Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Now That Congress Has Declared War Against Germany, Let Every Citizen Uphold American Honor at Any Cost Nineteenth Year. No.15 "COPPERHEAD" LANSDON ATTACKS GOV. CAPPER! Gentleman With Southern Ideas Shows Contempt for the Manly, Christian Way of Doing Things. Every good citizen of Kansas wants to see the Negroes of this state enjoy all the educational advantages and political opportunities to which they are entitled. No one not entirely blinded by party considerations is able to see any consistency or any sense in a Republican, or rather a Capper, policy (the two are no longer the same) that denies separate schools for colored pupils in the grades where they are needed and at the same time provide separate higher institutions of learning that the Negroes most certainly do not need. Chief Grand Mentor Wilson entertained the Tabernacle bolges of Topeka at Lane Chanel C M H. church, of which Rev. Bolden is pastor, last Friday evening. There were over three hundred Knights and Daughters, members of tents and visitors present. Chief Mentor Wilson, who organized this institution over twenty-five years ago, has made one of the most successful officers in this capacity in the West, both financially and morally, and the order under his leadership is now paying out thousands of dollars each year to beneficiaries. The order also maintains an old folks' home west of the city. Music for the evening was furnished by the Taborian band, under the leadership of Prof. Jackson. Many thanks are due Mrs. Frank Wilson, who assisted in making this affair a success; also to Sir Wm. Buffington, D. D. C. G. M., who admirably We are reproducing an article from the Salina Dally Union of March 22 which takes issue with Governor Capper on the colored man and his educational rights in Kansas. The editor of the Union talks like a copperhead and men who have been allied with Tillman, Vardaman and other Southern rebels and Negro haters. We are not surprised at the editorial, nor are Governor Capper and the citizens of Kansas, when they know that this was the Democratic nominee for governor against Governor Capper at the last election, and what he failed to carry out in the election he is now trying to carry out in his editorials in his newspaper by debauching and defaming not only Gov. Capper and the Republican party and the stuarch white and colored people of Kansas, but he is trying to make a name for himself with his associates in the Southland like Hole Smith and others whom we have mentioned. We presume from his editorial that he is preparing to move to the South, where he can carry out his ideas of crushing and debauching the rights and privileges of colored people. Yes, Kansas is proud of Gov. Capper, for he stands as a fearless giant in the defense and honor of the great state of Kansas and her citizens. He construes her laws to mean that all races in the confines of Kansas and treatment at his hands and that no one shall over complain that he used his office in favor of one class or one race against another. The white, the black, the rich, the poor, the high and the low all stand in equality before great Governor Capper, one of the greatest governors Kansas ever had when it comes to human rights. In fact, every move he has made has been for the betrayment of its citizens. We wish to inform the editor of the Union that he doesn't understand what the colored people want in Kansas, or anywhere else. He doesn't associate with them, and when he says the colored people of Calema were clamoring for colored schools he was sadly mistaken. What the colored people want and what the editor of the Salina Union ought to want, is that all the public institutions should be for all the people and not for any classes or races. We believe in the education of the races together, for there all would learn to respect the same flag and the rights of each other. Now, in reference to the individual attention given to children in separate schools, it is all a farce. Any teacher who could not give all children the same attention and service should be dismissed. People who draw money from the public treasury should give service without any distinction whatever, and when dismissed. If either white or colored persons do not wish their children to go to public schools because there are different races attending those schools, then they ought to go down in their pockets and send their children to private schools. The Catholics pay as much taxes as the Protestants, and yet they go down in their pockets and provide separate schools for their children because they do not care to have them attend Protestant schools. Now, if Catholics can do this, why can not white people on the order of Lusanion, who are filled with negrophobia, do the same? The idea of him speaking of the presence of colored children being tolerated rather than welcomed in the public schools is more than we can understand from a man who aspired to be the chief executive of the state of Kansas. In this statement he shows that he is unfit to serve in any public office, and hardly in a private one. We wish to call his attention to the fact that there are public schools in Ohio, Illinois, New York and some parts of Iowa, Wisconsin and Nebraska that employ colored teachers to teach mixed schools. He had better wake up and learn a little something about the progress that is going on in this country among Christian people who believe in doing the right thing. Governor Capper is a high bred, educated, Christian gentleman and his religion would not allow him to do otherwise than he did. The governor notified the Senate and the House of Representatives that if that bill came before him he would veto it; and we are glad that he is a man possessed of such strong personality that he could stand up and tell the enemy, though he be in great numbers, that he, the governor, was elected to stand up for the people and what was right. Had Governor Capper not told these legislators this, they would have passed the bill. He was a stone wall that rebuffed the soft-headed enemies who were constantly distributing and injecting race poison among the white people. Let the colored people be thankful to Governor Capper for threatening to veto this measure, for if it had passed it would soon be that segregation laws would be enacted against the colored people in cities and towns. Following is the Union's editorial in part: Capper and the Regress. Whatever other votes Governor Copper may lose through the misadventures and blunders of his administration, he is quite determinate to hold firmly to the support of the colored brother. The people of Galion and other second class cities are very anxious to have separate schools for white and colored children during the first eight years of the school course. Representative Sparks of Chetokee county introduced a bill in the House giving such cities the necessary authority to carry the segregation of races in grade schools into effect. Separate schools for colored children below the high school grade are advantageous to both races. In separate schools the Negro pupils get instruction from members of their own race, they get more individual attention, they are not subject to the annoyances, insults and other bad treatment that they invariably receive in the mixed schools, and they develop a pride in their own people impossible where they are educated among white children and their presence is tolerated rather than welcomed. Separate schools for colored children provide honorable, useful and well paid employment for a considerable number of the well educated Negro men and women of every community in which they are maintained. There is really no sound argument against regregating the races in the grade schools. Every educational and social condition favors the wisdom of this plan. The Negro politicians and the Republican officials who hold office by reason of Negro votes do not believe in separate schools. Every colored agitator in Kansas who wants something from Capper and the Republican party opposed the Spark's bill, Governor Capper, appealed to by the black politicians who have always supported him, decreed that the bill should not pass. Orders were issued from the governor's office that the separate school bill must be killed. The administration forces saw that this was done. Nor is the governor satisfied with blocking the movement for separate schools for the white and colored races in second class cities. He is planning to bind the support of the Negroes to himself by rendering other services to them * * * In order that the Negro vote may be kept solidly in line for Governor Capper, An Evening With Sir Frank Wilson Head of the Great Taborian Order Royally Entertains. assisted in making up the program. Interesting addresses were made by friends, the chief grand mentor and members of the order. The following program was rendered: Music by the band; song by the audience; prayer by Rev. Bolden; solo, Miss Anna Mae Griffith; address by Queen Mother Emma Johnson, on "Tabernacles"; instrumental solo by Mr. Malcolm Griffith; address on "Temples," by Sir Dr. O. A.

Mr. B having it Although days he with the Owing weather This is the first time in the history of Topela that a grand officer has ever entertained the subordinate lodges. Refreshments of ice cream, cake and punch were served by several Daughters of the Tabernacle. Everybody remained seated while the refreshments were passed. A very excellent time was enjoyed by all and they were of one opinion that Chief Grand Mentor Wilson should be congratulated on setting a pace for other grand officers to follow. He brought the members together and made them feel that he was considering their welfare, and, like a father gathers his children around him, he showed that he would gather his children around him. Dr. Taylor's Address, Mr. Chairman, Knights and Daughters of the International Order of Twelve, Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been asked to say a few words about this great and noble order; great because it was founded upon the Christian religion—In Solo Deo Satur, “in God alone is safely”; noble because its every arm is to lift up fallen humanity and place them on a solid and sure foundation. If I had the tongue of a Demosthenes or the pen of a Shakespeare I could not tell you of the good and benefit this order has rendered to humanity. All orders, societies and governments were instituted for the purpose of making a united effort in a given direction; what one man can not accomplish, many men united can; hence the great and noble enterprises for the uplift of mankind are carried forward by companies, societies or organizations of a number of persons to accomplish a certain end. Man was made a social being, and he must have society or the company of a fellow being or he will drift into barbarism and brutality. He is an intelligent being. Civilization, art, science and government must come only from a united effort. With these things in mind, the International Order of Twelve has formed one hand united by the strongest ties of friendship and bound together by solemn obligations and established on a firm basis for the purpose of making a united and effective effort in alking each member in sickness or distress, to protect and defend each other and to aid and help the widows and orphans of members, and to inculcate true morality, that the members may be an example to the whole world of mankind. The members are reminded that education, thrift, industry, economy and a cultivated mind will open the way to a useful and respected life. We are urged to respect intelligence wherever we see it. The order also advises us to acquire real estate; this makes a man or woman a power and a reliable citizen. We are instructed to avoid intemperance and cultivate true manhood and womanhood. One of the reasons that this order is so great and stands for so much, and one which we all should he justly proud of, is because it was founded by one of our race, August 2, 1846—the great, grand and noble man that he was—one whom the world reveres. Moses Dickson, the father of the order. He and eleven others got together and formulated plans that have materialized into a great and gigantic order and tonight we have come to pay homage to another great and wise man, Sir Rev. Frank Wilson, chief grand mentor of the Kansas and Nebraska jurisdiction. I can not help but think and believe that he is a leader sent by God. More than twenty-five years ago he took the old ship, only manned by four hundred, and today her crew is more than four thousand; indebtedness of $1000, and today her real estate holdings alone amount to more than $7500, with a treasury of more than $5000 at this very moment, Knights and Daughters, should we not feel proud of such a leader. Should I not say Knights and Daughters, but I will say Knights and Daughters and fellow citizens, we all should feel proud of such a leader, one who is unassuming, unpretentious, yet teaching the doctrine of sobriety, industry and economy. We see him ever on the alert, always looking out for our interests. Deeds, and not words, is his motto. What a grand effort we have made through his wise advice and clear judgment in buying property here and there in almost every city of any size in the jurisdiction. He did not stop there, but to his and the orders' credit, you have in your own midst here in Topeka a most magnificent building just west of town, twelve rooms, where the aged and afflicted may take refuge, attended by competent and kind attendants. This property is today valued at at least not at this time enumerate all of our eight or ten thousand dollars. I can holdings, but suffice it to say that his influence for good is felt far and near. May long this, our leader, live, for his usefulness shall never die, not so long as a Knight or Daughter remains on earth. For in every state Tabor Cadets are marching, With drum and life, a happy clapping band; Look! listen it is the stars of Tabor coming. A free and happy clapping band. Queen Mother, here's your crown of honor. The stars of Tabor's hope brightly shining On the tented field. Mother Queen, we are weaving Knights of Tabor, hear the glorious sound; It is the Cadets, a happy clapping band; Over stream hills, and lofty mountains From North to South, From East to West, singing We are free Taharius, a happy clipping bank.

Miss Loula Harris, one of the state's most prominent young ladies, died Monday at Stormont hospital from burns received while trying to rescue her mother, who at their home, 305 Taylor street, caught fire while engined in filling a gasoline stove. A pitcher filled with gasoline was sitting upon a stove near the elderly lady and was ignited. Miss Harris grabbed the pitcher and carried it to the door and in attempting to throw it into the yard her clothing caught fire. Several years ago Miss Harris's sister was burned to death in a similar accident at Lawrence Miss Harris had lived in Topeca since a lot of three years. She was well educated and stood high in the councils of her sex having twice been elected president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and several times represented that body at the National meeting. She wrote the constitution and by-laws of the organization and her advice was taught on all matters of importance. Miss Harris was a good, conscientious Christian being a member of Saint Simon's Episcopal Mission, from where the funeral was conducted, the Rev. Goo, Gilbert Walker, officer, officiating. She was also a member of the Count of Calanthe, under whose auspices the funeral was held. The City Federation of Clubs of Lawrence sent a delegation to pay a last tribute of respect to their departed leader as did all of the similar organizations of the city. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. Miss Harris is survived by a mother and brother, Mr. Arthur W. Harris, a prominent publisher and printer, of Kannau City, Mo., and an uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. B. A. McLemore of Port Scott, who with Miss Sallie Rogers, a prominent teacher in the public schools of Kansas City, Mo., attended the funeral. Under the direction of Mr. Goo, W.

Stanley, ley, Governor. Frankfort, Kentucky, January 30th, 1917. Mrs. Myrtle Jacobs, Cor. Secretary Independent Civic League, Kinsley, Kansas: Dear Mrs. Jacobs—Your kind and valued favor of recent date to hand. You will please convey to your league my profound appreciation of its words of commendation and approval. The constitution of this state was alike ordained for the protection of every citizen in his life, in his liberty and his property. No man should be denied their complete enjoyment on account of his wealth or his poverty, his creed or his color. If the law makes no such distinction, a mob should not be permitted to do so, or to overthrow established institutions, trample the law under foot and to wreak its vengeance according to its prejudice or its wrath. As long as I am governor of Kentucky I shall continue in the future, as in the past, to see that, so far as in me lies, the law is rigorously enforced, and that no man shall suffer, save for crime committed, and then only after h4 guilt has been established by an impartial and authorized tribunal.
