The Topeka Disindealer Nineteenth Year. No. 8 No Battle Has Eve GALENA HOWLS FOR S IN THE PU Border Hypocrites Thr and Members of Le Want Kansas Clas Georgia and Mi GALENA HOWLS FOR SEGREGATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS! Border Hypocrites Threaten Governor and Members of Legislature---- Want Kansas Classed With Georgia and Missouri. Whereas, it is evident that this result has been brought about by certain political leaders in Topeka, who through craven fear that the passage of the bill might lose them some Negro votes and thus affect their future political aspirations, are willing to defeat the manifest wishes of thousands of white voters throughout the state, especially those living in cities of the second class, and thus force on our children during the ages when they are most susceptible to outside influence a social intercourse with the colored children that The following are the resolutions passed by the Galena Commercial club and sent to the members of the Kansas State Legislature because they refused to pass laws against the blacks of the state of Kansas, the home of John Brown. We are surprised that the people of Galena, after years of freedom and after sending their children to school with colored children all three years, at this late date to find opposition. We are told that the gentleman who offered this bill—the author of it—has lived in Galena for years, came there practically a poor man, and has grown rich from the labor of colored men and his children have gone to school with colored children, graduated with them, and have never been injured, and we learn that he has one of the most highly respected families in Galena. Now, it comes with poor grace for him to try to draw the color line in Galena after all these things have passed. We do not believe that Mr. B. B. Schermerhorn, president of the Citizens Bank and who was president of the Kansas State Board of Control for a number of years, really signed his name to such a resolution as this because of his expressed friendship for colored people and the fact that he has lived in the town of Galena for a number of years and never raised his voice against colored children before, and now to see his name attached to such a resolution, we cannot believe he allowed it. He is too much of a well bred white man and gentleman to be opposed to the colored race in the matter of education. We cannot understand why the Rev. J. W. Waddon, pastor of the M. E. church, who claims to be a follower of the lofty Nauticane, would allow his name to be signed to such a document. We do not think this is true, but if it is a fact he cannot be chased with such high class gentlemen as the Sheldon, the author of "Of One Enoch," who is an upright Christian custoer and would not be guilty, nor would any试, the Christian point to who he is in our local and Savior church, how his name to be connected with anything that would bring reproach on any race, is the Savior died that all men should be saved into perfective of race, color or condition. The Commercial club is also sending out copies of the Civil Rights law of Kansas. We are told that the Supreme Court has annulled a part of this statute from the fact that they discriminate in schools of cities of the first class. This is uncalled for and the Supreme Court has dodged this proposition. Under the Civil Rights law of Kansas colored people should be entitled to all rights of any other race and it was so intended and the Galena Commercial club should so consider it. Now, we would like for the white people of Galena to understand that just because they are white people they are no better than anybody else, black or white, and just because they are surrounded by Missouri and Oklahona it makes no difference. The white people of Galena are going to die some day, either at Galena or somewhere else, as are also the colored people. God has made no distinction in the races—we must all be born into the world and all must pass out of it. The colored people of Galena are not caring about associating with white people; all they want is a chance to educate their children in a school building that is paid for and managed by the taxpayers of that county, and those of the white people who do not care to send their children to public schools should send them to private schools. The Protestants there are no better than the Catholics, and Catholics are not only paying taxes to educate Protestants but are reading their children to private schools, and the same schools are open for the admission of colored children. All the hypocrites to be found now are in the Protestant churches. The Civil Rights law should be respected, and when it comes to having laws to make a man do that which he does not want to do it is unnatural, for all laws should be made for all people to live up to all alike. The colored people in Guajena nor nowhere else are seeking social equality; all they want is to be permitted to attend the same schools, have the same teachers and be given the same instruction as other children. There are lots of schools in Kansas now teachers white children that colored children are inferior to them and that the Negro is more or less inhuman; but when they are all taught together the white children will know it is false and that there are as fine bians in colored children as in anybody and that they only need the proper training. We hope the legislature will put an end to these anti-black laws that are trying to be forced upon the people of Kansas. If the colored people of Galena unanimously denied that they have a separate school, then if the taxpayers of that county wanted to grant that wish it would be up to them and no one else, but if any one citizen or any set of citizens try to force people to do that which is wrong, such action will not be countenanced by upright people in any part of the country. This is Kansas, not Georgia, and people who come here must respect her laws or move out. To the Honorable Arthur Capper, Governor of Kansas: Whereens, There is now pending in the Senate a bill, known as House Bill No. 63, providing that cities of the second class be given the option of voting on the proposition of providing separate schools for colored children; and. Whereas, This bill is now held up and probably doomed to defeat by the vote of four senators in committee, who are thus enabled to defeat the manifest wishes of a large majority of our citizens living in cities of the second class, the wishes of a majority of the House of Representatives, where the bill passed by a vote of better than three to one, and, we believe, the wishes of a majority of the Senate, and, we hope, the honest wishes of yourself, the governor of our state; now, therefore we, the citizens of Galena Kansas, in mass meeting assembled, do most earnestly Petition you, our governor, to give this bill the great weight of your active personal support, in order that your political career, so full of the vital accomplishments in the past and of names for the future, not be unaided by the school, not be large body of our public officers offered to you, to the supreme school, to the grand school, to the school it has been given a wish, as known by the fact that it is used in very first class city in the state, as provided by law, and in majority of second class cities under conditions where, if there were any serious objections raised by the moral people it could be abolished at any time. The children of both pieces are benefited by the separation and it is doubtful if the colored people in any second class city now using the system could be prevented upon to return to the mixed schools, except under the whip of race prejudice wielded by some radical of their own race, which element, unfortunately, is well represented in Galens. We assure you that there is nothing political in this movement, but it represents the wishes of the better element of all political parties of our cities and, we believe, of every second class city in the state. We therefore most earnestly pray your active cooperation in this movement and await the result with confidence. DOW MOORE, President Commercial Club. DR. A. H. BROWNE. Chmn. Rep City Central Com. C.

Whereas, the bill known as House Bill No. 63 and providing that cities of the second class shall have the option of providing separate schools for colored children, after having missed the House of Representatives by a vote of more than three to one, has been reported on unfavorably by a Senate committee and seems in a fair way to be defeated without ever coming to a vote in the Senate; and.

Whereas, It is a fact that practically all the opposition that has developed against this bill comes (and this refers to both Negroes and whites) from citizens of cities of the first class, who are not affected by the bill one way or the other. Now, therefore, be it Resolved. By the citizens of Galena, Kansas, in mass meeting assembled, that if this bill fails of passage at this session of the legislature, that we immediately promote and form a league among the citizens of the second class cities and any other citizens of the state who may care to join with us, whose object shall be the passage of a law similar to the present bill, at our next legislature. That a special committee be appointed to organize: First—The commercial bodies of the different cities. Second—The mothers' clubs, in order that our wives, daughters, sisters and sweethearts may be effectively organized so that they may exercise their right of franchisee for the benefit of the friends and the confusion of the enemies of this measure. Third—The educational bodies, teachers' associations, etc., of the state. Fourth—The churches, Y. M. C. A.'s and religious bodies. That this league be non-political, but every member be pledged to vote for candidates for governor and members of the legislature only after they have pledged themselves in favor of this measure and to vote against a known enemy of the bill if he be a candidate for any office within the gift of the people of our state; and, be it further Resolved, That every honorable means be employed to bring this bill to a vote in the Senate, either through being reconsidered by this committee or by offering a resolution in the Senate that the bill be considered as a committee of the whole, in order that we may know who are our friends and who are our enemies; and, be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the governor of the state, a copy to the president of the Senate and a copy to the speaker of the House of Representatives, and a copy to the chairman of the committee on cities of the second class.

M. E. church last Monday evening under the auspices of the Lincoln Day club were a success except at the end, when the committee on resolutions attempted to and did press something that is detrimental and disgraceful not only to the people of Topeka, but the race in general. The resolution was offered to and passed by about twenty-five people as a large number of the people who attended had gone downstairs. The resolution asked that the legislature appropriate $1800 to reimburse some supposed people who had spent some money in the Chicago exposition in 1915. It seemed that some parties had organized themselves into exposition parties and gone over the state soliciting funds, which amounted to $300, of which the governor of the state paid $0. Now they are coming in and asking the legislature to remunerise them. We never heard of such a proposition and it seems high time that if colored men want to hold things done they let the public know. We think this is nothing more than a craft and the legislature should not be asked to appreciate money for fraudulent purposes to anyone, whether white or colored. Whoever these colored people are that are asking for this money, they should not have gone to the Lincoln Day club with a scheme of this kind any more than they should have thought of doing in a church service and asking the church to indorse this scheme. The trouble with colored people now is that so many of them are resembling themselves to take advantage of meeting of this kind to satisfy their personal ambitions. Here are some of the this law is plainly shown by the fact that a large majority of the second class cities of our state do now, in direct violation of the law, provide separate schools; and. Whereas, This bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of three to one, showing the sentiment of the lower branch of the legislature to be overwhelmingly in favor of same; and. Whereas, The action of the majority of our second class cities in provoking these schools without the sanction of law shows that an overwhelming majority of at least 300,000 of the citizens of our state living in cities of the second class are in favor of this bill; and. Whereas, We have every reason to believe that a majority of our Senators favor this bill; and. Whereas, It is neither usual nor courteous in a committee of either house to kill in committee a bill that has passed the other branch; and, Whereas, The manifest will of this great body of our citizens, of the great majority of our House of Representatives, and, as we firmly believe, of a majority of our Senate, has been defeated and set ataught by the action of four members of your committee, which is manifestly unfair and unjust; now, therefore, be it Resolved, By the citizens of Galena, Kansas, in mass meeting assembled, that you, as chairman of this committee, be requested and you are hereby, requested to reconsider this bill, and report same back, to the Senate without recommendation, in order that we obtain a vote on same, to which we feel that we are entitled.

Kansas Lincoln Day Club Pays Homage to the Emancipator. (By DINA A GREENE.) The Kansas Lincoln Day club held their annual exercises at St John A M. E. church Monday evening. A large crowd was in attendance. The program was interspersed with musical numbers. "Over the Ocean Blue" was the title of a bass solo song by Mr. S O Clayton of Parrons, who is possessed of a rare gift in voice. Not only has he the full, rotund voice and clear delivery, but there is music with them. The audience not spellbound as Mr. Clayton sang and at the conclusion there was an outburst of enthusiasm that could not KANSAS CITY CANDIDATES! Spirited Campaign Opens for City Offices on the Kansas Side of the Kaw. In Kansas City, Kan., the political pot is boiling. The spring campaign is now on for election of mayor and commissioners. There is a great struggle for these positions at Kansas City, Kan., which is growing rapidly and increasing in both population and wealth, and it beholds the citizens to elect good men who will have the city at heart, and who can be relied upon to do the right thing at the right time for the best interest of all concerned. Men should be elected who belong to no clan or clique, but who will work for the best interests of all. For Park Commissioner. Among some of the few who have announced themselves for office in Mr W C Moild, for park commissioner. He is a live wire and a thorough business man, and has been a resident of the city for thirty-six years. He conducted one of the largest tailoring establishments in that city for years and is now engaged in the automobile business at 810 Minnesota ave. The following is what he says for himself: "In announcing myself as candidate for park commissioner I wish to state briefly what, in my judgment, is most needed to make the department of benefit to the expayers. "We should have swimming pools for boys and girls in different parts of the city and save the boys from drowning in the river or some water pond. "The boulevard is should he kept as that we may ride over them and show them to the visitors without blushing. "The park ground now owned in the city should be improved so the taxpayers may have some benefit out of it. "Every man who draws pay from the city exchequer should give the best service that is in him to the taxpayers, who foot the bill. "If elected I will give the city my thirty years' business experience, and conduct the city affairs in my department strictly on a business basis." His many friends say that if he is elected they have no hesitation in giving to all male one of the best man councilors the city ever had and will devote it entirely. he restrained for several minutes, it impresses have come and gone, but none of them have any The holliday sung by Mrs. Preston Tollert is something out of the ordinary and we very much enjoyed by all, was the instrumental section by Mr. Malcolm K. Griffith, who is an artist at the piano. The first speaker of the evening was the president, Judge I. F. Bradley, who delivered his annual address, the theme of which was the shaping of ideals. He said that the work of a truly great man is the ability to form for himself ideals contrary to the environment in which he lived. Judge Bradley was followed by Hon. H I Monroe, who made a short, impressive address saying that he was confident us to the future of the race if we would continue our patience and our trust in God, and when the question should be asked, "What of the night?" it could be truthfully said, "The morning cometh." The Rev. J. R. Ransom spoke of the noble life of John Brown and how the white man of today failed to exemplify it and was not giving the Negro man's chance in life. He admonished the race to stand up for their rights, even though standers must mean to fight to use the ballot as a weapon of defense in the struggle for national rights. The principal number of the meeting was Prof. Inman E. Page, former president of Lincoln Institute, later of Lindenston University, and now president of Western College of Macon, Mo. Prof. Page is well known as an educator and lecturer and his address was a masterpiece. He paid a glowing tribute to the life of Lincoln and also discussed the situation that confronted the people who were emancipated from slavery by the proclamation of 1653. He probed in his speech that the white man's extremity was the black man's opportunity by the enlistment of colored soldiers in the late Civil war only after it was seen that such was absolutely necessary; by the freeing of slaves in the Northern states because they could not be used advantageously, and now, with reference to the present exigues of the Southern Negroes to Eastern and Northern cities, said they were being welcomed and provisions made for their admittance into labor unions because so many forefighters had gone to their native countries to take part in the war and laborers are in demand. After the program various committees were appointed and officers for the ensuing year were elected. Price $1.50 Per Year. to seeing that the city gets what it deserves. For Member of School Board. Mr. David Friedman, who conducts one of the most successful dry goods establishments at Kansas City, Kan., at 54 North James street, and who served on the board of education for twelve years, announces himself as a candidate for re-election. He is a man who believes in fair play and in having good school houses and good teachers. He is a tireless worker and has given much valuable time and service to the school board for practically nothing, as he is interested in seeing Kansas City grow, and believes the education of the youth is the only road to good citizenship and good government. He is not only a friend to the working men, but he believes in giving them good wages and a chance to educate their children. For Commissioner of Water and Mr. L. H. Chapman, the Chesterfieldian of Kansas City, Kan., a thorough business man and a master of water and light, is a candidate for re-election for commissioner of that department, and has no opposition. So thoroughly has he manipulated the water and light plant that Kansas City is now the beacon light of the world along that line. There are cities in all parts of the United States now pointing to Kansas City as a place where water and light are furnished to the people practically at cost and within the reach of everybody, the poor and rich alike, while in other cities electric light and water are luxuries. Mr. Chapman has certainly built a great reputation for Kansas City on that proposition, and as an authority on light and water is kept continually busy answering letters from other cities which are trying to emulate Kansas City, Kan. He is fast developing into a statesman. Everybody is for Mr. Chapman for re-election as commissioner of water and light. For Commissioner of Finance, Mr. Gerald D. Little, a very fine young business gentleman, is a candidate for re-election for a second term as commissioner of finance, and is entitled to re-election from the fact that he has made Kansas City one of the finest commissioners the city ever had; not only that, but he has insisted on seeing Kansas City grow. He is a young man full of push and energy and his friends are legion. He keeps an eagle eye over the finances of Kansas City and the revenue and stocks and bonds are carefully considered, and he collects every cent that it gets into the treasury and is properly expended. Although he is thirty two years of age, he has the appearance of a man of twenty-two. To show how popular he is, his majority was 11,000 over his components at the last election. He has worked with a number of hand and police officers to help him to make an appointment to office. He will look after the business and treat people that should be treated. Mr. Howard Payne, city clerk in that department, is a young man who is loved by everybody in Kansas City, and he, with Mr. Little, make a strong team that can not be headed off, from the fact that they do business on business principles and are honest, upright and straightforward and having nothing to fear. Kansas City, Kan., can do no better than to keep young men like these at the front. Let them grow up in the business and with that wonderful experience they can be of great service to the public. Mr. Little is a very fine young man to meet, is affable and kind, and takes great pleasure in explaining the city's finances and how the business is conducted, and it would be an education to the taxpayers if they would once in awhile call upon him and find out how their money is being expended. Messrs. Chude and Benj, Jones of Fort Smith were among the afternoon guests of Mrs. R. Mack-Caldwell and Miss Harel A. Muck Sunday. After attending an interesting conference at Little Rock and spending two delightful weeks at his home in June Bluff, Dr. Saxton, pastor of Mt Olive M E. church, has returned to take up his year's work. Mrs. Carl Wade, who has been ill at her home on Sycamore street, is reported impaired. Miss Elrudin Steele, after having spent several delightful months in Memphis, Tenn., is home again. Her stay is indefinite. Mr. Charles Walters, who was taken very suddenly ill last week, was removed to Snarks Memorial hospital for an operation. A special program to commemorate the life of Richard B. Allen was rendered Wednesday evening, Feb. 11. Lincoln and Douglas will form the theme for Thursday and Friday nights. Milton Walker Booker, the "Little Sunshine Lulu" most collectively addressed an audience at Mt Olive M. E. church last Sunday morning. He was literate to an inspiration to all. Despite the incessance of the weather an appreciative audience heard her the same evening at Home Baptist church. He represents a noble cause and highly deserves the praise that follows her everywhere. BSPABLIBHED IN 18¥8, —— GICK CHILES . . .
