The Topeka Plaindealer -SENATE COMMITTEE SAVES KANSAS FROM DISGRACE! -SENATE COMMITTEE SAVES KANSAS FROM DISGRACE! Law Patterned After Lynching Stutes Promptly Killed by Noble Defenders of Justiceand Fair Play. Nineteenth Year. No. 7 Ever Loyal and True SENATE COMMITTEE S KANSAS F Law Patterned After L Promptly Killed by No of Justiceand F The loyal white and colored people of Kansas will be proud to note that the Senate committee on Cities of the Second Class put a bomb under the Sparks House Bill No. 83 offered by Sparks of Galena, to segregate colored children in schools of cities of the second class. It was intended to slip the bill through without the colored people getting wise as to what was going on, and as soon as the news reached us that the matter was before the House, we got busy and though the bill passed the House with six above a constitutional majority with a great number of Republicans voting for it which was a surprise to us, we know that the Senate was safe and sound, and the matter was taken up immediately with the Senate committee and they submarined the bill in a quiet manner. When Rev. J. R. Ransom and his submarine forces consisting of Rev. H. W. White, pastor of the Central Baptist church, Rev. Russell and Mrs. Ella Rollin began to send out their torpedoes, there was something doing, and so convincing was the speech of Rev. Ransom that the committee unanimously decided that the bill was of no use, force or offset and when the last torpedoes were sent out the ship was wrecked and the Negro hating committee from Galena just had time to escape. Much praise is due the Senate committee as they did their sworn duty and are to be commented as safe and sound men who can be trusted to transact business for the great State of Kansas. The following is the committee: J. A. Milligan, Goo. H. Wark, J. H. Anspaugh, W. II. Myers, BenJ. Brunner. This should be a signal warning to all the Southern Negro hitters who come to Kansas to foster their hatred against the colored people of Kansas who came to this state as a haven from the fact that John Brown, and Abraham Lincoln and all those sons of Anglo Saxon race who lived and died that Kan is should be free to everybody and that all the laws on the statute books should be written for the people as one race and one blood. There is a law on the statutes that was enacted some thirty odd years ago segregating schools in cities of the first class. This law should never have been put upon the books. It is a shame and a disgrace to all races in the states, but the colored people have to bear the blunt. All other nationalities enjoy all rights that are accorded citizens of any state. A bill has already been offered to repeal the law in cities of the first class, but we think that this is offered as spite work and not in good faith, but we are in favor of obliterating every "black law" on the statute books of Kansas at the proper time. Much credit is due Mrs. Ella Rollin for the part she played in the fight against this infamous measure. She is a woman who is doing noble work and should be placed in some good position for the work she has accomplished along political and welfare lines. The colored people should see to it that no one is employed around the legislature save those who will keep an eagle eye out to see all the black laws that are coming up from time to time. We are sorry to say that not one colored employee of the legislature knew anything about this law until it was brought to them from outside and the majority of them were too slow to do anything about heading it off. The colored people of Kansas should get together and fight these outrages 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 Plaindealer in the fight for equal justice: "It makes no difference if the house did pass the Sparks bill; we'll kill it in the senate and if we don't the governor will never sign it." That is the view Nick Chiles, editor of the Phiindaler, the local Negro paper, has of the segregation bill now in the legislature. The bill calls for separate schools for whites and blacks in cities of the second class. They are already separated in cities of the first class. Nick Chiles isn't worrying. In the final analysis of the situation he is demanding upon Governor Capper. "The governor will never sign such a bill," he said. The Sparks bill slipped thru the committee of the whole house before local Negroes caught its significance. They were on the ground in numbers when it went to final passage, but they were unable to block its passage for even a moment. It went thru with a big majority. Then the Negroes transferred their interest to the senate. The moment the bill reached the senate Negro lobbyists began warming up to senators. They have been at work on the job ever since and Nicodemus Chiles is pretty well satisfied with the situation. "The southern people who have been moving into Kansas are responsible for the change in sentiment towards the Negro," he said. "There was a time when all Kansas was loyal to the Negro and wanted him to have his rights, but I admit and every other Negro knows there has been a gradual, and recently, a most rapid change of sentiment. "The Santa Fe and other big concerns have been bringing a good many people from Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, and other southern states. These folks bring with them their intense feeling against the Negro. They spread the sentiment against us. "There was a time when Kansas people wouldn't have thought of separating the whites and blacks in cities of the first class. But they did it a few years ago and got away with it. Now they want to provide separate schools in cities of the second class. It's the natural next step. If we allow this to go on the next thing will be 'Jim Crow' street cars and railroad coaches and we'll be in about the same situation as the Negroes are in the South. "Understand, we dont object to the separation of white and black children for any reason except in such cases the Negro children get the worst of it. Their schools are the poorest buildings with the poorest teachers. The Negro children do not have the same chance as the whites. 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 knows it is not the school of the white folks that ruffers." The Plainindaler takes special pride in fighting the battles of the race, but they should remember that it takes cash to buy paper, pay printers, etc., and a prompt settlement of subscription accounts would add greatly to the strength of* their weapon of defense. The setback of the race is that there are too few who have the courage to go forward and battle for human rights. They feel that they are inferior or will not be given a chance to be heard, therefore take it for granted that all white people are against them, which is a big mistake. There are thousands of good white men and women in Kansas who are friends to the colored race and will do most anything to help them it the colored people would stand up and show that they are men and women 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 coward and if he risks 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 upon 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 better class, but they would not start until they saw that the fine sentiment expressed was appreciated by the race, and it inspired the speakers to go ahead and say more good things for us. When we find good white men willing to take up the gauntlet and fight for the race, we should encourage them and not desert them. Now Mr. Sparks can go back to Galena and there tell his people that the Capitol City is a long ways from the line of Missouri, Arkansas, or Oklahoma which states have absorbed a disease against the colored people which Kansas will not stand for and if he and his kind do not like Kansas and her laws, it will not take but a few minutes for them to move over the lines into other of the states namel. The colored people are going to live in Kansas and enjoy the rights of any other citizen notwithstanding that Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma may object. Mr. Sparks, father of the un-American bill, is a big, husky oneyed, strong lunged fellow whose brain seems to work in his stomach or in his feet. He said that the people of Galena sent him here for that special purpose and from the record he is making we think it is the only bill he has introduced. We think it will return home a better and miser man and with more respect for colored people than he ever had before as he had not probably come in contact with colored people who knew what citizenship meant and would fight to the last clitch to secure that right. It is said that he is from TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRU RY 9 1917 Kentucky but we think it is a mistake, for judging from his actions we should presume he is from Georgia, Mississippi or somewhere in Texas. Kansas has no place for his kind. RICHARD HIGHTOWER, DEADI The funeral of the late Richard Hightower, who was one of Topeka's most substantial citizens and upright Christians, was held at Shiloh Baptist, church Sunday afternoon under the auspices of Cyrene Commandery No. 3, Knights Templar and Euelid Lodge No. 2, A. F. & A. M., of which organizations he was a respected member. Rev. Jos. T. Hill, the pastor officiated and paid a very high tribute to the life and memory of the deceased. Mr. Hightower had been a deacon of Shiloh Baptist church for the past thirty years. He lived an ex- J. compliant life and was a man who did much for the church and the citizens of this community. The Memoriam program was something new and out of the ordinary and the church is to be commanded on the carrying out of same Resolutions were read in behalf of Myra Chapter No 5, O. E. S., the Shiloh Sunday school and B. Y. P. U., Dencon Board and church. Beautiful songs were rendered by Shiloh choir. The remains were viewed by over three hundred people. Mr. Hightower was a stonemason and contractor and has done thousands of dollars worth of contracting in the city during the years he followed his trade. He was sixty years of age at the time of his death and a native of Kentucky. The remains were entered in Mount Auburn cemetery. EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS. One of Leaventworth's most popular women is Mrs. A. II Walton, who resides at 827 Pollinatowne. She is a teacher in the public school and has been for the past ten years. She is an ideal woman in a fine culture, Christian lady. She is the mother of eight children and deserves great credit for rearing them as their father dled when they were quite young. She has succeeded in rearing these children up to where three of them are now teaching school and one is in the government service. The younger ones are at home attending school. Not a child has given her a moment's worry or trouble and she has worked hard to keep them together and her work smokes for itself. Very few women could have accomplished what this lady has without complaint. In talking to her, she is one who does not care to be before the public. Is very quiet and unassuming and to look at her one would think that she had never had a minute's worry or struggle for existence. Mrs. Walton is beautiful and seems to live with ease and comfort. She is a woman who believes in looking after those in need. Wh wherever she hears of a poor woman of the race or orphan in distress, she makes it her indispensable duty to go to their relief. All Leaventworth is proud of her. The late Mrs. Walton was for years, principal of the Leaventworth schools and was grand secretary of Prince Hall Grand Lodge. A. F. & A. M. Kansas and jurisdiction up to the time of his death. We visited the beautiful mansions of Mrs. Ada Montgomery 577 Shawnee street and must pay we were apparently surprised to find that she has customers coming from different parts of the state taking the treatments and learning the traps. She owns the buildings in which she is located and the mansions speak highly of her work and the articles manufactured by her EXHIRT OF WESTERN II. AT THE STATE HOUSE! Great School Shows What Kauai is Dong for the Neva. It is a pleasure to visit the exhibit of the State Industrial Department of Western University on the Campus of Representative hall of the State University. There is an exhibit, Art work, drawing, painting, music work, domestic art and science and in fact a general display of all the departments of Western University and the members of the legislature are clated over the great success that is being made under the management of Prof. Kealing, the president. The exhibit is under the management of Miss Gertrude Gotlair. She is a student of the University and a very beautiful and intelligent young lady and takes delight in explaining the exhibit to visitors. Her smile is sweet and she has a kind word for all. MISSOURI LEGISLATORS VISIT LINCOLN INSTITUTE Jefferson City, Mo., "In good fellowship and united efforts there must be progression." The material prosperity of Lincoln Institute is doubtless due, in a large part, to the sagacity of its distinguished president, Dr. B. F. Allen, who well knows the power of good fellowship and entertainment in establishing a right understanding and in adjusting all matters of state. The members of the Missouri legislature are always invited and urged to visit the school, and at every session this body is entertained by a Capitol Concert in the Hall of Representatives by the students of Lincoln Institute. This concert is always a feature in the entertainment of the legislators, as the school has established a reputation for excellence in music. During the session of the legislature the Sunday chapel services are attended by members of this society. No greater evidence of their interest in the work can be given in the fact that on the Sunday following the opening of the legislature a large delegation visited the chapel services, and annotated to the next Sunday. On last Sunday a special song served in the lawmaker of Missouri. One of the members who is a frequent visitor, was with the troops on the monumental march through Georgia and enjoys the spartan motif with national airs no more than he delights in the splendid memorial of the Union victory. One of the elencors gave an inspiring address of appreciation. "The interest of the legislators is not only allowed and maintained through the public services and the inspection of the work, but also by the luncheons and dinners given members in the dining room of the domestic service department On January 31 members of the appropriation committee of the House were interneled at a 5 o'clock lunchoon On Monday, January 29, at 1 o'clock, another party of visitors was entertained at luncheon, and 6 o'clock of the same day dinner was served to the members of the appropriation committee of the Senate. The o'clock and Miss Oversee street, teacher of social music, entertained the nurses. Miss Oversee street has a price of nine cents, and sweetness. Her condition of the solo, "When the Heart Is Yawing," by Buck, so charmed her mild eye that she was recalled again and again. Miss Oversee street sung "A Perfect Day," by Bond, "Somewhere a Voice is Calling," by Tate, and "Swance River," revealing in each her comprehensive grasp of the sense of song. The good understanding produced in there ways wins the hearty support of the legislators for the furtherance of the work. OTTAWA, KAN. The revival that has just closed at the A. M. E. church was a glowing success. Many souls were added to both churches. The Baptist church is contemplating a series of evangelistic meetings soon. Mrs. S. A.

With him is a daughter, who will visit with her sister, Mrs. Harrison Baldwin, awhile. Mr. Geo Turner received some very painful injuries last Sunday when a horse fell on him. He has about recovered. It is fortunate for Ottawa that the "jim crow" school bill passed by the house met a sudden death in the senate committee. Mr. Wiley has returned from Kansas City, where she has been visiting her brother, Mr. Allen Ewing. The city election is approaching. Why should not the colored people get together and go to the ballot box for their common interest? Rev. F. P. Moten and wife, who have been the guests of Rev. and Mrs.' C. A.

Franklin Bray Evangelistic Co. Sturring Independence, Kan. Last Sunday marked the opening of what gives promise of being the greatest religious awakening this section of Kansas has ever witnessed. Dr. H Franklin Bray and his corps of worshippers arrived last Thursday and tested till Sunday morning, at which time the lines of battle were formed and the light begun. Four weeks of marching under the leadership of this remarkable general are before us and then the shouts of complete victory will be heard from the mouths of scores of redened and a mightily strengthened army. All pastors and their churches are co-operating and scores are being turned away each night for lack of room. A great chorus is singing at each service and young and old are organized irrespective of race or denomination. Will let you know the result when the smoke of bittle dies away. MRS. SARA HAMMERT.

When the surroundings in which we work are far from ideal, there seems no way in which to remedy them. The sensible thing is to learn to regard them as little 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 some people to do any work whatever. Now in his case conditions can not be remedied, and the man is right in training himself to be oblivious to them. But sometimes the disadvantages of our surroundings are due to our own lack of care. Sometimes men will work at a desk so disorderly that inevitably a great deal of time is wasted looking for things which should be accessible without an instant's delay. Some students choose to do their studying in the family living room, where they must contend against innumerable distractions. It is the business of everyone to make the surroundings in which they work as helpful as possible, and to train themselves to ignore the disadvantages in their environment over which they have no control. Life, however, is a succession of choices; if the right way were always clear, this matter of choice would not be such a difficult problem as we usually find it. In many decisions the question we face is so 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 come to him in manhood hold much less struggle, much less care and worry because of the earlier training he has given himself. Through exercise his power of vision has become strong. The home influence is not a passing, but an abiding one, and all-powerful for good or evil, for peace or strife, for happiness or misery. Each separate home has been likened to a central sun around which revolves a happy and united band of warm, loving hearts, acting, thinking, rejoicing, sorrowing together. Which member of the family group can say, "I have no influence"? What sorrow or what happiness lies in each! Those who think the world is full of good people and kindly blessings are much richer than those whose thoughts are to the contrary. Each individual's imagination largely peoples the world for themselves. Some live in a world people with princes of the royal blood; some in a world of pupers and privations. You have your choice. This is a big, busy world. It causes very little what you think of it. It is a choice that concerns yourself more than all others combined, whether you grouch in the gloom, the comparison of hateful robins, or staddle in the sunshine, seeing smiles and catching shreds of some. Men and women in God's image were not made as whining, provoking beings. They were made to stand erect mentally as well as physically; to labor well and lovingly; to take the gifts of providence, whether they be joy or sorrow, and bear them cheerfully with courage; to add ever something to the world's store of happiness. If it be only a smile, look up. See how floored with sunshine it is a beautiful world is when faced with smiling eyes. If you would win anything, do anything, don't whine. One mark of progress is to be continually harder to satisfy where your own work is concerned. Some people who start out with high ideals settle down to a comfortable fortress of mediocrity, and instead of losing dissatisfied with their achievements, they are continually easier to satisfy. They are the people who, instead of advancing, lose ground. They are the authors whose first book makes a hit, and whose other work is sold on the strength of that first success. They are the public men who, having achieved distinction by championing some worthy cause, are content for the rest of their lives to falt on the spoil of office. If you are ambitious to grow you must learn to be a severe critic of your own achievements, increasingly difficult to satisfy. The year 1917 should mark the beginning of a new era with the Negro race in America. The progress made by the race in the half century just passed has been the most remarkable that historians have any record of, but even in the face of this high mark of achievement, the showing could have been much better. The race has readily adapted itself to the habits and customs of the Anglo-Saxon people, a fact that has given race leaders encouragement and inspiration. It is to be hoped that the race will continue to adjust itself to the habits of a people that have had better advantages, but wherever the environs do not justify the race in so doing, then it must take the initiative and set a pace for itself. The thing that is hindering our progress to a great extent is that we as a race are too far apart on the issues that would contribute to a permanent success. The Negro has his money distributed over too large a territory to accomplish very much good, with the limited capital that he has at his disposal. 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 social clubs, two life and accident insurance companies, the up-keep of the home, with the whisky and tobacco bill, the policy game, crap and poker game expense attached. There a great number of good Christian men and women, I believe, who are members of lodges and fraternal organizations, who are sincere in their intentions, but who have not considered these matters from a standpoint of common sense. So many times that the church could do what the lodges are doing, if the members would be as loyal to their churches as they are to the lodges and insurance companies. This is one branch of our church work that the Christians must take under consideration. I have always thought that the church and school should be first in being well cared for, and then if there remains any surplus invest it in a way in which it will be bringing something in, also start a bank account. Every man and woman that gives liberally to the cause of Christianity, of their means, and of their time, and for the uplift of humanity, will always be prosperous, but those that withhold their hand will always be hard up. I hope every Negro in America will watch and study this proposition during the present year. The Negro must begin now to take some of the money he is putting into lodges and insurance companies and give his churches better support, and start more business concerns, in order that the race may become stronger and be in position to secure substantial recognition in the business world. The fact of the matter is the Negro has got to expend his money in a way in which he can get some returns if his progress is to continue. (First Published in The Topeka Plaindealer January 26, 1917.

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.

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.
