Griffin, Veteran Newspaper Man, Answers © the Call of His, Maker! The Grim Reaper Made the Cell for the Har. vest About 10 O'Clock Last Friday Night at the Elevator Office in Kansas City! Honor to Mr. Robert Reeves. Hon. A. D. Griffiny veteran in the camp of newspaperdom, has cwritten “finls” at the end of life's Journey. Death claimed him as a vktim Friday night, June 2, 1916. At fhe moment {that desth called, Mr. Griffin was mailing out the week's Issue of the Kansas Eleva- tor, his last venture in the nows- paper field, this latest publication having been ‘compnenced in Febru- ary last and was on that road ‘which leads 40 success. Although the Kansas Elevator was published es a defense of Democracy, it was, however, a strong race defender and Sts editorials slong race lines were inspiring and uplifting. = + A. D. Grffin had been in the journalistic field many years and inot @ colored man, and but few white men, had the gift of genlality postesepd by this man, But his life qwas of a roving nature, possessed of a desire to see as much of the world as was possible to see on lim- ited finances, His biggest success was on the Pacific coast, where at one time he owned a string of pa- pers from San Francisco to Port- land ond aé far east as Montana. Mr, Griffin was a believer in-blg forporations, and it was through this stand in favor of big finance that he was successful, for his pa- pers were supported prineipally through advertising from the corpo- rations. ‘Mr. Griffin came to the Plain. dealer in 1907 from Portiand, Ore., and almost from the first day of his connection therewith business “picked up” and vp until a fow months ago he continved with this paper as a tireless worker, and there is hardly a city or village in Kansas in which does not live some man who claims Mr. Griffin as a friend. Although Mr. Griffin's educé- tional resources were limited, as compared with the affairs of today, yet his niother-wit and common On the 13th day of lart fApmil Mr. Robert Reeves had been (as he continues to be) in the employ of Mr, and Mrs. Charles S. Gleed, of 104 Greenwood avenue, Topeka, Just twenty-five years. In that perlod Mr. Reeves has cared for house, lawn ond garden; has selected and trained many valuable horses, at Yeast one of which became famous as a racer (Pat, My Boy—mark 2:17 3-4), and has mastered the in- tricacies of motor cars, both gas and —_ | a ae 2 ee : bd ered | bre as tip aa a = electric, He has been for long perl- ods at a time custodian of the Gleed home with its valuable books and plelures inthe absence of the fam. fly, and has recelved and expended large sums of money in buying horses, paying current bille and for other purposes, ‘At the end of his quarter of a century of service Mr. and Mre, Gleed presented Br. ‘Reeves ‘a letter’ ot ‘thanks and cons horse sense were sufficient to place him sway up and high beyond many Fren of high book learning. During the administration of Gov. Geo, Hi. Hodges, 1913-15, Mr, Griffin was appointed a member of the trusteo board of Western Uni. versity and was elected president of the board and served with honor and dignity, putting into practice business principles that made great ieadway for that school, making alzo many improvements In the sur- roundings. At the me of his death Mr. Griffin was one ot the leading col- ored Democrats as a candidate for appointment as recorder of deeds for the district of Columbia, and no man, white or black, ever presented to the powers that be at Washing. ton stronger letters of endorsement than were sent in by Mr. Griffin— expressions from men high in the councils of Democracy, not only in Kansas, but the West In general, including ministers, judges, sena- tors, representatives, and business men in all walks of life. The news of his death was a gi- gantle shock to thousands of people from the Mississippi to the Pacific coast. His remains were shipped to Shreveport, La., where an aged Yather and a sister sat transfixed in sadnesa“and despair, awaiting all ‘that was mortal of this son and brother. | Tt was a little over a year ago that Mr. Griffin “nad a hankering” to go back to the scenes of his birth and he went, after an absence of many years. A conscientious Christian gentle- man has departed from us and the place left vaent can never be filled.

It lgoes without saying that Mr. and Mrs. Gleed have pald well for the services they have re- celved, but all the money pey which has come to Mr. Reeves is not 0 valuable to him as the letter which bears cordial and sincere testimony to the fact that in all the long years of varied service he has never once failed In doing his duty and has never, in any way abused the con- fidence which has been reposed in him, The record made by Mr. Meeves is a wonderful one well worthy to be imitated by all our people, And scarcely less wonderful je the frank and unstinted recognition of it by the employers, who have thus added Inspiring words to previous gnod pay, The treatment given employes by their employers has quite aa’ much do with securing good service as the money paid.

L. Majors and his assistants of the Oxford College were without doubt convinced that there is considerable merit In the preparations and treatments of the Oxford system, and that hair cul- ture has been really developed along acientifie principles. Majors’ Oxford College showed by these’ demonstrations just what has been achieved within the 21 months in business and they have undoubted. ly made more progress than any other similar concern. This college has ample laboratory facilities and manufactures more than seventeen different preparations which are guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Since the first of the year the colored people of Kansas City have been discussing plans and forming preliminary or- ganizatjons for the comfort and en- tertainment of the hundreds of vis- Nors who will be their guests dur- ing the month of August. No small part of thelr attention is centering around the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League and our delegates may be assured a most cordial reception, Mr, For- tune J, Weaver, the popular and aggrerslve president of the Kansas City Local Negro Business League, has written the most encouraging letters to the secretary of the na- tional league regarding the pros pects for a successful meeting.

It would be good business for us to make armor for the Government at any price over and above the actual shop cost, RATHER THAN SACRI- FICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. We do not seek to save big profits; our purpose {a very frankly to save our armor plant—itself built solely for the use of the Governmept—from going to the acrap heap, ee @ To do that, we are prepared to agree for any period to any terms of manufac. ture which the Federal Trade Comntission shall say absolutely protects the Government of the United States.

Below we are giving notes touching the race at McAlester. Race Notes, The Davis tonsorial parlor is three chair shop owned and oper: ated by that expert tonsorial artist Mr. J. D. Davis, who has been » Knight of the razor and strop for twenty years. He is not only a good barber, but « true citizen, own- ing a good home presided over by o cultured wife, Mrs. Davis being one of the city teachers. These good people read the Plaindesler, and what we mean, pay for it. A physician of the race who {fe not only well versed In medicine, but all the leading topics as well, is Dr. E. W. South. He is s solid man, and since his graduation in 1903 from Meharry Medical College he has been practicing medicine and to- day he is able to boast of one of the best practices of any man of our race. For thirteen years Dr. South has rolled pills at South Me- Alester and has won the hearts of the people. His home Is a modern one, and Mrs, South is a cultured Christian lady, a true helpmeet. Dr. South has four rental houses and twenty acres of farm land. His life has been one that young men of our race can well afford to imitate. One of our popular physicians is Dr. O. H. Smith, now practicing at McAlester, This young man is the product of the University of ‘West Tennessee, of Memphis, class of 1910, His early training was se- cured at Bishop Colleke, Marshall Texas, where he finished in 1906, In Dr, Smith the race has an able man, as gentleman of the old school, and we predict for him a bright fature. The Cottage cafe is the leading eating place for the ‘race at MeAles. ter, It 1s located at $23 E, Choc taw street and is owned and oper- ated by Mr, A. L. Golden, and what we desire to leave with you {s, he fs some cook and his kome-cook ing keeps the place filled with pa trone at all times, However, we must give it to Mrs, Golden, who it the “real boss” at the Cottage. They are leading people and own prop. erty at MeAlester and Boley. Thes geod people are live busines folks and will succeed. Mr, and Mrs. Golden are true Baptists and ar Identified with every move whic means race elevation. Mr, Golder eald that “to get rid of some of Sis fer Golden’s talk,” he recently mad ber a present of a high class pian and that she: mow spends most o: Fe re ee eee eee ae High class tailoring is what Mr. F, Randall does at 341 East Choc. taw street, McAlester, This young man has a nice place and {s kept busy because every plece of work turned out by him fs sent under e guarantee. Mr, Randall has been a tailor for five years and is one of the best in our race. In Mr. Ran- dall we have an exceptionally fine young man, who owns a good home and is identified with every move which means the betterment of the race. The scribe called at thie place and found it crowded with work, It was our pleasure to meet Hon, E, E. McDaniel of McAlester, who is a representative citizen and who fs one of our best known men, Te has just completed a contract of 300,000 yards of rock ballast for the Midland Valley railroad, in which 75 men of the race were employed. The foreman, engineer—in fact every man connected with the camp was colored, and more than $60,000 was involved. Mr. McDaniel has just put on the McDaniel Heights ‘addition, adjoining Muskogee on the north, in which there are 376 lots, which will be sold on ensy terms to our people. For years this excel- lent man has been a conspicuous fig- ure In the affairs of the race, and at present is treasurer of the endow- ment department of the Masonic lodge of Oklahoma, a position he is filling with credit, A strong pres- sure is being brought to bear to in- duce this excellent man to make the race for grand chancellor of the K. of P, of Oklahoma, and from what we see and hear Mr, McDaniel will be elected. The McDaniel family is one of the foremost of the race, each member being a real doer. His long years of experience along busi- ness lines makes him the man for the position of grand chancellor. For elghteen years he has been a railroad contractor, having been em- ployed by the leading railronds of the country, The McDanlel _resl- dence is one of the best in Oklaho- ma, being a two-story and a swell home indeed, Mrs. McDaniel at present ie matron at Langston Unl- versity and jt is said that she is making one of the best the school has ever had, A son, Edgar E. Me- Daniel, Jr, an expert bookkeeper, is secretary of the university, This young man {s not only a prepared man, but an {deal fellow, one of the race’s ripe scholars, being a gradv- ate of Ferris Institute, Miss Blanche, a daughter, [a a student, and Miss Harel, another daughter, is one of the popular teachers in the Tulaa colored high school, They are frm betflevers in Negro enterprise and are true apostles of prepared. hess, so far as educating Negru boys and girls is concerned. Men jot Mr. McDanfet’s caliber should be |put at the head of our Institutions, |Which would mean that they would ‘be wisely mansged and the masses of the race would get a square deal, |"Bince assuming the principalshly of the MeAlester colored high schoo! elght years ago, Prof. J. Wilson Pettus has gradually built it up until today it takes front rank among the many excellent achools we have. The scribe dropped in at this school. The building {s a two-story nine. roém brick with basement and prin. cipal’s office. “There are 410 bright boys and girls enrolled as pupils, re. ceiving thorough, training that they may take their stand as men and women, thereby helping in the ma. terial advancement of the country. In the selection of his teachera wise discretion has been exercised, and the educators working with Prof. Pettus are all that one can expect, as each one possesses a ripe brain and is able to impart knowledge to others. Knowing what to vo in the school room, and being blessed with pleasing personalities, they are ac. complishing much for the zace. The prineipal {a a cultured man, having finished at Fisk University, class of 1897, and by merit had two degrees loaded on him when he left—A B, and A. M, which are not bad things for an educator to have at- tached to his name. He is a factor in summer normal work having more than made good along this specific line.

The Afro-American, a breezy newspaper of our race published at Baltimore, Md., has installed a model 8 Linotype, which cost $3,600. That's the way the Negro print shop must equip itself. In the near future we shall pay our respects to the actions of the A. M. E. general conference and to the bishop of the Fifth district, and unless we have a change of heart it is certain to be not to the liking of many. So, watch out! Hempstead, another Texas town located only a few miles from his Satanic Majesty's home (hell), could not stand for Waco to put one over, and lynched a Negro on the public square recently. Such damnable Negro-hating places should be wiped off the map. Editor Carter of the Lantern, the official organ of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of Oklahoma, died at Muskogee recently after a short illness. Editor Carter was at one time connected with The Plaindealer and in his death the printing fraternity loses an able artist, both as a writer and a printer. Those aspiring to office and who desire the support of the colored voters are using the announcement columns of the colored newspaper. The Plaindealer offers an unexcelled medium for reaching the colored race, and our people are requested to give their support to those who are liberal enough to advertise in this paper. It now seems that the worldly affairs of earth are making great inroads upon the church. Except on special occasions there is plenty of room nowadays in most of our churches on Sundays, both morning and evening. There was a time when standing room was at a premium, so eager were saint and sinner to hear the gospel. If the law permitted the opening of Sunday theaters the churches would probably be minus a congregation. --- The Negro must hit prejudice a telling blow on all occasions, and not be so much given to "grinning" whenever an injustice is done him. Be manly and meet issues in a manly way when they come up. Bowing and scratching your head, etc., doesn't mean politeness, nor does it help our condition one lota. The colored man must not be contented with anything less than a "square deal," and the sooner we make up our minds to demand some things, the sooner we will get them. The A. M. E. general conference appointed a commission to memorialize congress to make lynching a federal offense. This great body also passed resolutions favoring preparedness and in opposition to segregation and Jim Crowl aws. Hlit 'em every time you get a chance, because the black man must not be willing to be kicked around without offering opposition to the kicker. As a race, we must exercise more manhood, and we are heartily in accord with the move made by the great A. M. E. church. The Plaindealer's traveling man has invaded Kansas and will, from week to week, give the world a "line" on the colored man's progress in the Sunflower state. He will "whoop 'em up," commencing with Topeka, and while giving descriptive write-ups of the race, will put forth double efforts to collect old accounts and sell the paper to those who are not subscribing for the same. Every colored person with a poocful of sense and who claims Kansas as his home should be a paid up subscriber—and we will be around to see you. Don't hand us encrypses, as they are no good when it comes t running a newspaper. CHERRYVALE, KAN. Miss Murray of Sedan is in the city the guest of Mrs. Hattie Terry.

Miss Rose Hutchinson, a teacher at Tulsa, Okla., was the guest of her sister, Mrs. Tom Shepherd, Saturday between trains. She was accompanied by her friend and coworker in the school room, Miss Alice Rodgers. Rev. Davis went to Coffeyville Sunday to preach the three o'clock sacramental sermon. His wife and baby went with him. Mr Murial Radcliffe accidentally shot himself in the head Monday while trying to shoot a cat. The wound, while not dangerous, is very painful. Be careful, boys, while handling firearms, in which direction you shoot. Wedding bells will be ringing in the near future. Communion services were observed in Rev. Jordan's church Sunday last, and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in refreshing showers was thankfully received. Since the coming of warm weather the Sunday schools of the city have taken on new life and the attendance at both churches is splendid. All the strangers in the city are welcome at all the services. Mrs. Morris, husband and baby visited friends in Coffeyville over Sunday. They were accompanied home by Mrs. Morris' little sister, Sara, who will reside with them. Our people in this neck of Kansas should have a little more race pride. Whenever you find one of your own race competent to do a piece of work, however small, employ him instead of the white man. In that way we help each other to build up. That is the way they do. Miss Olivia V. Porter, Grand Matron of the O. E. S. of Kansas, is in the city making her annual visit.

The attention of the department of commerce is called, by the president of a large paper manufacturing company, to the fact that there is a serious shortage of raw material for the manufacture of paper, including rags and old papers. He urges that the department should make it known that the collecting and saving of rags and old papers would greatly better existing conditions for American manufacturers. Something like 15,000 tons of paper and paper board are manufactured every day in the United States and a large proportion of this, after it has served its purpose, could be used over again in some class of paper. A large part of it however, is either burned or other- onfuls less of H" Something To Remember! Over one hundred thousand dollars is paid out every year in wages alone, all spent In Topeka. Over twenty-six thousand dollars was paid in taxes last year. wise wasted. This, of course, has to be replaced by new material. In the early history of the paper industry publicity was given to the importance of saving rags. It is of scarcely less importance now. The department of commerce is glad to bring this matter to the attention of the public in the hope that practical results may flow from it. A little attention to the saving of rags and old papers will mean genuine relief to our paper industry and a diminishing drain upon our sources of supply for new materials. A list of dealers in paper stocks can be obtained from the local chamber of commerce or board of trade. WILLIAM C. REDFIELD, Secretary.

WEIWOKA, OKLA. The surprise entertainment given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Coffey, in their honor, by their five children and several grandchildren who live here, was an event they greatly enjoyed on Mother's day, and one which all will long remember. The four children who live in other states would have added to the joy if they could have been present. All the schools in the county are now closed. The closing exercises of Douglass school, this city, were the greatest in the history of the school. The churches would accommodate about half the people who presented themselves to witness the plays. The pupils of all grades deported themselves splendidly. The actors in "Trials of a Teacher," "The Ghost in the Kitchen," and "Uncle Josh and Aunt Jerusha," as well as the other parts, did credit to themselves and to the whole school. Increased interest and perfection were the noticeable features of the school work during the whole year. The lecture of Rev. Allen, pastor of the M. E. church, was highly instructive to the children and teachers. Helps like that from the other city pastors would mean much to the children and older people of the community, and would aid in the church work to a great extent. The teachers of the the county regret to report that only one eighth grade graduate was produced this year. But the lone graduate, Miss Alberta Crump of Wowoka, deserves the commendation of the entire county for holding up the race as against the dozen who failed and could not stand the test. Next year the list will be longer. Before many more years the superintendents and school boards are going to learn to employ only those teachers who can get results in their schools. The man who can produce the "stuff" will be the man wanted in the schools just as it already is in the banks and factories. Besides the certificates and diplomas that can be secured in various ways, a teacher is going to be measured by the number of graduates he can prepare to stand, the required tests. Many of the teachers are preparing to depart for the respective normals in the state. Seminole county is expected to furnish its part in the enrollment, especially at Langston. In a short time each school-in the county is going to send one or more pupils to some college. The large counties will do well to get busy.

The in- cidental expenses here run from $60 to $75 per month, and I have, thru a budget system, managed not to be behind one dollar for the conference year up to the present, I have preached five annual ser- mons this spring and am engaged to preach three more. I shall pay all back interest and, at least $700 on the principal mortgage debt on next Wednesday, I shall not stop until, hke I did with city debts on old St. John, put it in the clear and relieve the people of thelr unneces- sary burden, While I shall always hold Topeka 18 home and shall never forget my friends in Kansas and hope to be able to spend awhile tor a change in this beautiful sun- ny country...
