Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Historical Society State House Eighteenth Year. No. 45 ECHOES FROM THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES the minister of the gospel is not going to be an example for the people in helping them to see the right, he ought to be made an example of by being sent to prison when he takes the liberty to sell the votes of the members of his congregation. If the ministers and educational leaders are not going to be examples in upholding the principle and integrity of the race, what are they to expect of the great mass of people they are to teach? The public should know who such leaders are, and they should be dealt with in the manner in which they deserve to be. The Negro race has been made a cats-paw of too long now, for the Democratic patty, and a few Negro scoundrels and traitors parading in the guise of ministers of God and educational leaders.

A color scheme was very (By Dennis S. Thompson, Betchel Kansas.) A musician playing for some friends at a picnic stopped after each selection and tuned his violin. The damp night air caused the strings of the violin to stretch and often before a selection could be finished the instrument was noticeably flat, and finally with an apology he gave up the attempt, saying: "It's no use to try to play tongtight; the violin just won't stay in tune." We come in contact with so many people who are suggestive of this violin. When they are on the "mountain's top" they are very good company, but it takes constant effort to keep them in tune; someone must be always tightening the strings. A little criticism, some little disappointment or a cloudy day when they wanted sunshine is enough to make them irritable and impatient, after which the music becomes discord. Musical instruments need tuning every once in awhile, but should it become necessary to tune a piano several times in the course of an evening there is no doubt but that music would soon lose its charms for many of us. Everybody needs a change occasionally, or to get a rest, or to recover in some way the poise and serenity which inevitably wears off in the friction of life. But the people who must continually be coared and soothed and potted, in order to keep them in tune, are not apt to add very much to the world's music. --- Every person should have pleasure in the smaller things of life, and if you cannot enjoy yourself without some great excitement, if trifles are overlooked in your eagerness to have a good time, your future outlook is poor indeed. The real joy of life does not come from its great moments. It is the sum of countless little satisfactions. The pleasures we take in sunset and bird songs, in the happy laughter of children, in doing little kindnesses, in the consciousness of a day's work well done—these are things that make life glad. --- When we think of our debt to our work, we are very likely to begin and end with the fact that it gives us a livelihood. To our work we owe food and clothing, shelter and fire. But when these items have been enumerated, we have only made a beginning. Our work is our most constant companion. It absorbs our energies, probably one-half of our waking hours, and much of the rest of the time we are thinking over what we have done and looking forward to what we have to do. There are few things which exert such an influence on our lives as our work. Through it we learn method and concentration. We learn faithfulness to a routine. Work has a big share in making us what we are. But, big as is our debt to our work, we might easily make it greater. If we put the best of ourselves into all that we did, if we dealt with each task as it came as if it were the pivot on which our future fortunes depended, what possibilities of development we should find in our work! To what heights it would lift us, and how abundant would be its reward! Apropos, the election is over, and the country by reason of the inability of a great many to use sound judgment in voting, and through the weakness of others, like Esau, in choosing "belly for their God," must settle down to another four years of Democratic inefficiency and extravagance. The old adage of "marrying in haste and repenting at leisure" applies well in this instance. If the American people after three and one-half years of the blunders of the Wilson administration, are content to pin their faith to the Democratic party, well and good; they will have ample time for reflection and repentance. The Negro race that has been buncoed and "jim-crowed" and segregated by the Wilton administration was willing to give the President another hearty endorsement, just because the Democratic party was willing to pay two and three dollars per head for their votes. It is a and spectacle to see Negro leaders, and more especially ministers of the gospel, selling out their entire congregations simply for a very small mass of political "potage"; it is a disgrace to our civilization, and the people should not stand for it. No man can control another man's vote, and the minister that says he can control the votes of his congregation and sells them for five or ten dollars is a llar, and a thief, and should be sent to the penitentiary along with the bank robber, the house thief and the chicken thief. The time for action has arrived. If It is time to turn the rascals out. LA CYGNE, KAN. ELWOOD, KANSAS. ATCHISON, KANSAS.

What Fools We Mortals Be.—Our attention was called to an incident that happened during the recent campaign, and four Negroes were prominent characters in the affair. The story runs thus: The Democratic campaigners and candidates were touring Franklin county holding meetings. With them was a colored quartette for the purpose of entertaining the crowds as there was but little interest in the meetings. Dinner time caught the party at one of Franklin county's little burgs. The white men, like English lords, filed into the dining room of a little chop house to refresh their worried and exhausted bodies, and the colored entertainers were, for a while, forgotten. Finally one man, who was a candidate for the legislature, came out, called the colored quartette to him and as orderly as though he was lending a gang of dogs, he took them through the back yard into the kitchen to be fed. All of the Negroes except one removed their hats and did obedience to the hospitality of the kitchen crew, the candidate, whom they were laboring to place in office made his exit into the dining room to join the gang. One of the colored men resented the insult, with the remark that he did not eat in the kitchen at his home, while the other three Negroes filled their bellies with "Crow" pudding and segregation sauce. What fools we mortals be? I wonder when the males of my race will become men and esteem themselves as such? The above mentioned candidate was elected a member of the legislature, and it does not take a prophet to tell the course he will take when Jim Crow and segregation bills are checked up to him. Men of my race, we cannot afford to support nothing but men who are friends to us and believe that out of one blood God made all nations of the earth. Rev. P. C.

We want it strictly understood that the Plaindealer does not concede the election of Wilson to be the popular choice of this country, owing to the fact that the colored voters of the South, especially in Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia, are disfranchised and not allowed to exercise their right, and it is through the Democratic party that this is made possible, and as Wilson is a Southern Democrat we cannot for a moment concede that he had the popular vote. We hope the colored people throughout the country will use this as a slogan, that Hon. Charles Hughes was rightfully elected if the entire American citizens were allowed to exercise the right of franchise, but it is the policy of the Democrats in some parts of this country not to allow this, therefore we are compelled to say that Wilson fell short of the election, but we predict the nomination and election of Hughes in 1920, as Mr. Wilson will not cope with the present condition of things. OBITUARY. We are in receipt of the sad news of the death of Mrs. Esther Williams, who died Monday, October 24, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred P. Romare, in Joplin, Mo. She was born in Chester, S.

FISK JUBILER SINGERS; Judging from the hearty applause and the evident thorough enjoyment by nearly everyone in the audience, the Fisk Jubilee singers scored a decided hit in their appearance at the Second Baptist church Wednesday evening. From the opening number to the very last appearance each rendition was followed by an ovation that is given only when the hearers are thoroughly pleased. The Fisk Jubilee singers are indeed high-class artists and possess in a remarkable degree the faculty of injecting into their songs the feelings and emotions to which they (the songs) owe their orgin. The Fisk singers are true jubilee singers. With the exception of Bureighl's "Just Because," so plausibly sung by Mrs. Jennie Hicks Le Noir, every vocal number was from that rich heritage of plantation melodies of which we ought all be proud and never be ashamed. Ordinarily in concerts of a similar nature some numbers stand out, above all the rest. But this was not true of the Fisk concert. One would be at his wits ends to pick out the most pleasing numbers for the singers sang each song as though it were the feature number of the evening. Mr. J. A. Meyers, the tenor sang with wonderful soulfulness the male leads and Mrs. Le Noir sang equally as well the soprano leads. Mrs. Meyers, the alto singer is probably as fine an alto as has ever appeared here. And the rich sonorous bass of Mr. Lemuel Foster excited the admiration of everybody. It is not often that one hears a bass singer whose voice is unusually low and at the same time melodious and rich in overtones. Mr. Meyers' readings from Paul Laurence Dunbar were most artistic indeed, and he possesses the happy faculty of losing himself completely in his reciting; some how, he knows just how to bring out that fine sense of happy humor with which the colored race is so richly endowed, and in the more pathetic selections he almost touches one's own heartstrings. Such concerts as this by the Fisk singers are doing a wonderful work in reviving the sorrow songs of the days before the war and are opening the minds of the present day generation to a fuller appreciation of the only truly American music. The Fisk singers are not on a pecuniary mission for their own personal interests. They are traveling to help raise funds for Fisk University, one of the oldest and best schools of higher education for colored boys and girls. And wherever they are appearing they are making a strong appeal in behalf of their plimm mater. Here's hoping that they will everywhere meet with success and that this our city will again be favored with a visit by them. Rev. T. L. Griffith is to be congratulated for having secured their services. Read THE PLAINDEALER and keep up with the times. TOPEKAS FIRST COLOR LICENSED EMBAIMER G. W. HAMILTON.

The Business Men's League of Topeka has entered upon a vigorous campaign to inspire colored people to engage in business and also to patronize such business and to try and open up positions among the merchants where colored people trade. Speakers have been assigned to the various churches for Sunday, November 26, to present the various propositions for this matter. It is time the colored people were aroused to their sense of duty and not let the business slip from them, as has been done in the last few years in Topeka. PRUDENTIAL Casualty Co.

U. held a very interesting session last Sunday afternoon at the Second Baptist church, Third and Quincy. The principal features of the program were a paper, "Who Will Do It?", by Miss Tressa Penman, which was a literary gem; a short talk by Mrs. Frances B. Watson of nansas City, which was much enjoyed, and a solo by Miss Anna Griffith, "Does Jesus Care?", which brought tears to the eyes of many. Mrs. W. W. Ewing presided. The Shiloh B. Y. P. U., Mr. R. G. Campbell, president, certainly made a hit with the Topeka music lovers when the services of Mrs. D. A. Holmes, the sweet singer of Kansas City, was engaged for this city. She sang at Shiloh Thursday night and completely captured the hearts of her hearers. Anytime that Mrs. Holmes is again announced for Topeka many will be the glad hearts. None of the singers who have visited Topeka have the best of Mrs. Holmes in singing. MRS. IDA WELLS BARSETT. We wish to say that one of the best speeches that was heard in Topeka or the state of Kansas during the last campaign was that of Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago, Ill. She was sent out under the auspices of the Women's Bureau of Speakers. She spoke to several hundred people at Mt. Olive M. E. church and held her audience spellbound for almost an hour. The meeting was under the direction of the Women's Local League of this city. Mrs. John Page president, which club turned out in a body and at the conclusion of the speech presented Mrs. Barnett with a beautiful bouquet of roses. The message delivered was inspiring and elevating and she showed how that in Chicago the women became interested and active in politics and it was through their efforts that the colored men were recognized for offices. Prof. Carter Entertains Probably the most delightful part of the visiting teachers' stay in Topeka was the visit to the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, where they were shown the entire campus and equipment of the school and then served an excellent banquet. Prof. Carter and his assistants deserve the highest praise for the magnificent treat they gave the teachers. Out of bigness of heart they invited the local teachers and several other citizens as well. The visit over the grounds and through the buildings served to acquaint many with the real work of the school. Everything showed evidence of Prof. Carter's remarkable directive ability, the harmony existing among his workers and students and the unity of aim and purpose. Shortly before six p. m. the guests were assembled in the big dining hall of the J. B. Larimer dormitory and served to a splendid feast of good things. The banquet was served in six courses, was greatly enjoyed by everyone present, and all were loud in praise of the excellency of it. Very plensing numbers were rendered by the girl' chorus. Preparation was also made for music by the boys' orchestra and for several after-dinner speeches by prominent visitors, but owing to the delay occasioned by the city school children's drill on the state house lawn and the concert at the Auditorium in the evening, lack of time made it necessary to omit these. Free bus service to and from the city was furnished by the school, and not a single stone was left unturned to make the afternoon thoroughly enjoyable, and the generous praise accorded Prof. Carter proved beyond all doubt that the visitors were very highly pleased. Prof. Carter expressed gratification at the large attendance and appreciates the co-operation accorded him by the colored teachers throughout the state, who from time to time send a goodly number of students to the institute. One hundred and fifty-two guests were present. A CORRECTION An error was made in printing the item referring to the party given by Mrs. W. R. Carter for the young people of the Second Baptist church.

CONFERENCE AT LEAVENWORTH The C. M. E. Conference was held at Leavenworth last week, Bishop M. F. Jamison presiding. This conference is composed of loyal, substantial ministers of that church and men who are doing something for the race. Much credit is due the ladies of the missionary department, who raised something like $1200, which money goes to help poor churches and struggling ministers. There were several vistitors from other conferences and states, and some of the general officers. Rev. James Arthur Hamlett, editor of the Christian Index, was on hand to steer the old ship along in case the waters should become rough. He is a fixture in this conference and the state of Kansas, and the people are always glad to see him. He is one of the strongest editors of Christian newspaper in the United States and is doing effective work, and the time will come when he will be one of the leading bishops of his denomination. Rev. N. L. Smith of St. Louis, former pastor of Lane Chapel, this city, preached the annual sermon. His many friends were glad to see him. The contest between Missouri and Kansas was the most spirited and lively ever witnessed. The ladies of the Missionary Society of Kansas the Missionary Societies of Kansas and Missouri were competing to see who should raise the most money, Kansas raised over $600 and Missouri something over $500, and over $100 was taken up in the public collection.
