Lampkins, for the first time in the history of Missouri decided to recog- nita the colored people along the lines of the various institutions that are conducted for colored people. He checked it up to them as to the re election of Mr, Allen and by thi method the very best men and strong est of the race went to the bat for President Allen and he was re-olected. We are giad that from now on colorea men will be consulted as to the election of colored men to offices in colored in- stitutions instead of cheap, dealgning white men whore chief aim is to graft and lower the dignity of the colored men who hold these positions, Lincoln Institute has been in politics since its organization and some of tn dirtiest politics ever conceived have Yeen played in conducting this school, Mr, Allen has been handicapped by these political schemes and not allowed to exercixe all of hia rights.

In recent weeks there have been sev- eral automobile accldents, and in near- ly wey Instance the driver of the au- tomobile has attempted to sty the responsibinty upon some one else. Last Priday ‘pening ® YOUNES ‘wom: an'was severely battered up by being ran over by an automobile driven by a Mrs. Harrison, who not only tried to destroy a whiteway light pole, but endeavored to climb upon the sidewa.k and in so doing maimed a girl for life. It was claimed that some other driver “cut in” ahead of the Iarrison car. What If it did? Unless the other car had struck Mra, Harrison's car and thown it from its course, the Hatixon car could have remained in the street. The trouble it: Mra, Harrison forgot that automobiles are provided with stopping arrangements, and did not try to stop her car, and a young wom- an, {f she liver will go through life minus a leg or two, Some fow days ago our state labur commissioner, who apends his time and the atate’s money trying to estab- lish a system to prevent fools from beng hurt or killed, while out riding im hia automobile ran into a ditch and wae somewhat bruised up. Ife made the elaim that another driver, who was exceeding the speed limit, forced him into the ditch, The truth of the matter Is the other fellow never even touched McBride's car, and further McBride ‘was probably so busy looking te eee how fast the other fellow was going that he was not lookin where his car was going. The bewt safety device in the world is: “Look where pe are going or go where you are looking.” If you are liable to ge! excited when danger nears, don't trus! yourself to do things where calmnes: must prevail. Take a lesson from the mole: He will run away, but he wil never run into danger, while a foo horse doesn’t know and doesn’t cart where he goes. There Is not one automobile drive: out of a hundred that keeps withir the speed limit .They know it, anc the officers of the law know It, too. Unless some fool goes at an excersly speed does the law act, Most driver of vehicles have an idea that pedes trlans must surrender the streets t them, and if they don’t, the drive: ges up his dander and tries his bes to hit the offender against his suprem right—the use of the streets. Tho next day after the Harrisor accident Mrs, Warren M.

Victoria Clay Haley, national organizer of the Federation of Coloteu Womens’ clubs, was in Topcka [att weck nnd addressed an appreciative audience at Shiloh Baptist church on Priday evening. It is using the term mildly, simply to say that Mrs. Haley is an orator—she is a gifted and elo- quent speaker, and one with a mes- sage to deliver, She made clear the fact that union along any line always Fpells “strength” and totd of the great work the women’s clubs had accom- plished eince they have been fedctated Mis. Haley is an upright, Chris. tian young woman and the Natonai organization is to be complimented for thelr choice in selecting her fer this much needed work, and we are forry that Topeka failed to give her as large a crowd us she and what she represents deserved and should Mis, Haley return at some future date we hope to see Topeka redcen herself, According to press reports Topck1 fell below the small towns jn pont of at- tendance which is a burning shame Our women must wake up and he more active in the things that have to do with our advancement, While in the city Mra, Haley wus royally entertained at the beautiful home of Mrs, H.

JEFFERSON CITY was our next stop and we visited the penitentiary and found everything upon tiptoe from the fact that a new board had been organized and were just taking hold and applying new rules and methods of conducting the institution, which we know will be advantageous to all concerned. We also visited Lincoln Institute and found Prof. B. F Allen and Prof. West in charge. The school is now on a vacation and preparation is being made for the winter. A great battle was being waged at that time against Dr. Allen for president for the incoming year and he succeeded in winning out. We also visited the state house and met the superintendent of public instruction, Mr U W. W. Lampkins and was cordially received by him in the office and he gave us a pleasant interview on the matter of Lincoln Institute. He is a fine gentlemen and destined to become one of the country's foremost educators. Mr. Lampkins is broad, generous and strictly business and we hope the voters of Missouri will give him a show. Governor Guthrie is to be complimented upon the appointment of Mr. Lampkins to GW out the unexpected term in that important office. we were the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Davis Mrs. Davis was formerly Miss Henrietta Jackson of Topeka in a former teacher in the public schools. Rev. Davis has been called to Indianapolis. In We also hall the pleasure of ding with our franks. Dr and Mrs. S. P. Stafford at their beautiful home, 1500 W. Belle Place. They have a fine presal brick front to adduce. Mrs. Stafford is the daughter of Bishop Tanner and they have two sweet boys who are destined to be famous musicians as may be ingued by their wonderful execution on the violin and piano. The youngest boy desires to become an agriculturist and we predict great things of him. The children's uncle, Mr. H. O. Tanner is one of the world's most famous artists and is now located in Paris. Dr. and Mrs. Stafford are among the best people in this country, are loyal and devoted to the interests of the race. Mrs. Stafford is interested in welfare work and meets the welfare board jointly with the whites. The most successful grocery among the race is conducted by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Nevens. They started on a few dollars not many years ago and now own property valued at $15000 and it is here that the store is located. He has a first-class auto delivery service. Mrs. Nevens is a sister of the late J. Hume Childers, first editor of the Topekha Plaincolor and one of the brightest stars that ever illuminated the field of journalism. We are proud of this firm and wish them continued success. Much can be said of Dr. T. P. Curtis, the dentist and he certainly knows his business. He is a loyal race man and spends his money and time fighting for the colored man's rights. Dr Curtis is all right. We visited the Slaughter-Gamble hair parlors and found Mme. Slaughter and her mother in charge and doing a fine business at 3001 Lawton in a three story brick building which they recently purchased. Mme. Gamble visited in Topeka last winter and made quite an impression with her hair work. We also visited the Poto College and found Mr. and Mrs. A. H. McLone busy pushing their woll. They are among the wealthiest in St. Louis and are treated at something like $75,000. About twenty people are employed at their colony. They have one of the finest systems of book-keeping employed by any concern in the country. They receive from three hundred to five hundred letters daily, own two pleasure autos besides a three delivery truck. We also met our friend, Mr W L. Majors who is pushing his business and says he has no cause to complain and that within a short time he will be covering a more extended territory. He is receiving orders from all over the country and the people are well satisfied with the results of his hair grower. We met our friend, Mr. Richard W. Kent, who is now operating an auto school and garage at 2710 Chestnut street, which has room for thirty cars. Mr. Kent is a wide-awake young man is fast forging his way to the front in the business world. He owns five autos of the very best makes, also combines a successful auto delivery and transfer business. He owns a fifty-one foot building, two stories and a basement besides other property. Mr. W. C. Maxwell conducts a successful studio and is doing a good business. While in St. Louis we took meals at the Busy Bee restaurant owned by Mr. Walter G. Doolee and is located at 102 S. Leffingwell, Mr. Doolee is strictly business and his up-to-date place is crowded from morning till night. He serves everything in the market and employs five or six people.
