Topeka Plaindealer Cream of the Republican Party Seeking Nominations. E. P. McCABE COMING! Only Negro Ever Elected to a State Office in Kansas Will Campaign for Miss Wooster. Hou. E. P. McCabe, the first and only colored man ever elected to a state office in Kansas will be in the state and week to campaign for Miss Lizzie Wooster, Republican candidate for state superintendent of public instruction. Mr. McCabe served Kansas two terms as state auditor. Miss Wooster is one of the leading educators of the United States and is thoroughly equipped for the office she seeks. She is a recognized authority on school work and author of several text books which have been adapted by some of the leading public schools of the country. Under date of July 13, Mr. McCabe writes from his home in Chicago as follows: "To Whom it May Concern: This is to curtify that I have known Miss Wooster for a number of years. She is now a candidate for state superintendent of schools. She will bring to the office all that it requires; towit: a knowledge of schools and school conduct. I shall be in Kansas and will take the stump for her as soon as I can make it convenient to leave Chicago. "Miss Wooster's father aided me when I became-auditor of, state of Kansas, and it is nothing more than right that I should assist her, his child, in this particular, who aspires to a state office akin to the one held by me. Yours truly. The Woosters have always been friendly to the colored race, aiding them wherever they could and there are thousands of men and women in Knness who remember the McCabe incident, and have told the story so often until they too know of the circumstance and will join Mr. McCabe in his fight for this noble woman. --- Mr. Wiley W. Cook, assistant state treasurer and candidate for treasurer of the great state of Kansas wishes it to be known to his friends that he expects to be nominated and wants the nomination by a large majority. His many friends do not question his nomination, but want to make it so unanimous that the Democrats will not oppose it. Mr. Cook is an upright business man and is popular among all classes and races. He practices no hypocrisy and deceit but is a plain, everyday, common ordinary citizen and is devoted to the upbuilding of Kansas and the Republican party. If he is nominated it will add strength to the ticket as he is very popular in all portions of the state and has, endearedly himself in the hearts of the people in such a manner that they could not vote against him if they wanted to. Some newspaper endorsements of Matt Weightman, Jr., Republican candidate for state treasurer: Matt Weightman, Jr., would admirably fill the office of state treasurer—Chase, County Leader. Handlin Millions of Dollars. Matt Weightman handled millions of dollars for Shawnee county and accounted in his last audit for every cent—Tepoka State Journal. He is a Square Man.

He is a square man and has all the qualifications, competency, and honesty necessary to an official—Marshall County News. Equipped by Experience, Mr. Matt Weightman's extended experience would give him an excellent equipment for the responsible post of custodian of the state funds. —Wellington Press. A Mum of Ability and Training. The voters of Kansas have know- ingly adopted the plan of electing high grade men to this very impor- tant office; and Weightman will be exactly 'in line in this respect.—Clay Center Times. An Ideal Treasurer. It is not often men of Weightman's ability and training are offered for the consideration of the voters. He would make an ideal treasurer for Kansas—and a most courteous one. Kansas, Farmer. strongest man the Republicans could nominate for state treasurer. He would make a most useful and satisfactory public servant—Lindsborg News-Record. He will appreciate your vote and support. No stronger endorsements have ever been given a candidate for an office in the state of Kansas than has been given Mr. Walter Payne, Republican candidate for state treasurer. As to qualifications and fitness, the state has no better man, and his nomination and election would meet the hearty approbation of every Republican voter in the state. He is a strong man—clean, fair, square and every inch a gentleman. Mr. Payne is a tried, true friend of the colored people and he will appreciate your vote and support. SHAWNEE COUNTY. Don't forget your friend, Mr. F. E. Nippis for county commissioner on August 1st. Mr. Nippis has made a splendid official and richly deserves a second term. Mr. A. Ward Bradshaw, candidate for marshal of the court of Topeka, is a man who has made a success of his own business and promises if nominated and elected to give the public the same careful attention that has brought him success in the conduct of his private affairs. He will appreciate your vote and support. --- The voters of Shawnee county should lose no opportunity to vote for the re-election of Hon. James A. Troutman, candidate for state senator, second term. He knows what the county needs and is well qualified for the place because he has served his first term and is now in good shops to make the county a better senator. --- Mr. Phillip C. Wilson, Republican candidate for judge of the court of Topeka, is a young lawyer of high attainments and a thorough knowledge of law, having practiced before the Shawnee county bar for over ten years, and with his experience and thorough knowledge of law and its execution eminently qualifies him for the office of judge of the court of Topeks. Mr. Wilson is a Washburn graduate and grew up in Topeka and has a host of good, warm personal friends among people of all races, and if nominated and elected he will play no favorites, but treat all on an equality. He will be judge, and no "phony" complaints will be put over on some poor unfortunate cuss, as you raust have the goods to do business. Mr. Wilson is a true blue Republican and has always stood loyalty to the party no matter how dark and gloomy the way, he is always a Republican. He is young, active—a quick thinker and a close student, which would insure a square deal for those who may chance to have business with that court. He is well known among the colored people, having attended school with many of the younger set and they are loud in their praise of him. --- Mrs. Mary F. Chapin, assistant probate judge of Shawnee county, has served in that position as its chief clerk for the past six years, is now seeking the position as clerk of the district court of Shawnee county, which, place she is in everyway fully competent to fill. She is worthy and should be encouraged. She is a young widow who was left with one child to support, her husband having died a short while after their marriage, but as she is a young woman full of push and ambition she handled to accept the position under Judge W. F. Schoch and her work provol to satisfactory that she was promoted to assistant and retained in the office by the succeeding judge. She knew the running of the office so well that it was hard to find one that could excell her. In the absence of the probate judge she performs marriage ceremonies and other duties of that office. Mrs. Chapin is TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JULY 21, 1916 a very pleasing lady to meet and has been endorsed by 108 lawyers who have the most business in that court and knowing her excellent qualifications gladly signed her petition as they know that if she is elected all matters transacted in her office would be properly looked after. It is the duty of the voters of Shawnes county to rally to Mrs. Chapin's support. A young woman of this type possessing courage after becoming a widow with one child to go cut into the world and seek a position of this kind and make good should be promoted. Mrs. Chapin is a graduate of the Topeka High school and taught school in Auburn township. Mr. Wright will appreciate your vote for county clerk. He knows the work. --- Hon. H.' W. Euler, candidate for judge of the court of Topeka, is one of the best known citizens in Shawnee county and has assisted in fighting the battles of the Republican party in Shawnee county for the past thirty years. Mr. Euler has always been a willing volunteer to take his place on the firing line for the other fellow and after all of these years is for the first time, asking his party to "please pass the ple." Since it has took him thirty years to work-up an appetite for a small taste of ple. Mr. Euler's friends are going to put forth every effort to land him a seat at the county, where he can push back and eat to his heart's content. "The present campaign brings back many pleasant memories of the long ago," said Mr. Euler to a reporter for The Plaindealer. "When E. P. McCabe, made the race for state auditor, John Brown and John M. Wright, for county clerk, Fred Stonestreet, for marshal of the court of Topeka, and Judge W. I. Jamison for justice of the peace, I campaigned for these gentlemen and each was successful. I see that McCabe is going to visit the state in a few days, and when he arrives all of that grand bunch of good fellows will be here and I shall be pleased to meet them and recount the pleasant incidents of old times." Speaking further, Mr. Euler said, "I am willing to take my chances with the colored people. They know me and what I've done and what I will do." Mr. Euler is an able lawyer and if nominated and elected will give an excellent account of himself in the court of Topeka. He is a true blue Republican—one who never loans on the job when there is a campaign on tan. Elsewhere in this paper will be be found the announcement of Mr. H. C. Ericsson, candidate for sheriff of Shawnee county. Mr Ericsson comes well recommended both in qualifications to all the office and as a gentleman, honored citizen and splendid neighbor. He is a believer in a square, fair deal for everybody as he proved while serving two terms as sheriff of Waubaunsee, our neighboring county. While the colored vote of that county is very light indeed, Mr. Ericsson is the first man to give them recognition by giving them a deputy in his office which gives him a clean bill of health so far as his attitude toward the colored people are concerned. Mr. Ericsson says that if elected to the office he seeks that he will save money for the county and the taxpayers by turning the $4,000 a year for boarding prisoners over to the county, that all he wants is the $3,500 a year allowed the sheriff by law for his services. He characterizes the present system of the sheriff pocketing the board money as "graft." MONTGOMERY A FRIEND OF THE COLORED RACE The other day a young colored man walked into the office of the undertaking establishment of Mr. G. W. Hamilton on Kansas avenue with a bunch of cards of Mr. W. P. Montgomery, who is a candidate for county attorney, and said to Mr. Hamilton, "I wish you would take some of these cards and vote for and support Mr. Montgomery for county attorney for the reason that Mr. Montgomery and his wife put my two sisters through the High school and I want to do all I can for him, as he and his wife provided a home and bought clothing for them." As a matter of fact Mr. Montgomery and his wife have now the fourth young colored girl in the High school for whom they are providing a home and clothing. These acts of generosity on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery should receive the highest commendation of the colored people and in consideration thereof the colored people of the city of Topeka should give to Mr. Montgomery their united and loyal support for the office of county attorney. FOR SHERIFF OF FRANKLIN COUNTY Mr. E. B. Rozell is asking the support of the colored voters at the primary election Aug. 1, 1916 for the Republican nomination for sheriff of Franklin county. Mr. Rozell is a successful farmer of this county. He was born on a farm in Ohio, moved to Missouri in 1880, and to Kansas in 1900. This is his first time to ask for an office. Mr. Rozell has always given employment to colored people, and shows no distinction in dealing with men. A man is a man with him regardless of race, or color. Mr. Rozell has always voted the Republican ticket. The colored voters will make no mistake in casting their votes for such a man. If Mr. Rozell is nominated, Franklin county will have a sheriff second to none in the state and the colored people will be given fair and courteous treatment; therefore let us go to the polls for Mr. Rozell. WHAT IS THE MATTER It is a historical fact that the economic, social, political and moral conditions are the moulding influence of any community which either tends to retard its progress or lends carrying force to it. All of the above conditions are noticeably favorable yet there is something radically wrong with the local business situation. There exists in Topeka among our people a "selfish individualism" each person or family for himself, struggling in competition seems to be a fad. Have we one business enterprise that we can point to with pride (as other cities boast of) and say "that" man has one of the finest businesses of its kind in this section of the country? He has a large patronage, "he" is the pride of our city. This can't be said because the rank and title of the Negroes are disloyal to their race. They are more prejudiced than their white brother. The colored people of Topeka spend over $8,000 a week for provisions. Colored merchants get about 10 per cent of this business, while his white competitors get 90 per cent. Why does our colored patrons stroll one or two blocks to a white merchant for the same goods he can get at his own store? Colored merchants strive to be up-to-date to meet their white competitor. He has instituted credit and cut price stores and gives splendid service. Are they loyally supported? NO! Our people are too prejudiced! Why should our people go back to "just before the war" times," "I must deal wid de sheet causes de black man am treacherous." These ideas and practices are carried forth in Topeka by highly intelligent people. We have a colored theatre! Is it well patronized? No! Then why? Because our people are still showing prejudice. They would rather go to a white theatre and accept three rows of "Jim Crow" seats than go to the colored theatre with electric fans, suitable seats of your own choice and splendid usher service. Feature pictures which cost at least over $100 per week are run to please its patrons, but it gets scanty support. What is he reason? Prejudice! The elite of Topeka has a swell function, invitations are sent to out-of-town guests. They use hundreds of invitations. Who prints these invitations? White printers of course. After the function is over they want a big newspaper write up, Does the white paper write them up? NO, not on your life! They appeal to the colored paper for advertising gratis (isn't this nerve?) nevertheless their job printing can't be done satisfactorily by our colored printers. Another evidence of prejudice! The persecuted Jews hung together under strenuous difficulties and defied the world. The Germans by their strict adhearance to the Fatherland and Germany today is the greatest world power of modern ages! Likewise can the Negro race by laying down their prejudice; by striving to help his brother Negro, not by his talk but by his dollars which he spends with white concerns every day would strengthen the race. If we would make "Help the Negro First" our race slogan in a few years the results would be a proud asset to the race, in the way of some flourishing business which Price $1.50 Per Year. would supply the need that our graduates are demanding that are turned out from the schools every year with no employment in view but some cook kitchen or street job A. SUBSCRIBER D. R. Anthony Investigates! Kansas Congressman Probes Into Case of Discharged Negro Soldiers. Congressman Dan R. Anthony is always on the job, and doing things not only for the First district but the state and nation. We wrote Mr. Anthony several days ago in regard to the following clipping from The New York Sun which explains itself, asking him to inform us why only fourteen of the one hundred and sixty soldiers discharged without honor were restored. Our faithful Congressman got busy immediately and checked the matter up to the adjutant general of the War Department and his reply which was forwarded to us by Mr. Anthony is published, below: Colored Soldiers Restored. It has been well said that "Justice may sleep, but never dies." This is emphasized by the elimination from the records of the dishonorable discharge and the restoration to the roster of the United States Army, with full back pay, to fourteen of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, alleged to have been implicated in the shooting-up' of Brownsville, Texas. The innocent were punished with the alleged guilty. Although only about a dozen concerned in the affair, about one hundred and sixty of them were dismissed from the service in 1906. Ten years afterwards, when nearly one hundred of their comrades had offered up themselves in Mexico, these fourteen men have been restored to the service. --- The following is the answer to our inquery which Congressman Anthony received from the adjutant general of the War Department. the letter says: House of Representatives. Dear Sir: Referring to your letter of the 8th instant, in which you state that you have seen a statement to the effect that fourteen members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry implicated in the shooting-up of Brownville, Texas, have been restored to service with full back pay, and referring also to your request to be advised whether or not this is true, and if true, why only fourteen were restored instead of the entire number. I have the honor to inform you as follows: Under the provisions of an act of Congress approved March 3, 1909, a court of inquiry was appointed to determine what enlisted men, if any of companies B, C, and D, Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were discharged from the military service of the United States because of participation of those organizations in the riotous disturbance at Brownsville, Texas, on August 13, 1906, were qualified for re-enlistment. The court convened May 4, 1909, and adjourned April 6, 1910, and, as a result of its investigations, it reported that fourteen men of the companies mentioned had been found eligible for re-enlistment and those fourteen were accordingly re-enlisted, and thirteen of the re-enlisted men were paid from the date of their discharge until the date of receipt by them of the notice of their eligibility to re-enlist. The fourteenth man (Lewis J. Baker), company C, Twenty-fifth Infantry, did not receive full pay as he did not re-enlist within the prescribed three months from the date of receipt by him of his eligibility for re-enlistment. The proceedings of the court are published in twelve volumes, Senate Document 701, 61st Congress, 3d Session, and this document is doubtless readily accessible to you. MONEY FOR SLAVES WHO RAISED COTTONI Hon. Cornellus J. Jones, chief counsel for the cotton tax, claimants, and whose headquarters is at 388% Beale street, Memphis, Tenn. addressed a fine, intelligent audience at Mt. Olive M. E. church, Twelfth and Buchanan, last Monday evening. Lawyer Jones has proven himself to be a man of great legal talent and should be commended, as he is a man who has devoted his time and interests to looking up things that are not only helpful to his race, but to the white people of this country. If he is successful in winning this case, which is before the Court of Appeals at Washington, he will succeed in distributing $68,000,000 between about 700,000 to 1,000,000 people. For generations white lawyers and business men have lived around Washington and secured millions of dollars for various states and litigants who had claims against the government, and this is the first time in the history of this country that a colored man has had the courage and ability to tackle a proposition of this kind, by which the race is entitled to a considerable sum of money that has been heard up in the treasury of years. This money was made by the labor of colored people who were forced to do this work, which was contrary to law and human rights. But in the cotton growing states they were compelled to produce this cotton, and the government taxed the cotton, from which these millions of dollars were accumulated, and, as it was all from the labor of the colored people, Mr. Jones contends that so long as the colored people produced this cotton the money at Washington legally belongs to them and no one else has a right to it. Anyone who can establish a rightful claim to this money is allowed to join the roll of claimants by paying $1.75, which goes to help defray the expense of prosecution. Mr. Jones says that anyone who can prove a claim may join the organization and assist in carrying out this legal battle. His address is given elsewhere in this write-up. Mr. Jones claims that when the Declaration of Independence was written it made all men free and equal, and that included the colored man; that from George Washington down no president had the courage to enforce this declaration until Lincoln became president; that it required no law to release these slaves for the reason that they were not slaves from a legal standpoint. The Plaindealer would be glad to see this suit won by the ex-cotton growers, as the colored people worked in the Southland without any remuneration whatever, and it is now high time that something be done for them, and the courts could do no better thing than to decide this in their favor. A PUZZLE. We have tried to comprehend the actions of the American white people for many years and the more we study, the situation the more perplexing it grows. Down in Mexico the other day members of the famous Tenth Cavalry mixed in battle with the Mexi-cap soldiers and a number of them were killed and several captured. When the prisoners were released and returned to the United States it so happened that they landed at El Paso, which is in Texas. If these black boys had came direct from the portals of glory no greater honor could have been bestowed them than was thrust upon them by these Texans, who, heretofore, would have had their eyes plucked out rather than look upon a Negro as a man. Then, when the dead were brought in there were thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of flowers to be placed upon the caskets of these black heroes. If these bodies had been of the white Texas Rangers no more honor could or would have been bestowed upon them by these Texans. We admit that these two incidents are puzzles to us and we can't understand that if a little heroism in the time of trouble can banish prejudice and race hatred from the hearts of white men, why good behaviour, honest living, upright striving for better things in this world cannot move the whites to lay down all opposition to the Negro's advancement and lend a helping hand to encourage us onward?

Your scribe reached Jefferson City on a train, that seemingly one-half of its time didn't care whether it ran in the Missouri river or not, but we struck the Capital of Missouri right side up and soon discovered that if we hoped to "make good," we had to be a hill climber of no small proportions. Beuville sent an aggregation of colored base ball tossers over on the Lord's day to be trimmed to the tune of 6 to 8. About the first thing we did on showing up was to make it to some eating place to pull up slack, and before we knew it we were in the Silver Moon Cafe, a high-class place owned and conducted for both white and colored trade by Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stokes. The scribe is no amateur at knowing good cooking, and we soon discovered that we hit the right place at the right time. These splendid people cook right and the service is away out of reach of criticism. The white side is patronized more than our side and there are more white sleepers. Mr. Stokes figures it out that service will, to a very large degree, pull down the bars of prejudice. We soon pulled ourselves together and hiked out to the house of worship where Bro. Goins has fed the Baptist flock spiritual food for many seasons; these people had just "pulled off" a basket dinner, and had spent the entire day at church, and while there were only a few out, they seemed to have enjoyed the day. We had our favorite speech in our pocket, but Rev. Goins didn't let us say "nary word." That eminent young colored physicist, whose lately hung out his shingle at Jefferson City, took the "old timer" in hand and pulled him over a dozen hills that the Alpine soldiers would have frowned on but scattered here and there, we found many beautiful colored homes—not a few modern brick homes, and a congenial citizenship. Dr. Moore didn't have to work overtime to convince us that he is not only an eduzen who has traveled extensively, and zen who has traveled extensively, and figures it out that its his indispensable duty to make a stranger feel at home in his city. He has opened modern offices in the Masonic temple, a three story brick structure, that is a credit indeed to the colored Masons, worth possibly $15,000.00. About the greatest thing the state of Missouri ever done for the colored race, was the establishment of "Lincoln Institute, a magnificent institution of learning, from which scores of Negro young men and Ne gro young women have received the finishing touches for life's duties and of which that scholarly man, Prof. B. F. Allen is the able president, and who fits the job "jam up." We had intended to give a page write-up of Lincoln, but Mr. Allen being in New York, we put it off for another day. There are about one-half dozen modern brick structures, more than twenty instructors with a yearly enrollment of five hundred. Prof. Allen has surrounded himself with an able faculty, and doing a world of good. Spiritual food is served from four different churches—the Baptist, the Christian, the A. M. E. Zion and A. M. E. churches are doing business at the old stand, and the men pastoring them will compare favorable with those in other Missouri towns. Somehow the colored man finds excuses to stay away from the church, and in Jefferson City, a great many have "dug up" excuses that they think justifies them in boycotting the house of the Lord, however, this is a mistaken idea. The educational interest is O. K., and we are able to boast of a brick building, and Prof. Anthony and his assistants are holy terrors to ignorance. One of the institutions that appealed to us is he "Old Folks' Home" a two-story brick, where the old members of the race find shelter, and are cared for when they become "Old and Only in the Way." Mrs. Murry, wife of Prof. Murry, is the main spoke in the wheel, and deserves the praise and co-operation of the entire race. Now, the Jefferson City folks are a progressive set and are history makers. The state's official family from Gov. Majors down are there and then too, that other state institution—the penitentiary is there and of course its a well patronized "affair." Among the good colored homes will be found that of Mr. C. B. Lane, who holds a position at the state capital. His very accomplished wife, who is a Lincolnite, is a part of the faculty at the Industrial Home for colored girls, located at Tipton, Mo., and which is supported by the state. A son, who also completed his education at Lincoln, is a teacher at Nelson, Mo., but through the summer holds a position with the Pullman company. Miss Marguritte, also a Lincolnite, is one of the popular teachers at Warrensburg, Mo. This is a truly representative family and strong factors in race elevation. They have valuable property, and we found a warm welcome at the Lane residence.

The story hour at the A. M. E. church Saturday afternoon was something new in the way of Sunday school work and the children enjoyed it very much. Mrs. Carrie Kerford the superintendent is working hard to bring her school up to the standard. The ladies seemed to vie with each other in trying to make Miss Ora Carter's stay a pleasant one. Miss Effie Pennison entertained at their beautiful home west of Forest park with a dancing party for Miss Carter and Mrs. Mayme Mims and Mrs. John Guthrie with an airdome party. The ladies all proved themselves fine entertainers as everyone reports a very pleasant time.

The colored churches of the town united Sunday afternoon in a mass meeting at the Moneta theatre. The theatre was well filled with people of both races. The Rev. Culpepper of the M. E. church delivered the principal address, which was very well received. Moore's famous Mrs. C. O. Rutledge. She has a grocery, ice cream parlor and cafe, and is strivng to make her place one of the best in the town. She owns the two-story brick business house in which she conducts her business. For a number of years her husband, Prof. Rutledge was connected with Lincoln Institute as a teacher of mathematics. We are glad to see our women in business, and trust the race will make Mrs. Rutledge's undertaking a success. Mr. J. O. Clay is conducting a well-stocked grocery at Jefferson City, Mo., and enjoys a nice trade. He is assisted by Miss Eliza Ramsey. The race should see to it that this enterprise is made a success. We decided to turn the interest of The Plaindealer over to that brilliant physician of the race, Dr. I. E. Moore, who has modern offices in the Masonic temple. He will not only relieve you of pains, etc., but will be pleased to note the doings of the race at Jefferson City. See this man of our race. We were also pleased to meet Mrs. Diggs, wife of Mr. Duke Diggs, who seemingly has a monopoly on the transfer business, having ten fine horses, five big truck vans and a home to be compared with the best in Missouri or elsewhere. We also met Mr. Renovalona, who is a politician and legal writer who seems to know his business. Mr. Rankin owns a fine home and is running a taxi line with office in a white hotel. Mr. King also owns a fine home and has a fine family of ten. One of his daughters, Mias Floyd, is a graduate of Lincoln Institute and a teacher in the public schools. We found Rev. J. C. Bell, better known as the church builder of the West and his accomplished wife piloting the A. M. E. church. This church under his administration can boast of one of the most modern parsonages in the West. We met Prof. R. West, who is secretary to President Allen. Prof. West is quite a brilliant young man and is master of the Masonic lodge, and treasurer of the U. B. F. order. The following are some of the professors we met: Rose, of Virginia; Sharp of New Jersey; and Collens, formerly of Lexington. We are proud of Dr. Moore because we know he will make good. He is a graduate of the University of West Tennessee, and spent one year in the Baptist hospital. He is a U. B. F. and we found that he gives attention to the distress sign. He will soon be a Mason. We hope he will be able to place The Plaindealer in every home. See him and his modern office that is a boost for Jefferson City.

Knights and Daughters of Tabor, I. O. T., Hold Grand Session in the "Peerless Princess." The greatest session in the history of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor was held at Wichita last week commencing Tuesday and closing on Friday, with a grand entertainment and installation of grand officers and an exhibition drill by the drill team of Parsons, and the little Tent boys of Newton. This was the twenty-fifth annual session and was celebrated under the name of Jubilee Session. The following grand officers were present: Mr. Harrold then proceeded to tell some details of the great work performed by Dtr. Emma Galnes, C. G. P., and the noble work done by this queenly lady who has accomplished so much to better the women's department and to assist the Grand Mentor. She was presented with a silver loving cup lined with gold and also engraved with words of love and affection from the members. This cup was very beautiful, costing about $40. She responded in a few Sir Frank Wilson, C. G. M., Dtr. Emara Gaines, C. G. P., Sir A. M. Harrold, V. G. M., Dtr. Ida Wallace, V. G. P., Sir A. W. Hopkins, C. G. B., Dtr. Sara Williams Forbes, C. G. A., Sir J. G. Burdette, C. G. T., Sir G. M. Johnson, G. P. P., Dtr. Benie Hall, G. Q. M., Sir Rev. M. Wooten, C. G. P., Dtr. Pauline Woodfork, C. G. Pr. A recaptism was held on Tuesday evening at the court house, Dr. G. G. Brown acted as master of ceremonies. After several songs and papers the welcome address was made by Mayor Bentley, of the city of Wichita. He welcomed the visitors and assured them that his sympathy was not only with the order but with the entire colored race and that he was glad to see them progressing. Mayor Bentley is an official that the colored people can be proud of. When he makes an address on the part of the city he means every word he says. He did not side-step to show the visitors they were welcome to the hospitalities of the city. This session was one of the most harmonious ever held—not a false word was spoken or a point of order raised or any new laws enacted. All were satisfied and highly elated over the Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Frank Wilson, who has served in that position for twenty-five years and he has brought them from the land of Egypt and placed them on a mountain where they can see everything clean and clear and they are content that he be the law without making new ones; in other words they knew he would carry out the laws they already had and that would be sufficient. After reports from the different Tabernacles, Temples Tombs and Palatiums and reports from grand officers and election there was nothing to do but pass resolutions and eulogies and, speak of the good things and condition of the order. The Memorial sermon was delivered by the Chief Grand Orator, Rev. Woolen at Saint Paul A. M. E. church of which Rev. Williams is pastor. This was held Thursday at 1:00 o'clock and the ceremony was very impressive. There were over thirty-one deaths reported and it was a source of pleasure to hear the different representatives culogise the moris of the deceased members. The manual sermon was preached on Wednesday by the Grand Chief Orator at St. Paul A. M. E. church. Music was furnished by Saint Paul choir. In this sermon Rev. Wooten pointed out the great good derived from living a Christian life and that it was through that means that the Knights and Daughters of Tabor had made such wonderful success. The greatest excitement of the session was on Thursday evening when the concert was given by the Tabernacle bands of Wichita, after which a greet surprise was given four of the grand officers. Sir A. M. Harrold, V. G. M., of Omaha, Nebr., in a few well chosen remarks concerning the efficiency and great work of Chief Grand Mentor Rev, Sir Frank Wilson, how through his hard struggles the order had grown to be one of the foremost in the country and that he had spent his own money to pay off death claims to establish the order. The Chief Grand Mentor was then invited to the restrum and Sir Harrold presented him with a large silver, gold lined loving cup from the members of the Grand Order for which he so nobly worked to make a success. This gift was kept a secret and was started at the Grand Session last year. The cup cost about $65 and is a beautiful silver trophy and to which the Chief Grand Mentor very fervently expressed his gratitude although he was somewhat emotional and overcome by tears to know that he had been remembered by such a cozy and handsome token. Said he was proud to know that he had lived so as to merit such and that he prided it as much as anything that had been given him or would be given him during his life. Mr. Harrold then proceeded to tell some details of the great work performed by Dtr. Emma Gaines, C. G. P., and the noble work done by this queenly lady who has accomplished so much to better the women's department and to assist the Grand Mentor. She was presented with a silver loving cup lined with gold and also engraved with words of love and affection from the members. This cup was very beautiful, costing about $40. She responded in a few remarks by saying she had always felt she had many friends and they had proven the high esteem with which they held her and that she would take the cup and treasure it and pass it down to future generations. Sir A. W. Hopkins was presented with a gold fountain pen and Dtr. Sarah Williams Forbes, C. G. R., was presented with a fine beautiful quilt, one of the most handsome quilts we have seen for years. She has served in the present office for twenty years and is a lady who attends strictly to business. Mr. Hopkins has served as Grand Scribe for the past twenty-five years and is the right hand support of the Chief Grand Mentor, is a Christian gentleman and a hard worker and is very cautious and particular about issuing orders on the treasury and has never had to account for a mistake in all these years. He is painstaking, and his books are always open for inspection. From the present indications the present officers will remain in their positions so long as they continue their good work. On Friday was the grand parade through the business portions of Wichita on North Main street to Douglas and countermarched to the city park. They were headed by one mounted policeman and the Grand Marshal and the Taborian band of Topeka and the Morton Palatium guards of Parsons under Captain Jones. There were over one hundred children of the Tent Houses in motor cars with flags and uniforms under the care of the Queen Mothers; then came the Chief Grand Mentor and Chief Grand Preceptress in an automobile with Mayor Bentley. There were over forty automobiles in the parade and all were filled. The parade was an imposing sight. Sir A. F. Wilson, of Kansas City, performed the installation ceremony which followed. Mr. Wilson is a man who has much dignity and pomp. A vote of thanks was tendered Mayor Bentley, the Tabernacles, Temples and Tents of Wichita for the entertainment given the visitors and delegates while in their city, The order is in a splendid financial condition having expended during the past year over 13,000 and have something over $7,000 in the treasury. Money has been loaned out and expended on the Taborian home at Topeka. The individual Tents and Tabernacles own something over $100,000 worth of property in the jurisdiction. All death claims have been paid within ten to thirty days after receiving proof of same. A gloom was cast over the session caused by the absence of the late Sir William Core and wife, who were both present at the grand session at Salina last year, but have since been called to their reward. Sir William Core was Chief Grand Treasurer for twenty-five years and was beloved by all. A resolution of sympathy was passed. The session adjourned to meet at Omaha, in 1917. At the conclusion of the drill two ladies were called forward and presented with money due them from deceased relatives. The money was counted to see that it was real money and that none was missing and was then presented to the two beneficiaries. Captain Jones of the Palatine guards was then called and presented with $150 which was the amount offered as a prize for the best drill team. Great enthusiasm was caused by the Taborian band of Topeka which was composed of a fine class of young men in their beautiful uniforms and promises to be one of the best bands in the state. Chief Grand Mentor Wilson was overcome by the heat and was quite ill for a few hours. He was attended by Dr. Grant G. Brown, who served the members of the grand session free of charge and there were over fifteen people sick during the session. Much credit and praise is due the Knights and Daughters of Tabor for the work done and the good accomplished and this session will go down in history as one of the greatest ever held in Kansas or elsewhere. The Topeka Plaindealer was made the official organ and all Tabernacles, Temples and Tants will take notice and send in their $1.50 for subscription and $1.50 for a place in the official directory if they so desire.

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 a few Mexicans, who are employed on the railroad and in the smelters. There is a Mexican restaurant located in the 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 rough-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 rough-necks and no respectable colored or white people fared very well at their hands, but with the coming of schools and Christian civilization on the ascendency 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 Liberal, Kansas, where he first received his instructions how to perform laborious work on the farm, and he says from experience he P. knows the needs of farmers and stock raisers of that district, and this is the kind of men who are wanted in the senate. He is a friend of the laboring men and they have recently organized a "Wark for Senator Club." Mr. Wark is a graduate of K. U. law department and was admitted to practice law by the Supreme court in 1903. He located at Caney, 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 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 legislature 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. BROWN'S CHAPEL NOTES. Brown's Chapel is moving on very nicely with Rev. T. W. Greene and his cabinet. We can easily sing "Our Church is Moving On." We are putting forth every effort possible to make our church second to none in the Topeka district. July first, the pastor and trustees planned a rally for the third Sunday. After they selected ten candidates to solicit funds for the rally, there were two prizes offered—the first prize being a handsome mission rocker made by the skilful hands of our pastor. The second prize was a very nice willow rocker. Sunday, July sixteenth our pastor preached a very able sermon and lifted a good collection. At 3 o'clock p. m., Rev. J. C. Hicks, of Langaton, Okla., delivered the message. Rev. Hicks has been transferred from the Oklahoma conference to the Kansas conference. At 8 o'clock our pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon and the collection was taken. Now we are to the winding up of our day's work. Each candidate that was soliciting was called to the front to whisper in the pastor's ear what they had raised. When he had all, he read from the smallest to the largest. Mrs. Luella Johnson Clarke of Lane's Chapel, C. M. E. church was awarded the first prize. Amount raised, $47.49. Mr. I. S. Donlly was awarded the second prize, amount raised being $23.15. We wish to thank each and every one that helps us in this rally, especially Mrs. Clarke for her labor. The total amount raised by Sunday night was $109.14, with some cards not yet reported. Our church is getting along just fine both spiritually and financially. The Womans' Mite Missionary society gave a very good supper at our church Tuesday night, which was a great success financially. A beautiful quilt made by our pastor's wife and quilted by some of the W. M. m. was a beautiful piece of work. It was to be given to the one holding the lucky number. The numbers were on the supper tickets which were placed in a hat, shook up and little Merritt Gordan, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Moss was asked to pick out a number which was twenty-one. Mr. Guy Douglas held the corresponding number received the quilt and Master Gordan was congratulated for his skillful work. Every auxiliary of the church is in good working order. We have organized a Junior Endeavor. Mrs. Washington is superintendent and she is sparing no pains to make it a success, and if she can get the cooperation of both parent and Sunday school teacher, we will have a good Send your name and address in at once to the Committee on Homes, care of Rev.J.

Join in with us that have been stigmatized as "little unknown Baptists." There will be thousands in attendance. Every accommodation that can be afforded a visiting organization will be arranged by the people of Kansas City.

Jarrett of Weaver 1 General Funston Appeals to San Antonio in Behalf of the Guardsmen. Below is a clipping from the daily press dispatches. Gen. Funston has made an appeal to the citizens of San Antonio to aid in preventing trouble between the colored soldiers and civilians. We want to say for the benefit of General Funston and the civilians that if they would attend to their business, the Eighth Illinois will do likewise, but if they intend to encroach upon the rights of these soldiers and treat them like dogs, all Gen. Funston needs to do is to allow them forty rounds of ammunition and guns and they will protect themselves against Negro haters. We are sorry the general has to make such a request for colored soldiers because the lower element in the South is allowed to override law and decency, especially when it comes to colored people. These colored soldiers are representatives of the government to protect the citizens of Texas, and if they have not pride or respect enough to give these soldiers the treatment that is due them, they should be driven from Texas into Mexico and into the jaws of hell of Villa and his crowd. San Antonio, Tex., July 6.—General Funston today appealed to the citizens of San Antonio to aid in preventing trouble between the Illinois Negro militia regiment here and civilians. He said he had no fear from the better element, but that "roughnecks and rowdies might try to start something with the colored troops." The officers of Negro guardsmen have been instructed regarding Texas laws applying to blacks. STERLING, KANSAJ.

The "Negro Tenth," they called them, in mockery and disdain. And likened them to peacocks the strutting bird sq vain But when it came to battle, they placed them in the front; Like dumb and sullen cattle to bear the battle's brunt. They sent them to the border, to guard the U. S. line, And keep the peace and order, due countries maritime; And when it came to being before the cannon's mouth, They went down all unseeing the hell fire in the South. And so the Tenth is gone, and the battles that they fought, And the brave deeds they have done and the order that they wrought Will live in the minds of the Negro, in the years that are to come, And no more shall we hear the echo of the guns that ever should be dumb. For God made all races and he made them all the same, But abuse that is heaped on the faces of the Negro is Amarica's shame; They called them the Negro Tenth, in the days of peaceful life, But they had to lead the masses when it came to grim war's strife. Will the "Tenth's" annihilation, and the brave death that it stood, Heighten us in the eyes of the nation or will it do any good? Can any beast or cattle or is any man so vain, That will face the big gun's rattle and charge and charge again. For every man that died today on Mexico's sod, Has earned a place of eternity besides the throne of God. Wo honor thee, thou soldier brave and we hope forever and e'er, To keep the grasses on your graves, green as the mourner's share! —ROSCOE CHAS. EARL. Tulsa, Okla. NEWTON, KANSAS. The funeral of Mr. Lewis Underwood, who died very suddenly last Tuesday night, was held from the Second Baptist church, Rev. W. H. H. Garnett officiating.

Mrs. Frak Weston and two children, Beulah and Frank, Jr., cousins of Louis Underwood, attended the funeral Wednesday. Mrs. George Brown returned from a trip to Kansas City. She reports a nice visit. The C. M. E. District conference which convened here the 11th to 16th inclusive was a great success spiritually and financially, this being the first for our new presiding elder, Rev. T. A. Bowers to preside over. Bishop Jamison appeared on the scene Friday, this being his first visit to Newton and expressed himself as being very favorably impressed with the work at this charge. The sermons delivered by different pastors were simply ground, but on Sunday there was a penticostial shower. The Bishop preached at 11 a. m., and his sermon was a masterpiece. Rev. Dr. Lowe, of Topeka, preached a soul stirring sermon at 3 p. m., and Rev. McGee of Leavenworth preached at 8 p. m. It seemed that each one tried to out do the other. These men were surely called to do the work of the Master. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. French left July 17th for a month's stay in the mountains of Colorado. Mrs. S. A.

E. church was held July 15, with Rev. T. N. Hays, presiding elder. At 11 o'clock the presiding elder introduced Rev. T. M. Greene, B. D., of Hattiesburg, Miss., as the pastor, having been transferred to Oklahoma to take charge of this work. Rev. Greene preached a soul-stirring sermon to a large and appreciative audience, after which sacrament was given. At night a large audience was present, and Presiding Elder Hays filled the pulpit, all were made to feel that it was good to be under the sound of his voice. The Presiding Elder spoke very commendable of Rev. Greene as a young man, but one with much experience as a worker, both in the school room and the church, from past success it is evident that he is not a "quitter" anywhere below success, for coming three and one-half months before the annual conference, the situation bids fair for a successful report. Rev. Greene has been with us only five days, all reports were made and the finance committee collected enough money to pay the entire assessment and to leave some in the treasury. The new minister has begun to make things go. He has great confidence in his members, who are rallying to his aid. Plans are in operation for the mid-summer rally, ending the third Sunday in August.
