It Is a certain class of white people who dote on thelr Christianity and the laws of the country and decry ‘Villa and the European war. Villa Is an ange) compared to this class of whites who committed this deed when the law was tuking its courre, It seems to us the good class of people of Oklahoma were getting together and stamping out these outlaws, The American white people should quit talking about Villa outlaws and Vandits until they have cleaned up thelr own doors. This ia an outrage and the good people of the state of OMahoma will not stand for it, We shall very patlently await to hear what the judge and jury and gov- ernor of Okluhoma will do in the matter and we hope a reward will be offered to capture the culprits and punish them for it is no doubt that the judge knows the members of the mob and there is no reason why they should not be apprehended und if the sheriif does not do his duty he should be put out of office. “Birth of a Nation” Hon, A. W. Hopkins Scores Dixon and His Play. Is it potrible that the high officials of any state o1 territory would stund for the Tum Dixon play which is immoru} in its character, untrue to the history of the Umited Stutes and Insed on hypociisy, brutality und barbarism A.W Wophina upholde Eugene V. Debbs and scores the half written Dixon play known as the “Birth of the Nation." Mr, Debs is n God fearing, hberty loving Christian, He hurls it. back at Dixon yet the half has never Leen told and uch men as Mr, Dixon will have to hunty, I wail tell Mr, Dixon the number of Negrocs in the United States and their selationship which hig enisted hetucen the white men just Lhe Mr, Dixon and the Negro women, and 1 ask the good people of the wold to take note with me and they will sce vety plainly why it is that the women of this country ute fighting for equal rights at the bal- Jot box. The good women of the United States want £ law enacted by the National Congress and strictly enforced that men in the United Statea divide equally all of his es- tate betwcen his children whether by marriage or unmarried, becavee the children of nonmarriage ure of the same relation to its father as the children ot his wife and why should any American citizen refuse to di- vide hia estate with his children? We have in the United States 11'938,587 Negroes, of thie number we have 4,317,209 mulattoes, Then we have 9 durker set of 2,743,128, So you ree Mr, Dixon should have these In the “Birth of a Nation” be- eaure thy are white men’s children and grandchildren und their blood is crying for justice, Including thix 11,938,587 we have 16,230 Negroes who ave today pasting as white men ant women and we have alo in this number 2108 Negroes in clerical and judicial positions pass. ing as white men and women, We hive 3&t Negroes who have mirried jn some of the bert white families of the United States Whore fault {s it?) Their fathers ate white men, fo the Birth of a Nation Play to be complete should show that while the girls ure taught to do the! good deeds of their master, the boys are taught to do the bad deeds of the father, We nave 112 Negro wo- men in the United States that are raieing families of cl.ildren by white’ Pee Madde ste Hale, a sateh Sen, be inathae idee Sars em men and unmarried to them. We have 619 houses of prostitution In the United States with the number of inmates ranging fror nine up te thirty-two, that are owned, controlled und supported by white men ani no Negro man need to apply unless for au porition as janitor and [f Mr. Dixon would incorporate the true conditions as they exist in the United States between the white and black aaces into his play, he would not be allowed to exhibit his play in any xtate of this Union, and Mr. Dixon while passing himself as a Christian minister living in a Bible land should get nbout doing good by Christainiz- ing the rape fiend of his own race and instead of still trying to crush und humiliate the Negro race, should do something to build them up, He should 1epresent in his play that this government pay the Negroes for some part of the mancy years of ser- vitude ag slaves of the white race of the United States and for the un- told millions of dollaré the shite iace has received by the toils of the Negros and should have incorpo- rated in the “Birth of a Nation” to pay the Negroes some part of what is justly due them, Now here is a question to the most learned of ull the earth, Can a black man and u black woman jointly be the futher and mother of white or mulatto childien? Look out Mr. Dixon, the Negroes know some part of everything in the world and these ase just a few outlines of the con- ditions as they exist today in the United States—the land of the fice and the home of the brave, and yet the half has never been told.

The people love and trust me and I love and trust them, and It takes this sort of a combina: tion to pay off church debts, They refused to mcke an effort to pay off the debt or cate for the property under the pastorate of Bro, Tyler.

THE RACE BULLDING A GREAT CITY AND MAKING A GRAND SHOWING Our old friend, Hon, W. L. Jones, {a atill “IT” at Boley, where for years he has been a motive power in race building. At prosent he fs in his brick building that he is use ing as a storage, Mr. Jones broke the recerd at the molasses making business, having shipped two car- loads, representing $2000. le has disposed of his farming intereste, and will, in a few weeks, or as soon as the lumber can be received, erect @ flour mill and elevator with a ca- pacity of 16 barrels of flour and 6 barrels of meal per day. This en- terprise will cest about $1000, and after awhile Boley people will be fed on their ewn flour and meal, an effort will be made to sell all neigh: boring towns, This man Jones has been successful at almost everything he touched, and for years served a8 the efficient pestmaster of his town. He has a good home, presided over by a brainy woman, his wife being one of the race's leading teachers, He ia the city justice of Boley, and lawbreahers are given “what Paddy gave the drum” when they come before him. In the Judge the race has a man who believes the Negro can do anything any other man cun do. It Is always a pleasure for us to visit people who are doing things, and we find special pleasure when we call on Mr. and Mrs, Jno. Owens who own good property on the main street of Boley, in which Mrs. Owe]. ens conducts a grocery and cafe. Mr, Owena is deputy sheriff, and is], in the cattle business, He has ten}: acres ef land adjoining the city on which he keeps his cattle, ete. and] while there he had 50 head of cattle): ready for market. Their daughter,| Miss Kiszie Fisher, is a popular|s teacher, being employed at Clayton’s| Chapel.

The first floor| ¢ is used as a dining room, where the ‘ best to eat is served, and Mrs. Ro-| | bey is recognized a» one of our Lest cooks, and one who knows how tol! treat the public right, The upper! floor has been converted Into sleeps; ; ing apartments, and this good Indy is prepared to give the public the,’ best of service, as she has had years. of experience in hotel lines. if Mr. C, B, Shaw has been in the / cafe business at Boley for reven or more years and is still serving the ! best on the market, as his cooking is | on the “bring one Imck” hind, Mr. ; Shaw Is a good chef and it ts no | trouble for him to please the public, | Ing 8 race, and in them The Topeka Plairdealer has true friends. 1 We were surprised at the msgit- {cent postoffice Boley now has, and we could rearce realize that it was a colored office, That sterling man, Hon. Cacsar F, Simmons, has made an efficient postmaster, one far be- yond the expectation of the patrons of the office. Since our last visit up-to-the-present fixtures have been put in—nll stecl automatic boxes— in fact everything that goes to make it one of Uncle Samuel's best of- fices, It has been moved to the Dr. Edwards stone building, a spicious 26x50 structure, and Mr. Simmonn and his coterie of clerks are putting all kicks to the wind, and friends) and encmies alike are praising the , 2 4, . p) _— = pe } Pind ‘y (the EN , ao ; ete a NP ae DR.

He has as an assis. tant, Mrs, L. E, Simmons; clerks: Mr. Jamcs Butrows and Mr. Rol- ert Simmons. These people are kept busy and to see men and women ef our race handling the govern+ ments’s Lusiness with cloch-like precision inspircd ua miuch, It was not so Furprising to us, however, to note the improvement in the of- fice, hnowing the postmaster ns we do, Mr, Simmons has toiled for years to better the conditions of our. people, and in the school 100m, as well as along all lines, he has been an untiring worker, and we recog nize in him a true standard beater, When the affairs of the government as well as those of the race ate in- grusted to men hhe Mr. Simmons they will always be faithfully looked after.
