This is the kind of a man we need in office. Mr. W. T. Harwood has announced himself as a candidate for clerk of the district court of Douglas county. He is a young man whom his friends say deserves the office, which they say should be passed around, as the present incumbent has held it for two terms, and, while he is not a sound man, having but one leg, almost the same can be said of Mr. Harwood, who has a defective limb. He is a graduate of the K. U. law school and a taxpayer, and should be given recognition. He is one of the stalwart Republicans of that county, and says if elected he will only ask for two terms and will seek no sympathy from the fact that he is not a strong, able-bodied man. At present he is salesman for his father in a small country store, and also works on the farm. Mr. Harwood is an Ohioan by birth, but was reared in Douglas county. He is a married man, and as a poor boy has worked hard, not only to make of himself a better citizen, but to make the county a better place in which to live. The citizens of Douglas county are rallying to his support. FOR SHERIFF OF Mr. Ruck Woodward, one of the veterans of Douglas county, has announced himself as a candidate for sheriff, subject to the Republican primaries in August. He is one of the old war horses and fighting Republicans of Kansas and is one of the good citizens of Douglas 1890 county. He has a strong following, an no one ever doubts his sincerity, as he always does the proper thing to make a better community and better state. He was a fearless officer when sheriff and has brought many hardened criminals to justice. He knows no fear when it comes to performing his duty and has no favorites when it comes to law—all look alike to him. The Lawrence Democrat says: Mr. Woodward has been a resident of Douglas county sixty years and has held many places of trust in his own neighborhood and in the county. Wherever he has been placed he has always been faithful to the duties imposed upon him and has never faltered in his work. For four years he was sheriff of Douglas county and we have the first word of criticism from anyone as to his manner of doing his duty. HON. W. P. MONTGOMERY FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY Hon. W. P. Montgomery, a young stalwart Republican of Shawnee county, who is Kansas bred, Kansas fed and Kansas educated, has announced himself as a candidate for county attorney, subject to the Republican primaries next August. He was brought to Topeka by his parents when eight years of age and was educated in the Topeka schools and graduated from the A. high school here and the law department of Kansas University. He was connected with the law firm of Gloed, Wure & Gleed for a number of years. This firm has turned out more successful lawyers than any firm in the West. Mr. W. P. Montgomery's father, Mr. Frank C. Montgomery, was one of the most substantial Republicans in the West and his loyalty was never doubted. He was corresponding writer for the Kansas City Journal for a number of years and was the promoter of the old Kansas Boeze, of which he and Tom McNeal were owners. Young Montgomery is a man of great ability and his honesty and integrity can not be questioned. He is a loyal Republican and has been working in the harness for the party since before he was twenty-one years of age. He has gone over the state and made speeches for the party, and worked hard to perpetuate its name and bring success at every election. He is now assistant attorney general and has held this position for six years. He was admitted to the bar in 1907 and has made use of every minute of the time since. The duty assigned to him from that office has been the enforcement of different laws, and especially the prohibitory law, and his success has been wonderful along that line and has been the means driving wholesale and retail liquor dealers from the boundaries of Kansas. He was twice secretary to the speaker of the house and was there at the time the Jim Crow measure was introduced by prejudiced members, but through his activity they were defeated. He has also served the Kansas Day club as secretary for two years and in connection with that organization had much success. JOHN L. TROUTMAN FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER It gives us pleasure to announce that Mr. John L. Troutman, veteran Republican and genial citizen, has consented to allow his name to go before the voters of the Third Cmmissioner district of Shawnee county as a candidate for commissioner. Mr. Troutman has served as committeeman in his precinct and has never committed a wrong knowingly against any man, political or otherwise. He is a Christian gentleman and believes in doing right at all times. He has been a staunch friend of the colored people all his life. When but Topeka MR. RUCK WOODWARD. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 23, 1916 This coming from one of the opposition should be a doubly forceful recommendation. There may be some who say two terms is enough for any county office, but we are of the opinion that real efficiency only comes with long and continuous service, and we believe the average taxpayer is more interested in having men in office who know their duty and perform the same, than party uplift without efficiency. Miss Estelle Northrup, who has announced herself as a candidate M. MISS ESTELLE NORTHRUP. for register of deeds of Douglas county, subject to the Republican primaries, has been assured by the many voters that they will support her for the nomination. It looks as though she will be nominated without a struggle. Miss Northrup has lived in Lawrence ever since she was a girl, is a graduate of the Lawrence high school, attended the University of Kansas for a time, graduated in the bookkeeping and business course at the Lawrence Business college, and took a course in stenography. Miss Northrup had six years of practical experience as book-keeper in various lines of business and made a notable record for accuracy. Miss Northsup is the daughter of an old soldier, and her father was a member of Washington post No. 12, G. A. R., at the time of his death. She is an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the designer of a Kansas State flag which was adopted at a recent meeting of the state society. Miss Northrup has paid for her own schooling and made her own way ever since she was grown up, and has a very wide list of enthusiastic Lawrence friends, which will be extended through the county as the campaign proceeds. We find special pleasure in announcing the name of Hon. Willis A. Buck, who seeks the Republican nomination for sheriff of Crawford county, subject to the primaries to be held August 1. In this man we have a staunch Republican, a man who believes every man, regardless of color or previous condition, is entitled to a square dea., and in case Mr. Buck is nominated and elected, Crawford county will be able to boast of one of the best sheriffs in the state of Kansas. He is a thrifty man, being a breeder of blooded stock, and having successfully managed his own ```markdown ``` HON. WILLIS A. BUCK, affairs, is in a position to look after the affairs of the sheriff's office. Plaindealer He possesses all the ability required to make an ideal officer, and we believe our people will do their part in securing for him the Republican nomination for the office he seeks. The Plandealer has in him a good friend, and we are also glad to say he is a friend to every colored person who tries to act right. In helping him we will be doing that which will help our race. Rev. J. A. Hamlett, editor of the Christian Index, of Jackson, Tenn., was in Topeka last week enroute to Galveston, Tex., on business for the paper. Mr. Hamlett is a young prince of the C. M. E. church, as a writer, preacher and business man. He has no superior in any denomination and is doing effective work for the upbuilding of the C. M. E. church, and is determined that graft, greed and unchristian acts be eliminated from among the members of the church, especially those who are filling the pulpits and leading the people. He will go to Chicago this fall and take a post-graduate course at Northwestern University. He is prepar- A REV. J. A.

Mrs. Bertie Fine and son Jack went to Olathe Saturday to visit Mrs. Fine's uncle and aunt, Rev. and Mrs. Allen, and family, returning home Monday morning. Misses May and Nettie McNear came up from Fulton Saturday afternoon to visit friends and take part in the A. M. E. Sundayschool program. Miss Zenobia Handy of Butler, Mo., came over Saturday to visit friends. She returned home Sunday. Quite a crowd came down from LaCygne Saturday evening and took part in an entertainment at the A. M. E. church, which was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Mary Smith, who has been quite ill, is improving. Mrs. Cella Morton went to LaCygne Sunday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Fred Wilson. Mrs. Ella Fine, Misses Essie and Evangeline Lacey and Eva Morton went as delegates to Independence Sunday to attend the district conference. The A. M. E. Sunday school gave a Children's day program Sunday, which was quite a success. Mr. Ira Smith of the Topeka Plaindealer delivered a grand speech, which was enjoyed by all. Also, Rev. A. J. King, Robt. White and G. W. Arnold each made a few fine remarks. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Arnold went to Ft. Scott Tuesday and visited until Thursday with their daughter, Mrs. Georgia Neaves. They were accompanied home by their grandson, Master Roy, who will visit a few days with grandpa and grandma. Mrs. Mary Greer, W. P. of Golden Sheaf Temple No. 17, has been chosen as grand treasurer of the St M. T. lodge of the State of Kansas, to fill out the unexpired term of Mrs. Julia C. McDonald.

Tells of Chicago and Her People and the Royal Treatment Accorded Delegates-Other Items of Interest to the Colored American! Too much praise cannot be given the city of Chicago for the manner in which it entertained the delegates to the national convention. The Appomattox club, through the hospitality of the entertaining committee of Chicago, looked after the comfort of the colored guests and a banquet was served at the Elite cafe, and speeches were made by various delegates. Resolutions were passed and a committee appointed to meet the national committee to ask for the deduction of members of Congress and delegates to the convention if colored people were continued to be disfranchised. The Appomattox club has fine quarters in the 3400 block on Wabash avenue. They entertained on Saturday evening in honor of the guests, and over two hundred were present. On Sunday morning an automobile excursion was given and over one hundred visitors rode through the parks, boulevards and Michigan avenue, which was enjoyed by everyone. Much credit is due the Appomattox club, which is a political and social organization, and it has among its members some of the leading and best citizens of Chicago. They are men who are doing things and bringing things to pass for the race. While in Chicago we met our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Huff. Mr. Huff has been employed in the Pullman service over eighteen years and is one of the best men in the service. He is a Topeka young man, was born and reared here, and his mother and sister still live in this city. His father was a progressive man in his day and always handled a great deal of money, owned good property, and was one of the best hog raisers of his day. He died a few years ago and left his widow in good circumstances. Sherman, like his father, attends strictly to business and does not idle away his time. He was married to Mary V. Pride of Paxico. They have a beautifully furnished flat and are living as happily as two angels. 中 中 中 While in Chicago we were the guest of Mr. nd Mrs. J. H. Bowser, 3440 Wabash. They are among the most highly respected citizens of Chicago and have a host of friends. We certainly enjoyed their hospitality in company with our uncle, Jack Thompson of South Carolina, who thinks Mr. and Mrs. Bowser are the greatest people living. We are proud of the fact that the Hon. Oscar De Priest, who is a member of the city council of Chicago and has a host of friends, is doing much to help the race. He is also engaged in the real estate business and has all he can do. At Chicago we met Dr. James A. Page of Pittsburg, Pu., who is looking fine and says he is enjoying a lucrative practice. Mr. Roscoe Simmons, of Ohio, Mississippi, Washington and New York, had a private room in the Congress Hotel and was one of the managers of the Dupont boom for president. He is a young, scholarly and highly educated newspaper man and is very popular among the rich business men of the United States. He is one of the few colored men who can get the ear of the wealthy people and is doing effective work for the race. While in Chicago we saw a great many of our old Topeka friends, and all seem to be doing nicely. Among them were Mr. Wayman Williams, also Mr. James B. Williams, who is a registered pharmacist and is one of the best in the city. He resides at 4521 Evans and is a man everybody is proud of, as he is an upright Christian gentleman. He is employed in the postal department, for, although he is a registered pharmacist, he likes the clerkship much better, as there is always a demand for him. He is a married man and has a beautiful, intelligent young wife who makes life happy for him. They are saving their money and when old age comes they will have plenty to take care of them. We hope great things for them in the future. We met Mr. A. B. Henry, who is employed with a millionaire family. We also met Richard Gaines and Hatch Etherly, Wallace Scott and Miss Bettis Adams, who has a first class rooming house at 3340 Wabush avenue and is doing nicely. She was one of the best cateresses in Topeka and had all she could do while here. She is very popular and has many friends. We met Mr. and Mrs. S. McCarroll and took breakfast with them. Mr. McCarroll has a position with the Wels-Fargo Express company and Mrs. McCarroll is engaged in china painting and is receiving a good salary at one of the largest concerns in the city. Her work is beautiful and she is sought after by all people who want instruction. She is the head burnisher in this department. --- At Chicago we saw the great preparedness parade on June 3, and must say it was one of the greatest parades ever seen in the city. There were over a million people in the parade and everything moved along in apple pie order. They marched in platoons of fifteen and twenty people each. They began parading at 9:30 in the morning and were marching until 10 at night. Representatives of business houses marched in the morning, men connected with the fire department and mechanical trades in the afternoon, and the military department at night. The greatest feature about the parade were the Illinois naval cadets, and this was where color cut no figure for in the company were colored people interperped with the whites, wearing uniforms and carrying guns and marching with as much dignity as anyone else. This was certainly an object lesson to us and proved that there are some white people who try to be fair to colored people. These men were neatly dressed and had as much military bearing as anyone in the parade. Illinois pays for this school and colored men are attending it notwithstanding the great amount of prejudice. The next parade that drew our attention was that of the suffragettes. There were over five thousand women in line and the day was as bad as we have seen, as it rained in sheets, yet these women marched in the parade with their flags, cheering for their rights. There were colored women who were members of white organizations, and colored women to themselves. Any man who witnessed this parade could not be against woman suffrage and we are agreed that women are entitled to the right to vote, as they are the only ones to depend upon to make this country better. At the convention at Chicago we were very proud of young Robert Church, one of the foremost business men of Memphis, Tenn. The race is very proud of Mr. Church, as he is a young business man and was a delegate-at-large from Tennessee and stood up for his rights. They tried to make him an alternate and put some cheap white skate in as delegate, but he would not stand for it. Young Church stopped at the Palmer House, one of the big hotels of Chicago. We expect great things of him in the future. (Continued on page 4.) Progress of the Race in Our Sister State. L. When men are to be placed at the heads of our different organizations their fitness and general standing should be taken into consideration. Also, the policy of allowing "the office to seek the man" is not a bad one. When the local K. of P.'s of Okmulgee decided to ask that sterling citizen, Hon. J. B. Key, to stand for Grand Master of Exchequer of the organization of the state of Oklahoma they made no mistake, and his favorable decision to "run" for that office was hailed with delight by a large majority of the members of the state. So many of our race are always ready to inject sympathy into everything we do, regardless of the ability of the person we desire to help. The Negro race—in fact, America—has very few men who are able to boast of the showing made by Okmulgee's candidate, Mr. Key. Beginning life penniless, as well as friendless, by strict business methods, economical living and ever keeping in view the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," he has amassed a fortune, and above all his earthly possessions he has made a name as a man that will live and will give hope to the boys if the race. He is uncompromisingly against wrong and is a living evidence of what pure living stands for, as he lives a pure life and God has blessed him. Mr. Key is capable of discharging the duties of any office that the people may thrust upon him, and in placing the mantle of Grand Master of Exchequer of NORBORNE, MO. P. L. Pratt, Grand Lecturer of Masons; A. A. Sanford, Bennie Moore and William Alexander of Carrollton, Mo., were up for a short visit Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Frank Walker underwent an operation for the removal of a growth from one of her eyes which has been giving her considerable trouble of late. The operation was successful and the eye seems to be improving rapidly. Misses Sophronia Marshall and Beatrice Byron visited in Carrollton recently. Mr. Richard Constant does not improve very rapidly. The operation was more serious than was at first expected. Earl A. Howe, teacher of Douglass school, and Maude F. Baker of Plattsburg, who taught the colored school at Hardin, were married in Kansas City May 31. The newlyweds have the best wishes of the community on their matrimonial journey. Wm. Martin' Jr., has returned from Atchison, Kan., where he has been employed as porter in a barber shop. He reports that he was well satisfied, but his mother could not stand for him to be away from home. Mrs. B. C. Crittenden of Hardin was here a few days to care for her grandchildren, while her daughter-in-law was recovering from the operation which she had performed. Mr. B. C. Crittenden was down from Hardin Saturday night, returning home Sunday morning. Children's day exercises at the A. M. E. church were attended by a large and appreciative audience and a neat sum was realized. Rev. Siler is planning for the first anniversary of the new church building, which will take place in July. The board of education re-elected Earl A. Howe as teacher of Douglas school, as he has given perfect satisfaction to that body as teacher for the last three years. "Clarence McCorkle, who has been working on a railroad extra gang, had the misfortune to sustain a badly sprained knee, which has confined him to his room since his return home on June 6. Alex Peeler, who has been working on the railroad, came in Saturday to be with his family, returning to his work Sunday evening. In rains so often that our "champion fisherman," George Jacobs, doesn't go as often as formerly. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Thompson, who were recently married, will make their home in the best town on the map. Mrs. Josie Johnson of Brookeld, Mo., is here attending her sister, Mrs. Frank Walker. The closing exercises of Douglas school were held May 22. The first part of the program was given to a few of the school children, while the most important part was contributed by some of the students of Western University. The address by Prof. Williams was exceedingly THE FIRE DEPARTMENT The Plaindealer is pleased indeed to give to its readers the above cut, representing eight of the best brick buildings in Okmulgee, Okla. The building with Gothic posts is the one in which Mr. Key conducts his general merchandise store. The other seven buildings are rented by white people. Standing between the Gothic posts, in the front door, is Mr. J. B. Key. These magnificent buildings represent more than $125,000 and are located in the principal part of Okmulgee. Oklahoma upon his shoulders no mistake will be made. An individual whose life has been a failure and who is not able to successfully manage his own affairs, should not be trusted with the affairs of other people or organizations of the race. In this man we have an ideal citizen, one who measures up to every thing that goes to make a real man, hence we find pleasure in saying a word about this distinguished American. In the heart of Okmulgee, in the leading street, there are eight magnificent two story brick business houses, worth more than $125,000, owned by this man, all occupied by whites with the exception of the building in which he conducts a general merchandise store, carrying a large stock representing several thousand dollars, and which is patronized by both races. His home is an ideal one—in fact, one of the best owned by the race. The Key addition to the city of Okmulgee contains about twenty modern cottages, the occupants being white. We do not refer to Mr. Key's success for any other purpose than to let the membership throughout the state know the kind of a man who will, after the session that convenes at Okmulgee, be the Pythian standard bearer in the "land of promise." As the delegates will be entertained by the city of Okmulgee, they will be able to see that all we say about Mr. Key is correct and will be convinced that we have not said half we could and still be truthful. The Plaindealer is pleased in The building with Gothic posts is by white people. Standing between $125,000 and are located in the pr thoughtful and was highly appreciated by all. A man, wife and child were stranded in our city a few days ago. When the fact became known it was not long before we raised them enough money to continue them on their homeward journey, after having cared for them over night. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Peeler took them in. YALE, KAN. Mrs. Ella Maples and Mr. Geo. Baker still remain on the sick list. Mrs. Katherine Dewberry made a flying trip to Pittsburgh Tuesday and reported having a nice time. Messrs. Walter Moore, Jno. Harvey and Jno. Walker have been in Pittsburgh a couple of days attending the Chas. Crokett trial, who was injured in mine No. 17 of the Western Coal and Mining Co., a year ago. Mrs. Jesse Carmichael's house was struck by lightning Saturday night. Mrs. Howard and daughter made a trip to Radley Friday and returned Tuesday. They report having had a nice time.

The Negro must get brick business buildings. Then open up creditable enterprises. The whisky-head Negro is not the type who represents the race. Wrong must be condemned regardless of who it is in. The Republican who ignores the announcement column of The Plain-dealer really doesn't appreciate the support of the Negro race. Negroes cannot get homes that are too nice. If you are compelled to rent, cut out living in "shacks." If the colored man spends all he gets in having a good time, he will certainly meet inconveniences a little later in life. Manifesting some interest in business matters is also essential to race building. The rent habit is one that our people must allow to fasten itself too tightly upon them. A homeless people are almost a cropless people. Therefore quit renting. Just as soon as you can arrange to buy a home, do so, and make the arrangements at once. This is not a bad doctrine for our ministers to hand out from the pulpit. Dr. H. T. Geeder, one of the popular physicians of Pittsburg, Kan., is not only a race lover that talks about race enterprise, but puts his money behind deserving Negro enterprise: He enjoys a nice A 100-barrel oil well and a large on his land. Drilling is going on at Key. kind of man we are asking the Knights of Pythias of Oklahoma to elect. The success of this good man is due largely to the co-operation of his excellent wife, who has stood by him through thick and thin, and to her Mr. Key gives all the credit.

This is Mr. J. B. Key. These magnific practice, and helps the scribe both with his influence and money. practice, and helps the scribe both us have "Hughes and prosperity." with his influence and money. Among the new readers of The Plaindealer, who subscribed through the scribe while in Pittsburg, Kan., is that dashing widow, Mrs. Elza Goodwin. She said she wanted the paper to live, and decided that the best thing that would keep it going was money. Amen! Mr. A. H. Thomas, the practical shoemaker at Columbus, Kan., is enjoying a nice trade, his patron being among both races; in fact the best white people in that town encourage him. This man has followed his trade for 43 years and is a recognized workman. The scribe visited this man's place of business There is a Plaindealer friend at Pittsburg in the person of Mr. O. S. Stewart, who always meets your scribe with a smile and some money. This man has been a miner for years and is one of the best in the race. Cut out technical titles, fault-finding, etc., and help the colored business man to remedy the defects in his business. Too, let us use whatever influence we have in inducing members of the race to embark in some kind of business enterprise. Commercialism and religion should go hand-in-hand, so far as the colored man is concerned. We recently read where Supreme Court, touching the Galena separate school case, declared that "separate schools are unconstitutional." Amen! We trust that at any old time when one is being "put over" on us, enough back-bone will be manifested by our folks to put up a fight. No race of cowards will ever receive very much consideration. Flag day was observed June 14, and Old Glory fluttered to the breeze from many buildings. Teaching patriotism is all right, and we guess the colored man must --- look upon the stars and stripes, and love the flag, too; but sometimes, when we take into consideration the hardships that a part of the citizens of this country heap upon the colored brother, and our government, by its silence, seems to approve the actions of lynchers, etc., we think it right to hate the flag instead of loving it. We want the same protection that flag accords others, and anything less than that will make us question our patriotism toward the flag. See? Quite a few Southern colored educators are attending the summer schools in Kansas, enjoying the excellent educational advantages the Sunflower state affords. We can not blame them, as there is an entirely different atmosphere up in these parts that is foreign to the colored man in Dixie land; then, too, they are enabled to be under America's foremost white educators men and women of culture—who are only too glad to impart what they know to all men and women, regardless of race or previous condition. Who wouldn't live in dear old Kansas? * * The nomination of Hon. Charles Evans Hughes as the Republican candidate for president of the United States meets the approval of the colored wing of the Republican party, and he will receive an almost solid colored vote. The Negro's fidelity to the Republican party can not be questioned and he will now roll up his sleeves and do his part, even though he is not given the crumbs which fall from the table. The g. o. p.'s nominee is not only one of America's brainy men, but one whose heart is as big as all outdoors—a man in whom the colored man will find a friend. Let brick buildings in Okmulgee, Okla. The other seven buildings are rented. Recent buildings represent more than us have "Hughes and prosperity." Mr. A. H. Thomas, the practical shoemaker at Columbus, Kan., is enjoying a nice trade, his patrons being among both races; in fact the best white people in that town encourage him. This man has followed his trade for 43 years and is a recognized workman. The scribe visited this man's place of business and found him an interesting fellow. Mr. Thomas has the distinction of being the only colored man in business in the town of Columbus, having opened a business eight years ago. He is staying in business because he is delivering the goods. --- Prof. and Mrs. Wm. Lane, eminent educators of Oklahoma—Prof. Lane being a teacher in the Tulsa high school and his accomplished wife a member of the faculty of the Sand Spring school—are spending the summer at Pittsburg, Kan., where they are attending the Stata Normal. These excellent people are domiciled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Bolden, 405 West Forrest street. In Prof. and Mrs. Lane we have people who are history makers. Prof. Hughes and his accomplished wife, of the Tulsa schools, are also summering in Pittsburg. The scribe recently met a supposedly staunch white Republican who said he didn't think it necessary to announce in The Plain-dealer, because the "colored folks were for him." This class of Republicans should not be encouraged by our people. A fellow who is so narrow, so cheap, that he ignores the announcement columns of the of- ficial organ of the colored wing of the Republican party should be very much left alone by our people. The time has come when the colored man must learn to "praise the bridge that carries him over safely." --- The notes we will attempt to write from now on will be full of pepper, and when we write up some fellow of our race who is doing something he is expected to do more than stand and grin, and say "God bless you!" Go down in your "jeans" and cough up a few dimes, as they are the motive power that keeps a paper like The Plaindealer going. VINITA, OKLA.

Db. Stent fe caster: and! SERVICE o's 0. FO Ee: eee eS ee Drawback to the Race. Our visit to the national conven- tlon at Chicago has convinced us that the colored people have got to wake up along political lines. It $s tad to say that after fifty years of freedom and the right to exercise the ballot, the colored people of America are going backward to such an alarm. Ing extent that their voice ia not even heard in a national Republican con- vention, So fat as the party is concerned, it has accorded the col- cored man all the rights and privi- Jeges in that party—to be a delegate ‘and have a voice, the same rights that are given any other member of the party. It is the fault of the col- ored man in both the North and the South for this alarming retrogres- alon In the Republican party. While he has always been counted upon to vote the Republican ticket, he has not kept pace nor studied the politi. ¢al problems that confront the party and the American people. He has almost eliminated himself by his non- activity in studying out and looking ahead and providing for such meth- ods that might confront kim at these gatherings, They have been walting until the last minute, then rushing to the conventions with nothing to back their cause but a lot of wind and nolse. It is time that the colored men of the South were arousing to a rense of duty by tak- ing hold of the political situation where they have great numbers and are the bulwark of the party, eee We are now through bragging about the intellectual and intelligent brave fighting colored Republicans of the South. They have now lowered themselves in the scale of dignity and pride and a large majority of them are now wandering in the wil- derness secking what Is In sight only and looking for a few political jobs. The class of colored men who repre- sent the Republican party and at- tend the conventions now are a dis- grace to the men of thirty years ago, such as Small, Lynch, Cumming, Pinchback, Bruce and scores of oth- ers who were respected and stood high In the councils of the Republi- can party and whose advice was sovght as often as that of any white delegate. They were called upon to second the nomination of the presl- dent, served on nomination and no- Ufication committees, and in fact were men who commanded respect, not only from their race, but from the white race as well. They held high positions in both this and for. eign countries. eee It $s a burning shame end disgrace to think of South Carolina, with elev-. en votes, seven of whom were color- ed, could not agree upon a colored man as natonal committeeman at a period when the colored man is actu- ally needed in that place, The dele- gates were educated men—lawyers, doctors and business men—and yet when asked why they did not select: a colored man as committeeman,| they gave it out pointblank that a white man could do more for them than a colored man, and that they, could not trust a colored man in that) position, Yet a white man on the delegation nominated Major J. H, Fordham, a prominent lawyer of Or- angeburg, S, C., for national com- mitteman. Mr, Fordham js a highly educated man, 5 staunch Republican and one of the strongest colored men of South Carolina and a leader of the race, The motion was seconded by Prof, James A, Briar of Green- ville, Only three votes were given Mr, Fordham—those of Mr, Coch- ran, the man who nominated bim;| Nr, Briar, and his own vote, Joseph W,. Tolbert of Greenwood, a white man, who was elected, has served on the committee for years, and when he has not served some other meme, Foe ee orcs tau tor the: Laatt of colored lives sacrificed for the Interests of the Republican party In order that future generations might enJoy the rights and benefits they died for, Although these men were for the most part uneducated, they were honest and brave and believed in doing things, not only for the ‘betterment of the white man, but for thelr own race as well, Now ‘come such men as Dr. J. If, Good- win of Columbia, S. C.; Gibbs Mitchell of Charleston, W. S| Dix- ‘son of Barnwell, Dr. J, Levey of Florence and L. A. Hawkins of Columbia. These five colored men and J, Duncan Adams (white) of Charleston voted for Joseph W. Tol- bert for committeeman, Wad these colored men voted for Fordham he would have been the committceman and the entire colored race would have been benefited, and it would have been worth millions of dollars, not only in monty, but in pride, and as an inspiration to the younger generation; but instead theso would- be intelligent colored men sacrificed the rights of the generations to come for selfish ambition. Now, what is to become of the race if men like this will not stand to- gether, For God's sake, let the hard working, honest colored people of South Carolina get together and not be hoodwinked any longer by these howling dervishes, who do nothing more than make a lot of nolee to get to the convention and there stand and wait to be bartered and sold for a mess of pottage. Georgia was equally as bad. Henry Lincoln Johnson, leader of the col- ored race of Georgia, and who re- cently retired as recorder of deeds at Washington, D. C.; and Judeon Lyons, who was once register of the treasury, were in opposition to each other, fizhting hard to put in a ‘white man as national committee- ‘man, Now, these two intelligent |men, who pose as leaders of Geor- ‘gla and have becn accorded ull the iights and privileges the party ‘could give to men, acted hike two old colored men in the datk ages of slavery, vieing with each other to ree who would be the most popular among the white people of Georgia. Of the twelve delegates from Geor- gia, eight were colored men, and with such characters as Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent and a great leader of Odd Fellows ship, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, they should have been able to win anything the colored people desired, But they were on thefr knees with a “Marse Jobn skin back grin” and a “Lord give it to the white man if you can’t glve it to me” altitude. It is a shame and disgrace to have such men, who pretend to be lead- ers, go to an assembly like the con- vention at Chicago and there dis- grace the colored race of this coun- try. We are now through listening to the talk of the greatness of the Southern colored man and the great things he is doing. The only thing the colored men of the South ever learned was when they came North and West and lived among intelli- gent colored people, who possess the courage to carry out any proposi- tion they might choose. The South. ern Negro is a fallure, when it comes to national organizations for the benefit of his race, and all great assemblies. He is there with a loud, roaring voice and a brainless= and thoughtless head. He has succeed- ed in destroying the National Bap- tist convention, almost broke up the A. M. E. General Conference at Philadelphia, and has sold out his race at the National Republican Convention at Chicago, and God alone knows what he will do next, If they are to be the leaders and mold public sentiment for this race of ours, we are now hopelessly lost.

After a selection by the choir ‘we had prayer by Rev. Runyon. By this time the hour was growing late. Rev, Hunt ascended the rostrum and preached from the Goth chapter, 10th verse, of the Prophecy of Isaiah. From this text Rev. Hunt preached a good sermon and brought out some good thughts. He asked the question: “Hoy many men and women have had their! souls saved since the last annual sermon?” le also stated that the| stars on some of our regalia had fuded, but if we would live right we would receive a star and crown that would ehine forever. He fur- thermore stated that the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was one of the best orders to be in; that we had taken In and pald out more money than any other organization elsewhere, He said that the total amount of moncy collected in this jurisdiction was $13,964.28, wmeh) was good; paid out to the sick, $211.20, and for burials $1750, which shows that we do take care of the sick and bury the dend. Grand total collected, $13,964.24; grand total paid out, $10,116.20. After the preaching was ended, cach and everyone obeyed the souna of the gavel by tne D. D. G.

W. LLOYD, GRAND ‘CHANCELLOR MO K, OF P. The Man of the Hour—Vieite the Lodges in Kaneas City, Holding Elections—Royally Entertained by Evening Star Social Club. Kansas City, Mo., June 14, 1916 —(Special to the Topeka Plain dealer)-—Your correspondent, in at interview with Grand Chancellor A W. Lioyd of the K. of P.s, who is here on his usual official visit tc the eleven subordinate lodges ot the Knights of Pythias, found that the conditions asstated by Sir Lloyd, on the whole, are very satisfactory. “The reports of each lodge on this western trip, including Kansaa City, show a marked improvement over any previous reports rendered dur- ing his tenure of office. Grand Chancellor Lloyd made the following statement regarding fra- ternal work and the dangers of the insurance companien to it; “One of the most dangerous foes of our fraternal organization is the sick and accident insurance compa- nies of this country, which have as- sumed a competition that is really alarming in its proportions. They are making dangerous inroads upon our lodges in many localities, caus- ing a number of our best men and Isaacs and Leo Jenkins. women to desert the order and be- come members cf these companies. “It is up to us to meet this com- petition squarely and to increase our endeavors to place our lodges upon euch a strong financial basis that we will be able to pay all sick and death claims promptly and thereby give better returns for the money invested in the order, We must meet this situation as a cold busi. ness proposition that will be as crushing as it will be effective.” Sir Lloyd is lecturing to the lodges upon higher business attain. menta, urging them to apply better ‘business «methods in collecting monthly dues in order that they may avoid the unnecessary criticlem which comes from delays, and to see to it that their best men are placed qn guard. The launching of our lodges in the endowment, or insurance s0- called, has opened up a new and large field and has brought them in- to direct competition with the inaur- ance companies of the business world. All members of our organ- {ration should congratulate them selves upon the healthy assets,which amount to $10,061.69.” Sir Lioyd has not much time for the social side of life, his work be- ing so pressing, but to his delight and surprise the Evening Star So- cial club entertained very pleas- antly for him Sunday afternoon, June 11, The luncheon was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Cary there have been several appointments made that are paying large aularles which run up into thousands of dollars and go into the ‘pockets of the race, Rev. Cary is now pastor of the Institutional church at 3825 Dearborn street. He has made great improvements on this chureh and has increased the membership to 500, and some of the largest meetings held in Chicago are at this church, They have a day nursery and everything in con- nection to be a beenfit to the com- munity in which It Is located. Rev. Cary was pastor of Bethel church gt one time, which is another lead- ing church, and he reduced Its debt from $16,000 to $3,000 in five years and added 100 members to the church, He was also pastor of Quinn Chapel, which church had a large indebtedness and he- reduced it before he retired. He is a great church builder and it was through his influence and good work that these churches in Chicago are keep- Ing their reputation and doling thngs. Rev. Cary is a great admirer of Mr, Thompson and was associated with him as alderman some ein. teen years ago. He says the €iti- zens of Chicago have never had a finer man for mayor than Mr. Thompson and he is proud of him and hopes some day to see him president of the United States, and that he expects to die in the harness; working and fighting for this great disciple of human rights. He {is also proud of Oscar De Priest, one of the best aldermen of the city of Chicago and who stands up for the. upbuilding of that great city, and his advice in the council is always sought for, Rev. Cary takes great pride in saying that he not only as, sisted in nominating Oscar De Priest, but in electing him, The many friends of Rev, Cary say the race will stand behind him and there is no doubt that he will be able to do much more good than he is already doing. He was the first colored man the mayor appointed as censor of moving pictures, and he resigned that position to accept the position of examiner of claims. He was succeeded in the former po- sition by Mr. Alonzo J. Bowling. The Preachers’ Council of Chicago meets every Monday at the Institu- tional church, and it is here that all matters pertaining to the up- building of the race and the ade vantement of the churches of Chl cago ate discussed. eee Mr, Wayman Williams, formerly one of Topeka’s favorite sons and now a popular police officer of Chi- cago, and is wearing star“No, 1405 for district 3.

Monroe, deputy county assessor, returned Wednesday from Chicago, where he went to answer the summons of the death of his brother, Patrick Monroe, who was killed last Saturday at 11:30 p. m. He was porter in one of the leading buffets in the stockyards district. Hold-up men came in and shot the manager, and it is thought that a stray bullet struck Mr. Monroe, causing his death. This place had been held up three times and the parties who were supposed to have done the killing were under a $35,000 bond, and in order to save themselves they had to kill the prosecuting witnesses. Mr. Monroe was 41 years of age and was an industrious young man. He had no family, but leaves a brother and sisters who reside in Kansas. Burial was made in Chicago. STATE FEDERATION NOTES. Kansas State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Holds Grand Session at Parsons High School. Art Work Valued at $8,000—Char- ity Gets $1380.04. The Kansas State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs has just closed its sixteenth annual session, at Parsons, Mrs. J. L. Harper, president. It was a grand, peaceful, interesting, helpful and educational affair. Every delegate returned home with something of interest for her club and community. The attendance was not as large as usual because of the high water. The art work displayed was one of the most interesting things there, the beauty and magnificence of which I am unable to describe. I am sure no one was disappointed in the showing her work made. Prices of pieces on exhibition ranged from 10 cents to $175. This shows us that Kansas women are not standing still, but are keeping up with their motto, "Rowing, Not Drifting." One has only to gaze upon the work to know and feel this feeling of pride and uplift which permeates one's soul. The ladies who kindly consented to act as judges—Mrs. Carter of Chicago, Miss Dora Johnson of Ohio and Mrs. Atkinson (white) of Parsons—found great difficulty in deciding which should have first mention. Topeka and Kansas City were tied on the proposition. The judges were unable to tell which should have first mention, so put both in the "A" class. Work of the Topeka clubs represented $2,207.07; that of the Kansas City clubs, $2,072.10. Atchison came next. A pair of knitted portieres and the hand-painted china from Kansas City were highly commended by the judges. Many pieces of embroidery and crochet work were pronounced perfect. The program was an exceptionally good one. The welcome address by Rev. T. W. Green, Jr., in behalf of the ministers, and Mrs. A. H. Diggs in behalf of the clubs were gems of literary genius. Both were well delivered and one could not but feel the warmness of the welcome stealing into her heart as she heard. The response by Mrs. Jacobs of Kansas City was very good. To say that the delegates were royally entertained is putting it lightly. We can not say how royally we were entertained, but just ask anyone who was there and she will say, "Parsons is all right," and the expression of her face will tell you that she means what she says.

See me for anything along my line. The meals were all one could wish, and more, too. The people of Parsons certainly know how to entertain. Not satisfied with giving us all we could eat, the arranged a very excellent literary and musical program that could not be beaten. Visitors—Visitors at the meeting were Mrs. Boardman, president of Parsons City Federation (white), who spoke to the federation on "Efficiency." Her talk was very well received. Mrs. Carter of Chicago, Ill., was a very pleasing visitor and brought greetings from the Northwestern Federation. Miss Dora Johnson of Ohio gave the federation a rare treat by rendering several of her most excellent readings. Prof. Carter, principal of Topeka In 'ustrial and Educational Institute, spent a few moments with the federation. He gave a very nice tall, and invited the federation to meet with him next time. The federation appreciates his kindness and will meet with him some of these times. Mrs. Atkinson (white) of Parsons was also a pleasant visitor. Her talk was very nice and also very interesting because she gave some advice which was needed. Charity Gets $1,362.53—Charity is one of the things which the federation pays special attention to. This shows that the colored women of Kansas are seeing to it that the poor and needy are being cared for, $1,362.53 having been spent for charity outside of the personal services of individual members. A scholarship fund of $200 has been created for the use of some worthy person in securing an education. Civics-That the women of Kansas are going to make themselves felt as a political factor is shown by their activity just initiated in seeing to it that we as a race get justice. In Parsons, as in many other cities of Kansas, colored people are not permitted to attend the "nickel shows. Now, there is a law written in the statute books of Kansas which says that discrimination shall not be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, chapter 49, section 1, passed April 25, 1874. A committee from the State Federation waited upon the assistant county attorney, Mr. C. J. Taylor, to call his attention to this violation. He was very courteous to the committee and sent a letter to the federation stating that he would look the matter up. The election of officers was carried out without friction, and the following were elected; Mrs. J. L. Harper, president; Mrs. W. W. Shobe, first vice president; Mrs. E. K. Bowers, corresponding secretary; Miss Bessie Bell, recording secretary; Mrs. Carrie Davis, treasurer. The federation adjourned to meet at Hutchinson next June. LOUISE M.
