The Topeka Plaindealer Nineteenth Year. No. 26 DR. B. F. ALLEN, PRFSID (b) The industrial work with the exception of agriculture is very good. (c) The academic work is good. (d) The teachers are well qualified. (e) The administration is efficient and economic. 6. For the improvement of the school we offer the following recommendations: (a) To improve the work in agriculture a competent Negro farm expert should be put in charge of the entire sixty nine farm under the direct management of the president of the school. (b) The real work of the school should be given more wholesome publicity. This In the Governor's Explanation of the Declan. Dear Mr. Allen: Governor Goodner has read with interest your letter of recent date, together with enclosures. The governor compliments you and sees no reason why your work should not be allowed to continue. Secretary to the Governor. What They Say About Allen. (From the Daily Capital-News.) Editor Capital-News. The announcement was made in one of our local papers last Saturday that the board of regen. of Lincoln Institute had not so far been able to elect a faculty and that politicians had succeeded in defending the re-election of President B. F. Allen. I confess the announcement awakened not only my surprise, but something more—something bordering on indignation. Reading further we learned that a Negro politician at Kansas City has been active in opposing President Allen on the ground that he is a Republican. Any ground of opposition more prejudices than that can not be well observed, and any more effective way to wreck the good name and good work of this successful and valuable institution has not yet made its announcement. If petty and pernicious politics are henceforth to dominate in the management of this highly important institution no more colour than can befit it, and the ones of its best friends will surely offer delicious advice. The truth is, a school of advanced learning is no place for the incompetent and misbehaving politician—let him come himself to the congenital sphere of ward polities. I am highly pleased to say that for one and twenty years I have known President Allen more or less intimately. I have during all these years visited the institute from time to time. My own long experience as a college president and my present position as a trustee in two of the leading colleges of Missouri qualifies me, I think, to speak with judgment on college work and college efficiency. I venture, therefore, to say that all the work done under the eye and hand of President Allen is good work and well merits the highest approval. I always take pleasure in attending the commencement and similar exercises of Lincoln Institute, and I do not hesitate to say that they compare favorably in this regard with the average high school and I college of the present day. Nation" Showing in We stopped at Jefferson City to find out what there was to the report of the retirement of President Allen of Lincoln Institute, who is now serving his twentieth year. We called on the State Subintendent of Public Instruction, U. W Lampkins, who was appointed to fill the unexpired term of the late H. H. Goes, who died last November, and who was a friend of Lincoln Institute and President Allen. Mr. Lampkins appears to be a fine, scholarly gentleman, and will some day be one of Missouri's great men. We asked him the cause of the delay in the election of the president of Lincoln and if there was any truth in the statement that President Allen would be deposed, and were they asking for or seeking applicants for the place, to which he replied "No." The board contemplated making a change, he said, and when the matter came up the board stood three to three, but the superintendent declined to cast the deciding vote and ask that the election be defended on June 29. We asked if there was any politic in the matter and he replied that there should be none. If President Allen might be elected, he could not say at time. He wanted to do the right thing by everybody and did not wait to do by Mr. Allen an injustice, nor the school. There is a rule which the president is usually elected in February or March, but as the governor appoints the regents and the senate confirms their, the names were no sent in until late in April, as the governor had considerable trouble in finding competent men who wanted to serve, and several refused to serve for the reason that they did not want to be annoyed by a lot of book-on-down colored ward beekeers who have kept this institution and all of its former presidents in hot water. No one can has pleased a certain fact, and never will. We will later on reproduce a letter from a colored politician charging that President Allen should be deposed for partly reasons and for the good of the cause of the wild heeleds. We hope the time will come when the white man will cease to allow colored schools and colleges to be football and sneakers for that class who lack or all progressive institutions and progressive men of the race. There is no real foundation for all this mess and fight on this only college for colored people in Missouri, We found all of the business men for the retention of President Allen. It would be a calamity to turn this man out like one would a dog, without some real excuse or a notice of some definite standing and charges properly filed and proven. This board would treat no institution or president of any other Missouri institution in this manner without an investigation, and we believe they will be fair in this matter. Below is the report of a committee sent out by Supt. Lampkins to ascertain the standing of and condition of the school, the president and faculty, and we know the superintendent will be guided by that report as to whether President Allen is making good Report of Committee Stut Out By State, Superintendent. Hon. Ud W. Lampman, State Superintendent of Public School Jefferson City, Mo.: Dear Sr. We, the undersigned, in compliance with your instruction, have impressed the work of Lincoln Institute in beg to submit the following report: 1. The academic work observed, including the names of the instruction and the response of the pupils, is tabulated below: 2. The industrial work as inspected is given in the following table: In addition to the above the laundry and ironing rooms were being used by the girls doing their own laundry work, following a fixed schedule so arranged that each girl has ample access to these rooms. This work was under the supervision of a trained instructor. 3. The buildings and grounds were well kept. The repair work about the buildings is done by the students under the direction of one of the shop instructors. 4. The organization of courses, selection of teachers, the system of records, including follow-up records of graduates as well as records of present students, the length of incubation periods and the general atmosphere of the whole school give evidence of a strong administration. 5. The conclusions drawn from our inspection are: (a) The buildings and grounds are well kept M. H. DR. B. F. ALLEN. PRESIDENT LINCOLN INSTITUTE Respectfully submitted. S. SUBMITTED P. P. CALLAWAY, P.

SIMPSON TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 22, 1917 If these statements are true and the beneficent institution has for years, under President Allen's administration, been accomplishing such praetority results, is it the wise and just thing now to take from his insignia of office, stip him of all authority, and send him like a dignitated commander to the rear?

The following letter tells the story: An eye-witness writes: "Please don't mention my name, but when Conly was lynched one DR. HALL, an old horse doctor and a leader of the band of savages, in the presence of hundreds of men, women and children, unsexed the victim and forced him to eat the parts cut from his body. I am only giving you this information in order that you may let the world know what the race suffered at the hands of these hell hounds." Holdenville, Okla., June 19. To the Editor of the Topeka Plunderer: Dear--Sir Please allow me space in your valuable paper to give out a few facts concerning the lynching of Henry Conly, a colored man, a few miles out from Holdenville. Conly was accused of assaulting one Mrs. Jessie Bufford, a white lady living six miles north of Wowoka, in Seminole county. He was accused of committing this crime last Saturday, June 9. After being accused of the crime Conly took his wife and tried to flee from the hands of the greedy mob. The news spread like wildlife that a Negro had assaulted a white woman. In a few minutes several posses were formed and bloodhounds were taken out from Holdenville and put on his trail, which was kept up until he was captured. Conly had made good in getting out of the county with his wife. The mob that had been hunting for him began to grow tired and was about to give it up as a bad job when the news was flashed over the wires that a Negro man and woman were seen near the railroad by a bakeman on the train. This was about 50 miles south of Holdenville, near Mill Creek, a place where they don't allow coerced people. So the bakeman went down town and spread the news that he had seen some Negroes up the track a piece. Some men from town went up to investigate the matter. They had not nearly to them before Conly was aware of their approach. They captured Conly's wife after firing several shots at them, but Conly made his escape. They took Miss Conly and put her in jail and notified the officers of Hugh and Seminole counties of their whereabouts. A special train was made up and 150 men heavily armed left Holdenville Thursday night about 11 o'clock for Mill Creek. There they picked up the trail again and after trailing him about 50 miles from where his wife was captured he was caught after being shot through the arm and leg. Now, coming down to the lynching, of which I shall try to tell you the facts in the case. I do not know that Conly was not guilty, but I do say that he was entitled to a fair trial. I don't believe any man should be convicted before he has had a trial. When the news went out that they had captured Conly and that they would bring him to Holdenville at 2 o'clock, by that hour thousands of people began to gather. It was nearly impossible to get standing room as far as two blocks from the station. The papers state that the officers were overpowered and the prisoner taken away. I don't want my people to believe a word of that. I am telling you what I saw. He was taken off the train and pushed into a waiting auto and was hurried through town right out to Mrs. Buf- great success, $32.16 being realized. Miss Lydia Johnson and Mrs. Elsie Woods will give a mite missionary social Saturday night. AK are cordially invited. Baptizing was postponed until the fourth Sunday in June, also Children's day. Mrs. Beatrice Moore returned to her home in Herington, Kan., Saturday, after a few days' visit. Richard Majors and Lydia Johnson, superintendents, are planning on giving a joint picnic for their Suday schools on the Fourth of July at Haucke, Kan. The Baptist church will have a rally Sunday, followed by two weeks of revival. Rev. Duncan of Marion will be be in charge. ford's home, where they claim he was identified by Mrs. Bufford as the right man. The moth leader took the well rope and they hung him to a tree in front of the Bufford home. I am told that after they hung him Mrs. Bufford was given a gun and she shot him six times after he was dead. Little is known of Conly around here. He moved here about three months ago and started a crop on Mr. Hade Miller's farm. It is said that he had a fine crop. The coloured people of Holdenville and Wewoka took up money and sent his wife home. They came here from Wolf City, Texas, and had only been married three months. A SUBSCRIBER.

"Anaemia--Lack of Iron--Is Greatest Curse To Health and Beauty of American Women" Says Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author Any Woman Who Tires Easily, Is Nervous or Irritable, or Looks Pale, Haggard and Worn, Should Have Her Blood Examined for Iron Deficiency. Administration of Nuvated Iron Will Increase the Strength and Endurance of Weak, Nervous, Careworn Women 100 Per Cent in Two Weeks' Time in Many Instances. Work Physician and recent talks to and serious con- cacies in the blood of kind of iron you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimi- and often ous, irri- olancholy, the blood from their THE CHILD'S APPEAL Handwritten notes "Mother, why don't you take NUXATED IRON and be strong and well and have nice rosy cheeks, instead of being so nervous and irritable all the time and looking so haggard and old. The doctor gave some to Susie Smith's mother and she was worse off than you are, and now she looks just fine." American woman, I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron — mutated iron — for their patients, but baggy-looking women patients. Pollar means anemia. The skin of an anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, dependent and malancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, determinated cornmeal, no longer iron to iron, no longer processing that have removed the iron of Mother Earth from those impersonal foods, and all methods of home cookers, by throwing down the waste pipe, the water in which our vegetables are cooked are capable for another grave iron loss." "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful sim and tiger to a pipe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food; using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. If you would use hundred times over organic iron in the greatest of all strength builders, if people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run- Miss Ruth Haynes is spending the week in Kansas City.

Mr. and Mrs. John Hatcher and family wish to thank their many friends and neighbors for their kind assistance and expressions of sympathy in the sad loss of their daughter and sister, Mabel. down, instead of dosing themselves with habit-forming drugs, attunements and alcoholic beverages, I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases, and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippie, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood. On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain plaque upon her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxedron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much or how much of nervous run-down people who were alling all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles, in from ten to fourteen days form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit, but don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or orchium of iron, simply to save a few dollars, feature for the red coloring matter in the blood of her children is, alas, not that kind of iron you must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimi- Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author, tells physicians that they should prescribe more organic iron—Nuxated Iron—for their patients—Says anemia—iron deficiency—is the greatest curse to the health, strength, vitality and beauty of the modern American Woman.—Sounds warning against use of metallic iron which may injure the teeth, corrode the stomach and do far more harm than good; advises use of only nuxated iron.

I have induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all of whom have given me most surprising reports in regard to its great power as a health and strength builder. Many an athlete and prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron."

Mine Gott, will you be mine pardner? You don't know who I am I am the German Kaiser, Der Emporor Will-I-Yam. You know I whipped dem Belgians Und nut bullets killed Russia full. Und I'll whip France and Italy Und blow up Johnny Bull. Now all dem udder nations I don't give a damn, If you will be mine pardner Und whip dot Uncle Sam. You know I got dem submarines— All Europe knows dot well— But dot Edison got a patent now Vot blows dem all to hell. Now Gott, if you will do dis, Den you I will always love. Und I will be emperor of de earth Und you be Emperor above. But Gott, if you refuse me dis, Torrornight night at 'leven I'll call my Zeppelin out I wouldn't ask dis from you, But it can be plain seen Dot when Edison pushes dot button I got no submarine.
