If he was drafted today he would be at the mercy of the enemy, as he has had no opportunity to drill or to do anything that would make him a capable or efficient soldier in time of war. We think it is time that the American white man who wants to be fair and who boasts of Christianity and superiority to practice some of these virtues and give his colored brother an equal showing with other nationalities who immigrate to this country. All the colored man wants is an equal enforcement of the laws on all alike. If this was done the colored man could defend himself and protect his rights in the Southland and have what is due him, or defend himself with his brain and brawn; but the laws as applied in those states are always against him, whether he be wrong or right; therefore he has been loath to stand up and protect his rights as an American citizen. We think that President Wilson has made a great mistake in forcing this war upon the poor Mexicans and that it is all uncalled for. The peons of Mexico are in the same position as the colored man was before the war, as they are practically enslaved by the wealthy class of Spaniards and American white men who have gone there and usurped all the land and are forcing those people to work for a mere pittance and to do that which the slaves were forced to do in the United States. This war is being waged for wealth, superiority and ownership. The wealthy Spaniards and Americans have clashed over the mineral and agricultural resources of Mexico and Wilson has been made a catspaw. Millions of dollars and thousands of lives must be sacrificed now, but we hope that through this the poor working people of Mexico will be benefited, yet it was a mistake to send a regiment of soldiers into the interior of Mexico chasing one lone bandit-Villa—and demanding that the president of Mexico salute the flag in his own country. These things are obnoxious to the people of this country, especially those who believe in the teachings of the Bible and follow in the footsteps of Christ. We do not believe in war—brothers shooting brothers—and it could have been averted had not the Democratic party wanted to make capital, hold offices and re-elect their president. Following are the names of some of the soldiers who were made prisoners in the penitentiary at Chihuahua, but who were escorted to the border Thursday under an armed guard. No authentic list of those who lost their lives has yet been announced: Troop K. Felix Page, sergeant, Balliston, Va. C. S. Floyd, private. (No war department record.

In Mexico the Colored Boys Are Chucked in Front of Enemy Bullets That Some White Might Gain the Honor and Obtain Promotion! We note with regret that two troops of the Tenth cavalry were ambushed and nearly wiped out of existence when they were run against the Mexicans and machine guns. Several were killed and others taken prisoners. We are informed through the press dispatches that the affair may have been caused by a mistake on the part of the commanding officer of the American troops, who wanted to gain notoriety and led these brave boys to a fatal disaster, when it could have been prevented. The white Americans know that no braver men ever faced an enemy on the battlefield than the colored soldiers and for this reason they are made catspaws by over-zealous commanding officers who want to gain a name for promotion, notwithstanding the fact that these same colored boys would not be promoted by this government on account of their color, and their loyalty, bravery and faithfulness to the flag is not considered. Yest brave Boys of the Tenth cavalry you are the first to sacrifice the blood of your race upon Mexican soil for the protection of the American white people and the American flag, but you are not the first colored soldiers to sacrifice your life and blood for this country. The race's blood has been offered upon the fields of battle since wars first began in this country, notwithstanding your white American brother has deprived you of all the rights and honors you have earned. By race prejudice you are barred from holding positions and occupations in machine shops or as conductors, firemen and brakemen on raliroads, as clerks in offices and stores, or any place where good wages are paid and brain and ability are recognized, and the very men you are facing as an enemy have more rights and privileges under the flag for which you are fighting than you have. While you are fighting to protect the American flag and the white men from the outrages of the Mexicans, the American white man is now in the Southland sending threatening notices to colored men who are brakemen on freight trains on two or three remote roads in the South where there are only colored people. These men are being forced to work under threats of lynching and burning and some have already lost their lives. But still you must at the same time fight for the flag. There is a class of American white people who are very unfair. If a war should start, they would expect to make volunteers of the colored, men and expect them to go to the front and be slaughtered by the enemy, as they have had no military training, yet every state in the Union has from two to four regiments of white soldiers who are being trained. The colored people have begged and prayed and done everything honorable to have the different states inaugurate colored regiments with colored officers up to colonels if possible, as the colored man has proved himself on the battlefield as capable of managing soldiers as well as to fight. Yet out of forty-eight states in the Union there is only one colored volunteer repiment, and that is in the state of Illinois, and, we believe, one or two battallions in Ohio and Washington, D. C. This is a shame and disgrace that out of 12,000,000 colored people they can only boast of this number of volunteer soldiers who are prepared to defend the flag. What encouragement has this go Troop K. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 30, 1916 PRINCIPAL H. D. WALLACE FOR CO. SUPERINTENDENT It gives us pleasure to announce that Prof. Dave Wallace, principal of the Lyman school and for many years past one of Shawnee county's most progressive teachers, is in the race and fighting hard to be your county superintendent of Shawnee county schools. Mr. Wallace is well known to practically every teacher and educator in Topeka and Shawnee county and to most of the boys and girls of the county schools, as he had conducted examinations, served ```markdown ``` on the board of examiners, has been a leader in county athletic work for many years and made a great many friends by his ability, honesty and integrity. Mr. Wallace is a young man well qualified for the position to which he aspires, with ten years' experience as a teacher. For the last four years he has been principal of the Lyman school and has been chosen for the fifth year. As to his record as a teacher, ask the people among whom he has worked, or any teacher who has taught in Shawnee county the last five years. He is asking for his first public office, will appreciate your vote and a kind word passed along. If he can meet you during the campaign he will; if not, just remember he is a candidate.

In addition, Lemuel Spillsbury, the Mormon scout employed by Captain Boyd, also was reported as a prisoner, making a total of eighteen Americans held at Chihuahua City.

Elisha Scott represented more than 5000 coloerd people at the Hughes ratification meeting at the auditorium Saturday night, June 24. The speakers were: Hon. Arthur Capper, governor; Hon. Elisha Scott, Hon. R. R. Brewster of Kansas City, Mo., and ex-Governor W. R. Stubbs. A large crowd was in attendance. In introducing Mr. Scott, Gov. Capper said: "I take pleasure in introducing Hon. Elisha Scott, the greatest Negro orator in the state of Kansas." Mr. Scott is a regular practicing attorney and a graduate of Washburn college. He spoke of the colored people's endorsement of the nomination of Justice Hughes and pointed out defects in the Democratic administration, especially referring to the segregation of colored employees in the White House at Washington and the sending of the fighting Tenth cavalry directly into the interior of Mexico without proper support. He closed his speech by making a logical and forceful plea for the opening up of opportunities Mr. HON, CORNELIUS J, JONES, STRONG RACE DEFENDER for colored people and condemning segregation and ostracism. He referred to the colored people's loyalty to the flag, how they had fought and protected it, yet the same flag could not protect them in various states of the Union. Dolley Congratulates Scott. Mr. Elisha Scott, 1154 Lane Street, Toneka, Kansas: My Dear Mr. Scott:—I wish to congratulate you upon your splendid effort and the fine speech you made at the auditorium during the Republican rally last Saturday evening. It was one of the ablest and strongest colored men's ten minute speeches I have ever heard from any platform. I wish to again congratulate your personally as well as your race of people, for the splendid and able way in which you represented them. Thanking you in behalf of the committee for your valuable services at this meeting, I am, very truly yours, J. N. DOLLEY. Baptist State Sunday School Convention! The Baptist state Sunday school convention met in annual session at Winfield, Kan., last week and it was one of the best sessions ever held. Delegates were present in full force from all over the state and the auxiliaries were represented by some of the best brain. It is certainly a source of pleasure to visit a state meeting composed of young people, as everything moves along with so much harmony and without wrangling and it makes us believe HON. CORNELIUS J. JONES, there is much hope in the younger generation. All the noise that occurs in meetings of that kind is made by the old aces who were here Y. P. U.'s showed everything in the different Sunday schools and B Y. P. Us. showed everything in a healthy and growing condition, a great increase in membership and finance. Much credit is due the Second Baptist church, its pastor and members, and the citizens of Winfield for the way in which they entertained the convention and visitors. Hon. H. I. Monroe was reelected president by a unanimous vote. Mrs. J. I. Harper was reelected corresponding secretary. Florence Hughes of Kansas City was elected recording secretary and Prof. E. A. Clark of Parsons treasurer. They adjourned to meet next at Independence, Kan., in 1917. Several fine papers were read. Rev. S. B. Butler of Wichita addressed the convention. He Price $1.50 Per Year. Fighting the Battles of the Negro Claimants! Fighting the Battles of the Negro Claimants! Greatest Legal Battle of the Age-Cornelius J. Jones Contending for Rights of Civil War Cotton Tax Claimants! While the editor has known Mr. Jones for many years, we believe it is timely to inform our readers generally of the size man this is who is handling this important suit. Investigation discloses the facts that Mr. Jones served his race as a member of the House of Representatives of the state legislature of Mississippi for one term during the STRONG RACE DEFENDER. The Plaindealer is delighted to learn that Hon. Cornelius J. Jones, chief counsel for the civil war revenue cotton tax claimants, with headquarters at Memphis, Tenn., has consented to visit Topeka in the near future to discuss the principles involved in the suit now pending in the Court of Appeals at Washington, District of Columbia, wherein the persons who labored in the production of cotton in the South, from which $68,000,000 were collected under the enforcement of the act of Congress passed in 1862, and operated until 1868, under claim of an emergency revenue measure, and which labor was performed under the system of involuntary servitude, and without compensation, are proceeding to secure judgment lien on tibs $68,000,000. had just returned from Memphis, where he attended the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress! He reported it as being one of the best sessions ever held and that there were about one thousand delegates present. D. W. Cannon was elected president. Rev. Jernigan vice president and Rev. Butler treasurer. He with a committee of two others visited the headquarters at Nashville and had financial matters straightened out so that there will be no difficulty hereafter as to the conducting of matters. MASONS ENTERTAIN The Masons of Topeka enjoyed a love feast last Saturday night at the hall, where they were the guests of Mt. Moriah No. 5. Past Master Peek presided and Dr.J. G. Soanes of Kansas City, Kan., custodian of the W. & O. fund, was the speaker of the evening. His lecture was along the lines of true manhood and early '90s. He was the first and only Negro on the floor of that body who dared to cross swords with the present Senator Vardaman from Mississippi, who was also a member of the House at that time, when the question was up for passing the constitutional convention bill, which afterwards did pass, and by which the Negroes of that state were disfranchised. Mr. Jones went down on record with voice ringing loud and clear, hurling a bitter protest. Mr. Jones has been engaged in the active practice of law for more than twenty-eight years. He was the first Negro lawyer in this country to make an oral argument before the Supreme Court of the United States in the year of 1895, in the case of John Gibson vs. Mississippi, wherein the right to have members of his race on a jury which tries a Negro for a criminal offense was presented before the United States Supreme Court for adjudication. He also carried up to that court the case of Henry Williams vs. Mississippi, wherein the question was presented asking a judicial determination of the right of the state to enact any laws abridging the suffrage of its citizens who were qualified for suffrage under the terms of the ennabling act of Congress admitting the Southern states to representation in Congress after the close of the civil war. Mr. Jones was nominated for Congress by the Republican party of the Third district of Mississippi in 1896, the year the late President McKinley was first nominated. The candidate for Congress was counted out, and he made a contest before the committee of privileges and elections of the House of Representatives. He was renominated by the Republican party of the same district of the state in 1893, was counted out, and made his contest before the committee of privileges and elections again. Mr. Jones is one of the civil war revenue cotton tax claimants himself, and the claimants feel congratulated highly to have the services of this able and distinguished jurist, being one of their race, and one of their number as claimants. Mr. Jones has just completed a tour through the states of Kansas and Missouri, and the claimants, wherever he appears, show the greatest amount of interest and devotion, all of which are well deserved. The tour was wound up last Sunday night, June 25, at St. Louis, Mo., when Mr. Jones spoke at Pleasant Green Baptist church under the courtesy and special invitation of Rev. J. K. Parker, where the capacity of the building was taxed and scores were turned away because of the lack of accommodation. We are expecting Mr. Jones to make a date for this community soon, and general notice will be given, and we assure the distinguished counsel that no community shall do more to show its appreciation of his laudable efforts than this community. It is prosposed by friends here among the claimants that Mr. Jones speake at Kansas City, Kan., and also Kansas City, Mo., before he heads south again. true Masonry and the great good that could be accomplished by living upright and adhering to the laws and principles of this great institution. Dr. Soanes is a highly educated and accomplished young man and is a physician of great reputation, and as custodian of the W. & O. fund has no equal, as he accounts for every penny. He is admired by the fraternity and jurisdiction. There were several other short talks, and music was furnished by Miss Ogeal Wilson's orchestra, which was appreciated by every one. A banquet was served to over two hundred. All sat down to a fine lunch of ice cream, sandwiches, tea and coffee, and Mt. Moriah has set a pace for all others to follow.

He has eleven children by his On our road to Chicago we stopped at Carrollton, Mo., and found the colorod people all doing well and much better off since the closing of the saloons. Carrollton county is partially Republican. We met Probate Judge Crawford, who is serving his first term. He is a gentleman anyone would be glad to meet and is filling this position with honor and credit to himself and the Republicans in general. Both parties admire and respect him. He is a member of the school board, and is a native of Carrollton county. He is thirty years of age and was born and reared on a farm. He is a staunch Republican, an upright Christian gentleman, and believes in human rights. His friends predict great things for him, and we would not be surprised to hear of him being governor or attnney general of Missouri. His deputy, Mr. R. M. Lee, is a gentleman who stands high in the community, has a host of friends and is always on the job. We expect great things for him, as he can have almost anything he might ask for at the hands of the people. We met our friend Albert Thompson, who conducts a first class barber shop and is doing fine. Mrs. Leoti Fields one of the popular teachers, is doing fine. She and her husband are among the most popular people of Carrollton. Miss Elsie Stewart, formerly one of the most popular teachers of Carrollton, has just recently married and has joined her husband at Iola, Kan. She was a successful teacher for seven years and has a host of friends. Rev. L. W. Harris, pastor of the Virginia Street Baptist church and also a moderator of the Baptist association, is doing much for the race. He is an active young man full of life and push, and is a minister who deserves a salary of $1500 per year. He is a fine pulpit orator and makes friends with all whom he meets. The district over which he presides is one of the largest in the state. We are proud to say that L. M. Martin has a fine grocery and cafe at 502 Lincoln. He is an industrious young man and is associated with his father in business. Our old friend, Arthur Sanford, the brick contractor, has a wife and two boys whose company he enjoys. We also met Rev. Burton Miller, who is an old soldier 72 years of age and is now enjoying the company of his second wife. He is one of Carrollton's upright citizens and it is a source of pleasure to hear him relate reminiscences of the early days and his meeting with Frank and Jesse James, the Ford brothers and the Younger gang. He is as active as a man of forty. At Evanston, Ill., there can be found a nest of South Carolina people, mostly from Abbyville, where we were born. We met our old friend W. W. Fisher and family, formerly of Abbyville, but later of Topeka and Kansas City. He owns a fine flat which cost $5000 and is located in the residence portion of the city. The family is doing well. Mr. Fisher is respected by both races and is a great political man, and we look forward to the time when he will be engaged in some office. He is now engaged in the real estate business. The colored people in general are doing well in Evanston, and own good homes. Mr. Willis Akers, formerly of Greenville, S. C., is a contractor and builder and is doing a fine business. He has a wife and nine children, has lived in Evanston several years and is highly respected by everybody. His sons are engaged in the work with him. We were the guest of our uncle, Rev. Wm. Chiles, ard family, who are among the highly respected citizens of Evanston, and this is where we met a host of relatives that even John could not number. Mrs. Chiles, our aunt, is engaged in church work and is superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school. She is devoting much of her time to the upbuilding of the race along Christian lines. Our uncle is employed by the city and is also pastor of a small church out of Evans- --- EVANSTON, ILL. ton. He has eleven children by his first and second marriages. A fine dinner was served in our honor and the pastor of the Baptist church and his wife and Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Fisher were also guests. We were also invited to dinner at the home of our cousin, Mrs. Albert Carter, and an enjoyable time was had until 2 o'clock in the morning. This was the first time we ever had the pleasure of meeting our cousin, and must say she and her husband are among the most popular families in Evanston. Mr. Carter was born in Georgia, near Augusta. They have five bright children and own a beautiful home. Mr. Carter is vice president of the labor union, which position he has held for years, as he is a contractor and builder, and he is consulted on all matters. Mr. Joe Hereford, past grand chief mentor of Missouri and also a manufacturer of lodge regalia, one of the best versed men in Masonry from the first to the thirty-first degree in the United States, and who has been a member of the Masonic lodge for the past quarter of a century and of the fraternity for 28 years, is a fine parliamentarian, a scholar, and a gentleman who makes friends with all whom he meets. He has been principal of one school in Kansas City for a number of Baughman Writes of Kansans! The accompanying cut is that of one of our accomplished young women, who is making good in the school room, having been a teacher for three years. She is a graduate of Favor High school of Guthrie, Ok., of which that scholarly man, Prof. Messrs. Langford and Langford, father and son, are conducting the only place owned by the race at Girard, Kans. The place is "The Girard Pantatorium," a first class place where the best tailoring work is done. Mr. II. B. Langford is one of the race's leading men at that place, owning two modern places, worth several thousand dollars, and in addition to this he also [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. MR. JOE HEREFORD. V. V. MISS ETHEL DAVENPORT. While we were in the city we addressed the members of the A. M. E. church. The pastor of this church is a very excellent gentleman and they have a fine church building, a large congregation, a pipe organ and a splendid choir. We also addressed the Baptist Sunday school, of which Mrs. Wm. Chiles is superintendent. They are holding services at the Y. M. C. A. building. Much commendation is due the superintendent for the large Sunday school, which is said to be one of the best in the state. We also met our friend, Mr. G, H. Hudson, at Evanston. He is an intelligent, industrious young man, a graduate of the high school at Atchison and of the high school of that county. He is a son of the late Dr. W. H. Hudson, who was one of the leading physicians of his day. Mr. Hudson is one of the employees in the postoffice at Williamette, a few miles north of Evanston, and he was the first colored man to be put on the pay roll of the government at that place and stood second in the examination of 105. He has made good and is respected by everybody, not only for the position he holds, but as an upright, Christian gentleman and one who stands for good society and good government. He is a staunch Republican and a great race man, and understands the needs of his people. years. His methods are modern and up to date, and patrons of the school show their appreciation of him, not only in the school room but in the daily walks of life. The time has come when the race should look forward for men of this class as leaders and should get behind them and push them to the front. This man has had experience and has proven his worth, and we would like to see Missouri and all the West push Mr. Hereford for anything he may wish; Geo. W. Carry, is principal. Miss Davenport is at present acceptably teaching the Inconium, Okla., school. She is attending the Summer Normal school at Langston. Her parent reside at 1717 Van Buren St., in the city of Topeka, Kansas. owns eleven lots, located in the best part of the city. He holds the position as janitor at the post office and city library, and his son, an excellent young man, manages the tailoring business, and he also owns a good home. The Langford family are among our representative people, and have the confidence and respect of all who know them. Such people make a strong race.

We find pleasures when we are able to, give our readers the likeness of such people. Efficiency shoild be the colored man's motto along all lines—whatever you decide to do, master it and do the job as well or better than anyone else. A strong citizenship can not be built up out of a bunch of "good time" Negroes. Think a little and the act some! See? The Negro race, in every conceivable manner, must encourage a strong womanhood, as no race can make much of a showing without pure and intelligent womanhood. The individual who can see only the bad in the Negro race is a very narrow fellow. We believe in condemning the bad, but, begolly, we also think the good should have a bit of praise.

He was appointed by Gov. Stubbs and after serving a few months was elected to hia first term by a ma- Jority of 1700 votes, It is customary when a judge has made good to elect him to a second term. Judge ‘Sargent has as good a record for having cases affirmefl in the Su- Preme Court as any judge in the state. He has tried some of the most important cases ever tried in the county, among which was the action brought to enjoin the con- demnation of land for the track ele- vation and union station, In which he refused to enjoint the building of those improvements, Has tried all the cases that have been brought growing out of the building of the union depot and track elevation. He tried the “jitney” case, which was one of the ploneer cases of that kind in the country, and his decis- jon was affirmed by the Supreme Court, He gave up his practice as a law- yer to take up the work on the bench, His work has Seen very satisfac- tory to the lawyers, 90 per cent of whom want him renominated. Probably the highest qualification required of a judge is that of being absolutely fair and giving both par- ties a fair trial. In every trial one of the parties must lose, but whether the parties win or lose, they all agree that Judge Sargent gives them a fair trial, and the attorneys in speaking of his work on the bench especially comment upon his fairness as a judge. Experience in every profession is invaluable and this is particularly rue with a judge on a district court bench, People want in the ffice of judge a man of experience and mature years, whose judgment has been tried and found good, | ludge Sargent’s experience of five years on the bench has made him specially valuable as an official. | No matter how much practice a Jaw- yer may have had before he goes on he bench, he must gain experience is a judge solely by the actual work n the bench, Judge Sargent has tried or dis- osed of over 3600 cases since he as been on the bemh.

The speakers representing the various departments and trades were well trained and gave out splendid advice in their various lines, which could be easily applied in a practical way to our every day life. The class numbering fifty-eight members, one of the largest classes to graduate from the school, was addressed by Governor Arthur Capper, who was introduced by President H. T. Kealing. The Governor said in part: "The discrimination that will be encountered by these graduates because of their color is one of the greatest crimes of civilization, and as long as I live I will use all the power I possess to fight this great evil. "There are no better citizens in the state, white or black, than the fathers and mothers of these graduates. By keeping their children in this great school they have made it possible for them to become independent. self-respecting young men and women. The university has a great future before it. True brotherhood of all men and equal opportunity for all alike, equal opportunity for the children of all the people to prepare themselves for life, to be of real service in the world, to make a fair living, will some day come to pass. I hope to see the time when no child, because of color, is denied a fair share of the good things of life." Governor Cupper mentioned the fact that it was his first visit to Western University and State Industrial Department at Quindaro, and after going through all the departments he was indeed pleased with the excellent working condition of the school and expressed complete surprise at the completeness of the entire plant. Taking into consideration all phases of school work, this year closes one of the most successful years in the history of the school. Prof. Kealing feels jubilant over the progress of the school and with renewed determination he will go to the next legislature and ask for a larger appropriation to carry on the work. During the summer months field agents will be sent out through the entire wetscrn section in an effort to secure large numbers of students for the next school year.

Sullivan, a lawyer of high reputation and a native of Wichita, is a candidate for judge of the city court, subject to the Republican primaries. He has resided in that city forty-three years and has worked his way through hardships and trials and has gained the respect and admiration of the people of that town. He read law in the firm of Amidon & Congdon and has been practicing for eighteen years. He is a staunch Republican and has worked hard to put other people in office, and his friends say it is no more than right that he should now be placed in office, as they believe in reciprocity and will rally to his support. He is a taxpayer, and has a wife and two daughters, whose company he enjoys. Mr. E. L. O'Neil has announced himself as a candidate for the nomination as judge of the Court of Topeka. He has had considerable experience with the court, as he was clerk for a long while, and has served Shawnee county as commissioner. He was said to be one of the best the county ever had, for while holding that position he did much to reduce taxes and put the county in first class running order. He has many friends, who say he will be nominated and add strength to the Republican ticket in Shawnee county, as he is a gentleman who is always firm in his dealings, and if elected to the office the party will have nothing to regret. Mr. H. W. Baumgardner announces himself as a candidate for coroner, subject to the primaries August 1. He is one of Shawnee counsy's staunch Republicans and is committeeman for the Fourth precinct. He says the Republicans have been loyal to him and he wishes them to stand by him in this fight, as he has stood at the polls for years and fought the battles of this organization and now he thinks the party should reciprocate by giving support to one of its sons. He lays stress on the fact that when coroner he treated colored people right, as it is his creed to treat all mankind right. Mr. Fred M. Stonestreet, who was the first marshal of the Court of Topeka when that court was established, has announced himself as a candidate for the same office, subject to the Republican primaries. He is a staunch Republican of the old Abraham Lincoln type and has never wavered from the party lines. He has lived in Topeka nearly all his life, is well known and is very poular with the party. He is now engaged in the undertaking business, Seventh and Quincy, under the firm name of Stonestreet & Son. He wishes his many friends to remember him at the polls, and if nominated and elected, assures them he will fill the office with honor and credit. F. M. Adams et al., Defendants.
