THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Notwithstanding the Governor's White-wash, a Foul Odor Around the State Hospital Will Linger Until Biddle is Fired J. R. BURROWS WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH Supporters Say Burrows at Head Means Republican Harmony Throughout State. Mr. J. R. Burrows, president of the Central National Bank, and one of Kansas' most substantial business men, has consented to the wishes of his many friends and will allow them to use his name as a candidate for National Committee of the Republican party from Kansas. Mr. Burrows was formerly secretary of state of Kansas and served two terms. He is very popular and was a good, upright state official. He was one of the leading advisers of the Republican party, and after retiring from the office of secretary of state, he took charge of the Central National Bank, which at that time was almost at low water mark, and from hard and consistent work and careful watching, he has brought the institution to where it is one among the best and most substantial banking houses in the West. He has demonstrated to the world that he is a natural born banker and leader. He is connected with several banks over the state and also one of the largest banks in Kansas City, Mo. He says that he wants, harmony in the ranks of the Republican party this year and consented to allow his name to be used that there be no excuse for not finding more than one candidate for the position of National Committee, therefore it is now up to the Republicans of Kansas to work in harmony and all those who went "Bull Moose" can return to the fold and if they do not care to accept Mr. Mulvane, they can accept Mr. Burrows. Mr. Burrows says that he does not want nor is he seeking the position, but that his friends have showed him wherein the use of his name will serve to bring about Rebublican harmony, and that if there is any thing he likes better than harmony, it is more harmony. Mr. Burrows owns one of the finest suburban homes west of St. Louis and is a very busy man, not only having banking institutions, but has organized a large trust company in connection with the bank which is also succeeding and doing a large business. He can be classed along with such men as J. Pierpont Morgan and other great financiers of this country. STATE BUYS AUTO TAGS. The secretary of state, Mr. Tom Botkin, let the contract this week for the license tags for the motor vehicles to the S. G. Adams Stamp and Stationery Co., of St. Louis, Mo. The contract called for 100,000 auto and motorcycle tags at seven and one-half cents per tag. This firm has received this contract for the past four years straight and the reason for this is that they make the best tags that can be obtained upon the market and also control 25 per cent of the business of the entire country. Mr. Adams represented the firm and he is a gentleman of the Abe Lincoln type, who thinks, much and says but lit- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 25, 1916 per contract, thereby living up to his agreement which makes his firm the most formidable one in the world. Mr. Myers, who has charge of this department is very careful and particular about securing the very best material and workmanship that can be had for Kansas machines and of all the competitors in the past four years, the Adams Co., has outdistanced them, and Mr. Myers thinks that as long as they live up to their agreement in the future, as they have in the past with such reasonable bids, there can be no reason for a change. The Secretary of State and all of his departments are interested in Kansas getting the very best material and results for her citizens. Oklahoma and "Jim Crow!" The Oklaohma legislature has been in session for the past few weeks and just before they closed they enacted an election law intended to disfranchise the colored voters of Oklahoma. There is a certain class of Democrats in this country as well as Oklahoma who do not respect the decisions of the courts. Now the Supreme court of the United States, the highest tribunal in the land has declared that the Grandfather Clause of Oklahoma to be unconstitutional. These same fellows who violated the laws of the United States by enacting and enforcing obnoxious laws against one particular class of people in that state are determined to get into trouble again. We have not raced the text of the law as enacted but we can safely predict that the law will have no effect nor force upon the colored voter of Oklahoma, especially that class of men who care to vote and see that it is counted. It is time that that class of whites are getting their eyes open to the fact that colored men are not going to be bull-dozed or trampled upon because they are law abiding, peaceful and industrious citizens; but they are going to rise up in all their might and glory and demand the same rights at the ballot box and everything that pertains to law that is given all people the same right to enjoy free citizenship and we want that element of whites to know that they are building fire upon their heads when they attempt to disfranchise a class of people who own land and millions of dollars worth of personal property and are tax-payers and supporters of the government of that state. There is no reason why they should be disfranchised or any law enacted to make them feel inferior to any race within the confines of that state and we know the colored people are not going to stand for these outrages any longer. They own too much property as we have already said, and have too much at stake to lay down and allow such an element to override the decision It is plain on the face of the bill offered that it was not satisfactory to a large number of white Democrats as well as Republicans and Socialists and this was demonstrated by the great confusion and caused several "knock-downs and drag-outs" over the discussion and passage of the bill. The Democrats had threatened to bring in a small-pox patient, who was a member of the legislature before they could pass the bill. When they have to resort to such measures to coerce people to vote for things they are not in favor of, then it is time that the good citizens should sit up and take notice and drive this class of people out as they are detrimental not only to themselves, but to a large majority of all citizens and we warn them that if they attempt to force a law of this kind to disfranchise the colored voters; Democratic Congressmen and United States Sonators elected will forselt their respective offices. The law is plain and no man can go to Congress or the Senate by intimidating or defrauding voters. SPRINGFIELD. MISSOURI. The anniversary of the birthday of the father of our country, Geo. Washington, was fittingly observed mostly throughout the city, especially by the public schools.

Mr. Thompson is the right-hand bower of the President and when anything of grave importance is being carried out in the United States Senate, the President always seeks the aid and support of Senator Thompson. Kansas is always proud that she has a son in Congress, irrespective of party that can stand up and represent the state in the front ranks of the nation. Senator Thomson is a lawyer of great ability and recently formed a partnership with Mr. Fred Robertson, U.S. district attorney for Kansas and which firm is now located at Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Thompson is now ironing out all the Democratic differences, and when he returns to Washington, the Kansas Democrats will be in a happy mood and all will work in peace and harmony. FAYEITE, MO. A number of pupils of Lincoln school who have been absent on account of sickness returned Monday and resumed their studies. Miss India Taylor visited her sister, Miss Delia, in Sedalia, Mo., last week. The Needle Craft Club was delightfully entertained at the home of Miss Mittle Hayden by Miss Anna Leonard and Dina Mae Hill. Mrs. Lydia Calloway Taylor, of Moberly, Mo., is here this week visiting relatives and friends. A reception for the pastor and wife, Dr. and Mrs., A. Higgs, was given in the reception room of St. Paul M. E. church on Washington's birthday. The affair was well attended and all seemed to enjoy the occasion. The many colored friends of Mr. R. W. Eaton, former chief of police will be pleased when they read in The Plaindealer that he has finally consented to permit his name to be presented at the coming primaries as a Republican candidate for Sheriff of Shawnee county. Mr. Eaton is one of the best qualified men for the office in Shawnee county. He is young, active, well educated, and has plenty of experience along this line of work. It was while serving as chief of police that Eaton came into the spot light and proved that he was the right man in the right place, and it was not long before the jointists, gamblers, bootleggers and lowd women were convinced that they would have to seek other fields to ply their occupation. In this work, it was an uphill pull as all branches of our law enforcing bodies were not working in harmony, but Eaton had the courage of his conviction and the manhood to uphold the law at any cost, and to his credit, those who opposed him then or may oppose him now, will have to admit that Mr. Eaton succeeded admirably. It was while serving as chief of police that his "stock went up" among the colored people. He had their moral and social uplift as heart and lent every assistance to our ministers, teachers, welfare workers, etc. He weat into their churches and delivered messages of love and good fellowship. He impressed upon their children that the Christian way would win them a place at the top and make them desirable citizens and good neighbors. Mr. Eaton is a nice, clean, upright Christian gentleman, and if nominated and elected would do his duty without fear or favor, and he is asking you in due time to think the matter over and consider his nice, clean manly record and fair dealing with all men does not entitle him to your suffrage. Mr. Eaton is a lifelong resident of Shawnee county, a tax payer and has a fine family. At present he's engaged in the flour and food business at 509 West 10th street, and he will greatly appreciate your patronage and also your ```markdown ``` Progress of the Race In Our Sister State. By THEO. BAUGHMAN, Special Scribe. The scribe called at the store of Mr. W. M. Bugge, who is conducting the finest representative place of business by the maze at Shawnee, Ohio. It is a grocery store, well stocked and possibly a thousand dollars has been spent. In connection with his store he conducts a meat market and doing well. The store is in a stone building which he owns. Mr. Bugge owns a good home, and is able assisted by his good wife. This man does not believe in sitting around whining, but getting up and pushing. Men like him are helping to build a race, and we need more of this kind. --- One of our good and highly respected citizens who resides at Clearview, Ohio, and who owns a 92-acre farm at Mount Calin, Texas, is Mr. Ed White, cultivated as one of The Phi Delta Kappa readers recently. He is a firm believer in the colored man doing things. --- Miss Hanna Taylor, a popular teacher, R. 4, box 83, at Watonga, Okin, is a new acquisition to our list of readers. Her subscription came through the influence of Mrs. Paralee McGee, one of the race's foremost lady teachers, and a true friend of The Tupaka Maindealer. Both of the above ladies have extended your scribe to visit their schools. --- The scribe spent a few hours in the hospitalable home of Undertaker and Mrs. Thomas Edwards. This is one of the palatial residences and those who visit same always find a cordial welcome. Mr. Edwards is a popular undertaker, having a place of business at 300 East Second St., Oklahoma City, where he carries a nice stock of caskets, funeral goods etc., and enjoys a liberal trade. His funeral car is modern, and Mr. Edwards is succeeding. His accomplished wife, who is a graduate of Langston University, and also attended the state normal at Emporia, Kanawa, is one of the popular teachers at Douglas school in that city. Those people are courteous and try to make you feel that you are welcome in their home. As race builders, they take the front rank. --- During a recent visit to Guthrie, we called at the U. S. postoffice, and through Mr. J. W. Taylor, we were shown through this magnificent structure. There are six of the race employed there, among them, Mr. Taylor's son, who is the elevator man. This gentleman's accomplished daughter, Miss Taylor, is one of the popular teachers in the Guthrie academy. She is possessed of many rare attainments. Mr. Taylor is one of the worthy men of Guthrie, and has been a leading feature in the material advancement of that town. For years he has wielded much political influence and believes in education, and we have very few men who stand for more. He owns some valuable property, and the young Negro will make no mistake imitating him. --- One of the best homes at Shawnee, Oklahoma, is one owned by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Watkins. It is a palatial home, well furnished and provided over by an excellent woman. Mr. Watkins holds the position of junior at the Mammoth building, possibly the largest department store in the state of Oklahoma. These good people will read The Plain-dealer in the future. --- Lima, Oda, in another of the colored towns in Oklahoma, situated in Seminole county, twenty-three miles east of Shawnee, fifty-nine miles west of McAllenier, on the Rock Island railroad, in the fertile valley of Worcester river, where many of our race own good farms, etc. This town is not like the average colored town, as colored people own all the land for a radius of three miles, and every house and lot in town belong to Negroes. Religiously, there are plenty of spiritual food, as we found Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian—five good churches also pastored. Educationally this place has one of the best schools in the state, a two-story brick, worth $1,200 and the principal, Prof. W. B. Jones, is one of the reach rent scholars, a man of knowledge. For years he's devoted his energies to the school room, and one recognizes in him, a teacher of the first rank. There are eight teachers and there's an enrollment of three hundred students. There are several social societies, foremost among them the Masons and K. of P. There's one drug store known as the Randolph Drug Co., Mr. T. R. Randolph, manager. A complete stock, is carried and this enterprise is a success. There is a colored telephone system, Mr. W. O. Bryant being the manager. The promoters who first went to Lima decided to buy farm land, and no special effort has been made to build a town, and the time is ripe now, as the place is surrounded by many substantial tillers of the soil. There's not a vaucant house in town nor will you find a loafer. The Crump addition has 180 lots left, and they can be purchased from $50 to $100 per lot on easy terms. The manager of this addition is Dr. A. H. Tyson, who would be glad to hear from prospective home buymer. He will also gladly furnish information of any nature one may desire. Since we last visited Lima, the Jackson Bros., dry goods and grocery store has spreaded out, and these men are now in a modern store house near the station, lately erected and in which there's a complete stock of everything, representing an out-lay of $2000. These men have been is business two years, and their store is a credit to the race. They are true race men, and are solid fixtures at Lima. Mr. C. Jones, the Rock Island station agent and justice of the peace at Lima, is still conducting an up-to-date grocery store in which you can find what you want. While we were there, this good man was improving and otherwise renovating his two-story place near the station. This is one of Lima's representative men and his success is due to his excellent wife. Mr. G. D. Gross, the founder of Lima, is still doing business in a two-story stone building. The first floor is occupied as general merchandise store, in which he carries a complete line of dry goods, shoes, hats and groceries; and your Uncle Samuel's postoffice is also located therein and of which Mr. Gross is the postmaster. This gentleman has an excellent, two-story residence, and very interesting family. Mr. Gross owns one of the best farms near Lima, consisting of 200 acres. His accomplished daughter, Mrs. Odessa Burroughs, is one of the popular teachers of that city, and while her husband is an employee in the Boley postoffice. The Gross family is one of the solid families of the race, and are firm believers in Negro education. Mr. Gross informed us that he needed more solid men to locate at Lima. The following teachers go to make up the faculty of the Lima High school; Prof. W. B. Jones, principal; Mrs. H. C. Cousin, Mrs. Emma Z. Chandler, Mrs. Odessa M. Burroughs, Mrs. James B. Bradley, Miss Ethel Dunlap and Mrs. T. M. Jones, music teacher. These make an exceptionally strong faculty, and Lima has a great school. Since our last visit to Lima, a great showing has been made along all lines. A $2000 annex has been added and the enrollment has increased materially, and two more teachers have been added, one being a music teacher. A high-class piano has been installed and the children are being given instrumental music free. A library has been added and many volumes of good books are at the disposal of the children. Shade trees have been planted, gravel walks put down, campus enclosed and improvements are noted everywhere. A corn and canning club have been organized under the auspices of the government, and will be in working order during the term. The girls are also being taught domestic science as well as manual training for the boys. At a recent visit of the county superintendent to the Lima schools, he expressed himself as being well pleased and stated that the school was in better shape than ever before in the history of same and led all schools in the county, and paid the teachers a high compliment for efficiency, etc. Prof. Jones has the respect and confidence of both parents and students. Mr. C. L. Dunlap is the popular manager for Mrs. I. B. Dunlap, his wife, who is owner of a grocery store at Lima. They carry a complete stock and enjoy a nice trade. These good people own their own building and own 180 acres of good land. This store started from the proceeds of money saved by Mrs. Dunlap from butter, eggs, etc., and now it represents hundreds of dollars. Your scribe again dropped into the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Dunlap, one of the best homes at Lima. It is furnished in THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN MR. BILLIE P. CARROLL the popular porter for the Conservative Loan Co., of Shawnee, Okla. He is identified with the A.M.E. church and is a worthy man; one who believes in Negro enterprises.

The Plaindealer man quit the capital of Oklahoma and visited several of the smaller towns during last week and many new readers are the result. The people received him with open arms, and seemingly thy never grow tired of praising our fearless editor, Mr. Nick Chiles. Wowoka, one of the towns we visited is on quite a boom, as more than a dozen new houses have been erected by our race. This town is surrounded by solid farmers, and there's as much business there conducted by Negroes as you find anywhere. We spent one night at Lima, and while there Drugglat Randolph and his excellent wife enter tained us with a whist party. Here too, we met a hearty welcome, and many praised your scribe's weekly write-ups. We recently met Mr.. William Crain, a thrifty man of our race, who resides at or near Earlshore, Okla., who owns 200 acres of rich, farm land. He has an interesting family, and knows how to make farming pay. He has plenty of fine stock, consisting of thirty head of cattle, horses, etc., forty head of hogs and is in a shape to live. There are 15000 acres of land near him owned by the race and 2000 more that the race can buy. --- The colored schools at Wewoka is in a flourishing condition under the able management of Prof. J. R. Coffey, who is ably assisted by Miss Mayme K. Bradford, a very cultured little woman of the race. The scribe called at the same and found these good people doing their entire duty. As educators they are abreast with the times and the deportment of the children are above criticism. Such educators are the ones to be employed in our schools. In Prof. Coffey we have a true race man, having received his training at Holly Springs, Rust College and Campbell College, Jackson, Miss., and since his graduation he has strictly applied himself, and is indeed a ripe scholar. He has the degree of A. M., and what we mean, he's richly entitled to same. His wife, a brilliant woman, also finished at Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss., and has been a great factor both in educational and social circles. At present Mrs. Coffey is successfully teaching District 13 school and giving complete satisfaction. In this couple our race have two people who are doing great work in bringing up the standard of Negro citizenship. Their very accomplished daughter, Miss Maggie B., is a student in Philander Smith College, Little Rock., and is freshman in that great school. There is another daughter, Annie in the Sixth grade of the Wewoka schools. One of the race's successful carpenters at Wewoka, Okla., is Mr. Moses Lewis, who for ten years has been following his trade. He is a good workman and is kept busy. His good wife is quite a society lady, and these good people are readers of The Plaindealer. Mr. W. M. Ensley, the paperhanger and painter at Wewoka, is a man who, by delivering the goods, is kept busy. For fifteen years he's been smearing paint, and the public now recognizes him as a master at that trade. He's a property owner, and is lending a hand in helping the race go up. The scribe dropped into the office of that brilliant young attorney of the race, Hon. C. E. Corbett, while we were at Wewoka, Okla. and found him a very busy man. Since coming to Oklahoma, five years ago, he has not lost a minute in winning his way into the front ranks of his chosen profession, and he is truly an apostle of Blackstone. This young man acquired his education at Washington D. C., High school and finished at Howard University, and is a man full of push, and everybody knows he's in Oklahoma. At the last session of the State Bar Association, which convened at Oklahoma City, he was elected unanimously, president of same. He is also acceptably filling the position of grand auditor of the K. of P., of the state of Oklahoma and master of the Masonic lodge of Wewoka. He is also secretary and director of the Igo Oil and Gas Co., and you find Corbett helping every move which means the betterment of the condition of our race. He recently shook off single blessedness and is now numbered among the Benedicts, his wife being a graduate of Western University, of Kansas, and one of the race's bright girls. They own 160 acres of good land. In Mr. Corbett our race has a man who is an unceasing worker in making us a people worth while. A man of the race who is holding his own in the medical world is that eminent physician, Dr. A. H. Tyson at Wewoka, Okla. Sixteen years is the length of time this man has been "rolling pills" and he has about convinced all that he stands ahead in his class. As a race builder, Dr. Tyson is in a class by himself and he has a brilliant career to look back over. Dr. Tyson is trying to give up the practice of medicine, but his friends seem not to agree with him, and keep him busy. He is dealing extensively in real estate and recently acquired the Crump addition to Lima, Oklahoma, where Dr. Tyson owns a modern drug store, and valuable real estate. He stated that he intended to make Lima an ideal Negro town, a place where the best colored people will desire to reside. There are excellent schools, etc. already at Lima, and it will not take much effort to develop Lima into a great city. Dr. Tyson owns a modern home, several farms and valuable city property, and a nice rental comes in every month. Mrs. Tyson, the wife of the Doctor, is also a stirring woman, and is conducting a loan business, in which she is making a decided success. Mrs. Tyson is also "ocepatha," and is an expert along this line. Their daughter, Miss Elma, is principal of Tishamingo school. This is a representative family, and have always strived to help build a race. The Chandler Bros., grocery store is a truly representative enterprise and the store which is well stocked is operated in the Chandler brick building, a good two-story place. This store has been going a dozen of years and a large volume of business is transacted. Mr. E. Chandler is the manager, and he has proven that he's a business man of the first order. He will, in the next few days, open a modern drug store on the north side, which will be under the supervision of his nephew, Dr. W. E. Chandler, one of our brilliant young Negro pharmacists. When it comes to doing, the Chandlers are in a class by themselves, as they are truly doers. There are two physicians, one pharmacist, a business man and a farmer. They own some very valuable city property, and by their work and thrift are inspirig the race to do things. We called at the store and found a well selected stock and Mr. Chandler informed us that the drug store would be one of the swellest in the state of Oklahoma. Let the Negro race have more Chandlers, and we'll soon be a powerful race. One of the popular physicians of the race is located at Wewoka, Okla. in the person of Dr. J. J. Chandler, who for nine years has successfully practiced medicine, and his fame is not confined to his immediate locality, but his name has gone all over the country as a successful JOHN H. HARRIS DR. J. J. CHANDLER. physician. The University of West Tennessee has never turned out a brighter student and he's a credit to our race. He is one of the climbers who are bringing things about. It was our pleasure to meet that successful farmer, Mr. E. Davidson, during a recent visit to Wewoka, Okla. He is a solid man, and by managing wisely, is one of our best fixed men. He owns a modern farm of 180 acres, stocked with everything to be found on a good farm. He is able to boast of a juicy bank account, and is a man who has the respect and confidence of all. One of our men who has made a wonderful showing at Wewoka, and invested his money wisely, is Mr. L. Z. Young, the expert tailor. We were astonished to walk into his place on our recent visit to find him in a brick building stocked with dry goods, etc. Too, his tailoring establishment is equipped with modern machinery, etc. Since we were at Wewoka, Mr. Young wedded Mrs. Recce, and now he goes about smiling and doing business. His wife is an excellent woman, and also conducts an up-to-date grocery store in the western end of the town. They are among the race's best folks and are doing their part in the business world. A new enterprise at Wewoka, Okla., is the grocery store and cafe of Mr. G. W. Rowland, a thrifty man of our race. He has a neat little place, and informed us that he intended to keep on pushing until his place is one of the best in Oklahoma. We need more men of this man's push. Mr. W. A. Scott, the expert barber at Wewoka, Okla., is still delivering the goods, as he has one of the best two-chair places in the state. This gentleman has a good home and is a recognized business man. Al truly representative farmer at Wewoka, Okla., is Mr. P. E. Scott, who resides on R. 3, and who serves God under his own "vine and fig tree" on a 160-acre tract of improved, farm land, which he has ee om RP pete = 1 » = we _ 7 ee SAN RE SE Gree Seen Se rae me ES ; ° vig tte ze 5 oe ee taken th6 nis 10 SKA Wee orm animals, etc. He is certainly a suc- cessful farmer, and is abie to boast of a juicy’ bank account, Your acribe met him recently with a broad emite, and he at once handed us money to help grease the wheels. One of the race's representative men who “turned his back” on the achool room and devoting his ener- gies te eommercalism, is Prof. V F. Davidson, who for tevoral years attempted to “learn the young idea how to shoot.” His large dry goods and grocery establishment at We- woka, Okls., requiring all of his) time, Since our last visit this gen. tdeman hag greatly increased his: stock und he now has about $5000 invested, and keeps everything to be found jn a modern establishment. Five clerks are used, and the store inepires, or should inspire every colored man. The britk building hes io ts owned by his uncle, Mr. J. B. Chandler. This educator merchant ts also a stockholder in the Igo Oil and Gas Co., of which Hon. Coady Johnson is president. This company is backed up by zome of our ableat men, and Js destined to Prove a great success. In Mr, Dawideon, the race has a cultured gentleman, ond a practical busi- ness man, and in him our people have one whose life is worthy of imitating. Dr. S. L.

About four years ago this accom- plished httle woman launched out in business with practically nothing, but today her store is stocked from pit to dome with every conceivable thing for ladies, and the stock at presemt represents an out-lay of $2000. Her trade has reached such proportions that Mrs. Johnson had to install un automobile service to deliver goods to her numerous cus- tomer, The store is neatly ar- ranged, and high-class goods are noticeable everywhere and her novel- ty department is complete.

After the community organizatior has been effected, the people will naturally turn thelr attention to a suitable place for holding their meet. ings. In many instances, the ques: tion of meeting places, has been the bone of contention, and very fre- quently disagreement on this point have been the means of blasting the hopes of many an enthustlastic or- ganizer. Very often it happens where the school building is not centrally lo- cated, that the church beoomes an ideal meeting place for the communt- ty organization, The meetings need not interfere In any way with the regular plan of worship, of the church. If the church Is in good working condition, there should be wervices twice each Sunday, taking into consideration the number of people and their conveniences, ‘There should Le a good Sunday school, and a young people's organi- ration which meets before Sunday evening services. Prayer meeting is held one evening during the week, and the Bible class, and Parents and Workers Council can be put into one meeting, so the remaining time can be utalized “y the community or- ganization, which would take care of all business and social deliberations, One of or greatest mistakes ia that we do not use the church enough; in many places services are ab) ued twice a month, because the reople will not give hberally enough « air means, to provide the pastor a living salary. When the weather does not suit everybody, there is a poor Sunday school attendance, the parents prefering that their children should go skating and hunting in win- ter, and to base ball games and fish-| ing, in summer time. | In many churches the Bible is covered with dust, and the mice have eaten the chords out of the organ, and the church furniture have all gone to wreck, and yet we are liv- ing in a land of civilization, and in an intelligent age. One might liken the world to a piano jist now; every one seems to pride themselves upon being skilful enough to play their pieces to the detriment of others. But we must get back®to honesty; honesty to ourselves, and to the other fellow. To do this, we must begin in the home to train the children; teach them to use the church by regular attendance at all esrvices. It is only by making use of our churches that we can succeed in life; in the rural community the church should be in use at least three nights during the week, at which time, re- igious, business, and social work, vould be taken care of. The status of the community can ve easily reckoned by the activity of, and the endeavor put forth by the church, because the church is the me- lium through which the being, and loings of the people are reflected. it is not the mission of the church to ngage in business, nor to carry on he business of the community, but t should advocate, and lend its In- fluence ¢o the promotion of all move- ments for uplift. ‘The conditions that obtain at this ‘ime in rural communities, are such hat business and social relations must be adjusted in such a way, as to meet the heartiest co-operation of he people. Especially is this true of he younger people. The brain and brawn that have zone from the rural district to help nuild up the cities are needed at home iow, and this throng that have been. noving to town must be kept where reeded most. If we are to keep the younger eople in the country, there must ye zome wholesome entertainment rovided for their recreation; enter- alnment that tends toward the spir- tual, moral and material uplift, This ts where the quty of the church hould be instrumental in creating . sentimeny In favor of progressive ae gr eer ae Sa awe one Kaulmann’s Market, «Good Meats., —Home Made Sausage and Lard a— ore wor Catalogue ef the Free!

Ross of Board of Censors. Washington Post Hall, February 5, 1916. Whereas:—The words, "Let us Have Peace," quoted in all the years since in admonishing us to speak gently and with consideration for the feelings of those who went down to defeat in the "lost cause;" to forget and forgive, until we wonder in our kindly spirit, whether we have not led the rising generation to believe that the South was right and the North was wrong. Not satisfied that we forget, the South now comes to teach history—with a picture—which with its beauty and glamour and music still teaches a lie,—the lie that slavery is not a sin and the rebellion to uphold it was not a crime. Its name, "The Birth of a Nation," is a fraud as its attempt to show that those who fought to destroy the nation were to be commended equally with those who battled to defend it. The picture teaches racial prejudice—to injure the colored people—who suffered long in slavery—instilling in the minds of the rising generation that prejudice which like a bad weed grows there too rank already. It is the pleasure of Washington Post to vote a resolution of thanks to Mr. W. D. Ross of the board of censors who refused to permit it to be shown in Kansas. For Kansas calls back the years before the guns were heard at Sumpter—when they battled for freedom against the slaveholders who crossed the border to steal the state. Lawrence calls back that August day in 1863, whose sun went down on one hundred and twenty-seven dead, murdered by Quantrell's men. Washington Post denounces such an attempt to falsify history and defy murderers such as he—while such "pictures hang on memory's wall." Closing the resolution as it began, with the words, "Let us Have Peace," but only when it is the peace which defends and preserves our good name, our honor and our nation. The Post directs the adjutant to spread this preamble and resolution on its records and to mail a copy to Mr. W. D. Ross, Supt. of Public Instructions, State House, Topeka, Kansas. Unanimously adopted by Washington Post No. 12 n regular session assembled Feb. 5th, 1916. D. B. HUNNICUTT, The above from the Lawrence Journal-World shows the feeling and sentiment of the men who saved the nation against such hellish pictures as Tom Dixon is trying to place on exhibition in Kansas. We commend the "Old Boys" for coming to the front and condemning this historical lie in no unmeasured terms. If you are a constant reader of The Plaincaler you will be wise. ```markdown ``` Mme.
