the minister of the guspel is not go-
ing to be an example for the people
in helping tlem to sce 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 uphold-
ing the principle and integrity of
the race, what ure 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

of God und educational leaders.

When we think of our debt to our
werk, we are very likely to begin and
end with the fact that it gives us a
livehhood. To our work we owe food
and clothing, shelter and fire,
But when these items have been
enumerated, we have only made a
bemoning. Our work is our most}
coastant companion, It absorbs our!
energies, probably one-half of our
waking hours, and much of the reat!
ef the time we are thinking over
what we have done and looking for-
ward to what we have to do, There
are few things which exert such an
influence on our lives as our work. |
Terough it we learn method and
concentration. We leam faithfulness
ta a routine. Work has a big share
in malong us what we are,
But, big as is our debt to our
work, we might easily make it
Rreater. If we put the bect of our.

What Fools W'e Mortals Re—Our
attention was enlled to an incident
that happened during the iecent,
campaign, and four Negroes were
prominent characters in the affair.
The story runs thus: The Demo-
cratic campaigners and candidates
were touring Franklin county hold-
ing meetings, With them was a col-
ored quartette for the purpore of en-
tertaining the crowds as tere. wis
but little interest in the Meetings.
Dinner time eaught the party at one
of Frankin’ county's little burgs.
The white men, like Enghsh londs,
filed into the dining room of a lit-
Ule chop house to tefresh their wor-
med and exhausted bodies, and the
colored entertainers were, for a
while, forgotten. Finally one man,
who was a candsdate for the legin-
lature, 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
hospitahty of the kitchen crew, as
the candidate, whom they were labor.
ing 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” puddng
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 legis-
lature, 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 ua and
believe that out of one blood God
made all nations of the carth,

THE ELECTION.
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. C., where her remains were taken for burial. Mrs. Romare accompanied the body to Chester. Mrs. Williams had been sick for some time. She at one time resided at Claremore, Okla. She was a very industrious woman and made friends wherever she went. During her illness she was cared for by Mrs. Romare, who is an upright Christian lady whose heart and soul go out in sympathy to those who cannot help themselves. While Mrs. Williams was no relation, she had been connected with the family almost all her life. Mrs. Romare returned by way of Charlotte N. C., and Atlanta, Ga., and visited friends. Mr. Romare is one of Joplin's substantial business men and owns one of the largest harness shops in that part of the state, with a repairing shop and a large stock of bugles and wagons in connection.

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.

The City B. Y. P. 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. The article should have read "The evening was spent in music and conversation dancers," instead of "conversation and dancing," as appeared in last week's paper

C. M. E. 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. The editor of The Plain-dealer, Attorney T. W. Bell and several others were introduced to the

KINSLEY. KAN.
The people of Kinsley were very highly pleased by the recent visit of Rev. H. Franklin Bray and family. Dr. Bray came unexpectedly and upon his arrival threw aside all feelings of denominationalism in his work. What appeared at the outset to be an unsuccessful and unfruitful series of meetings, turned out to be one of the most successful battles against sin and wickedness ever waged in Kinsley. Excellent music and whole-hearted assistance were tendered by the Kinsley choir. A general spirit of harmony prevailed. The city mayor generously gave the use of the city hall for the meetings. Rev. Bray was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Munnis and family.
