The Topeka Plaindealer --- Nineteenth Year. No. 10 The Problem of t Things Politi and Oth Observed Among O in Other Kansas Things Political and Otherwise! Observed Among Our Neighbors in Other Kansas Towns. We are sorry to learn of the death of the mother of Ben Endres, one of Leavenworth's prominent young lawyers and at present a member of the Kansas legislature. She was the mother of sixteen children, and it was her request that her five sons and one son-in-law act as palefairers. She died at the home of her son in Kansas City, Mo., and the funeral was held at Leavenworth, where burial was made. She was one of Kansas' pioneers and was at Lawrence and witnessed Quantrell's raid. She was a great friend of the colored people and did much for the uplift of the race, and always stood up for their rights. In Leavenworth the colored mule revere her name and saw that in her they have lost a friend whom they mourn as much as they did the loss of Abraham Lincoln, as it was through women like her that the colored people secured the rights of citizens. Mrs. Mump Jowell Greenlee died at Buntsie, Mo., and was buried at her old home in Lincoln, Neb., 175 Sunday. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. C. C. Owens, presiding elder of that district, assisted by Rev. W. T O'Bane, the pastor of the A M K. church. Mrs. Greenlee was well known in Kansas, as her husband was once a member of the Kansas conference. Mr J. M. Davis, formerly of Vinita, Okla., has associated himself with a corporation composed of one of the leading colored busi- ness of Kansas City, Mo., and will in a few days on one a large auto- service school. They will instruct colored people how to drive motor- cars and automobiles, and to repair them; in fact, place them where they can earn money and be a great service to their employers. This is going to be a great profession and his manoevement will be made later. It is rumored that a colored undertaker from Chicago will establish business in Leavenworth soon. We had the pleasure of visiting the Catholic home, of which the Very Rev. J. A. Shorter, the founder, is in charge as manager. They have a home for boys located on a farm south of town, and the prom --- LEAVENWORTH POLITICS. Leavenworth is carrying on one of the liveliest campaigns for city officers that has ever been known in its history. Mayor E. W. Craneer has announced himself for re-election. He was the first mayor under the commission form of government. After serving one term he retired as he did not have the time to devote to the office, but he says he was persuaded by the business men and laboring men for the reason that the city was in debt to such an extent that the lights were shut off and they were five months behind in the payment of the police, fire and street departments. After his election he began to take hold of the depleted treasury and by push and energy he succeeded in paying off all the back bills and all the different departments are now receiving their money on time. He further says that the money that was due the city from the collection of taxes has been expended for nine months and has a very large business in Leavenworth. He is a thorough business man and by hard work and being attentive to business has built up a reputation that can not be excelled by any. He is a high class, affable, dignified gentleman and says that he has no doubt of his re-election, as the people of Leavenworth do not want to return their progress. Mr. Adolus Kirmayer, who is serving as commissioner of streets and public improvements, is a candidate for reelection. He is one of Leavenworth's most substantial citizens and has resided in that city since 1871. He is an honest, upright business man and has the respect and confidence of the community, and has done much to keep Leavenworth on the map. He was for thirty years engaged in mercantile business and made a thorough success. He never failed or broke up or paid anyone fifty cents on the dollar, but always paid his bills and retired with honor and credit. He came to Leavenworth when seventeen years of age as a poor boy, and what he has accumulated has been by hard work and constant attention to business. He has given the city a clean administration and every man, woman and child in Leavenworth knows him. Mr. Peter Everhardy announces himself as a candid date for park commissioner. He is one of Leavenworth's substantial business men and has resided in that city for forty years. He served as sheriff of the county and made one of its best officers. He knows every man of Leavenworth and is greatly interested in the welfare of the city. Mr. Chas. T. Cox announces himself as a candidate for commissioner of parks and public property. He was born in Leavenworth and is now holding the position for which he is a candidate for re-election. He served six years and his friends say he has made Leavenworth one of the best park commissioners the city has ever had. He is engaged in the printing business, which he began as an apprentice when 17 years old. He is a man who is congenial and pleasant and makes friends with everybody. Mr. Cox takes great interest in explaining to those who call upon him for information concerning the buffying of the city and the use of its public property. Mr. W. H. Morton, who announces himself as a candidate for commissioner of streets and public improvements, is a man who devises great consideration from the business men and laboring men as well. He has lived in Leavenworth all his life, has been an honorable, upright, Christian gentleman, and to prove that he is a man worthy of the position, he has held one position for twenty-nine years as forename of a number company and is now form in for the Dolton Lumber company, who succeeded the former firm at the same place, and Mr. Morton has a cup of this position for this length of time. Mr. Morton is a church man and is also interested in the schools. He is president of the Franklin Patent-Teachers association and believes in good schools and in the children going to school, and in the parents looking after the children in order that they may make good citizens. He is very popular among the colored people and has always been sympathetic with the race and if elected to the office will see that the taxpayers get returns, dollar for dollar. Mr. John C Seltz is a candidate for commissioner of finance and revenue. He is one of Leavenworth's substantial business men, having been engaged in the creamy business and has made a success. Mr. Soto started in the business working for day wages and by constant hard work and attention to business, and after twelve years with the DeCoursey Creamery Co., who established this business some years ago, he succeeded in buying them out and is now conducting the business himself. He was born in Minnesota and came to Leavenworth thirty-eight years ago; was reared on a farm; is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, and is working hard to make Leavenworth a better city. He is a great friend of the working man and says that when the working man has plenty to do the business man succeed better, therefore he is interested in them. If he is elected to this office the citizens of Leavenworth will have nothing to regret. There is much discussion in Leuvenworth over the candidacy of "Big 'lented Im,'" who is nepting to the office of mayor. Mr. Davis has lived in Leuvenworth most of his life and says if elected to the office 'he people will have nothing to regret. He is engaged in the undertaking business, and started in business as a poor boy and has prospered along business lines and in this world's goods, but has never forgot ten the follow down the road. He has always made it his business to bury a person, money or no money, and says he has always been friendly to coloured people and will continue to be their friend. He has always made it a point to bury them whether they had money or not. He said that the other day an old coloured lady/was killed by a railroad train and upon her person was found $1400, every dollar of which he turned over to the probate judge. Lorem ipsum notes. While at Levenworth we had the pleasure of eating dinner at the residence of Mrs. Sergeant Strong and mother, Mrs. Anna Taylor, sister and mother of Dr. O. A. Taylor of this day. Mrs Strong is certainly a fine cook and we never enjoyed a better meal. They have a beautiful home and are enjoying life. We were all at the guest at dinner of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Jones in their beautiful cottage. Mrs. Jones is certainly a fine entertainer and knows how to arrange good things to eat. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and will have no hesitation in accepting an invitation from this home when invited again. Mr. Jones is one of Levenworth's prominent attorneys and a leading Mason of Kansas. Mrs. Jones is a fine housekeeper and has a host of friends. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 2, 1917 erty is valued at $50,000. It is known as the Home of the Guardian Angel. There are several other fine buildings on this farm, which consists of eighty acres, and is almost self supporting. Holy Epiphany church, the home for girls, is located in the city on Pottawatomie street, and sixteen colored sisters are in charge. In the two homes there are over one hundred children. Father Shorter established this home some twenty years ago and he deserves great credit for the sacrifice of his life and time for the benefit of colored orphan children. This is a move of his own. We know of no other white minister in the P. R. world who would sacrifice his time to accomplish as taught as Father Shorter has in these twenty-seven years. We want to say that the Catholic church does not discriminate or segregate. They have a method of their own and work with colored people, Germans, Irish and other nationalities. In the United States they have four or five colored Catholic priests who are accepted and received in the churches with as much loyalty and honor as the white priests. The oldest sister in connection with the horse at Leavenworth Sister Teresa Victoria Merronier. She celebrated her eighteenth birthday anniversary some time ago, and he is still active and on the job. The coloured people over the country who take advantage of the opportunity have much to be thankful for. Children are admitted and kept until they reach sixteen years of age, at which time work or a good home is found for them and they are started out in life on their own resources. It is a source of pleasure to visit these institutions and note the great work that is being carried on by these sisters. WICHITA The churches at Wichita are progressing rapidly and have a fine set of ministers occupying the pulpits. Rev. S. B. Butler a young giant in THE BROOKLYN PRESS he pulpits, the progressive minister of the second Baptist church, is inaugurating a campaign to build a $25000 mo on Baptist temple to be designed in architectural beauty that cannot surpass by any church in the United States. It is to be one of the first of its kind ever erected by colored churches. Most of the large colored churches are purchased from white denominations and have been in use for years and the architecture is ancient. Rev. Butler is not only progressive in the Christian work, but he is on the order of an institutional minister—that is, he believes in finding employment for young boys and girls. Not a week passes but that he is finding positions for young people. In the last two weeks he placed two responsible young men in positions with the railroad company. He is treasurer of the National Sunday School congress and has a national reputation of being a Chri- tian gentleman, and one of the leaders of the Baptist denomination. There are now several thousand dollars subscribed, as well as several thousand bricks and other material thousand bricks and other material In our write-up of Wichita last week we omitted to speak of Mrs. Mollie Cox, grand worthy counsellor of the Court of Calanthe. She says the order is doing well and she is working hard to make a good report at the next grand session. While there have been a great many deaths, the order is doing fine, and she hopes members in the different branches will respond to their obligations as she is moving heaven and earth to make everything successful. Mrs. Cox is an upright Christian lady and has the confidence and respect of all who know her. KANSAS CITY, KAN. The Dunbar Theatrical Company has erected a large theater building at 1612-14 North Tenth street, Kansas City, Kan., and will open for business March 1. L. W. Johnson, attorney at law, is president; Wm. G. Lee, treasurer; A. R. Ewing, secretary, and E. L. Smith, manager. This building cost $10,900, has a fine seating capacity, is well lighted and ventilated, and in it is one of the nicest buildings in the state of Kansas.

We expect great business in the Dunbar Theatrical Company. They are now open for enquiries with theatrical companies. --- M. Kansas City, Kan., Mr. James H. DeCoursey is the non-partisan candidate for mayor. He is making a strong fight for that office and his friends do not doubt that he will be one of the nominees. There are four candidates, but Mr. DeCoursey has made such a strong campaign and done so much for the uplifting of Kansas City that business and laying men are flocking to his support. He is one of the largest ice cream and creamery products manufacturers in the state. Chairman Martin, who is manager of his campaign, says that reports are being received from different wards and voicing presents showing that Mr. DeCoursey's nomination is without light. Mr. DeCoursey has adopted an excellent platform which puts him in a class to himself. It is all business and is written in the interests of taboring men and taxpayers for Continuing of Streets and Mr. James Biggs, who is a candidate for re-election for commission of state and public improvement, is a man of good moral training, a property owner and taxpayer, and has so far put our facts and public improvements in better condition than ever before. He is given work to hundreds of people who were needy and would have suffered had it not been that they found work in this department, regardless of color, and he is square and fair with everyone and should be re-elected because there are many contracts to let this spring and several miles of street improvements to be made. He has no other business to attend to except this and he gives it all his time and thoroughly understands the work, as has been proven in the past. He has been a resident here thirty-eight years.
