'Eighteenth Year. No. 26 Look at Our Announce Some State and County Can A Passing Glance at Want Your selected probata judge the widows and orphans who go to the court to have estates handled will not be met with long and slow litigation and enormous costs, but will find a probate judge who believes he is the servant of the people and will serve them faithfully and to the best of his ability. Mr. Gaw, is a friend of the colored people and has always made it a guiding principle in his transactions to be just and fair with them as well as other persons, whether rich or poor, high or low. He has been the means of turning employment to scores of colored men and women. He is greatly interested in the juvenile court, where so many children, both white and colored, are brought in to be dealt with, and his platform demands that there shall be a detention home where such children may be cared for and protected without their being placed in company with older and hardened criminals, and he also demands that there shall be provided a woman probation officer to serve in the juvenile court, to save and protect the girls who are unfortunate or inclined to be wild, or neglected by their parents and left to drift into wicked associations or criminal habits. He has always had a strong sympathy for these unfortunate young children, and if elected to the office will do everything in his power to protect the dependent and neglected, to reform those who have grown wrong and to develop them all into good citizens. DOUGLAS MOTE FOR JUDGE OF THE COURT OF TOPEKA Successful Young Lawyer Seeks Republican Nomination. Dealing more or less with various courts, the colored people are naturally deeply interested in the selection of men to be placed on the bench. They want to see men selected for such places who are unbiased by prejudice, and will deal fairly with all, regardless of creed, color or religion. In looking over the field we note that Mr. Douglas D. Mote, one of the brightest young attorneys in the state, is seeking the nomination for Judge of the Court of Topeka on the Republican ticket. Mr. Mote is a clean, upright, honorable young man, well versed in law and amply qualified to fill the position he seeks, and if nominated and elected we assure our people that they will at all times receive a square deal. Mr. Mote was deputy city attorney under Mayor Cofran, and in this capacity he made good and gained many friends among the colored people, many of whom are actively supporting him. Mr. Mote is a member of the law firm of Curtis, Mote, Rooney & Crossley, one of the strongest legal combinations in the West. He will appreciate your vote and support. The Republican voters of Shawnee county will be called upon for the first time to vote for the nomination of a lady for the office of county superintendent. Miss M'Edna Corbet has announced her candidacy for that office. She was born in Jefferson county and came to Topeka with her parents in 1902. She is a graduate of the Jefferson county graded schools, the Topeka high school, and holds a life certificate from the State Normal at Emporia: She also attended Kansas University two terms. Miss Corbet is a young lady who always was aggressive and has always tried to be the best at anything she attempted. She has taught school at Vidette, Pauline, Wanamaker and, Valencia. Her father, J. D. Corbet, is one of Shawnee county's successful farmers, and is respected by all who know him by Mrs. Corbet has al- Mr. A., W. Bradshaw, candidate for marshal of the court of Topeka, is one of the best known and most popular business men in Topeka. He is waglnp a vigorous campaign, and if nominated and elected will fill the office with honor and credit. MR. HENRY W. EULER, Republican Candidate for Judge of Court of Topeka. The many friends of Mr. Henry W. Euler will be pleased to note the announcement of his candidacy in the Plaindealer for Judge of the Court of Topeka. This office carries with it grave responsibilities, and great care should be exercised in selecting a man to preside over the court. It requires a man well versed in the practice of law, and he must be clean, upright and honorable, in all transactions, and, above all, unblinded by prejudice toward by man or race of men, and in Mr. Euler will be found all of these qualifications. Mr. Euler has resided in Topeka for 31 years, 24 years of which has been spent in the practice of law. He is one of the brightest legal lights in the state, and has many good, warm personal friends among the colored people, and if honored with their votes and support, Mr. Euler promises them a square deal at all times. He seeks your vote because he is qualified and capable, and will uphold the dignity of that court. The strongest endorsement ever given to a candidate for office in Shawnee county has been given to Ralph H. Gaw, Republican candidate for probate judge, by the attorneys of Topeka. The lawyers know who has the special fitness and ability to fill this important office, and over ninety of these lawyers have voluntarily endorsed Mr. Gaw as the man especially qualified and fitted for this position and the man who will faithfully and honestly perform every duty of the office. 12 RALPH H. GAW. Candidate for Probate Judge of Shawnee, County. of Topeka. He has lived in Shawnee county for thirty-five years. While working his way through Washburn college he learned short-hand writing and after leaving college was employed as a stenographer. He also served as court stenographer of the Shawnee district court during the twelve years that Judge Hazen was district judge. No one can have a better opportunity to estimate Gaw's character and ability than the judge under whom he served as court reporter, and when Judge Hazen retired from the bench to practice law he formed a partnership with Gaw, which still continues, and during that time Gaw has had a large experience in all kinds of probate court matters. He thoroughly believes it is the duty of the probate judge to serve the people, not the courts, and of Gaw's TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MORNING JULY 7, 1916 ways had a disposition to work and 'weed her own row,' and whatever she has accomplished has been through her own efforts; Having the inspiration of Horace Greeley to go west and grow up with the country," she went to Colorado and homesteaded, and while holding down the claim she found that she could be of service to the people of that community, and was also employed as a teacher in the city schools of Lamar, and was county superintendent of Klowa county, Colorado. The people of Colorado were carried away with her and were sorry to have her resign, but she was only there to prove up on a claim, and after doing so returned to Kansas, where she has been engaged in educational work. She is an upright Christian lady and a model for students to emulate; has been a member of Seabrock Congre J. ational church for several years. She is an influential church worker and has the admiration and respect of the entire congregation for. her ability to do things. The women of Shawnee county are rallying to her support. Her platform is for the betterment of the schools in the rural districts of Shawnee county, as she says there are many improvements needed in the schools in rural districts of this county, and in fact all over the state, and she says if nominated and elected she will go about doing things and putting into effect new ideas and thoughts, and while she wants the salary, she wants it distinctly understood that she believes in giving the people value received so that it will not be said that she held the office simply for the salary and never proposed anything to make it better for all concerned. The farmer needs better attention along educational lines and it is the duty of the superintendent to see that he gets them. Miss Corbet says she has encouragement from everybody and that she feels that she will be nominated. CANEY, KAN. We had the pleasure of visiting, Caney, the last town in Kansas on the Southern Kansas bordering on the Oklahoma line. This is the town where there are no colored people, and we were surprised to note this fact, as it is a thrifty town composed mostly of white people and few Mexicans, who are employed on the railroad and in the smelters. There is a Mexican restaurant located in this town. The white population is progressive and industrious and everything seems to be on the move. Caney is a very beautiful little town and we see no reason why some industrious colored people should not move there, as they could find plenty of work, and this is what we were told by different white people, who are fair and impartial and believe in treating all men alike as God had intended. We are surprised that colored people do not locate there because if the people once learned of their worth and responsibility they would have no trouble finding work. We therefore advise our colored people who read this article to go to Caney and visit the best people—that is, the thoroughbreds, and not the red-necks, and we will guarantee good treatment and a hearty welcome. We, were never treated any better in our life and must say that other reports about this town are false. There was a time, when the town was first settled, that the town was in the hands of women. The Peerless Princess Will Entertain Great Order. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor will meet in their annual session, at Wichita, beginning next Tuesday and ending Friday. Chief Grand Mentor Wilson and Chief Grand Preceptress Dtr. Emma Galnes are prepared to give a full report of the doings of the jurisdiction, as are also the other grand officers, save and except the late Sir William Core, chief grand treasurer, who has passed to the great beyond. The members of the grand body can be thankful that they have at their head a man who is always watchful and waiting to see that no breakers block the craft. Everything is in apple pie order and when the reports are read everybody will be happy and will return to their respective homes determined to do more. The order has grown wonderfully, by leaps and bounds. The endowment department, which is the bone and sinew of the organization, is in first class shape; all beneficiaries are paid up in full and everybody is feeling happy. The tabernacles, temples, tents and palliatums show great gains. The home is also in a prosperous condition. In fact, the order in Kansas has no superior anywhere. The business is carried on like a banking house—everything is checked up and accounted for and there is no friction, but all is love and unity. While Chief Grand Mentor Wilson is not in accord with President Wilson, I think it can be safely said that he retains the same, theory of watchful waiting, and did so many years before President Wilson even thought of this slogan. necks and no respecable colored or white people fared very well at their hands, but with the coming of schools and Christian civilization on the ascendancy there is no better town in Kansas than Caney. While in Caney we met the Hon. George H. Wark, who is a candidate for senator from Montgomery county. He was born in 1878 on a farm near Liberty, Kan., where he first received instructions how to perform laborious work on the farm, and he says from his experience he knows the needs of farmers and stock raisers of that district, and this is the kind of men who are wanted for the Senate. He is a friend of the laboring man and they have recently organized a "Wark for Senator Club." Mr. Wark is a graduate of K. U. law depart- 0 ment and was admitted to practice law by the Supreme Court in 1903. He located at Caney, Kan., and is now enjoying a large practice from the fact that he was never known to mistreat a client and has gone out of his way to see that they have the proper attention, such as he gives to all. His father was a Union soldier and served in the Civil war. Mr. Wark served as post commander of the Sons of Veterans of that county, is ex-president of the Bar Association, is a Mason, Odd Fellow, Elk and Workman. His office is in the same building with ex-Senator Porter, who was a member of the Leg' lature for years and did great work for the county and Kansas. Mr. Wark says that he has been assured by his many friends that he will be nominated. Price $1.50 Per Year. INDEPENDENCE. Rev. B. N. Stafford of Independence, Kan., has bought a 46-foot front building on East Main street valued at $1500 and is preparing to move his barber shop there. Rev. Stafford is also pastor of St. John Baptist church and is doing a great work for the upbuilding of this church. He is one among the leaders of the Baptist denomination of the West. He owns good property and is enjoying life by treating his fellowmen right. Dr. D., II. Davis and his committee are making great preparations to entertain the Knights of Pythias, July 26 to 27. They are arranging for the encampment and reception of grand officers and a big picnic on Friday. The people of Independence are very hospitable. Dr. Davis is one of the leading physicians of Kansas, and is grand secretary of the endowment department. He says everything is moving along nicely. He owns a nice bungalow and also a fine automobile, and is also a leader of his race. His wife and family are now visiting friends and relatives in Alabama. At Oswego we must say that the home of Mr. Willis, Rice is one of the prettiest in the city. The house is freshly painted, and with beautiful blue grass and flower beds everything corresponds. His wife is a beautiful woman and believes in having everything nice. Mr. P. H. Smiley, the gardener at Oswego, has no superior in the state. He is the first on the market with everything and his vegetables bring first class prices. He is well informed on gardening and we must say it is a pleasure to meet and talk with him. His wife is an industrious, energetic lady and they are to be commended for the success they have met along that line. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Landis own two nice homes, one of which is rented out. They are among Oswego's leading people. Founder of the Majors Oxford College of Hair Culture, Makes Overland Trip in His Seven Passenger Speedwell Car. Mr. W. L. Majors, president and founder of the Oxford College of Hair Culture, left on Wednesday, June 28, in his big six-cylinder Speedwell car to pay his annual visit to Oxford agents. This trip will cover over 3,000 miles, making stops in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska. This touring car is conveniently and specially equipped for overland trips, having a special electrical apparatus for giving openair demonstrations. Mr. Majors is accompanied by a part of the Oxford College executive force, secretary included. Miss Arvella Micheaux will also be one of the party. Miss Micheaux is one of St. Louis' most popular and talented young ladies and belongs to the younger ocial set. She will render her social services during the entire tour. Mr. Majors' purpose in making this trip is to visit all of his agents in the above named states, and by touring in his machine we finds it more convenient to reach those agents who live in the rural districts than to travel by rail. Mrs. Majors will not accompany her husband on this tour, but will remain to look after the business, so anyone desiring Mr. Majors to make a stop in their city or town or rural district while on his tour through the above mentioned states, will kindly write in at once, giving name, address or rural route, and he will arrange to visit you. The Majors College is the only one of its kind owned and operated throughout by one of our race in the state of Michigan. ```markdown ``` --- OSWEGO. --- Hon. U. S.

He has gone out and made speeches defending the platform, of the party. He served as mayor of Kansas City, Kah., and gave that city one of the best administrations it ever had, and says that if elected the business and laboring men will have no cause for regret. Mr. T. L. Faler is a candidate for treasurer of Montgomery county on the Republican ticket, and in talking to the voters of that county they say it is the duty of the Republicans to nominate and elect him. 1930 T. L. FALER. Candidate for Treasurer of Montgomery County. He is a young, active Republican and can do much good for the party and run the office successfully from the fact that he has had experience, while his opponent is a banker and is quite an elderly, man and should now be retired from hard work, as he owns an interest in a bank at Cherryvale. Mr. Faler is a hard working boy and the party should see that he gets the nomination. Colonel Edward C. Little, examinister to Egypt and attorney at law, has announced himself as a candidate for congressman from the Second district. The Colonel served with the Twentieth Kansas in the Philippines, came out with honors and had the respect and admiration of the men under his command. He says that there is no doubt of his being nominated for congressman from the district from the fact that the Second district wants a Republican who can go to the front and make the sight at Washington and get results. He is a graduate of K. U. and has practiced law twenty-six years, has been connected with the staunch and reliable Republicans and diplomats all his life, and through his popularity carried Wyandotte county by one thousand in 1914 for associate justice of the Supreme Court. He has several endorsements from prominent men over the district pledging themselves to support him for congressman. He also has a large support among the legal fraternity from other counties in the district. He says he will leave no stone unturned and that the Democrats will be afraid to attack him. Lexington, Mo. City of Progress and Prosperity. The Plaindcaler Scribe in the "Show Me" State and Says It's No Time to Swap Horses While Crossing a Stream—"Don't Rock the Boat." BAUGHMAN'S NOTES AND COMMENT! (Theo. Baughman, Scribe.) is one of the best in that town. For years this good man has followed his trade and made good. if the rule would work both ways. Let the Negro tell the white man how to vote some time. The Negro is an "anti" at heart and should be The colored man must exercise wise judgment and in all things touching the material advancement of the country should receive his consideration. We should think out things ourselves and as free Americans act according to the dictates of our minds. For a number of years a great many white men thought it was a divine obligation to tell the Negro what to do, in almost every issue that came up, and the Prohibitionists still believe they are divinely called to say to the colored man how he should vote when a local option election is called. These people are over-anzious about our welfare at the time one of said elections is staged, but they don't "give a durn" about us at any other old time. We would suggest that we be very much left alone—don prepare any free sandwiches, coffee, etc., and, too, we are not willing to be a part of the parades that are features of the Prohibitionists. We don't care a snap of our fingers about crocodile tears that are shed over our interests at prohibition time, because such friendship don't help one lota. These people know away down in their hearts that they care nothing about us, and the funny part is, we can not see how our folks will stand for the "ragtime stuff" our dear Prohibition friends (1) try to ram down our threats. We are willing to acknowledge that neither the "antis" or "proe" are too much in love with the Negro, but the "antis" are the more liberal toward us and are willing to let us at least live. The next thing to prohibition comes segregation, and a colored man that really loves his race can not afford to be a part of the Prohibition party. The writer is strictly temperate, but firmly believes in personal liberty. --- One of our friends at Lexington, Mo.; is Mr. John Johnson, who is the popular janitor at the postoffice in that city. Since our last visit to Lexington he has erected a modern cottage and his family is domiciled in one of the best colored homes there. Mr. Johnson keeps the postoffice building and grounds in tip-top shape. ```markdown ``` The Negro race can not figure it out that the white man is especially in love with them nor care the snap of your finger how we make it. Hence the Prohibitionists are losing time trying to convince us that they are our best friends. One thing we do know—the white "antis" treated us fair and we are going to remain with them. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Pearl Ackers, a Plaindealer admirer, don't feed your scribe on promises, but always gives us a little of the "long green" when we visit Lexington. She and her good husband are employed at the Wentworth Academy and receive nice salaries. --- We all acknowledge there are fourteen saloons at Lexington, Mo., but they are well regulated and that town has as few drunks as you find at any place in the state. The city is well officered, and there is never friction between the races, and we feel confident that the majority of the citizens will keep it one of the best towns in the state by voting the anti-prohibition ticket. --- Miss Cordeleia Hayden, one of the popular lady teachers of Lexington, joined our number of readers. She is quite a cultured woman and is toiling to make the race better. We called on Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins W. Workcuff, who have just completed a 15-room place to accommodate the race when they visit Lexington. The rooms are neat and they serve the best on their table. Mr. Workcuff is an expert miner, and his excellent little wife makes a pleasing hostess. See these people when you are in that city. --- The interests of the colored man at Lexington, Mo. can best be served by him supporting the anti-prohibition ticket. Go to the polls and vote and help keep prosperity in that city. Mr. J. M. Freeman, the expert mechanic, is one of the men of our race at Lexington. He owns some valuable property; in fact, his home is one of the best in that town. For years this good man has followed his trade and made good. The colored man at Lexington had better "keep his feet to the fire" and help keep that town wet. You need not go about yelling yourself hoarse, but go to the polls and see that your vote is for anti-prohibition. --- The citizens of Lexington entertained the District Conference, Sunday School Convention and Mite Missionary Convention of the A. M. E. church last week, and Rev. Brooks and his good people left no stone unturned to make the occasions enjoyable ones. The colored Masons of Lexington own a three-story brick building valued at several thousand dollars. Every Negro society in that place uses this building. We hope the race will get busy and open up business enterprises in every available space of that spacious building. --- Mr. Samuel Wright, one of the colored miners and good citizens of Lexington, helped your scribe financially during his stay at that place. The colored man should be allowed to think for himself, and after he reasons out things and finds that it is to his interest to support an issue he should be accorded the same privilege to do as he likes, without being abused. Eighty per cent of us are "antls" and will vote that way. The colored voters of Lexington, Mo., have decided that it is to their interest to help keep that town wet and in the coming local option election will vote the anti-prohibition ticket. White folks who attempt to walk arm-in-arm with the colored man now can't fool him. --- There is a union revival being held at Lexington, which commenced the first Sunday in July. We hope much good will be accomplished for the Master's kingdom. The Negro can not get too much of the love of God in his heart. The average colored man is capable of deciding for himself how to vote in local option elections, and in the one to be held July 15 our people are going on record as being strictly in favor of keeping Lexington in the wet column. Rev. Williams, who is ably pastoring the Baptist church at Lexington, has been called to the pastorate of the leading Baptist church at McAlester, Okla. He will take up his new work in about thirty days. --- Let us, as a race, register in favor of anti-prohibition July 15. The Prohibitionists haven't asked us to vote on anything else but the liquor issue, so let us leave them alone and stay with the men who are our friends. The colored Masons and their lady members held their anniversary services at the Masonic temple in Lexington, Sunday, June 26. Sermon by Rev. Williams. A large crowd was out everything passed off in a creditable manner. If you don't want a drink, that is your business. A wide open town has a "dry" town skinned from every viewpoint. Let the colored voter bear this in mind. Don't let our churches become political meeting places, nor must we allow them to be used as "catspaws to pull acorns out of the fire. Cut out prohibition agitation and everything else that has no right in them, and before long the Holy Ghost will make itself known in more of our places of worship. We will not have to wonder about empty pews in many of the houses of worship if we will spend a minute in taking stock. Let our ministers make them true places of worship—places where the King will not mind coming in. The Negro minister who attempts to cover up his rottenness with his ministerial garb should be unfrocked. This bunch of Bible beaters are doing the race untold harm. At times when there is a prohibition election we have noticed in many places white people working overtime telling the Negro how he should vote. It would be all right if the rule would work both ways. Let the Negro tell the white man how to vote some time. The Negro is an "anti" at heart and should be allowed to vote his honest sentiments. The colored man is letting the prohibition election very much alone—he is not "bursting his galluses" for the "pros," because he is convinced that his interests will be better served by allowing the town of Lexington to remain as it is. Too, white folks preparing coffee and lunches and serving them to our race on prohibition election days should be snubbed. They are not willing to serve them any other day to us, and we do not want them at such a time. Mrs. John Galbraith, of Lincoln, Neb., is visiting her husband's relatives here. Mr. James Wilson, who holds a lucrative position with the Morehead Lumber Co. of Lexington, observed the U. B. F. and S. M. T. thanksgiving exercises at Sedalia, Mo. The Negro has reached that stage of civilization where he can think it out for himself when it comes to issues, and in the prohibition election he is going to figure it out that a "wet" town is the best. Mrs. James Hawkins, who owns a beautiful cottage and rental property at Lexington, and whose husband is a miner, met us and gave us some money. Mr. C. W. Holmes, superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school at Lexington, who owns a valuable residence, is one of the live wires in that town. You will do the wise thing to help keep Lexington in the wet column. Mr. S. D. Johnson, an excellent young single man at Lexington, who owns seven rental houses in that town and an interest in 100 acres of land in Oklahoma, helped the scribe during his visit to that city. We do not want white people catching hold of our arms, walking and talking to us during a prohibition election. Treat us just like you did before the election was called.

Some of the Strange Things Concerning the Calling of Men to the Higher Ranks of Ministry. Joplin, Mo., June 27. It is said that God visited the three general conferences held in the month of May, viz: the A. M. E. in Philadelphia, and called to Negroes to the office of bishop; and in Loulsville, at the A. M. E. Bion general conference, He called four Negroes to the office of bishop for the church in America and wherever God would have them go, and when he got to Saratoga Springs, where the general conference of the great Methodist Episcopal church was in session He found out that it would not do to call a Negro to the office of bishop for the church in America, and after some speeches in favor of one Negro being called for Africa the call was made and one Negro answered. Thus we have one Negro bishop in Africa and not in America. Is this the work of God or the work of mere meat? May God help us to practice the teaching of the Bible, "Out of one blood God created all men," from all of whom he calls some to the office of bishop. W. J. DeBOE, B pastor of Trinity, Chapel M. E. Pastor of Trinity Chapel M. E. Church, Joplin, Mo. OTTAWA, KAN. A goodly number of Ottawas were badly disappointed in their gardens this year for the floods have kept them from having successful gardens. The flood which came on the 12th of June was 31 feet above low water and that on the 21st was 27 feet. The people of Ottawa were aroused in the midst of their slumbers by a violent storm, which occurred Sunday night. There was considerable damage to trees and garden crops.

C., June 28. Mr. Editor: Please allow me to say just a few words to our race leaders of America. I have been prayerfully considering the situation which confronts us as a race in this country. When the news of the wiping out of the Tenth cavalry was flanked over this country a few days ago it showed that our race has ever been ready and willing to shed the first blood when the dignity of the United States must be upheld. It must be admitted that it was quite a blunder of the present administration in its dealings with the Mexican question to allow a company of the best soldiers of the land to be shot down under such circumstances. I believe now is the time for the conservative men of our race in every state to meet together in a conference, behind closed doors for the first day at least, and there agree and decide upon something to present to Congress and to the white citizens of this country that might arouse their consciences so they would be willing to make the United States constitution the instrument of protection that it declares Neilf to be in dealing with the civil and political rights of black men as well as white men. It is pathetic and, at the same a travesty on American justice when our men offer themselves a willing sacrifice to revenge wrongs done white Americans in Mexico, when the country demands retribution and wreaks vengeance on Mexicans who kill white men, tolerates and silently endorses the lynching of black men under its own flag nearly every week in the year. The President and Congress that are as silent as the sphinx on outrages committed on black men right in this country speaks in thunder tones and sends a nation of men to avenge the wrongs done white Americans in Mexico. But we who are not at the front must not slumber in our tents, but rise up and demand the proper protection of Black Americans in America as well as the protection of white Americans in Mexico. I hereby appeal to every race loving man and woman to let me know what you think of such a conference being held in the city of Washington or some other convenient place. In a joint meeting of the Baltimore and Washington Ministers' Conference June 26, 1016, such a conference was endorsed, and advised that Dr. William Alexander of Baltimore, Md., and the writer should call such a meeting. I will be glad to hear from anyone who approves of the plan. This conference will not be for any newspaper notoriety or personal gain, but to plan for concerted action in arousing the American people to a sense of justice in the treatment of Black citizens. Youum for the rights of the Negro race. (Rev.) W. H. JERNAGIN. 430 Que St., N. W. LAWRENCE, KAN. Miss Rachel Henderson, who has been making an extended visit here the guest of her sister, Mrs. A.

It is with heartfelt sadness that we learn of the continued illness of William Monroe Trotter. Mr. Trotter, as editor of the Boston Guardian, has fought bravely and fearlessly for equal rights and equal opportunities, for many years, for his people. And now, as he lies in the shadow of death, each and all of us should send up prayers that he may be spared to continue the fight which he so bravely began. The American white man has been very unfair to the colored youth of this country. Years ago young colored men were permitted to attend the military school at West Point and we had some colored men to graduate one of whom is Major Young, who is now in the service, and whom they have shifted around from time to time and kept him from his command the greater part of the time. Since that time they have not admitted any colored students, and some years ago they trimmed the ears of a colored cadet, Mr. Whittaker of South Carolina, and caused him to leave the school. Colored students are not admitted at the naval academy at Annapolis, yet any foreigner, Mexican or any other nationality, can attend these schools and study the methods of training. Now this could be given consideration and colored boys allowed to attend these institutions and given commands. There is no difference in having a colored officer than a white so long as they are in the line of duty. We wish to announce to the public and the readers of the Topeka Plaindealer to get busy and seek out the record of Thomas Watt Gregory, who it is reported will be considered by the administration as a probable successor to ex-Judge Hughes on the supreme bench. Mr. Gregory was born in Crawrordsville, Miss., and is 55 years of age. He graduated from the university at Clarksville, Tenn., attended the University of Virginia, studied law in the University of Texas and was admitted to the bar in that state. He practiced law at Austin, and from 1891 to 1894 was assistant city attorney and later was appointed assistant attorney general of that state. Now, this is too much Southern and too much Texas to sit on a supreme bench at Washington. We wish that the colored people of Texas, Mississippi and elsewhere will get busy and search out the record of this man concerning colored people while in office in Texas. If he was in favor of Jim Crow laws or segregation or was opposed to equal human rights for all races, then he is unfit for the bench, and it is the duty of the people to see to it that he is opposed for confirmation. Anyone knowing anything concerning his record will kindly write such information to this office, signing name thereto, as we do not want cowards or persons who will write under an assumed name. Be sure you know what you are writing concerning him, as it is facts that we want. We cannot afford at this time to allow a man to sit on the supreme bench who is tainted with race prejudice and has so demonstrated it in his daily walks of life. If we find this to be true of Mr. Gregory, we shall call upon everybody who believes in fair play to oppose his confirmation; and whatever name is sent for consideration, it is the duty of the colored people to know whether he has been fair in public matters as pertaining to the race. The Undertaker Funerals carefully looked after. Calls answered day or night. I guarant- ees to please, both in price and service. Complete Stock of FURNITURE AND HOUSEHOLD GOODE.

If the Government had asked you to invest your money in a plant to supply Government needs; and after the plant was built, and had become useful for no other purpose, the Government built a plant of its own, making your plant useless and your investment valueless—would that seem fair? That is precisely what Congress is planning for the Government to do with refertne to our Investment of $7,000,000 in an armor plant. Reporting to Congress, Hon. H. A. Herbert, then Secretary of the Navy, said December 31, 1896: "The two armno contractors, the Bethlehem Iron Company and th Carnegie Steel Company, both entered upon the business AT THE REQUEST OF THE NAVY DPEARTMENT." Is it wise—is it fair—for the Government to destroy a private industry brought into existence to serve the Government, unless for reasons of compelling force? To show that no such reasons exist, we make this offer to the United States Government: The Bethlehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for the Government of the United States at the actual cost of operation plus such charges for overhed expenses, interest, and depreciation as the Federal Trade Commission may fix. We will do this for such period as the Government may designate. Isn't that fair? The question is now before the United States Senate. to each cupful and accomplish as much as with a whole cupful of ordinary flour.

Less Than Six Months Ago He Was Rejected for Membership in the Democratic Flambeau Club "We note that Frank B. Brown, of Topeka, is a Republican candidate for secretary of state. If our recollection serves us right he formerly claimed to be a Democrat and only a short time ago was black balled and refused admission to the Democratic club of Topeka. We are glad to know that he is now a Republican."—X-Ray Democrat. The above item in a Democratic newspaper in Shawnee county has excited considerable comment in political circles. An investigation shows that Mr. Brown was for many years an active member of the Flambeau club of Topeka; that he served on important committees in that club; that for some reason he dropped out of the club a year ago but a few months later—less than six months ago—he applied for readmission and was rejected for personal reasons. He again renewed his application and was rejected a second time. The investigation further shows that to be admitted to the Democratic Flambeau club of Topeka an applicant must sign a card stating amony other things that he is a firm believer in the principles of Democracy. Under the old primary law it was necessary for a candidate for a state office to secure a large number of petitioners in order to get his name on the ballot; under the new law a candidate can either file petitions or file a declaration, paying a fee. Mr. Brown filed a declaration, paid the fee and became a candidate without the name of a single Republican to vouch for either his qualifications or his Republicanism.—Topeka Daily Capital.

Steel Company Bethlehem Steel Company Politics in Kansas! All Parsons is aroused over the coming nomination of city officers under a new law which provides for nomination in August and election in November. This is something unusual for a city administration, as we have not heard of another city doing this at this time, and it seems to be a special act for Parsons, which has the commission form of government. There are several candidates for the various offices. Hon. J. C. Bertsch has announced himself as a candidate for mayor. He was recently appointed to fill out the unexpired term and the Y. M. C. A., Central Bible class and several business people of that city have combined and asked him to stand for the election, as they have been convinced that he is the proper man for the place from the satisfaction he has given during the few months he has been in office. He has enforced the law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to minors and has stopped the operation of joints and other things that were flourishing before he took heid. He was a prosperous farmer for a number of years; was born in Ohio, raised in Indiana, but has lived in Lebette county thirty-seven years, and says that if nominated and elected the people will have nothing to regret, and that he will give them a city they will be proud of. One of the most popular officers of Montgomery county is Sheriff Elam, who was born in that county forty-five years ago, and was for several years connected with the Katy Railroad company. He stood him in the eyes of the officers of that corporation and at any time he might choose he could secure a position with them. He has made one of the best sheriffs the county ever had, and is popular with the masses. He was a hard working farmer for more than sixteen years and was township trustee for more than twelve years; in fact, was called upon by the people of that vicinity when a farmer, as they held him in high esteem as an upright man who was interested in them. He is a member of the H. T. and is an Odd Fellow. He is fearless, having had to deal with some of the worst criminals of this country, yet he has had no trouble in enforcing the law, as he knows how to handle humanity. His many friends say he will be renominated and re-elected with scarcely any opposition, --- Mr. Andy F. Falconer, who is a candidate for commissioner of streets and public utilities for the city of Parsons, has lived in the city over twenty-two years, was connected with the M. K. & T. seventeen years and served as a railroad man over twenty-five years. He is a staunch Republican and has served the city of Parsons as councilman, and has had experience in public life almost all his life, which fits him for the position he seeks. If elected to that office the streets and public works over which he will preside will be kept in first class condition and the public will have nothing to regret for electing a man who has had experience along that line, as his ability can not be questioned. He is no novice, but is practical and will make good. ```markdown ``` The voters of Labette county will be called upon to vote for the nomination of a candidate for the office of state senator to represent them in the next Legislature, which will convene in Topeka in January, 1917. Mr. Paul H. Kimball has announced himself as a candidate for this place, and his friends say there will be no doubt of his nomination, as he is a young lawyer who has made good. He was born in the city of Parsons and is known by every man, woman and child, and the general talk of the voters is that his election will be almost unanimous. He was admitted to practice law in 1907 and is a graduate of K. U. law department. He is a member of the firm of Kimball & Osgood. * * * Mr. J. F. Heckman, who is a candidate for register of deeds of Franklin county, is a successful farmer, a stalwart Republican and very popular among the people of that county, especially the colored voters, from the fact that his reputation has always been to treat everybody alike, and if elected to the office the voters will have no cause for regret, as he is an honest, upright, Christian man who will fill the office with ease and will give the people a square deal. Mr. B. R. Redman has announced himself as a candidate for county attorney of Franklin county, subject to the Republican primaries August 1. He is a young man full of push and energy. He was born in Douglas county and is a graduate from the law department of K. U., and if elected to the office of county attorney will fill the office with credit and honor and the citizens of Franklin county say the people are in need of a county attorney who can give the office proper attention. The business men and farmers of the Republican party are supporting Mr. Redman from the fact that he says he wants the office, while his opponent is not particular whether he is elected or not. Mr. Redman was formerly connected with the law firm of Fred M. Harris, which is one of the leading law firms of the state. He has just recently opened his office over Gardner P. Walker's store and when completed it will be one of the nearest offices in the city. There is no question as to his nomination, as he is a young man who makes friends with all whom he meets, and the people like a man of this type. The people of Labette county will be called upon to nominate several officers this year and great efforts G. W. HAMILTON. * I am Open for Business Night and Day.

Judge Thompson has announced himself as a candidate for the office of probate judge and there seems to be no doubt of his renomination. He has lived in the county thrity-three years and has been a farmer over twenty-five years. He is a native of Illinois, a staunch Republican and is popular with the masses. He has many friends among the colored people who will support him for the office. He has over 700 estates which he has settled, and over 150 girls and boys under his supervision, none of whom want a change at this time, and it would be a detriment to do so, therefore everybody is moving heaven and earth to renominate him. His opposition is very small. ```markdown ``` One of the leading colored business places at Lawrence is the cafe and restaurant owned by Mr. Nicholas Allen, at 846½ Connecticut. Mr. Allen is a professional cook; in fact, an all around caterer and baker. He was for years connected with the W. L. Anderson bakery and was for more than eight years considered one of the best bakers in the state and Mr. Allen is reputed na having no superior along that line. Since leaving that trade he has taken up the restaurant and cafe work and has made quite a success. He has improved his restaurant by establishing a summer garden, where first class meals, ice cream, soda water and watermelons and everything in season can be found. Mr. Allen is a Tennesseean by birth and has been a resident of Lawrence for the past thirty-nine years—was brought to Lawrence by his parents when 7 years of age. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and is a staunch race man, very popular among the people at Lawrence, and a man who sticks strictly to business. On Sunday he has a special bill of fare which consists of everything the market affords, and with music in connection. Great crowds visit this place, where they can be comfortably served and where it is cool and refreshing, with everything up to date. Mr. Allen is kind and affable and takes great pains in seeing that his guests are properly cared for. Lawrence is proud of his business and those who visit there will make no mistake in calling on him. DR. PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER 25c Postpaid Whitens and Clears dark or brown skin.

Broad- nax is one of the most efficient men in the ministry and fraternal work that you ever listened to. Ie ex- plained Masonry in the highest type, and told both men and women what kind of man it takes to be- come a Mason and continue to be one, and what kind of a woman to be his helpmate in the Masonic sphere. The full description of the dl- vision of Masonry was giver. The F. & A. A. Y, Masons were at one time trampled down; but per. sona are beginning to wake up te the fact that the York Masons, 01 compact Masons, are the only legiti. mate Masons in the Union, The} were given thelr charter directly from York, England, and Princ Hall was the one to bring Masonry to this countsy. The York Masons are working under the original standard of Ma. sonry. We know that the good work done by fraternal societies among our people can hardly be es timated by the average mind. The F. & A. A. Y. Masons are one among the best fraternal sorie tles, It is headed and fostered by many good, self-sacrificing men and women.

My Dear "Citizenry": In this open letter it is my desire to appeal to your unbiased and fair judgment. Is it fair to those who have spent their lives in an honest struggle to build up for themselves and those they represent a good reputation for honesty, veracity, truthfulness and industry, to be repudiated or ignored and thus discouraged by the supposedly most honorel citizens? I met an honored citizen on a street of this city Tuesday past and he told me that he was going to canvass the city in the interest of a movement represented by a gentleman with whom he has recently become acquainted. The writer has no objection as to the amount any person should contribute, nor to what enterprise they contribute thereto; but is it fair to the man whom you have known for thirty years and who is known throughout the state by all classes, races, creeds and partisans for his truthfulness, honesty and integrity, and with whom you have associated in an official way and otherwise for a decade or more—one who represents a cause that is beneficial and helpful to all—and turn him and his cause down for one untried and for those whom you know absolutely nothing about, one who has never been a taxpayer or cast a vote in this our great state? I ask, is it fair? And yet this is exactly what is happening in our city every day. Those people who are discouraging us by this attitude are the ones who are criticising us for "not doing." "Consistency, thou art a jewel." When will we practice what we preach? When will we encourage the hard and studious laborer who seeks the best method to be a blessing to all? My life has been a benefactor to white and black alike in this commonwealth for twenty-eight years. We are striving to establish a day nursery for children with a kindergarten department, an employment agency for men and reading rooms for both sexes, where we might be able to carry on social settlement work, thus keeping our young people off the streets, out of the pool halls, dives and obscene picture shows. How many of the people who complain against the above named devices are assisting us in removing the cause and establishing better environments? I am, as ever, yours REV. J. R. RANSOM, 1930 N.

Declare The Plaindealer Erred About Closing Saloonr. We are in receipt of vigorous protests from prominent citizens of Carriotlon, Mo., in regard to a statement made in the paper last week in regard to the closing of the saloons in that city. They declare that our informant was some rapid crank and that since the saloons have been voted out, that the city is losing its business activity, and they have more idle men than was ever known in the history of the town. They further state that if Lexington desires to maintain her present prosperity and business activity, her citizens should not make the and mistake Carriotlon has done in voting out the saloons. In justice to the good people of both cities, and not desiring to do any one an injustice, we gladly make this statement in the way of a correction. JOHN H. HARRIS The Republicans of Douglas county will find no difficulty in voting for a winner in the race for clerk of the district court if they pick Mr. W. T. Harwood, who is a candidate for that position, and there is no doubt as to his qualifications to fill the position with honor and dignity. Senator E. F. Porter of Pittsburg, Crawford county, is a candidate for re-election to the senate, subject to the Republican primaries in August. He has made one of the best senators Kansas ever had, is a man well posted on the rules of the senate and is a senator who makes his services invaluable for the reason that he can call up bills and pass measures for the good of his county and the benefit of the state. This is of vital importance, as a new man would hardly get his feet wet before the senate adjourned and would accomplish nothing. Therefore it is up to the people of Crawford county to renominate and re-elect Senator Porter. ...Vote For... U.S. GUYER Republican Candidate for CONGRESS Second Dist.
