Oklahoma Subscribers are Notified That the Editor is in Your State and Will Call on You. Be Ready to Pay Your Bill DOES THE PRESIDENT'S APPEAL INCLUDE BLACK AMERICANS? Race is Ready to Fight Will the Chief Executive Ignore the South and Treat Blacks as Did Abe Lincoln? We wish to call the attention of the colored people of America to the appeal of the President of the United States to his fellow countrymen. We want you to adhere to wishes, although we must confess that we do not know whether he includes the twelve millions of colored people in that appeal. If so, he will have to do as Mr. Lincoln did, when a few copperheads in Indiana refused to fight because colored men were called to the colors. He told them that the colored men were willing to fight for the preservation of the Union, and secure their freedom and, for your cause. Why not you? Now is the opportune time for the President to say to these statesmen who oppose the rights of colorful men to act as freemen, to fall in line for one people, and that is for all loyal Americans regardless of nationalities that all shall respect the flag, and those who wear the uniform under sworn orders of this government. Any public place refusing to serve them for their money or anyone refusing on account of their being colored men should be declared treasurable and the penalty could not be too severe. All governors of states must see to it that all citizens shall have equal protection of the law, and any judicial or peace officer who fails to enforce this order should forfeit his office and also suffer fine and imprisonment; that this shall be enforced as long as the war hats. Mr. Lincoln said this country could not exist one half free and the other half slave. The colored people should be allowed to enter into this conflict without their hands tied. They should be made to feel that they are welcome in all departments of the war, without feeling they are not wanted, and it would be a fine thing for President Wilson to so declare, as he known that the black man is not being treated fair on this war proposition. On bill boards and in the newspapers the greatest inducement offered for enlistment is the opportunity for promotion in the army. White soldiers are promoted to commissioned officers, but not so with colored soldiers. Now, after fifty years of freedom and the sacrifice of the blood of thousands of colored men on the field of battle, there are only four colored regiments in the service of the United States, formed since that great struggle—the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. The Spanish-American war came on and there were several thousand colored volunteers. After the conflict, and despite their mighty achievements at San Juan Hill—the Spanish whipped—the colored man was told to go home and be good, as he was told after the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. This was the time when there should have been organized and put in the service a regiment of artillery, marines, and other additions to the army. There should have been at least one regiment of colored national guards in every state where there were enough colored men to form one. If President Wilson wants fighters, let him call for volunteers to be made up of colored men from the South, offered by colored men as far as their ability will allow them, and promote them as fast as they make themselves eligible. He will have no trouble in forming an army of the greatest fighters in the world. But he must warn the South not to interfere and compel them to respect the call. Mr. President, the colored people are willing to fight for the country that allows one-half the people to outsmart, lynch and burn them while the other half is trying to stone them. They are willing to till the soil to produce food to feed the army, to work in the mills and farms, to manufacture munitions and arms to protect you if you will only give them a chance. We note your last sentence, that all must speak and act and serve together. I hope that includes the colored citizens. In order to accomplish that you must admonish the South, as they will not take that to mean the colored man and will continue to outrage him. Now, Mr. President, we are with you and we want you to be with us, and for human rights. NICK CHILES. Editor of the Plaindealer, Who Loves His Country and Her Citi- 2002. AN APPEAL BY THE PRESIDENT! Washington, April 15.—My Fellow Countrymen: The entrance of our beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and human rights which has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life and action which call for immediate consideration and settlement that I hope you will permit me to address to you a few words of earnest counsel and appeal with regard to them. Fighting for Future Peace. We are rapidly putting our navy upon an effective war footing and are about to create and equip a great army, but these are the simplest parts of the great task to which we have addressed ourselves. There is not a single selfish element, so far as I can see, in the cause we are fighting for. We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. To do this great thing worthily and successfully we must devote ourselves to the service without regard to profit or material advantage and with an energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself. We must realize to the full how great the task is and how many things, how many kinds and elements of capacity and service and self-sacrifice it involves. These then are the things we must do and do well, besides fighting—the things without which mere fighting would be fruitless: We must supply abundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen not only, but also for a large port of the nations with whom we have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose sides we shall be fighting. Some of the Great Tasks. Some of the Great Tasks. We must supply ships by the hundreds out of our shipyards to carry to the other side of the sea, submarines or no submarines, what will every day be needed there, and abundant material out of our fields and our mines and our factories with which not only to clothe and support our own forces on land and sea, but also to clothe and support our people for whom the gallant fellows under arms can no longer work, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms and manufactories there in raw materials; coal to keep the fires going in ships at sea and in the furnaces of hundreds of factories across the sea; steel out of which to make arms and ammunition both here and there; rails for wormout railways back of the fighting forces; locomotives and rolling stock to take the places of those every day going to pieces; mules, horses, cattle for labor and military service; everything with which the people of England and France and Italy and Russia have usually supplied themselves but can not now afford the men, the materials or the machinery to make. It is evident to every thinking man that our industries, in farms, in shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific and more efficient than ever and that they must be more economically managed and better adapted to the particular requirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to say is that the men and the woman who devote their thought and their energy to these things will be serving the country and conducting the fight for peace and freedom just as truly and just as efficiently as the men on the battlefield or in the trenches. The Great Service Army. The industrial forces of the country, men and women alike, will be a great national, a great international service army—a notable and honored host engaged in the service of the nation and the world, the efficient friends and saviours of free men everywhere. Thousands—nay, hundreds of thousands—of men otherwise liable to military service will of right and of necessity be excused from that service and assigned to the fundamental, sustaining work of the fields, and factories, and mines, and they will be as much part of the great patriotic forces of the nation as the men under fire. I take the liberty, therefore, of addressing this word to the farmers of the country and to all who work on the farms; the supreme need of our own nation and of the nations with which we are co-operating is an abundance of supplies, and especially of foodstuffs. The importance of TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 20, 1917 an adequate food supply, especially for the present year, is superlative. Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we have embarked will break down and fail. The world's food reserves are low. Not only during the present emergency, but for some time after peace shall have come, both our own people and a large proportion of the people of Europe must rely upon the harvests in America. Upon the farmers of this country, therefore, in a large measure, rests the fate of the war and the fate of the nations. May the nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the production of their land or that will bring about the most efficient co-operation in the sale and distribution of their products? The time is short. It is of the most imperative importance that everything possible be done and done immediately to make sure of large harvests. I call upon young men and old alike and upon able-bodied boys of the land to accept and act upon this duty—to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that no pains and no labor is lacking in this great matter. I particularly appeal to the farmer of the South to plant abundant foodstuffs as well as cotton. They can show their patriotism in no better or convincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping, upon a great scale, to feed the nation and the peoples everywhere who are fighting for their liberty and for our own. The variety of their crops will be the visible measure of their comprehension of their national duty. States Ready to Cooperate. The government of the United States and the governments of the several states stand ready to co-operate. They will do everything possible to assist farmers in securing an adequate supply of seed, an adequate force of laborers when they are most needed at harvest time, and the means of expedition shipments of fertilizers and farm machinery, as well as of the crops themselves when harvested. The course of trade shall be as unhampered as it is possible to make it and there shall be no 'unwarranted monopolization of the nation's food supply by those who handle it on its way to the consumer. This is your opportunity to demonstrate the efficiency of a great democracy and we shall not full short of it. This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are handling our footstuffs or our draw materials of manufacture or the pro Dr. Bibb Visits Topeka Friends Brilliant Chicago Physician Royally Entertained in the Capital City. Dr. Merwyn R. Bibb of Chicago, one of the leading and most highly influential physicians of that city, is in this city, having been here for the past four weeks. Dr. Bibb, though modest in saying so, is a man whose personal holdings amount to $60,000 and he has an income of $500 per month. He has visited all of the M. churches of the city and been entertained by some of the most prominent people. He delivered an inspiring address at the Taborian reception given by Rev. Frank Wilson a few weeks ago. We are glad to have such men as Dr. Bibb in our midst and only wish he was to remain here. Men of his caliber are needed in every community. While here he has made a host of friends and acquaintances. ducts of our mills and factories: The eyes of the country will be especially upon you. This is your opportunity for signal service, efficient and disinterested. The country expects you, as it expects all others, to forego unusual profit, to organize and expedite shipments of supplies of every kind, but especially of food, with an eye to the service you are rendering and in the spirit of those who enlist in the ranks, for their people, not for themselves. I shall confidently expect you to deserve and win the confidence of the people of every sort and station. To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be managers or operative employees, let me say that the railways are the arteries of the nation's life and that upon them rests the immense responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or slackened power. To the merchant let me suggest the motto: "Small profits and quick service," and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war depends upon him. The food and the war supplies must be carried across the seas no matter how many ships are sent to the Bottom. The places of those that go down must be supplied and supplied at once. To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does; the work of the world waits on him. If he slackens or falls, armies and statesmen are helpless. He also is enlisted in the great service army. The manufacturer does not need to be told, I hope, that the nation looks to him to speed and perfect every process; and I only want to remind his employees that their service is adequately indispensable and is counted on by every man who loves the country and its liberties. A time to Stop waste. Let me suggest also that everyone who creates or cultivates a garden helps, and helps greatly, to solve the problem of feeding of the nations; and that every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the nation. This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. In the hope that this statement of the needs of the nation and of the world in this hour of supreme crisis may simulate those to whom it comes and remind all who need reminder of the solemn duties of a city such as the world has never seen before. I beg that all editors and publishers everywhere will give as prominent publication and wide circulation as possible to this appeal. I venture to suggest, also, to all advertising agencies that they would perhaps render a very substantial and timely service to the country if they would give it widespread repetition. I hope that clergymen will not think the theme of it an unworthy or inappropriate subject of comment and homily from their pulps. The supreme test of the nation has come. We must all speak, act and wave together! HAWAITHA, KAN. Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Ritchey have moved to the country, where they will farm.

Editor Toneka, Plaindaler: An article appeared in your last week's issue from one J. B. C. Jones of Junction City, Kan., who without fear attacks all ministers who wear brass buttons or a high collar, or don't have a job as he has to keep the city clean from dents cats, dogs, horses, pigs, etc., and no church people are right but those belonging to his bundle of extracts, or clippings, gathered largely from associations of the past and held together by the centripetal force of his individuality. His kind, that pass for Christian zeal and experience, may both begin and end in the flesh. If God sets our torches ablaze there will be no danger of too much fire or fervor, but if we simply kindle them at each other's fire no lasting good can accrue. Like sky-rockets can light up and sparkle and even leap to giddy heights of professed spiritual attainment, always come down in darkness, much weaker and the worse for their presumption, the religious fanatics have been showering this kind of debris so plentifully of late that many good people are dazed and staggered and sinners are stumbling into hell over these charred and worthless sticks that once were blazing in the third heaven in other churches, many of whom now ridicule all other denominations as a farce. J. B. C. Jones is that man, and when he says they do not beg for assistance he tells a downright falsehood. Every penny that is given any church is an offering. If he is so holy why did he accept more than twenty-five dollars from those poor widows of his so-called holy church? I am at a loss to know how a man can raise h—today and jump over benches the next day, claiming to be without sin. Multum in pario, J. A. BROADNAX. 1602 South Minor Street. Rev, L. C.

Mrs. Lowry, whose maiden name was Miss Emma Goff, was married to the late Prof. G. W Lowry in 1888. Two children were born to this union—Miss Zola Lowry, who died about thirteen months ago, and John E. Lowry, a teacher in the public schools of Paoli Mrs. Lowry united with the church when a child and was a willing and faithful worker. She was superintendent of the A M D. Sunday school and had made a special effort just before Easter for the Easter program. The large audience that witnessed the program will long remember the beautiful service she conducted.

She was a leader among her people, and the ideals for which she worked and the example she set will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. A faithful Christian, a loving wife, an ideal mother has gone from among us, but we know that she has gone to rest. The funeral, conducted by Rev J. R.

Most everyone have their hearts set on success; in some particular ambition they feel that they cannot submit to anything less than success. That particular spirit is worthy of the highest praise, taking it for granted that the thing they want above all others is right and just. To such as are on the road to success I would say, stick to your purpose and you will very soon outstrip the others who are not so earnest. There are two principles that need attention where success is sought. One writer has well said that "where it is a matter of success, do not look to this man, or that newspaper, for help, but look to your work, and make it of such a high standard that the market must come to you." Let your aim be high; life is too short for aught but high endeavor. Most people fail of success because they aim too low rather than too high. Do not be afraid of aspiring to the very top, nor do not allow yourself to be misled into thinking you have not the ability to do it. You never will have if you think that way. The other principle is to see that you begin at the right place to reach the highest point of success. So many large employers are corplaining of this very thing; they can easily find people to take positions in the office, where the work is clean and where there is little chance for promotion, and they are willing to remain there indefinitely. The demand just now in all the positions is for people who are willing to begin at the ground and work their way up, in order that they be thoroughly acquainted with their work in any department that they may be called to. The world is greatly in need of teachers at this stage—there are so many people who need instruction in the everyday affairs of life. Out of every hundred persons employed at any kind of labor, ninety per cent of them need bosses over them in order that their work may be brought up to the required standard. When the Lord gave to each man a mind, He intended that mind to be used, but as it is often much easier to get someone else to think for us, not a few of us avail ourselves of the opportunity and never suspect that our own mental machinery is impaired thereby. Whether it be a troublesome problem in mathematics, a business perplexity, a family difficulty, or a vexed question of ethics, we can always find someone to answer our question for us and save us the trouble of answering it ourselves. If there were only one such troublesome question in life, then its solution would leave us free from such difficulties in the future, but every day brings its own difficulties and every sphere of action has its own problems, and the man who shirks one difficulty will find that he yet has many left, and if he persists in shifting the responsibility to other shoulders he will find, by and by, that he has no mind of his own. Sometimes this process goes so far that men actually need to be told what kind of shoes and hats they should wear. This seems queer, and yet surely it is much less so than the case of the man who does not know whether to condemn a thing until he has read his party paper. Long ago education was supposed to consist chiefly in memorizing the sayings of other men, and unless a man could give good authority for his opinion it was at once rejected, and any attempt at disproving any statement or theory which had the backing of a great name was looked upon as insufferable temerity. But today, from the very beginning of a child's education, he is taught to reason out things for himself, and the chief aim of education is not to stuff the child with facts or theories, but to develop his powers of thought that his own thinking machine may be made to do its very best work. But when this is done the old fashioned unity must necessarily disappear. When everyone does his own thinking there will necessarily be a great diversity of thought. This is ever the ideal towards which we should be striving, both in church and state, and yet when John and Mary do a little thinking on their own account in the home, it oftimes happens that the parents are considerably annoyed at their daring to have minds of their own. This should not be. The time will come when the children will have to face their life difficulties and solve them alone, and their attempts at independent thinking and at self-help should be encouraged instead of repressed. No doubt they will make mistakes, but one of our surest paths to progress is that of mistakes. And in the church also is it well to have as much independent thinking as possible. Of necessity this creates friction, as the big men are not willing always to listen to the little men, and the wise man who has carried an official board on his back for twenty years does not like to be opposed by some lesser individual who has not yet been demonstrated to be equally wise. In the end, however, it will be found that "in the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom," and sometimes the wisest counsel comes from some obscure individual. This is the strength of democracy, both in church and state. Autocracy depends upon the one wise man; democracy proposes to use the wisdom of the multitude. It sometimes happens that the autocrat is one of the nation's best, but democracy prefers to trust to the national conscience and the multitude. Of course this means occasionally the rule of the rogue, and the plausible demagogue has his way, to the hurt of the state, but we are persuaded that in the end the uplift of the nation is assured. There might have been a day when woman was expected to have some man, wise or foolish, to do her thinking for her; but today we expect her to do her own thinking, and she does it, and does it well. Even when she disagrees with man, she usually does it wisely. One of the most serious handicaps of the Negro race is the failure of ministers, teachers and leaders in general, in the smaller towns and rural districts, in most instances, to teach the people the things they ought to know. On the other hand, the great majority of Negroes are prejudiced against education, and those that would do are hampered by this class. Prejudice prevents, to a great extent, a proper assembling and proportioning of facts; or, should it not be able to prevent this, it is liable to bias the conclusion, nevertheless. One is liable to find matters among a large portion of the Negro population as "Brother Gardner" said. He said that in his rounds among the members of the Lime Kiln Club he found that a "pitiful stat' of ignorance" pvailed consernin' knoleg' ob de watermilyon', and it might well be applied to the things of everyday life. There are so many Negroes who have a smattering of an education, who are in the churches and various fraternal and social organizations, but who do not read and study sufficiently to keep posted on the issues of the day. Those who have acquired or have had the honor of leadership thrust upon them, should read and study Entertainment Extraordinary Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo., Friday Eve., May 11, 1917 Wands, 200; Dumbells, 200; Indian Clubs, 200; Folk and Aesthetic Rhythmic Movements.

Every day one comes in contact with this class of people, self-appointed leaders, unable to cope with the questions of the day, and too prejudiced to study or get out among the people that are up and doing, for fear that they might learn something. I pray that the Lord may have mercy on such people. stop this leak. A great many Negroes who have their children in the high schools, colleges and universities are so prejudiced that they oppose everything that comes up in church, school, and the community in which they live for betrayment and uplift. I hope to see the time come when the Negro ministers will consider themselves independent enough to teach the people the right things, and to condemn so much beer-drinking, snuff-dipping and hurtful practices among church members.
