Working for, the same aims and the same ideals as their white club sisters, the annual meeting of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs began a two days session Wednesday morning at the Sherman school auditorium. Big delegations from all over the state were present and the guest of honor was Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley of St. Louis, Mo., the national organizer of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs.

Mary Welcome Addressen In behalf of the city a welcome was given by Mayor Fred W. Cook, and in his talk he said that he was impressed with the fact that in every age and time it was the women who had done more for the advancement of mankind than any others. Rev. J. E. Allen, representing the colored ministry of the city, spoke in their behalf, welcoming the ladies to Hutchinson. Editor *J. B. Brooks, editor of the Hutchinson Blade, in his welcome on behalf of the citizens, brought out the thought that back of all the forward movements the hand of woman could be found and that it was the work of the women which counted in the real things of life. Mrs. I. Florence Green then gave the welcome address from the hostess club, the Imperial Art club. She spoke of the preparations and how the coming of the visitors had been looked for and to by the local club women. In response to all these hearty welcomes, Mrs. E. M.

Moigan gave a fine talk to the convention and impressed upon all that each woman should co her part in the Red Cross work which was confronting the nation a. this time. Each should do her par no matter how little. Only one paper was given at the morning session and that was under the department of art. It was presented by Mrs. Herbert Bell of Abilene on "Possibilities of the Hook and Needle" and when the art display had been seen in the various rooms of the building it was the thought of the reporter that the club woman had already discovered the possibilities. This paper was discussed by Mrs. Williams of Salm, Mrs. King of Lawrence and a number of others. The program in the afternoon was under the department of Clubs and Mollers. Papers were read by Mr. Robert W. White of Plasmont on "Dining Out Our Bits, Not Our Bits," and Mrs. Pina Palis of Great Bend was to speak on "Discipline and Child Training." "A Clubwoman's Plan was the object of a paper by Mrs. Lillian Christian of Parsons. In the using a paper on "Charity," read by Miss B.ulah Tipps of Junction City, Mrs. P. O. Miller of Wichita was roundly appluded when she quoted Rosee Conkling Simmons, one of America's foremost orators and we present the little gem with pleasure: "I would rather be an American Negro and suffer my fate at the hands of the American white man with all his faults; I would rather be an American Negro eating the bread of hope as I wave above my hand the red, white and blue, than to sit on the cold stones of ancient grandeur and feast from the hand of any king." The morning session of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs heard several fine papers and the thoughts brought forth were all upon the outlook which the club work can advance to the clubwoman and the good which she can do her community. A short memorial service was held in honor of Miss Lula B. Harris of Topeka, a past state president, just after the opening of the morning session. Mrs. Washington of Topeka read a fine paper on "Militarism of Women," in place of Mrs. W. I. Jamison of Topeka, who was unable to be present.

She talked for about twenty-five minutes and captivated the vast audience with her master eloquence and sound logic. Although she resides in California, she speaks the Kansai language, and her appeal for the Negro to desert the cities and go back to the soil, was convincing and a beautiful picture of future possibilities for the race. Her face glowing with earnestness and a heart bursting with love for her people, the speaker reached a climax of eloquence and logic when she told her auditors that "bare-back" dresses and picture hats with a back-yard filled C.

Topekans Were Inspired by Eloquence of Talented Newspaper Woman. En route to Providence, Rhode Island, to visit her mother, Mrs. C. A. Speer Bars, wife of our former townman, Hon. Joseph B. Bass, print Saturday and Sunday in the city, the guest of her husband's mother, and Mrs. Sise O'Brien she was appointed by Miss Lynch, whose destination was Jacksonville, where she will visit relatives. Satin have the basics made a few calls and included The Pandoleer in the tha. where they spent a pleasant all hour talking "shop" and other topics. Mrs Bass is managing editor of The California Eagle, and one of the most pleasant ladies it has been our good fortune to meet. She has never been afflicted with that "bee (swell head) which is so common among "our" people when they ate "up." She is just a plain, common every day business woman without any frills or trimmings whatever and the fact that her husband had told her so often of Topeka and Tookins none of his host of friends were strangers to her, especially J. H. B. Taylor and a few others. In the afternoon Mrs. Bass and Miss Lynch were tendered a reception at the comfortable home of Mrs. O'Brien, 1180 Buchanan street, where they were totally received and given a welcome such as only Kunsana can bestow. At the close of a splendid sermon at Shiloh Baptist church Sunday morning, Pastor Hill, formerly pastor of the church to which Miss. Bass belongs at her home in Los Angeles, introduced the visitors. It was here that the people got a sample of the worth of the eloquent Mrs. Bass. She talked for about twenty-five minutes and captivated the vast audience with her master eloquence and sound logic. Although she resides in California, she speaks the Kansas language, and her appeal for the Negro to desert the cities and go back to the soil, was convincing and a beautiful picture of future possibilities for the race. Her face glowing with earnestness and a heart bursting with love for her people, the speaker reached a climax of eloquence and logic when she told her auditors that "bare-back" dresses and picture hats with a back-yard filled with rubbish was holding the upward match of the race and she pleaded with them to cease worshiping such folks. She placed the stamp of disapproval on "pink teas" and urged that more good, hard work be done toward promoting business and education. Truly she is a great woman and Topeka will always have a warm welcome for Mrs. Bass and Miss Lynch. I. S. MECCA FOR NEGRO LABOR MECCA FOR NEGRO LABOR Saint Louis is a Great Field for Thrifty Blacks Who Have no Fear for Real Work. We visited St. Louis last week and to our surprise we found a great demand for colored lion. Five thousand colored men can find employment in St. Louis and East St. Louis. The test did not amount to much after the colored lion came in them—they soon pet the tough-necked on the ran. The daily press forgot to tell about the guns and ammunition that were sent over from St. Louis by the colored people and the number of tough-necked wounded and killed. Several of the factors have armed their colored help and are running day and night. Colored men are being taken into the unions, and in places where they would almost have died to have to have done so. We find in the smaller towns on Missouri hundreds of colored people going to Detroit and other Northern cities. To our surprise and disgust we found the white people only paying colored women for general house- cooking washing, ironing and staining house-between $2.50 and $10 per week, men receiving $1.25 $10, and that raise just made the emigration to the large towns begin. It seems as though it is the understanding in all ex-slaves cities and in small towns and cities to hold the colored people as the slavery as possible by paying them stravitation wages, not allowing them to live in the clean and healthy town of the cities and states. not encourage thrift, honesty, not not stray among them, not do they not them to have a first class edu- cation. The more submissive the proud man is the bitter he get- ting. They do not want them to live in good houses. In most of the Missouri town, the colored people have voluntarily accosted segregation. If the colored men would rise up and demand fair treatment and quit working for nothing they would soon better then conti- tit. Let the colored people in South rise up and to East, West and North, quit the Southern farm- bury those pickerwoods that you are without them—you know that they can not live without you, they have depended too long on colored labor without showing them he proper respect, and we know that if the colored man lives them out then farms they will stave to death. Belgium has been published for her treatment of the African subspecies when they cut off their ears. It happens when they failed to produce a certain amount of rubber each year. The Russian ruler have paid openly for their treatment of the in males. Spain lost Cuba and the Philippines through her mercy and had treatment of her poor citizens. Mexico is still suffering to the ill treatment of her people. Now it is time the South was keeping her just reward for her damnable mistreatment of the coloured citizens in those states which look upon a coloured person as an ordinary heist of burden. They have about reached their limit. Now let the coloured man submarine the South by going by thousands to the North. Qot the faims—you are getting nothing out of them Submarine until they hollow enough. Get out of the South as quick as you can. There is plenty of work in the East, North and West. Let every preacher and newspaper get behind the work—it is a just and righteous one. CHANUTE, KAN Rev. Smith, Miss Beulah Gaston and Millo Gaston will represent Chanute at the A. M.

At the beautiful site of Fort Des Moines is located the "cream" of the Negro race.

Women Believe Work Can Be able Taken Care of by One Organization. Statements published a few days ago that the colored women of Topeka had organized a Red Cross chapter, when run down, proved that someone went off half-cocked. "What is the use of a second chapter, when one can handle the work so easily?" remarked a prominent lady whose name was used as an officer without her knowledge. The colored women are going to do just as their white sisters along this line, but it does not require another organization through which to contribute their mite. A Plaindealer representative talked with Mrs. Cytiene G. Galnes, Mrs. W. I. Jamison and Mrs. Samuel Jones, and all declared that they knew nothing of such an organization being formed, nor did they authorize or want their names used as being connected with it. Mrs. A.R. Jackson and the Rev. W. W. Russell are the only ones whose names appeared in the roster of officials that seem to have been present when the organization was launched, the other ladies mentioned being ignorant of such a meeting being held.
