Let The Plaindesler tell yeu the news of the race that happens in thie broad land of ours. --- Progress of the Race in Our Sister State. By THEO, BAUGHMAN, Special Scribe. SAPULPA, OKLAHOMA. Mary McInnish, a Negro woman, stabbed another colored woman known as "Sister" to death at Sapulpa, last Saturday night. The scribe was informed that the trouble started about a gentleman (?) lover. The officers who allowcess pools of fifth to exist, knowingly, are the Negro race's worst enemies. The festive dive, where low white men and low Negroes, and still lower Negro women frequent, and raise h—I should be abolished and decent Negroes should take a stand against them, and oppose such hell holes until each town is clear of them. This is a duty we owe the Negro boy and Negro girl, and our people should wake up to their sense of duty and start a crusade against every den where immoral, glared eyed, no-account colored women, and worthless Negroes and bad white men congregate. These dives are found in many towns and seemingly sanctioned by the officials, must go if we are to ever be a race. If the officials will not close them, let the respectable colored folks appeal to the good white people to help them close up everyone of them, because they are hurtful to the colored race. Let Negro ministers start the move to close them that are not conducted in keeping with law and decency. One among the many clubs of the race at Sapulpa, is the Booker Washington club, recently organized to advance the race along all lines. The club is destined to accomplish a great good and every Negro who believes in race betterment should become a member. The scribe addressed the club during his visit and predicted a great thing for the race. There are fifty or more Negroes employed in the round house of the Frize railroad company, and these men are making from $45 to $65 per month. In face of this, a great many of our people are renting, and too, some live in deplorable shacks. This does not mean that there are no good homes owned by the race—to the contrary there are scores of excellent residences, and some are being erected. Let our men buy homes, beautify them and cut out carrying their families into "shacks." Got a home—its a duty you owe your family. As a rule, the most of the Negro societies are represented, but there is only one hall, and it is nothing to boast of. Let our societies inject business, buy property, etc., as the day of loud regalia, sitting up with the sick and burying the dead, are not only the things expected of our secret fraternities. There are a few of our men employed at hotels, etc., as well as along various other lines, however, while their oil wells everywhere, the colored man does not get much to do along this line. The Sapulpa colored city schools rank among the best we have, and this should not be astonishing when the man at the head is taken into consideration. He is truly a master and success has attended all his efforts for the number of years he has been training Negro boys and Negro girls; and his efforts at Sapulpa has been more than successful. When Prof. W. E. Day assumed the principalship he found the school in a critical condition, but being a true school man, he soon had it in the "good school" branch. Previous to invading the educational ranks of Oklahoma, he toiled in Texas, where he left behind him a clean bill of fare, and everybody down there find it no trouble to doubt him an upright, Christian gentleman. He does not confine his labor to the school room alone, but you find him in the church, in society and all circles which tend to uplift us. He struck Oklahoma "doing" and has been a conspicuous figure in race-building since he landed in the "Land of Promise." There's an enrollment of 220; and a faculty of four, the teachers being: Miss Compton, Miss Sylvia Hammonds and Miss Gortrade O. Underwood, three of the race's leading educational lights. Faculty:—W. E. Day, principal, Paul Quinn College, Texas. Miss G. O. Underwood, High school, Ouston, Ohio. Miss P. A. Compton, Walden University, Nashville, Tenn. Miss S. L. Hammonds, Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio. The above teachers are all ripe scholars and the work they are doing is above criticism, and they have the full confidence of the school authorities. In the near future, Sapulpa will have one of the most modern school buildings in the state of Oklahoma. The scribe received every courtesy at this school, and the able educator, Prof. Day, had the school to entertain The Plaindealer man with several melodies, etc., that fairly lifted the rafters and demonstrated that the musical end of the school was not lagging. The musical standing of the school must largely go to Miss Hammonds, as she is proficient in music, being a pianist of note, and in Black Patti's class when it comes to singing. The glee club of the school is distinctly in a class to itself. Your scribe will long remember the sweet singer. This school has the honor of being the best singers in Sapulpa and the newspaper man is going one better, and put them in the best class in Oklahoma. The musical part cannot be improved on. We spoke to the children, and they seemed to enjoy all we said. The colored teachers of Creek county met at this school building Saturday in Institute, and carried out an excellent program. Among the speakers were the Miss Bayless, Editor Smitherman of The Tulsa Star, a leading white attorney and The Plaindealer man. Prof. Day made an exceptionally good presiding officer and the Institute was a success. ```markdown ``` REV. W. M. HARRIS, the popular Baptist minister of Sapulpa, a race builder and a Plaindealer friend. There are four colored schools in Creek county, Okla., and according to the excellent superintendent, Miss Stella Bayless, a cultured white lady, the majority of them are taught by able men and women. Your scribe visited the office of Miss Bayless and found a cordial welcome, and this little woman ready to discuss school matters, and especially that part touching the Negro race. There are 1351 colored children enrolled in Creek county, and forty-three excellent school houses valued at $52,000. Speaking of the colored teachers, Miss Bayless said: "They are far above criticism; they are punctual, good at organizing, and colored parents are better at co-operating." She assured the scribe, that she did not overlook a single thing to give the Negro child every advantage he's entitled to. She'a planning to have all separate schools painted—outside and inside, and otherwise renovated; furniture repaired; school yards fenced, and beautified by planting flowers, etc. One of her plans that we more than agree with, "the school garden." She is going to secure from one to one and one-half acres' of land on which the children are to cultivate a garden. She also informed us that she intended to discharge the duties of her office without prejudice to any one, and that only the best teachers will be employed for colored schools. She is a cultured, broad-minded lady, void of prejudice. If Miss Bayless is allowed to carry out her plans, the schools of creek county will be above criticism. THE FIRST WORLD WAR MARSHALL AND E. J. ROYALL of Royall Orchestra, Sapulpa Oklahoma. --- M. H. PROF. W. E. DAY. The scribe met Rev. E. D. Williams, a man who can preach the gospel, carpent I. cice, and spare time to praise The Plaindealer. He joined our family of readers, and had us understand that he will not let a single opportunity escape him to praise the paper. He believes Eitor Chiles one of the race's greatest men. We are proud of such friends as this good man. The race at Sapulpa, Oklahoma is able to boast of one up-to-date drug store, known as the People's Drug store, Mr. Ed. Glass, proprietor. This place is an ideal enterprise, and money is being spent to make it first-class, as the owner says he intends to make it the best in the state. Aside from the large stock already carried, a magnificent soda water fountain has been purchased, and soft drinks, mid-day lunches, etc.; will be served. The "smoke house" department is also stocked with all the leading brands of cigars, etc. Mr. Glass owns the building, which is next to his hotel—"Great Western," a sixteen room place. All modern conveniences are enjoyed, and it is the best place in Sapulpa for the race. His wife is a cultured woman—one of the race's good teachers. These people are heavy property owners and are not asleep on their job. Mrs. Glass is teaching six miles from the city, and her school is a progressive one. Mr. Glass will, in the next thirty days, purchase an automobile and install an up-to-date service. [Signature] DR. E. D. JOHINSON, a successful physician of Sapulpa, Oklahoma Mr. I. C. Claridy, the merchant, is still busy handing out groceries, country produce, fresh meats of all kinds; in fact, he is one colored groceryman by injecting business methods into what he is doing, is succeeding. His stock of groceries, valued at $1000 is in his own house, and besides his business house, he owns two blocks and seven rent houses. He employs three persons in his store, and while unassuming, he is certainly alive when it comes to doing things to build a race. He is one of our readers, and at one time resided in Topoca. The Verst Ice Cream Parlor at 377 W. Johnson street, Sapulpa, Oklahoma, is one of the neatly kept places of the race, while they make a specialty of soft drinks, etc., they carry all kinds of candies, etc. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Verse will succeed because they know how to treat the public right. Mr. H. T. Hutton, a thrifty business man at Sapulpa, is still doing his part of the business carried in his city. He carries a good stock of groceries, meats, etc., and as a side issue has added a line of hats for ladies. Mr. Hutton possesses much stickability, and regardless how the "commercial boat" rocks, he is going to keep at it, and men with his vim will certainly make good. The Y. K. Yates grocery and meat market at Sapulpa, Okla., is a colored place of business that is a credit to the race. It is well stocked with everything to be found in an up-to-date grocery store, and Mr. Yates enjoys a nice trade. Illus market department contains meats of every description, and he has free delivery to all parts of the city. He is an experienced business man, and by treating all right, he is making a creditable showing. He is ably assisted by his good wife. Messrs L. B. Bolin and P. J. McAlpine, two young men of the race at Sapulpa, are contractors and builders, and are able to do all kinds of work along their line. Both of these young men are students of Tu-kegee, having finished class 1914. They are prepared men, and have a bright future. They build from a chicken coop to a mansion. The People's Tailoring establishment is owned and operated by Mr. T. R. Johnson, who is a recognized workman. This young Afro-American is demonstrating that if you do work right, the public will see to it that you do not go hungry. His place is one among the creditable enterprises of the race at Sapulpa. ... MIR. P. J. McALFINE, contractor and builder of Sapulpa, the product of Tuskegee. The C. M. E, church at Sapulpa, has a membership of fifty, and the pastor, Rev. H. G. Griffin, and old-timer, at the game, is bringing things about. By his Godly walks, and sledge-hammer blows at the devil, he is making himself felt. He is one follower of the Lowly and Meek Nazarine who does not compromise with wrong at no turn in the lane. Rev. Griffin is filling his twenty-first appointment, and take it from us, he is delivering the goods. He and his good wife are comfortably situated in the parsonage and are wearing their lives out for the Master and the race. It was our pleasure to call on Dr. W. B. Humphries, at his offices at Sapulpa, and found him installed in good offices and enjoying a nice practice among both races. Thee lass of 1907, that finished at Mharrry Medical college, is the one this excellent young physician fini-hed with. After his graduation Dr. Humphries took a post course at Northwestern Medical college, and is one of our well read men. He is president of the Oklahoma Colored Medical association, and a man who is destined to be a real leader. After practicing two years at Fort Smith, Ark., he hung out his shingle at Sapulpa, and for eight wayyears he has gradually won his way into the front ranks of his chosen profession, until he is looked on as one of the race's ablest physicians and surgeons, and his cures have been many and some of them seemingly were incurable. Dr. Humphries makes a specialty of treating women and genito-urinary diseases, and perhaps he enjoys the largest practice along this line of any physician in Oklahoma. This cultured man is blessed with an excellent help-meet, his wife being one of the leading teachers of Oklahoma. They own a good home and sixty acres of land. While the scribe was there, this pastmaster at mill rolling, purchased a high power five passenger car, his large practice necessitated the purchase ofame. Dr. Humphries is made from that material from which true face men come, and did not try to 'uff down our throat: "God bless you, I see you again, etc." but made us happy by giving us a nice um. Both he and his good wife are always ready to talk for The Topeka Plaindealer. Mrs. S. L. James, a thrifty little lady, is conducting a neat grocery store at Sapulpa, having a stock worth several hundred dollars. She is in her own business house, CHRISTINE DR. ELIZABETH E. McCOY JOHNSON, a successful lady physician, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. and while he is making good along her line, her excellent husband is a successful real estate dealer, and brings things about. This is one of our representative families, and for years Mr. James has been a true friend to our people. He is one of the early settlers of Oklahoma, and they are true doers. Mr. James was appointed by the Progressive party as one of the committee to stir things for that party last election, but will, no doubt return to the Republican party fold. Spiritual food is administered at Mount Olive Baptist church at Sapulpa, Okla., by that God-sent man, Rev. W. M. Harris, who for ten years has successfully pastored, and today, he is recognized as one of the able men of the race. His church is the largest colored church in Sapulpa, having a membership of 250, and they represent some of the best people in our race. By tolling early and late in the Master's vineyard, and accomplishing much in the elevation of the race, he had the degree of B. D., conferred on him, a merited honor indeed. He finished at Roger Williams University in 1914. Rev. Harris is a prepared man, and a great factor for good. He is a member of the Orphans' Home Board of the Baptist State Convention, dean theological department of the State Baptist college, and in fact is a useful as well as a "usable" man, and you never find him shirking in his tent when duty calls him. He is broad in his views, and though an uncompromising Baptist, he concedes every man a right to ```markdown ``` MR. HARRY JOHNSON, a business man of Sapulca, who runs a good hotel for the race. his religious opinion. Give us more men like Rev. Harris. One of the good homes in which The Plaindealer will go from now on is that of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Stevenson, of Sapulpa. These good folks are members of the A. M. E. church and are real doers. Mr. W. H. Furrie, an employee of the Frisco in the round house at Sapulpa, owns an excellent home and he and his good wife make all welcome. We called at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Underwood, at Sapulpa, and it is one of the best in the town. These good people are rare entertainers, and believe in all men up. They have a very accomplished daughter, Miss Gertrude, one of the efficient teachers of the city schools. Speaking of their little lady, the High Journal of Canton, Ohio, in an issue said: "So keen, so clever, and so versatile; there is nothing that she cannot do." Coming from one of America's leading white school journals, speaks volumes for Miss Underwood. This is her second year as teacher and believe me, she is winning her laurels, and we haven't anyone who ranks ahead of her. Her mother, Mrs. Underwood, is also a cultured lady, and has seen to it that Miss Gertrude received every advantage. Miss Underwood is an educator and also a musician, and we are proud of this brilliant girl. We were lucky in securing Miss Underwood as our representative, and we will have news letters from Sapulpa each week, and she will have papers for sale. Persons desiring a copy of The Plaindealer will find it at H. T. Hutton's grocery store; any news for The Plaindealer may also be left at this place. The Royal Orchestra at Sapulpa, of which Mr. Marshall Royal is the manager, is a musical organization with some dignity to it. The Royal is a seven-piece orchestra, and the following are members: Marshall Royal, E. J. Royal, Mrs. Marshall Royal, E. Douglass, G. Howell, Joc Forbus and Ben Sumner. These members are all artists and play all instruments. They discourse all up-to-date music, and are kept busy. Mr. Royal injects business into this organization, and it is a credit to the race. Our old friend, Mr. J. J. Phillips is still demonstrating that a man can make good in the barber business, if the place is conducted right. He has a two-chair place modern and he only uses barbers who are barbers for your whiskers. Barber Phillips is a race man and not only talks race pride, but practices it. His shop is the kind of a place where you get real barber work. We are glad to claim this man as our friend. His barber is Mr. J. H. Slaughter, an expert workman. The Brooklyn Cafe and rooming house is now owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Johnson, who are making it one of the swellest places for the race in Oklahoma. There are twenty good rooms; fixed up that they will please the most fastidious. The cafe is a place where you get everything the market affords and as both of these good people are expert cooks, they have no trouble in pleasing the public. The scribe can well afford to recommend this place as there is an old saying, "a tasting of the pudding is a sampling of the sauce," hence we know whereof we speak. See them at 401-03 when you go to Sapulpa, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have spent money to make everything up-to-date—bath and everything to make life worth while, can be found at the Brooklyn. Little Tailoring Co., at 516 H. Hobson street, Sapulpa, Oklahoma, is a creditable enterprise of the race. This young business man is putting business methods into what he is doing, and is making good. He makes, clean, press, buy and sell clothes. In connection with his tailoring business, he conducts a three-chair tonsorial parlor, and has such expert workmen as Meersers Jesse Patterson, John Word, and B. J. Johnson. These men are not amateurs, but real barbers and please the public. Mr. Little is also at the head of Little's Undertaking Co. These are the kind of men who build a race. The lady who has the name of being the best cook in the town of Sapulpa, is Mrs. J. A. Byrd, who is conducting a cafe and rooming house at 119 and 123 North Oak street. Her table fairly groans under the many good things she serves, and her rooms are clean, and airy. She is full of enterprise and joined our list of readers. The public talk about this woman's cooking and the crowd we found there bear out all the good things said about her. The largest property owner of the race at Sapulpa, Okla., is Mr. E. J. Jolly. He has three good business houses, all occupied by --- colored business men; a good rent house, an excellent home, and several valuable city lots. Mr. Jolly is a practical business man, and ong of the solid citizens of Sapulpa. This man himself, for years conducted business, but sold out and is now looking after his private interests. Mr. Jolly is a race man who does not believe that hot air is the thing for Negro enterprise to live on. For forty years Rev. J. H. Brown, D. D., pastor of the Flipper Chapel, A. M. E. church of Sapulpa, Okla., has fed the race spiritual food, and he is some feeder too. He has successfully pastored in California, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma, and is a high church man. He is a deep thinker, and what you may style a prepared man. Oskaloosa College, of Oskaloosa, Ia., conferred the degree of D. D., upon this good man, and he won the degree of A. M., from the University of the Pacific, San Jose, Calif. The people of Sapulpa are indeed lucky in having such an abe Christian man as pastor, and we are confident that the race will be uplifted by this God-sent man. One of he neat grocery stores of the race at Sapulpa, is the one owned by Mr. R. F. Harris. This man is one of the progressive citizens, and has his store in his own building. Adjoining his store is his residence, and a good one indeed. Mr.. Harris is a carpenter, a master at his trade. The stock is really worth $500, and his wife man ages same. They have an excellent daughter in the person of Miss Beatrice Pearl Harris. The scribe in company with Dr. Humphrey in his "Overland" car, visited Mrs. Humphrey's school, six miles from Sapulpa, where there was a patron's meeting. Many of the patrons of the community were present, and refreshments were served to all. The county superintendent, Miss Stella Bayless, a very cultured little white lady, was present and delivered a very strong, practical talk, and said many helpful things. She is truly interested in the schools of her county, and paid Mrs. Humphrey a deserving compliment. The county health physician, Dr. Reynolds, was also present and had a word to say. The scribe also addressed the meeting and appealed for co-operation for the teacher, and said that we had in such persons as the Superintendent and the eminent white physician true friends; in fact, the Negro must not look on all the white people as our enemies. The excellent teacher, Mrs. Humphreys is doing a great work, and the people love her. Spanking of her community, Mrs. Humphreys said that her patrons were progressive and were ready to co-operate with her in every move which means race elevation; and that she was not going to stop until school district No. 30 is the best in Creek county. Mrs. Humphrey is a graduate of the State Normal of Holly Springs, Miss., and took a special business course at Rust University. A woman who is a success as a teacher, physician and all round race woman, is, Dr. Elizabeth E. McCoy Johnson, who is practicing medicine at Sapulpa. She is a prepared woman both from a literary as well as medical standpoint, and is demonstrating her worth, as she enjoys one of the largest practices of any physician in the race, and looks after her large practice in an automobile. She is efficient beyond a doubt, holding three professional diplomas—pharmacy, nurse-training and medicine, and for eight years has successfully pursued her profession, performing many cures, and performing some delicate operations. Dr. McCoy Johnson holds license from several states, legalizing her to practice medicine in any of them in which she decides to locate. This brilliant woman has two excellent daughters, Misses Eva B. and Katie S. McCoy, who are the products of Langston University; Miss Eva B. being the popular teacher of Kelleyville, Oklahoma, city schools. By her faithful work in the school room, and possessing a pleasing personality, has won her way into the hearts of the people there. These people are firm believers in Negro education. DR. E. D. JOHNSON. In another column is the cut of Dr. E. D. Johnson, a most successful practitioner of Sapulpa, and one of the bright graduates from Meharry Medical College, a man who is ripe in scholarship and by knowing medicine, is rapidly winning his way into the ranks of the profession. Dr. Johnson does not believe in "just good enough," but believes the time is ripe for prepared men and women, and though one of our best posted mne, will in the next few weeks, go to the University of Buffalo, (medical department) Buffalo, N.

Eaton Rapids, Mich. wife are associated office partners, whose offices are situated in the principal part of the city of Sapulpa, are modern in every respect. Dr. Johnson and his cultured wife are congenial people, and they are a team that have few superiors, and are the kind of folks who go to give the race some standing. We need more people of the Johnson kind, and they are a credit to the race indeed. ```markdown ``` MISS GERTRUDE O.

False acribes of the {Baptist church condemn the Chris- ttanity of Methodist beliefs, and the Walse scribes of the Metiodist jyhurch retaliate, and it has bee tome so rotten that each chure; has tnade a division of fellowship, a Hivision of love, a division of the i.ord’s Supper, and now they claim there is a division of ‘ieavens. 1 hidmit that there Is a division in bodes, and that fa heaven, for the true Christians. But woe be unto }he scribes that made these divis- ons. Your punshmient will be In hell." There [s only one God, one true church, and all other churcies are organized denominations. The right of truth is not to be Sidden or Put under a bushel. The church Meputes this much of the Bible and fas instituted in both board and bhurch meeting instead a kind of a secret order society hearing for fear that their hatred toward the other yhurch denomination brethren will pe found out, Away with these yoctrinal liars!

Mrs, Verna Pecler has returned from her visit to Chillicothe, She sand the children enjoyed the visit very much and are feeling much better. Mrs. Lizzie Peeler recently made a flying trip to her old home in Chariton county to visit old friends and relatives. Whue there she had the pleasure of meeting several of both, She has returned home. The colored people in this town are rising and coming to the front fn the matter of demanding their rights from the public. The students of Lincoln high rchool who were billed to put on a play, “The Broken Ilome,” found on their arrival the evening they were billed for that the attendance of colored people would be small on account of the iron-clad rule of the house that colored people had to sit in the gallery, or “chicken roost.” But eay, that was broken down when Prof, Scott told the manage- ment that unless the colored people had the privilege of half of the lower floor there would be no show that night. It was rather late in the evening before they decided to bresk the rule, yet a good crowd of the town people were present and enjoyed the performance, as many of the performers possessed rare ability. At last the Jong thought of school petition has been executed, signed and delivered to the board of edu- cation by a committee composed of Mr. Ustus Slaughter, Mr. M. A. Howe and the writer. In the peti- tion we asked for a new site and a larger one, a new building of two er more rooms, two teachers, and at least two years of high school work.
