Law Patterned After Lynching States Promptly Killed by Noble Defenders ws of Justiceand Fair Play. the Senate committee on Cities OF the Second Class Rt a bomb-under the Sparks House Bill No. 83 offered by Sparks of Galena, to segregate solored-children in schools of cities of the accond class. It was Intended to slip the bill through without the colored people getting ‘wire as to what was going on, and as soon as the news reached us that the matter was befre the House, we got busy and though the bill passed the Mouse with six above a constitutional ma- fority “with a great number of Re- publicans voting for {t which was 8 surprise to us, We know that the Sen- ate was cafe and sound, and the mat- ter was taken up immediately with the Senate committee and they submarined the bill in a quiet man. ner, When Rev. J. R. Ransom and his submarine forcos consisting of Rev, H* W. White, pore of the Central Raptist_church, Rev, Rus- sell and Mrs. Ella Rollin began t send out their torpedoes, there was something doing, and £0 convincing was the speech of Rev. Ransom that the committee unanimoasly decided that the bill was of no use, force or effect and when the last torpedoes rere sent out the ship waa wrechel and the Negro hating committee from Galena just had time to esexpe. ‘Much praise is due the Senate coT- mittee ag-they did their swoin duty and are $9 be cammented ns sife and sound men who can be trusted to transact business for the grext Btate of Kansis, The folowing Is the committee: 3.

Brunner, This shorid be a signal warning te all the Southem Negro haters who come to Kansas to foster their “hatred agulnet the colored perple cf “Kansas who came to this stvte as a raven from the fact that John Erown, und Abraham Lincolg and all those sons of Anglo Sixon race who lived nnd def that Kan is should be fiee to everybody and that all the laws on the statute books should be written for tte people us ene raco and one blood, There is a Jaw on the statutes that was enacted some thirty odd years ago segregat- ing schools in cities of the first class, This law should never have been put ‘pon the books. It 14 a shame and a diggrace to all racea in the states, but the colored people have to bear the blunt. All other nationalities en- foy all rights that are accorded citl- wens of any state, A bit] has al- ready been offered to repeal the law in citles of the first class, but we think that this is offered as spite work and not in goot faith, but we are in favor of ebliterating every ‘black Jaw” on the etatute books ef Kansas at the proper time. . Much eredit is due Mrs, Ella Rol- in for the part she played in the Sight against this Infamous measure. fhe-is a woman who fs doing noble work and should he placed in some Fe position for the work she has jecompished along pohtical and wel- fare lines, The colored people should pee to It that no one fs employed faround the legislature save those pe will keep an eagle eye out to all the black Jaws that are com- fog up from time to time, We are porry to say that not one colored em- ployee of the legislature Knew any- @hing about this law until it was brought to them from outside and fhe majority of them were too slow to do anything about heiding it off. The colored people of Kansas should get together and fight these out- yages that are trying to be forced upon them by a class of~Southern whites who come to this state, The following is what the Topeka State Journal said with reference to the part played by The Plaindeiler in the fight for equal justice: “It makes na difference if the bouce did pars the Sparks bill; wo'll kill It in the senate and if we dont the eovernor will never sion it" That is the view Nick Chiles, ¢ti- tor of the Pliindeater, the local Ne- fro paren, has af the serregatlon i now in the Jeg'slature. The bill walls for reprrate achooln for whiten and blacks in eltles of the second slass. They arg alreidy separated in elties of the first, class, Nick Chiles isn’t worrying, Jn the final analysis of the situation he Is denending von Governor Capper, “The governor will never algn much a bill,” ho said. ‘The Sparks bill slipped thru the sommittee of the whole houre hefore Jocal Negroes caught {ts significance, They were on the ground In numbers when it went to final paseage, but they were unable to bloch ite missive for even a moment, It went tha with a big majority, ‘Then the Negroes transferred thelr Interest to the senate. The moment ee Oe gee eee oe ea me eR fob ‘eter since and Nicodenus Chilee in pretty well satisfied with tho situ ation, “The southern people who have ‘been moving into Kangoa are respon- sible for the change in sentiment to- wards the Negro,” he raid. “There wae 1 time when all Kansas was loyal to the Negro and wanted him to have hia rights, but I admit and every oth- er Negro knows there has been a gradual, and® recently, a most rapid change ‘of sentiment, |The Santa Fe and other ble con- corms have been bringing a good many people fiom Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, and other southern etates. These folks bring with them their In- tence feeling against the Negro. They epread the scntiment agrinst us, “There wis a time when Kansas people wouldn't have thought of scp- urat'ng the whites and blacks in cit- ies of the first class, But they did it a few years ago and got away with it, Now they want to provide sepy- iate schools in cities of the secon] clasa, It's the natural next step. If we allow this ta ga on the next thing will be ‘Jim Crow’ street cars and rnilroal coaches and we'll be in about the rame situation as the Negroes are in the South. “Understand, we dont object to the separation of white and black chil- dien for any reason except in such cases the Nezra children get the woret of it, Their echools are the poorest buildings with the poorest teachers. The Negro children do not have the same chance ns the whiter. Taxpayers simply will not stand for a double system of schools, one for whites and one for blacks, equally good, One system must suffer from lack of money and everyone fnows “t is not the school of the white folks that ruffers,” The Plaindeater takes special pride tn fighting the battles of the rare, but they should remember that it takes cash to buy paper, poy,erms ters, etc. and a prompt settlement of subscription accounts would add greatly to the strength of thelr weapon of defense, The setback of the race Is that there are too few wha have the eouire age to go forward and battle for hit wan rights, They feel that they are infertor or will not he given a chance to be heard, therefore tnke it for granted that all white people ure against them. which is a big mistake, There are thousands of gool white men and women in Kansas who are friends to the colored race and will ao most anything ta help them it the colored people would atand up and show that they nre men and wo- men and will defend not only their rights but those who stand up for them, The average white man thinks the average colored person is a cow- ard and if he riska himself to defend him, the colored man will back up. We discovered this in the House a few days ago when two or three white men out of that great number arose upan the floor and defended the rights of colored people and there was not a single man, white or Black who would applaud ‘until we started the thing and then there was a general applause by men of the bet- ter elnss, but they would not* start until they raw that the fine entt- ment expresred was appreciated by the race, and it inspired the speakers to go nhead and say more good things for ur. When we find good white men willing to stake up ‘the vauntlet and fight for the race. we should encourage them and not de- sert them, Now Mr. Sparks can go Incl to Galena nnd there toll his people that the Capitol City is a long ways from the line of Missouri, Arkansas, or Oklahoma which states have absorbed a disevse againet the colored pros pie which Kanaan will not stand for and if he and his kind do not like Kanene and bor Inwe, it will nol take but a fow minutes for them to move over the lines into rather of the states namel, The colored peop e aro gang to live in Kansas and en- Joy the rights of any other citizen notwithatanding that Mireourl, Ar kaneas and Oklahoma may object. Mr, Sparks, father of the un- American bill, Is a big, husky one- eyed, strong ‘lunged fellow whose brain seems to work In his stomacn or in his fet, He said that the pro- nle of Galena sent him here for that special parpose and from the recort te fs making we think it Ir the on's Ui he has intraduces, We think ‘a will return home a better and siser_ man and with more respect for colored peop'e than he ever bed before as he had not prohable come ‘m contact with colored people who knew what citizenship meant and would ficht-to the lact ditch to recure that right, It Is sald that ke fe-from Kentucky but we think it is a mis take, for judging from his actions we should presume he is fram Geor- gia, Mississippi or somewhere in ae Kansas has no place for his ind ——_."—_—._.

When the surroundings In which we work are far from ideal, there eeems no way in which to remedy them. The sensible thing is to Jearn to regard them as litle as possible. The newspaper man learns to work in the midst of disturbances which would paralyze the average author, and she writes a pathetic story of some case of suffering or an editorial that stirs up an entire state in spite of interruptions which would make it Impossible for rome people to da any work whatever. Now in his ense conditions can not be remedicd, and the man is right in training himeelf to he oblivious to them. Rut sometimes the disadvantages of our surround: ings are due to our own lach of care, Sometimes men will work at a desk 60 disorderly that inevitably a great denl of time Is wasted look. ing fo¥ things which should be ac- eessible without an instant’s delay. Bome students choose to do thelr studying {n the family living room, where they must ' contend against innumerable distractions, It is the Business of everyone to mnke _ the wurroundings in which they work as helpful as possible, and to train themeelves to {ignore the disndvant- ages in their environment over which they have no control. Life, however, is a succession of cholces; if the right way wore al- ways clear. this matter of choice would not be such a difficult prob- lem as we usually find it. In many decisions the question we face is se complex that we are bewildered, Clear vision comes through training. To the boy who learns, when young, to face everything honestly and thoughtfully, and to choose the right, when the decisions of his life are still the simpler ones, the harder, more complex decisions that geome to him in manhood hold much Yess struggle, much less care and ‘worry because of the earlier training he has given himself, Through ex- q@cise his power of vision has be- come strong.

The race has readily adapted itself to the habits and customs of the Anglo-Saxon people, a fact that has given race leaders encourage- ment and taspiration. It ts to ba hoped that the race will continue to sdjue itself to the hab- its of a people that have had bet- ter advantages, but wherever the environs do not justify the tace in so doing, then it must take the in- Itlative and set a pace for itsclf. The thing that is hindering out progress to a great extent is that we as @ race are too far apart on the issues that would cuntrioule to 4 permanent success. The Negro has hie money distributed over tuo large a territory to accomplieh very much ood, with the limited capital that he has at his alsposal. "Let us; consider the average Negro, and the places he has to put his’ money There is the church, sometimes two and three lodges, two sccial clubs, two life an accident insurance companies, the up-keep of the home, with the whisky and tobacco bull, the policy game, crap and pohie game expense attached. ‘There a great number of good Christian men and women, I believe, who are niembers of lodges and fra- ternal organization;’ who are sine cere in their intentfons, but who have not considered these matters from a standpoint of common sense. So many times that the church ould do what the lodzes ure duing, f the members would be as loyal ts heir chuictes us they are to the lodges and Insurance companies. rhis is one branch of our chuich sork thit the Christians must take | under fohaiteration.

I hope every Negro in Americ will watch and study this proposition during the present yeas. The Negro must begin now to ake some of the money he Is put. ing inte lodges und inaurance com- anies and give his churches better upport, and start moye business ‘onceins, in order that the. race may ecome stronger and be in peition © sccure substantial recognition in he business world.

T is said that a lady could walk anywhere in white satin slippers in fine weather in the brick-paved streets of Brock, Holland, without fear of going them—the city is said to be the clearest in the world. No truth encumbers the stocks in this stone; they are as clean as the proverbal "whistle." We see to it that nothing unworthy enters describe the temptation to sit down and rest now and then and let the Duat of Shufffulness accumulate to your unspleasure and distrust. You can walk about through the broad asks without fear of coming in contact with or baselines in any department. This is always so, and so it shall always be.

Young women who are in good health and of good character, with a fair education, who wish positions as nurses in a hospital will send their names to the Plaindealer and we will send them to the proper parties form time to time. Names of about fifteen are desired. Mr. and Mrs. Charles French entertained Mr. S. O. Clayton, of Parsons and yc editor at dinner Sunday. Mrs. French is one of Topeka's late citizens and she is certainly welcome among the city's best people as she is a woman among women and has already done more during the last two months that she has lived in Topeka than all the women combined have done during the past ten years. She has gone forward and shown the people that thetheatre have no right to discriminate against colored people. She had the county attorney to see to it that colored children were admitted to thetheatre where pictures were shown for the benefit of school children. We wish we had more women over the country like her who are not afraid to meet white people and discuss matters of interest pertaining to the race as regards their rights. Mr. French is in the private car service with Mr. Fox, who is general manager of the Santa Fe. They have organized a tennis club which will be in full swing this summer. Mr. Peter Smith is president, Mr. French, vice-president and Miss Vivian Sims, secretary. CARD OF THANKS. We wish through the Plainender to extend our thanks to our neighbors and the many friends who so kindly contributed to our comfort in our bereavement over the loss of our beloved father, Mr. Anthony Scott, and also for the many floral tributes of esteem and respect. Especially do we thank the members of the G. U. O. O. F. The revival which began last Sunday is progressing very nicely. There have been a number of conversions and, judging from the amount of interest manifested so far, it appears as though it will be one of the greatest revivals in the history of the church. There will be a great men's meeting Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The best of music will be rendered by a chorus of fifty male voices. The ladies will only be admitted to the wings of the church. Come! This means you. The crowd will be there, so why not follow the crowd and enjoy a religious feast? WILLIAM BRADSHAW, Reporter. Rabe phone Bros. 747 110 E.

Always alert and straining every effort to please the amusement loving people, the Apex will follow the lead of similar play houses in the larger cities by entering into vaudeville along with the regular bill of high-class motion pictures. "It's the only thing," said Mrs. Wright, the manager as she handed the "copy" for the weekly program to a Plaindealer reporter. "The people are hungry for a little vaudeville," she continued, "and we are going to put forth an effort to please them. It will be sometime, however, before we are able to secure some of the big attractions that play the colored houses in the East and South, but we are going to do our best along this line, and there is one thing certain, our show will always be clean and elevating. Considerable local talent will be used until we can complete arrangements with the Eastern booking agents."

The managers of the Bookertee Townsite Co., today closed a contract with an Eastern smelter company by the terms of which they are to begin work at once on the construction of an immense zinc smelter similar to those in operation at Henryetta. This smelter will represent an investment of approximately half a million dollars and will employ within the next few months between five and six hundred men. Work will start on this smelter within the next week or ten days and will be pushed to completion as rapidly as weather conditions and freight deliveries will permit. This smelter was secured because of the fact that Bookertee has such unlimited supply of gas and cool for fuel Negroes will be employed in the smelting as well as the other industries at Bookertee and this is the only instance where the colored man has been permitted to own a share in the industry that furnishes him employment. Negroes will be represented on the Board of Directors.
