No. 21 Watch Our Annou Kansas Educat to O Dr. Soans Pays a Glow Prof. J. M. Marquess at the Eve of His De Kansas Educator to Oklahoma Dr. Soans Pays a Glowing Tribute to Prof. J. M. Marquess at a Dinner on the Eve of His Departure. On Friday evening, May 26, in the spacious auditorium of the Kansas City, Kan., high school, the most touching tribute of appreciation and esteem was paid Prof. J. M. Marquess, the retiring principal of Sumner high school, by the citizens of our proud metropolis. here, and the hearty co-operation received in his efforts of betterment and uplift. J. G. N. SOANS. W. B. TOWNSEND, OLD WAR HORSE WRITESI Packed to its utmost to witness the commencement exercises of the largest graduating class in the career of Sumner, and the last under Prof. Marquess' skillful management, the occasion was truly adapted to and fittingly selected for the demonstration of confidence and of high estimation of this brilliant scholar and educator, who, in the eight years of living in our midst, endeared himself to the entire community and proved himself worthy of the highest honors in the gift of the citizenship; who, during this same period as principal of Sumner high school, brought it out of the unpromising and unsavory connections of its origin to a position of respectability and of fame in the educational system of our city and community, and through whose supervision and government it has won a name and a place of honor among the institutions of learning in our state and in the nation. Over two thousand of the citizens—mothers seriously interested in the welfare of their sons and daughters, fathers jealous of the sanctity of their children's rights, opportunities and honor; patrons animated with pride in the race's endeavor and achievements, were present to hear the farewell address of their prized educator and honored member of the race and to bid him Godspeed and continued success in his future work. Past Grand Master of Masons of Kansas, Mr. C. H. Milton Collins, in an eloquent and forceful address in behalf of the citizens of Kansas City, Kan., presented Mr. Marquess a large and beautifully engraved silver loving cup, with the names of the contributors to its purchase. But, eloquent and valuable as this gift was, it was only a small token of the regard in which Mr. Marquess is held here; it was only a gentle reminder to him that his years of service in the community will ever be cherished as years of usefulness; it was only an assurance to him that his goodness to Kansas City, Kan., is indelibly described on the memory of an appreciative public. The occasion will ever be remembered, for it gave renewed evidence of the unbounded confidence of the entire citizenship of Kansas City, Kan., in this man of the race, who with grace and dignity represented it this last eight years in the social and civil life of the community; who with zeal and capability championed its cause in the councils of the high; who with fidelity and devotion served its interests towards the appraisement of the ideals of true manhood and womanhood, and of an elevated citizenship with its accorded rights and privileges. It was an evidence of regret at the loss of the services of this efficient and honorable man to our educational system and civic life, yet an assurance that we do not begrudge his advancement and rise in life, but wish him even greater success—for every such record among our race is an inspiration to its individual members. It was an augur that his fertile brain and larger soul will be equal to the increased responsibilities of his new field at Langston, and that like credit will be given our brother in Oklahoma, by his measuring up to his greater responsibilities and higher honors, as he reflected while laboring on the free soil of Kansas. The unexpectedness of this outburst obviously affected Mr. Marquess, who, in a masterly speech of acceptance, returned the compliments paid him, and expressed his gratefulness for the friendships formed here, and the hearty co-operation received in his efforts of betterment and uplift. W. B. TOWNSEND, OLD WAR HORSE WRITES! Denver Colo., May 25, 1916. Editor Plaindealer: Your Plaindealer came today, and I note the nice things you had to say about me, and the fight I have been making to resent the insults and injustice heaped upon the race. The Republicans here were in authority and had the power, under the law, to refuse to allow the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation," better known as "The Curse of a Nation" from showing in Denver. Though we appealed to the Republicans to protect us from the insults and harm that, that infamous photo play inflicted, our appeals and protests were ignored and the show was allowed to appear here, leaving increased prejudice against the race and increased hardships for us to bear. The Republicans who were responsible for allowing the Negro voters to be insulted, came on for re-election on the 9th day of May inst. The chief offender against the Negroes was a Mr. Nisbet, who had done so many mean things to our race by acts of commission and omission. He ran for sheriff in the recent election. Now, I want to tell you that since the result of that election all of the Republicans in Denver have a higher regard for Negro womanhood and manhood rights than they have ever had before, for they have been taught that important lesson by an ignominious defeat. I claim some of the glory of having been brave enough to lead the solid Negro vote against the "lily white" Republicans and Negro haters. They were all buried beneath a 40,000 majority, and a non-partisan set of officers for Denver was elected and our contention for justice has been vindicated. I am satisfied that the local Republicans in Denver will always remember the first class trimming up they got at the hands of the Negro voters, who have heretofore voted the party ticket and have been rewarded only by neglect and gross mistreatment. The Negro must remember that he is of all things first a man, with rights to protect by his ballot—after that he may consider parties. By so doing it will be easier for him to get fair treatment and justice in this country. Yours for the race. Omaha Nebr., May 19, 1916. To Sir Frank Wilson, C. G. M., of Kansas-Nebraska Jurisdiction of Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Topeka, Kansas: On receiving the sad news of the death of Sir William Core, C. G. T., was a distinct shock to us all. Whereas, the long and intimate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties as C. G. T., in this Jurisdiction, makes it eminently befitting that we the Grand Officers, Presiding Officers and Knights and Daughters of Omaha and District No. 5 record our appreciation of him. Whereas, it is ordained that man after having solved the problem of life must lay down his burden and render to God an account of his stewardship of the trusts confided to the body, and whereas on May 16, 1916 there departed from the body of Sir William Core, C. G. T., a soul illuminated by the Omnipotence of his Creator and purified by a life of devotion to a God given trust. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 2, 1916 The image shows a group of people standing in a wooded area. They appear to be engaged in a conversation or observing something in the background. The setting is likely outdoors, given the presence of trees and foliage. The individuals are dressed in formal attire, suggesting a formal event or gathering. The abve gharrity picture represents the lynching of five Negroes in Lee County, Georgia, which occurred January 20, 1916. All five were hanged on one tree, and this diabolical deed will go down in history as one of the worst deeds known to civilization. While the Americans are down in Mexico trying to rob the Mexican people, Uncle Samuel should stay at home and clean up his ownhouse. We pray that the Almighty will send a curse on those who have stained their hands with human blood and all who sympathize with such hellish deeds. The colored soldiers who are in Merico trying to do the government's bidding should be kept in this country to protect poor, helpless colored people who are lynched on very flimsy excuses. We hope God will move, and pour His wrath cut on such damnable brutes and enemies to civilization. Resolved, that in the death of Sir William Core, C. G. T., the Sir Knights and Daughters of Kansas-Nebraska Jurisdiction have lost a Sir Knight who unselfishly strove by every honorable means in his power and who bent every energy to make his order the greatest among mankind, that the race has lost a champion and an advocate whose qualities will be fully recognized only after time enables us to compare them with those of less devoted and less courageous. Be it further resolved to the C. G. M., C. G. P., to his Palatium and to his associates in the Grand Temple we tender our brotherly sympathy in this mutual bereavement. Resolved, that we deeply sympathize with the surviving members of his family and relation in their dark hour of bereavement and point them to Him who can give comfort in the hour of distress. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our joint meeting, a copy sent to the family of the deceased and a copy sent to The Topeka Plaindealer. He is now safe on the golden shore. His trials on earth are no more, His council no more his voice we'll hear, He is dwelling now on a brighter sphere. Fraternally yours, C. M. JOHNSON, G. P. P. A. M. HARROLD, V. G. M. The Citizens' Forum, with Mrs. Willa Dwiggins, the president, presiding, enjoyed a very interesting program Sunday and adjourned for the summer. Mrs. Hammel of Kansas City, Mo., rendered two very excellent solos for the Forum and the very hearty applause showed the great appreciation.

Negro Methodists Will Ask Congress to Take Action to Prevent Mob Violence. A commission was appointed by the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Philadelphia to memorialize the Congress of the United States to make lynchings a federal offense. The commission is headed by Bishops W. D. Chapelle, H. B. Parks and C. T. Shaffer. Resolutions favoring preparedness and in opposition to segregation and "Jim Crow" laws were adopted. The resolution on preparedness, which was introduced by Rev. R. C. Ransome of New York, follows: "As for preparedness, we wish to go unreservedly on record. "Naturally a people who furnished 188,000 soldiers, when slaves, for the salvation of the Union, would now, as freemen, recruit to its full manhood strength to protect the flag and country. We believe in mobilizing both men and industries and in putting at the head of this army in the president's chair a true and tried American patriot, a man who stands for a quare deal for all classes and who believes in the Roosevelt doctrine of 'All men up and not some men down.'" A. M. E. CHURCH DEBATES ROOSEVELT INVITATION Philadelphia.—Delegates to the quadrennial conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, by a vote of 342 to 236, adopted a resolution asking Theodore Roosevelt to address the conference.

A heated debate between admirers of the former president and delegates who opposed him followed the intrduction of the resolution. NEGRO COLLEGE GETS BIBLE ABRAHAM LINCOLN OWNED Nashville, Tenn.—President F. A. McKenzie, of Fisk University, the Negro institution, announces the gift by Robert T. Lincoln of a Bible that was presented to former President Abraham Lincoln by Negroes in Baltimore in 1864. In presenting the book Mr. Lincoln said: "It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institution where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by General Clinton Bowen Fisk immediately upon the conclusion of a distinguished military service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." Bulletin No. } A Mistake in the Policy of To the Public: The Senate of the United States has passed a bill to spend $11,000,000 of the People’s money to build a government armor plant. The measure is now be- fore the House of Representatives. It $s oald that manufacturers of armor have “gouged” the country in the past, that a government plant is necessary to secure armor cheaply. The mistake of the Bethlehem Steel Company hag been that it has hept quiet. We have allowed irresponsible assertions to be made for so long without denial, that many people now believe them to be proven facts. . . We shall make the mistake of silence no longer, . Henceforth we shall pursue a policy of publicity. Misinformation will not be permit- ted to go uncorrected. F It is and has been the policy of our Company to deal with the American Gov- ernment fairly and squarely. < We shall henceforth place the details of our relations with the Government be- fore the American People. The United States has for twenty years obtained the highest grade of armor and has paid a lower price for it than has any other naval power, P Figures officialy compiled for the Senate Committee on Naval Affaire from the Navat i Year Book show that under conditions prevailing just before the Europcan war, the chief naval powers of the world were paying these prices for armor; England, $503 per ton; France, $460; Germany, $100; Japan, $490; United States, $425 A Government plant cannot make armor any cheaper than we can do it; and— We are prepared to manufacture armor at any price which the Government it- self shall name as fair. THAT BEING SO, SHOULD $11,000,000 OF THE PEOPLE'S MONEY BE WASTED TO BUILD A GOVERNMENT PLANT? . HWAB, Chai SUSENE G°GRAGE, President Bethlehem Steel Company STERLING, KANSAS.

"IESSE HESS PLATFORM, To the Republican Voters: , Fe ee ee ae ee sence ee a een entered the race for congress from this, the Seventh district, I do this because I feel the need of a person who will support principles that are of interest to the people as a whole, end not those laws that are sectional or of Interest to any certain class or classes. To begin with, I wish to state that I am {in no way connected with any large or small corporations that will in the least control or de- ter me from giving every person in the Seventh district, in the state of Kansas, and In the Nation, my best efforts to put forth those principles most desired by the people. I have never asked the people to elect me to office, nor have I been a chronic officeseeker, and from the fact that one has had tha desire does not in the least stand forth as @ qualification that he {s more com- petent than others; and further- more, I promise the people of this district that I will not seck or be- come a candidate fer any other of- fice during the term for which I am elected. That the voters may understand my position on matters of public in- terest, I will state that I believe in those doctrines of Republicanism under which this country has for the past half century progpered as no other people or nation has. The first duty of the Republican party when it comes into power again will be to write a protective tariff law and provide for a tariff commission of disinterested experts, The business, labor and industries of the country cannot well wait for 8 tariff revision until after the com- mission has reported. We want to start up every old industry and many new ones at the carliest pos- sible moment, The rights of labor should be se- cured and maintained everywhere in our country. ‘The increase of our national wealth, sugmented by. developing industries and trade, should be participated in by those who do manual and brain work as well as by thore who provide the working funds, I believe in the public utility board, national woman suffrage, na- tional prohibition and a greater na- tional defense, that we may be as- sured of permanent peace. That thera will be trouble abroad, even after a treaty of peace between the warring nations has been secured, seems most probable. We cannot afford to take the risk of not being prepared to defend ourselves and our rights. With regard to the great war and os regards Mexico, the present administration has made an ultimate failure in this, inas- much, first, his failures in piepared- nese; second, his failure to protect the lives of our own :‘tizens on the high eas, in foreign countries and within our own limits; third, his failure to do his duty in Mexico; and fourth and lastly, his failure to do his duty in Belgium, It is not our duty to reform the whole world, but it is our duty to guarantee to American citizens whom we invite to engage In for- eign trade and undertakings that so Jong ss they follow peaceful and le- gitimate pursuits they will receive the attention and support of the American government and the pro- tection of the American flag. But we must not become military mad. Our highest duty Is to America, We should use every effort to ad- vance the interests of our own country and our own people, with a single eye for the advancement of American prosperity, American civ- flization, American intelligence and American morality, I stand upon a platform for hon- est government, My desre is to prov mote the best interests of the whole people, and all I ask is for the pri-| mary, August Ist, 1916, to nominate me as the Republican candidate for| Be ee EA ee Your support is desired and re- quested and I assure you'will be ap- preclated. Thanking you {in advance for your consideration and support, I am, very respectfully, JESSE HESS, Republican Candidate for Congress, Seventh District, Primary August Ist, 1916, Ee | OR (Left Over from Last Week.)

One of the oldest as well as best conducted places of the tace in To- Pcha, is the Charles Cafe, located jat 108 and 110 Kansas avenue, op- posite the Rock Island depot. He and his brother opened business in 1881, and the place has been going every since, We dropped in to see the place, and found it strictly san- itary, and everything to please the most fastidious, For a long time it was Charles Bros, but now it ig Charles & Son. Besides a swell eat- ing place, Mr, Charles has twenty- one good rooms to accommodate the public, He and his good wife are identified with every move which means the advancement of the race. Mr. Charles 18 chairman of the trustee board of the Second Baptist church, and his good wife is treas- urer of the building fund of the church. When you desire a genuine good meal, lunch or short order, re- member the Charles Cafe. eee We dropped in on Mr, G. J. Coleman, who has been in business for the past twenty-five years in Topeka, He is located at 116 N, Kansas avenue, where he owns two valuable business houses in which he conducts a grocery and feed bus- iness. He informed us that he was doing very well, and had no right to complain. He is a thorough business man, and one who believes in doing things. Me sald he re Gretted very much that so few men of the race did not try to do some- thing other than work for the “other fellow.” —x——_—. ROLEY. ORLA. POF OaiCm——i0U “acres.

The instrumental selections by Miss Evelyn Thomas, Miss Reita Dandridge, Miss Ethel Woolridge and Miss Leana Brown were highly pleasing; the vocal solo by Mrs. Essie Clark was soul-inspiring; the violin solo by Mr. Erma McCord, with Miss Flosse Walker as pianist was grand indeed and the recital by Miss Aritha Dorsey was a rare treat; but the surprise was the pipe organ imitation by Miss Leana Brown and Lottie Dunn, which was enjoyed by all. PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED. The Misses Florence Aritha and Rachel Lucile Dorsey, daughters of John M. Dorsey, of The Plaidealer force, arrived in the city on Friday of last week, and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Chiles and daughter, Miss Thelma, 914 Buchanan street, and so royally were they entertained that both have declared their intention of compelling their "dad" to let them reside here. Sight Seeing. Last Saturday was spent in "seeing Topeka," Miss Thelma Chiles and Miss Clara Lamberson guiding. Saturday night they were the guests of Mr. McKinley Warfield at the Apex theatre. Sunday morning they attended St. John A. M. E. church and heard a splendid sermon by Rev. Frank J. Peck, and in the afternoon, in company with their pa, they heard Rev. Fishback deliver the U. B. F. and S. M. T. annual sermon, and the rest of the afternoon was spent with Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Johnson and Miss Edna, 701 College avenue, in a very pleasant manner. Monday was spent in seeing more of Topeka, Mrs. Minnie Chiles guiding. On Monday night Miss Reita Dandridge, at the home of her parents, 708 E. Eighth street, very royally entertained a host of young people in honor of the Misses Dorsey. Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. G. W. Hamilton was hostess for a line party to the Apex theatre, afterward visiting the People's drug store where delicious ices were partaken of. Tuesday night Miss Edna Johnson very pleasantly entertained a host of young people in their honor. U. B. F. AND S. M. T. The annual Thanksgiving sermon of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. was held Sunday afternoon at the Second Baptist church, Third and Quincy streets, the Rev. C. G. Fishback, A. M., officiating. After the exercises of the order were concluded, the speaker selected his theme from the book of Esther and made an excellent plea for unity in action by the race not only in secret work, but in business and along all lines for race elevation; but the strongest plea was for the lodges not to attempt to usurp the powers of the work of the church of the Most High God. Rev. Fishback's discourse was full of interest to the race, was timely and to the point. The parade of the Order, headed by Jackson's Twenty-third Regiment band, was an imposing sight and was witnessed by hundreds of Topekans. The full seating capacity of the church was taxed and standing room was at a premium, and at that, there were several hundred on the outside who could not get in. As usual, the S. M. T. ladies discounted the men in appearance, for with their purple robes and crowns and laces or gold they were good to behold. The burnout of these bodies showed a remarkable growth of the order since last year and if this pace is maintained it will not be long before the U. B. F. and S. M. T. will be the ranking secret order of Topeka. WANTED—A good Dress Maker at once. Address Mrs. C. Ridley, 156½ N. Santa Fe, Salina, Kansas. This is a steady job for a good, intelligent woman.

We take off our old hat to the veteran bandmaster and his able assistant, Mr. David H. Beard and also to Mr. John Ferguson, veteran cornetist.

Beginning Monday, June 5th the Apex theatre enters the third week of its new policy. Very gratifying indeed have been the many compliments paid the new pictures, and it is hoped that many more will avail themselves of the opportunity to see "the best pictures on earth," not what the management calls the best but what are actually the best. One of the large uptown theatres is actually paying over $1,000 per month for the same service the Apex is now showing. In the large cities the contracts range from $7,500 per week downward and in one instance twenty-one contracts total over $26,000 per week. Many of these theatres charge regular show prices; that is, up to $2 per seat for these pictures. There must be a reason for such admissions and also for such fabulous rentals. A visit to the Apex on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday will open your eyes and you will see the why of these things. Next Weeks' Program Next Weeks' Program Hereafter, on Monday and Thursday will be shown the serials, "Graft" and "The Girl and the Game," and with them two selected single reels. The price of admission will be 5 cents. Time of shows: 2:30, 3:30, 7:15 and 10:15. We believe that the people of Topeka are sufficiently well acquainted with our serial standard to know that the fact that we book it is positive proof of its excellence. For Tue-day and Wednesday we have booked "The Martyrs of the Alamo," Fine-Arts-Gliffith production, an unusual story based on the crisis of the fight of Texas for independence from Mexico. The New York Tribune says of it: "The most successful campaign which has ever been waged across a screen." The Philadelphia Press: "There is a thrill to every foot of film in 'The Martyrs of the Alamo.'" In addition to this big romantic military spectacle Hale Hamilton, the well known actor from Topeka, will appear in "Her Painted Hero," a ritiously funny story of a stage-struck lassie. Its a Keystone and Keystones are the best comedies made. William S. Hart comes Friday and Saturday, June 9th and 10th in his great western feature, "The Disciple." Persons who saw Mr. Hart in "On the Stage" and "The Darkening Trail" need only to be told that he is to appear again. So flawlessly produced was the picture that he, himself says of it: "The Disciple" is only one of several of the new sort of Western dramas I hope to make, but it illustrates my point exactly. And frankly, I am proud of it." Absolutely clear photography and perfect attention to the minutest detail characterize this stirring tale of the Wild West. Wild flights and falls in the air, swift auto and motorcycle races on the land and a dynamited yacht figure largely in making "Saved by Wireless" a thrilling as well as fun-provoking Keystone comedyt Chester Conklin, Mack Swain, Harry McCoy and Ora Carew pull off new stunt after new stunt throughout the entire production. Especial attention is called to the time of our Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday shows. Only one show in the afternoon, starting with the Keystone at 2:30 and the main feature beginning about 3:00. Two shows in the evening at 7:15 and 9:00. The main feature begins about 7:45 and 9:30. We are anxious that you make it a point to come at one of the above hours. By so doing you will see the first reel of the picture first, will not be annoyed by not knowing what has gone before and will find the picture ten times as pleasing. --- "Her Friend, the Enemy," was drama in four acts, was beautifully staged at the Second ("B" St.) Baptist church Wednesday night by the Lane Chapel dramatic club under management of Mrs. M. K. Hardy, but the audience was rather limited in numbers, but most appreciative. The players were exceptionally good in their parts, really better than amateurs. Mr. Claude Mothel as "Capt. Fernbrook;" Mr. Herman Pinkard as a scapegrace; Mr. Harry Lewis as "Col. James Burton;" Mr. Walter Fisher as "Lieut. Berkley Burton;" Mr. Wm. Bradshaw as "Zebediah Jenks;" Mr. Roy Hardy and Miss Lessie Williams as "Lige and Chloe;" Miss Bessie Radford as "Diana Burton;" Miss Marguerite Alexander as "Mrs. Burton;" Miss Edna Ramsey as "Addie Jenks;" and Mr. George Radford as a sergeant in the Confederate army, were up to the minute all through the play and showed that Mrs. Hardy had exercised diligent care in the training. The play was worth more than the admission fee. (First Published in The Topeka Plaindealer, May 26, 1916.) On the District Court of Shaw- nee County, Kansas. Division Seda Dunnell, Plaintiff, 18.

We are still on the map if we have been dormant for sometime. We have not nevertheless been asleep. Many happenings worthy of note have occurred here, but the time for publication was not at hand until the present time. Rev. J. A. Broadnax, officiating minister of the A. M. E. church, is progressing still under many oppressions. Such as an improvement of the addition of a basement to his church. His work here is above reproach and in his own way with the passing of time, he will reap his desired alm. By the sudden and shocking death of Mrs. Harriet Griffin, we lose one of our most cultured, noble and honorable women. She is missed in the community by all, as she was always able to give biblical advice, historical information and spread sunshine everywhere. Mrs. Griffin was one of the foremost and leading club women of the city. She was president of the Ladies Progressive Reading and Art club and an active member of the Bishop Parks Mite Missionary society. Her place is forever vacant and one which can never be filled in our societies—both literary and biblically. Mr. Ell Johnson one of the oldest and most beloved citizens, is dangerously ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Nannie Davy. Mr. Charles Davy is in a critical condition at this writing. Mr. Paul Crews, who had been seriously ill is gradually improving in health. Mr. and Mrs. Bedford Wilkes were visited by the stork. The gift was a darling daughter. Rev. Roy, who for some months had charge of the Second Baptist church, deserves much commendation for having started or revived the church and placed it on a truer foundation. By Rev. Roy's faithfulness, the church is now progressing slowly. The Odd Follows honored Roy. Roy by having him officiate on the second Sunday in May, preaching their annual sermon. He delivered to them a good, logical sermon. The Second Baptist church now at present having under organization one of the leading literary societies of the state or in their district.
