KANSAS UPHOLDS GEORGIA! --- The House Patterns Law After Southern Murderers and Lynchers! UP TO THE SENATE! That Dignified Body of Pure Minded, Educated Men; Cream of the Saxon Race Will Be Called on to Save Kansas from Disgrace. Again that dignified body of educated, refined men, who comprise the Senate of this State will be called upon to save Kansas from everlasting disgrace by defeating a bill patterned after those fostered by Georgia's murderers, lynchers and riffraff and passed Tuesday by the Kansas House of Representatives. The bill is far reaching, unjust and a direct thrust to impede the progress of Kansas blacks along educational lines. The bill provides for the segregation of white and colored children in the public schools in cities of the second class up to the illhigh school. Should such a law be placed upon the statutes of Kansas it means that very few colored children will ever pass through the Iligh schools of the state. The law itself tells the white children that the blacks have no rights which they are bound to respect and when a colored student enters a Iligh school his presence will be just as undesirable as it was in the grades, and between students and teachers, the colored student will be so humilated and discriminated against that he will be forced out of school. On the other hand the schools in the cities of the second class have plenty of room for improvement which is slow in being brought about on account of lack of funds, then why add extra expense and give colored children worse than they now have when the same money could be used in improving conditions that would result in great good for all concerned? In some cities of the second class there are not more than a half dozen colored children in the schools and one teacher would be required to teach eight grades, a thing no man or woman can do successfully, and there is not a man who voted for this infamous un-American bill that would send his child to school under such conditions, and no pure minded Christian white man will thrust such a condition upon the colored race. WHITE MAN IS RESPONSIBLE. Citizenship is moulded through education and to develop the Negro into a desirable citizen he must be given the benefit of every advantage and it is through such infamous laws that we are menaced with undesirables. The white man alone is responsible and he alone will have to atone for his acts and it will be measured to him in a way that he and his offsprings will always regret. It is just such laws that cause the present conditions in the South today and the Southern white man is paying daily for it. NO REASON FOR THE LAW. NO REASON FOR THE LAW. There is no reason whatever for such a law being placed on the statutes of Kansas and there should not have been a law separating the schools in cities of the first class, but since we have it, it should not be extended further and of anything repeal it. The measure is simply passed by the house was framed and butted at Galena, Chippewa county, on the be历 of Missouri and urged by the riddle of the bandit state; the bill was presented to the trif and disrupt the finally relation that have always existed between the races in Kansas. The recent campaign was made on segregation, Henry Negro home in the country was flooded with campaign thunder telling of the segregation police of Wondrow Wilson and the Democratic party, but if the Kansas House of Representatives is an example of Republican fair play the saddle has been placed on the wrong horse, CATHOLIC DOWN PARK. THE white protestant is over ready to throw a block in the Negro's war to impede his progress along all lines while the Catholic church is lending every aid possible to lift him up. Here in Topeka Negroes have and are attending the Catholic school and there has never been a woid uttered against them. But of course when one views the matter from the right angle, we find there is a big difference in Christians and hypocrites. WHY PICK ON THE NEGRO? In this broad land we have Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese and other races but the Negro is selected as the goat and all that is mean and degraded is heaped upon his shoulders. Down in Mexico white Americans are being murdered, their women outraged daily and while the faithful, loyal black is down there fighting and dying to protect them, white hypocrites are passing laws to take away his rights. Hatched in the debased minds of the low, ignorant snuff-dipping "crackers" of the South there laws have gradually crept Northward until they have reached Kansas—the cradle of freedom, and they must not be permitted to disgrace the pages of our statutes. VOTE FAVORING BILL. The following members voted in favor of placing a law on the statute patterned after those of Georgia and other states whose destinies are guided by murderers and lynchers.

And while it would not be fair to place all in that class as some were detained on account of illness, the majority are guilty of possessing a streak of yellow.

There was a time when Guthrie Okla., was "it," and then some, and and the colored man enjoyed many privileges. It was a boasted Re publican town, but it seems to have about come to a certain standstill. The educational interest is "away up in G," and Prof. Carry and his coworkers are still doing more than their duty. Then, too, there are good churches, ably pastored, and not a few good homes owned by the race. The white man there has stopped Negroes from attending moving picture shows, telling them that there is not room in the "buzzard roost" for them. The white man's prejudice caused the Negro to be barred, and it was thought that the Negro race was being poked in the rules; however, it was the best thing that could have possibly been done for the Negro race. If we'll just not stay out of Mr. John's "buzzard roost," where we are forced to eat "Jim Crow," we hope they will make us. Before long some Negro ill open a play-house in Guthrie and it will be a success, as the white man's prejudice will drive us to do things. Ameal Dr. T. H. Wright is one of the leading physicians of the race and his magnificent home is one of the best in Guthrie, and it is presided over by one of our cultured women, Mrs. Wright being an educator and a musician of note. Dr. Wright has modern offices and enjoys a nice practice, and looks after his patients in a high class automobile. The scribe was entertained in his palatial home, and Dr. and Mrs. Wright tried to make your scribe feel like he was "somebody." They are firm believers in the Plaindealer and show their appreciation of the name by paying for it. We called on Mrs. Viola Levy, who had just finished a course at the Poro Collegege, St. Louis, Mo., and will open up business in her home town. Mrs. Levy has her diploma from this well known college, which is an assurance that she is an expert workman. She invites the ladies of Guthrie who want anything along her line to call on her. One of the solid families of the maze at Guthrie is that of Mr. T. C. Vinson. He has one of the best homes and for years has successfully conducted a tonsorial parlor for the white trade at Guthrie. The Vinson home is the scene of many social functions, and while we were in that town Mr. and Mrs. Vinson entertained with a whist party in honor of Prof. Joe Ellison, science teacher at Faver high school. The guests were: Misses Perpener and Stephens, Mcdamnes G. W. Carry and Dorothy Burks, F. G. Armstrong, Dr. and Mrs. Wright, Prof. Geo, W. Carry, Fred Armstrong, Roy Burks, Prof. Joe Ellison and Prof. Hamilton of Topeka. Refreshments were served and a pleasant evening was spent. The largest implement house in Guthrie is that of the W. D. Parker Co., and one of the trusty employees is Mr. R. A. Prunt, who has been with the firm twenty-one years and the two are insperable. He has the confidence of the promoter and the affairs of this magnificent firm are entrusted to Mr. Prunt. He owns a good home, and his excellent wife is a staunch admirer of the Plaindealer. This good couple own a home and other property and are recognized leaders in Guthrie. Mr. H. W. House is still doing nicely with the Welcome Grocery Co., carrying a large stock and enjoying a nice trade. He has also opened another grocery store at 117 South Broad street, managed by his wife, Mrs. House, assisted by her sister, Miss Corine Allen. These two stores are creditable enterprises and reflect credit on us. While we were at Mr. House's store he was arranging to open a first class hotel for the race. We, as a race, can stand for more men like Mr. House. Mr. E. McGill is conducting the Big Heart Grocery Store at 501 S. Second street, Guthrie, and enjoys a nice trade. This man has been in business since 1913 and is still holding on. He is a friend to the Plain dealer, and, like the name of his store, he has a "big heart." Such men as Mr. McGill are the kind who are helping the race. His adaptability for business can not be questioned by anyone, because he is producing the goods, and if we were able to boast of more men like E. T. McDaniel we wouldn't be long at building a race. He owns a valuable two story brick business house just across the street from the post-office, the upper floor being used as offices by professional men of the race, and on the first floor Mr. Mc and give the Negro race some standing in the business world, is conducting a two-chair tonsorial parlor at Wewoka. He conducts an orderly place, which is patronized by some of our leading people. This man is also one who believes in reading Negro newspapers. Mr. J. A. Gair, one of the race's experienced druggists, is now conducting an up-to-date pharmacy in which he carries a complete stock of pure drugs, sundries, etc., and by injecting business methods into what he is doing his place is enjoying a liberal patronage at Wewoka. The scribe visited this drug store and was pleased at the excellent showing Dr. Gair is making. His father, from Boley, was a pleasant visitor to Druggist Gair while we were at Wewoka. Mr. L. C. Young, whom we recognize as one of the most progressive business men in our race, has branched out into the dry goods business and on our recent visit there we called at his place and was astonished at the magnificent grocery store he had opened in connection with his tailoring establishment and dry goods store. Several thousand dollars are invested and there is no way in the world of keeping Mr. Young from making good. His accomplished wife is still conducting her grocery store and rooming house. Mr. G. W. Rowland, at Wewoka, is demonstrating that a colored man can succeed if he will treat the public right. His eating place is one of the well patronized places, and he is not only after money, but stives to please those who encourage him. Mr. Rowland is a solid man and we are glad to claim him as a friend. The scribe spent last Saturday in Wewoka. The crowded streets and the free use of money tells you in thunder tones that cotton is king. The scribe received a warm welcome and many of our people there subscribed for the Plumdealer. There is a thrifty set of nice men there who own brick business houses and are doing much business. The stores are creditable ones, and we were impressed with the activity noted on every hand. Good schools with able teachers and the town surrounded by thrifty farmers make it some town, Down here in the "land of promise," at Nowata, Okla, two Negroes fell victims last Friday to a mob of white men two lynched them because they were accused of killing a turnkey at the Nowata jail. The trouble with the mob is, it makes itself a bunch of murderers who are just as guilty as the victims of their wrath. Georgia claimed two also last week, and fair Kansas put a blur on its good name. One of our new subscribers at Wewoka is Dr. W. S. Dunlap, a graduate from Mehraun. This type of man is a great factor in race elevation, and he has for many years successfully practiced medicine. It was our good luck to meet Mrs. E. N. Bruner of Yeager, Okla, recently, whose family own 900 acres of Oklahoma dirt. She said: "I've been reading your excellent journal, and I desire to enroll as a yearly reader." Let the race everywhere do as this good woman did. Mr. W. M. Sugga, one of the successful colored merchants at Shawnee, never fails to help your scribe. He is a race lover who does not believe in talking so much, but doing.

Daniel has his tailoring establishment, cigar stand, pool parlor, etc. This progressive man is also operating a night and day jitney service and his two automobiles are kept on the go. He has a cultured woman for a wife, Mrs. McDaniel being one of the progressive teachers in the city schools of Guthrie, and takes front rank as an educator. The McDaniels are all we say, and then some. One of the representative families of Guthrie is that of Mr. T. T. Williams, who owns a modern home and who is one of our successful farmers. His, excellent wife has made good in the hair business, her patrons being among the leading white people. These excellent people are always striving to do something to give our race some recognition. Mr. Z. S. Smith, the tailor, is holding his own at Guthrie and is kept busy. This is no surprise when Smith's workmanship is taken into consideration, as he always does his work right and his customers go away satisfied. He doesn't believe in doing things just "good enough", but tries to excel, hence his success. If it is tailoring you want, this young man has plenty of it. Mr. F. W. Thompson is still conducting the O. K. barber shop at Guthrie, assisted by Mr. James Robinson, an old ace at the business. There are three high class chairs and these folks do real barber work. Mrs. Thompson is one of the popular teachers of Guthrie and is doing her part in race building. Mr. Thompson is an admirer of the Plaindealer and always hands us some encouragement on our visit. He is a man who believes the salvation of the race depends largely on our folks going into business. Our old friend, Mr. J. W. Taylor, who for ten years has had husband in Uncle Samuel's pocket, is still holding down a position at the postoffice at Githirie. Mr. Taylor also has a son, H. B., in that building as an elevator conductor. This young man served eight years as a member of the Tenth U. S. cavalry. This is one of the young men who is a history maker. Miss Minnie R., the accomplished daughter of Mr. Taylor, is still a member of the teaching force of Lincoln school in that city. Another son, Horace, is in his junior year at Howard University, Washington, D. C. The new Electric Shoe Repairing Shop is one of the successful colored enterprises at Guthrie and the proprietor, Mr. H. E. Bowen, is demonstrating that workmanship will bring the trade. His place is equipped with machinery which enables him to do work right, and he is certainly "carrying the bacon home." Mr. Bowen is an extensive dealer in shoes and he can fit you, and his prices are right. This young race man also owns a high class automobile and is one that the young men of our race can well afford to imitate. He is truly a business man. Mr. C. A. Chambers, who for eight years has conducted a grocery store at Guthrie, has gone out of business and will devote his time to oil drilling, etc., being an expert along that line. He made a success of the grocery business, but has figured it out that there is more money in the oil business. His wife will continue to conduct the confectionery business. Mr. Chambers is a successful business man and during his career at Guthrie handled more than $70,000 worth of business. The Welcome shining parlor at Guthrie, of which Mr. J. B. Witherspoon is owner, is still enjoying a nice trade from both races. This well regulated place also carries all the leading brands of cigars, tobacco, etc., and this young man of our race is making a success of the enterprise he opened several years ago. Mr. Witherspoon is one who believes in reading Negro newspapers and is one of our subscribers. There are only three stores at Guthrie older than the one Mr. Henry Shelby, the wide-awake coloured merchant, is conducting, and which has been doing business twenty-four years in that town, and today he has a complete stock representing thousands of dollars. Mr. Shelby is not only a business man who has been in the fire and tried, but is an ardent Christian, being a leading member of the A. M. E. church and a race lover. He owns valuable property and has built up a name that will get him anything he wants. He believes in the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," hence his friends are to be found among both races. Mr. Shelby is a leader in the commercial world and we are always proud to make mention of him. WEWOKA. Mr. W. H. Fail is one among the many farmers we enrolled at Wewoka as a subscriber. He belongs to that progressive class who read Negro newspapers. Dr. A. V. Coffey, one of the race's eminent physicians, maintains offices in the Coffey building, a two-story stone structure at Wewoka, Okla. He graduated from Knoxville Medical college in 1909 and has successfully practiced at Wewoka ever since. He was valedictorian of his class and is recognized as a man of much ability. Dr. Coffey, by his many successful operations, etc., has convinced all that he is a medical man of the first kind. While at Wewoka we met Mr. Dave N. Buckner of Bearden, Ohla., one of the race's well fixed men. He is a heavy cattle buyer and owns 610 acres of land. We met this man and he favored us with his subscription. This is a solid man and we found him full of business. Mr. Jim Irvine, a former Texan, has opened a restaurant at Wewoka, where he is doing nicely. He serves the best of everything and his place is liberally patronized. When in that wide-awake town, drop in and see him. Mr. J. G. Bradley, a race man whose object in life is to make money "LENALL HELP WANTED" Ada's Hair Grower Ada's Hair Grower In 3 months will make the Hair long, soft and glossy. A trial will prove it.
