some extent. or State Treasurer Akers he was serving as commissioner of elections for Kansas City, Kan. He has also served in other minor positions, such as committeeman for his party, and has always been instrumental in supporting someone for office whom he thought was capable and competent, and has always been successful in his undertakings. He has a host of friends all over Kansas, is well known and well acquainted with the leaders of his party. It can be said for him that he never sought any of the appointive offices that he has held in the past, but the positions have sought him, and on several occasions he has refused positions on account of something better, or e for Nomination for State Treasurer. that he did not care to accept. He has proven himself to be so well qualified and efficient to fill any position that he has ever been offered that it is common for him to have an offer made at any time. This speaks well for him and shows that he is an upright, honest, straightforward gentleman who, if elected to the office of Treasurer of Kansas, will fill it with honor and credit. people are so eager to have this inferior picture played, which causes so much prejudice and friction between the races. The play was written by Thomas Dixon, author of "Leopard Spots and "The Clansman," and whose purpose is to degrade the Negro and the Union soldier and boost the "lost cause" of the rebels and portray to the American people that Jeff Davis and his gang were right. The Ku-Klux Klan, organized just after the war in the southern states, was for the purpose of overriding the emancipation of the Negro and the defeat of the rebel army. Colored men were suppressed and murdered by the Ku-Klux Klan because they wouldn't Price $1.50 Per Y bow to the indignities imposed upon the ex-slaves. If Mr. Dixon and his crowd want to be fair about portraying the "birth of a nation," they should start out with Abraham Lincoln emancipating a race, thereby making a new nation on this continent, cementing the North and the South, and eradicating slavery, and thus display the rise of the colored man as well as the rebel soldier who held the slaves in bondage for years. Both factions have improved wonderfully since the war, and a picture of this kind would have been appropriate. Instead of portraying the black soldier trying to outrage a young white girl, he could have pictured the slaves protecting the wives and families of the rebels when the latter were fighting to keep them slaves. Instead of portraying the colored Lieutenant Governor trying to force a white woman to marry him, he could have pictured the thousands of slave-holders who were living in open adultery and raising families by colored women. This shown upon the screen would probably have had a different effect upon the American white man. We hope that all the northern states will stop this outrageous picture of Dixon, who is a hater of the colored race and also of the Union soldier. There is nothing to the picture but immorality, strife and riots. Mrs. Amanda Richard is on the mend again. Mrs. Mary Jane Vining is on the sick list.

The Keystone Hotel, at 7 West Grand avenue, Oklahoma City, owned and managed by that popular hotel man, Mr. R, S. Gillespie, is easily one of the swellest places for the race in the country, and for genuine service and something to eat, cooked right, the Keystone leads. The grill room is especially attractive and the coterie of waiters see to it that you get a run for your money. Everything is modern and the guests are entertained with music while they eat. There are twent-five rooms, sanitary in every respect. It must be given to Mr. Gillespie when it comes to conducting a high class place. The Teachers' Association, which will convene here February 11, will maintain headquarters at this hotel. The Keystone never closes its doors, and we are glad to say that the race are liberal toward same. Mr. Gillespie is a broad-minded fellow, and when your scribe first hit Oklahoma City he sacrificed and went about with him. He is one colored man in business who has a pleasant word for all. In fact, he is a practical business man. It was our pleasure to meet that THE MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE EDITOR C. N. MORAN, THE COUNTY CITY OF CLEVELAND. The Gazette, Oklahoma City, Okla.

As an educator the race has few men who rank ahead of P. of Hilburn. He told us that Langston College, all things considered, was moving along fairly well. This gentleman served as superintendent of the Paul's Valley, Okla., colored city school and Purcell school, and resigned the same to accept his present position.

There are a dozen Negro music teachers in the capital city of Oklahoma, and rapid tribes are being made along this line. Fully 500 colored homes have pianos in them, representing many thousands of dollars.

FORMER TOPEKA PRINTER RE: SPONDS TO THE CALL OF.. “THIRTY.” A bright ang useful life was closed Tuesday of last week. when the great Foreman above sounded the call of “thirty” and the spirit of Mr. Clar- ence E. Langston was wafted to ite Creator, The final “proof” had been corrected, and 0. K. plaved on every line of his “string,” and the call of “thirty” found him bravely waiting to respond. The passing of “Cub,” as he war known among his printer friends, is keenly feit not only among his fel- low craftsmen, dut dy all with whom he chanced to have an acquaintance. It waa a dozen or more years age when young Langston entered the of- fice of The Topeka Plaindealer for the purpose of learning the trade, and the writer gave him his first in- struction in the printer's art. Ie was bright as a dollar, a good writer and learned rapidly. At the end of two years he was able to accept and hold a position on the Lawrence Dnily World, where he remained nearly three years and made good. From there he went to Denver, where he held positions as foreman of some of the best white press rooms in that city. “Cub” was a finshed workman and knew the printing business from every angle, Mr. Langston was a soldier, hav: ing seen service In the Philippines with the famous Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth, After two years of clvilian life, he felt the call of hie country and enlisted in G Troop Tenth cavalry, and made a second trip around the world, Clarence Langston was a son of Mr. D, W. Langston, formerly of this city, but now a resident of Kan- sas City, Mo, He was born in To: peka thirty-two years, ago, where he grew to manhoog and was edu- cated in the public schools. His was a busy life crowned with many bril- Uant achievements of success, and it seems hard to lose him just as he was about to enter the heyday of his manhood and usefulness. However, it Is the will and way of a Divine Providence ang all submit to the in- evitable, It is written that all must die, 50 “be ye slways ready.” Hi was a life of readiness—one that fol. lowed and adhered to the Chris: tlan way, and gloried in the worl jof the Lord. He was a brilliant ac tor upon life's stage and played wel jevery part assigned to him, and a the curtain was rung down upon the closing scene, he bowed his final ex: amid the tears of a host of friend and well wishers who had watchec his young life since he enterec thereon and applaudeg his many acts of love and kindness, and they find consolation in knowing that the world is better on account of his having lived in it. He was out bosom friend, and we mourn with those bereaved. He is survived by his wife, Hitle baby daughter, father, and two sisters, Miss Minnie Lang: ston Todd and Mrs. Lelin Langeton Caldwell, May angels guard his soul. Ls.

Mo., ably assisted by our pastor, Rev. J. E. Smith. The Holy Shoot was stirred up in Chanuba now more. Much was done in bringing souls to Christ. Many fear ones reclaimed their place with the church. We had two wonderful conversions. We are all positive that we had two God-sent ministers with us. We hope to have Rev. Nichols with us again.

Sir William Core. members of District No. 5 are filled with sorrow at the sad bereavement that has defallen our C. G. T. Sir Knight Core. Be is further resolved that we agree that it is eminently flating and proper that in the universal expressions of regret and sorrow which ascends toward heaven from all parts of our jurisdiction, we also should join our voice and testify to the very high sense of respect and admiration which we on this Disarict entertain for our dear departed Daughter. Resolved, that the three greatest words in the English language says one wrtler are "Mother, Home and Heaven." The Mother is gone beyond human illes, temptations and ordeals. What we say here and now will do her no good. If she would reply, for from her voiceless lips there will come no sound but for those that are living let it be said of her that she was kind, and a loving mother, a faithful wife in the home and who will question the fact that what is done in faith reaches beyond the portals of glory, then add to this her good work for Taborlanism, we are compelled to write upon the tablet of our memory these words. "A Noble Life." Sir Knight Core, we commend you to our Heavenly Father, who is near, who will never leave nor forsake those who trust in Him. They say we shall know all our loved ones when we meet on that bright golden shore. They say we shall clap hands so gladly, and together rejoice ever more. Then let us prepare for the journey; let our hearts be kept loyal and true, then the Saviour will watch and protect us until the mansion of heaven we view. Resolved; that a copy of these resolutions he sent our official organ, The Topika Plaindealer and also the bereaved husband, Sir Knight Core. SIR A. M. HARROLD, D. D. G. M. SIR C. M. JOHNSON, G. P.
