The North Knows What the Blacks Did in the War of the '60's----Better Make the South Drop That Color Foolery Nineteenth Year. No. 33 Mrs. Amanda Crouch owns good property. In fact this town seems to be a Crouch city. Mrs. Belle Crouch is an industrious lady and owns good property. Mr. George K. Ford is employed at the bank and has been for several years. He is listed among the property owners. Uncle Jack Walker is a fine ord gentleman and is employed at one of the leading banks. The colored people own a Masonic hall. We can not say much about their educational facilities, as we were not in town long enough to learn much in this respect, but they seem to be getting along nicely. Of course slavery has left its mark. From Butler we went to Harrisonville, where we found progressive colored people. Mr. J. R. Elliott is a plasterer and his wife is a capable woman, formerly of Lawrence. They have five children and own good property. Miss M. E. Davidson is a very bright and cheerful lady and was a student at Lincoln Institute. Her parents were industrious people and left their children a forty-nere farm and a twelve room house located on six acres of ground in town. There are four children, and the property is kept intact by Miss Davidson, who is a guardian and administrator, and they have decreed that no white man shall get this property, but it will remain in their hands as long as they live. This is creditable, and too much praise cannot be given Miss Davidson. She is a fine, intelligent young lady and would make some man a good wife. The women of this town have a club which deals with all the latest questions of the day, and from what we gleaned there is no club in this town that surpasses it. They are proud of colored enterprises and colored newspapers. This is the type of women that will build a race. We met Mr. D. P. Martin, who is a blacksmith and has been in the city since 1879. He owns his home, is a very progressive gentleman and a morder of the Masonic order. We'd not hear of many farmers around this community. WARRENSBURG, MO. We made our first trip to Warrensburg, which is a former slaveholding town. The old "Marse Tom and George" spirit still predominates. The colored people seem to have no progressive spirit at all. They have not even a restaurant or a place where one can get something to eat except one a rail place where a young man opens to suit his convenience and carries a small hand cart of goods. There is a preacher who has a little tent he keeps open in the summer for the convenience of the people, but it is on the outskirts of the city and one almost faints before retelling it. There is one barter shop on the town that is do not quite a business. The people seem, as a rule, to be Short Stories Gleaned at Close Range About Folks You Know. AT. JOSHIMI, MISSOURI. Another young than we are proud of is Ms. A; B. Hart, who is an employee at the German American bank, holding a very responsible position at this bank and is doing well. We attended the A. M. E. church of which Rev. Buren is pastor, were introduced to the congregation and made a few remarks. Rev. Buren is doing nicely. He is a man who is very firm and can be relieled upon to carry out whatever he says he will do. We also visited the Methodist church of which Rev. McCray is pastor. He is a minister to whom we can point with pride and say that other preachers should go to him and get advice as to how to live an independent life. He and wife own a Jersey cow for which they refused $100. They also have a fine lot of chickens which net them a large sum of money each year. Rev. McCray has added over $100 worth of improvements to the church since he has been in St. Joseph. He is popular among the ministers and people of that city because he is a man of his word. We also met Rev. Prince, pastor of the Francis Street Baptist church. He is very popular with his congregation and is an intense race man. His sermons are an education to the race along the line of race progress. The happiest young people in St. Joseph are Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Allen, who were recently married at Wichita. Mrs. Allen was formerly Miss Crouch of Wichita and was one of that city's most beautiful young ladies. They are now residing at 716 North Twenty-fourth street, St. Joseph, where they own a beautiful six room house well furnished, with everything convenient, and they are as happy as two doves. Mr. Allen is an industrious young man and is employed in a bank. His employer and other friends gave him several valuable presents when he married. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Essex Allen. The bride's parents are respected citizens of Wichita, and her father has been employed at the court house for many years. The young people gave a dinner to a few of their friends on a recent Sunday and the young bride proved to be one of the best housekeepers and cooks in St. Joseph, and the friends who partook of the dinner say they never enjoyed anything better in their lives. Other young people should follow in the footsteps of Mr. and Mrs. Allen. Mr. E. W. Thompson, the dru-gist, is doing fine. We had the pleasure of having a fine young lad take us over the city with his father's horse and buggy. This was Master Mason Carrion, son of Dr. and Mrs. Carrion. He is an industrious little fellow of about eight years. He has a splendid garden and is supplying the table of his parents, also making extra change for himself. We predict that when he grows to be a man he will do great things. He will probably be educated for a doctor, as that is the wish of his parents. Dr. and Mrs. Carrion have a beautiful daughter who is almost a young lady. St. Joseph is proud of this family. Mrs. J. A. Morton has a fine rooming house containing 40 rooms, at 414 North Second street. She and her husband are doing fine at this place, are among St. Joseph's leading people, and have conducted a rooming house for several years. St. Joseph has a second hand store conducted by Mr. L. D. Perry, who is doing a good business. We met our old friend J. M. Trent. He is still with the big Burlington Railroad company. Mr. Woolson is also employed with this company and has been in the service for years. The colored people are getting better homes and there is great room for a combination of business if they could agree among themselves. It is said that there never was a time in the history of St. Joe that the majority of the colored people got together on any one proposition, and that if the Saviour came down for one faction and invited the other faction to go to heaven with them, they would refuse. We hope this condition of affairs will not longer exist, as it works a hardship to all. We visited Nevada, Mo., for the first time and while there was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Johnson, 606 South Oak street. Mr. Johnson was formerly of Topeka, was leared in this city and lived here until quite a young man. He was one of the best railroad porters in his day. He left Topeka in 1885. He was in the service of the Missouri Pacific twenty-two years and is now employed at the Elks club, where he has been for the past eight years. He owns a beautiful home and takes great pride in growing fruit product, and sometimes has an overuplily to give away. He frigates a part of his land. His wife is an upright Christian lady and their home has been a Mecca for leading colored people who come to Nevada for several years. We must say that we enjoyed eating fine spring chicken, green corn, tomatoes and cabbage, and such other things as were grown in their garden. Mrs. Johnson is an excellent cook and knows how to make people enjoy good eating. Whenever opportunity avails itself we will never pass Nevada, and only regret that we had never been there before. Mrs. Johnson was formerly of Fort Scott, Kan., and is a great church worker. The pastor of the A. M. E. church says that whenever there is a rally Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are the first to put $25 on the table. The colored people of Nevada all own good property. Of course there are some Southern rebels there, but there is also a class of white people who are good and kind. Mr. J. B. Neff, the blacksmith, has been here for over twelve years. He is a graduate of Lincoln Institute and is a first class blacksmith. He has the best trade in that part of the country. Miss Almeda Campbell is our agent and correspondent. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Campbell, who have been living in Nevada for the past twenty-five years. They are progressive people, own their own home and are busy raising chickens and hogs and never have to look to the other fellow for a job. Mrs. J. W. Edwards owns good property. In fact the colored people as a whole are getting along nicely. BUTLER, MO. Butler has about 150 colored people and all seem progressive and industrious. We stopped with Mr. E. G. White, who has a fine ten room residence, all modern, costing several thousand dollars. It is one of the best houses in the town. Mr. and Mrs. White are old citizens of that town and own considerable property at Kansas City. They have no children and their nieces make their home with them. Mr. J. W. Crouch is one of the substantial citizen of Butler. Mr. J. W. Mills is doing well raising hogs and chickens. Mrs. A. M. Crouch is a great church worker and was formerly of Leavenworth. HARRISONVILLE NO. WARRENSBURG, MO. unconcerned about the condition of things. There are two or three churches located on hills, and after you climb one of these hills you do not have enough breath left to worship the Lord. We found very few farmers living around Warrenburg. We had the pleasure of meeting our old friend, G. W. Goles, who owns 160 acres of land and is doing well. EDWARDSVILLE, KAN. EDWARDSVILLE, KAN. We also visited Edwardsville, Kan., stopping there on Sunday. We attended the Baptist church, and must say it is the first time in our life that we ever visited a churent and did not find a woman present. What is the matter with the Christian women around Edwardsville, that they do not attend church? We saw half a dozen at home, and the only excuse was that everybody was going to a basket meeting. But a few loyal men remained and respected the pastor and the church. The church sisters of Edwardsville had better wake up if they want to get to heaven. Mr. J. G. Groves is shipping potatoes by the car load. His brother has a good home and good crop and will make some money this year. BONNER SPRINGS, KAN. At Bonner Spings we met our friend W. T. Clemons for the first time in several years. Mrs. Clemons is the daughter of Mrs. Collier of Emporia. Mr. Clemons is an engineer at the cement plant. He is an industrious man. He was at one time associated with us at Honey-cita, Okla., where we were interested in a coal mine. Mr. Clemons was then a single man, but he now has a beautiful, industrious wife and four children. They own a fine rustic stone bungalow. Mr. Perry Lewis is another young man making good. He has a wife and five children. Mr. Lewis owns an acre of ground on the edge of town and grows considerable vegetables, and also raises chickens and hogs. He has been employed at tacement plant for a number of years, is an upright, honest young man and is rapidly making his way to the front. We met Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Hickman, who are pioneers of Bonner Springs. They were among the first to buy in the addition where they live, and are doing well. They have hogs and chickens. Mrs. Hickman has a watermelon planted in a barrel which promises to be very bountiful. This barrel is filled with dirt and the melon is planted on top, and they will have to build a platform as the melon grows. Mr. John Frost is erecting a fine house of rustic stone, at a cost of several hundred dollars. Uncle Sam's Democracy is in Serious Need of Repur at Home...The South is in the Saddle. Purros, Ken, July 25, 1917 Mr Nick Cillies Dear I friend, I have met up with a very critical situation. 175 with a dot of a couple of friends and I attempted to solicit for service in the I. N. arm. Our names were posted for the first draft. Further than badified under the draft law we decided to continue before our names were published by the local board. We were told that they had received or denied to receive any more colored silk in the arms, time of my friends, recolored a notice where they had men wanted for service in the government store rooms, on applying he was fused the position on account of his color. I wish you would give the colored as well as the white an editorial treat. g to our one. Do you think there is a deal us has into government service after we have rightfully volunteered as American citizen? Please drop us a line in regard to this matter. We are the song of Mr. and Mrs J. W. Wood We remain your friend. The above letter praises that the American white man has not become grouped to the arsenalness of his late in giving the colored man fair play. This government is at war with another country and will some of its citizens have not sense enough to make a place for the colored man who wishes to serve his country first think of it. Two young men rather than be drafted offered to anlist in the regular arms and are told that colored men are not being taken. President Willson and Secretary Hunter sought to get boys and find out what the matter that record men are not placed proper commandation. This great government is in need of men in all the various departments, and when colored men apply they are told that they are not wanted. This is the reason England is in the countryside he is in because he who never treated the colonists would fight for if she had had agreed and treated them like men she Plaindealer would have a larger and better fighting force. We admire these two young men for the pluck and courage they have shown. They offered their services and were turned down on account of their color. THE WAY OF OLD MISSOURI One of the "Powers" Writes in Defense of the State School Law. Below is a letter from the State Superintendent of Education of Missouri, which explains itself. If what he says is true, it is the duty of the colored people in these various rural districts to take advantage of the law and see that their children are properly educated: Dear Sir—I acknowledge your letter of the 11th of July and while I do not care to enter into any controversy over the matter I am of opinion that the time will not come in Missouri when separate schools will not be maintained for white and Negro children. The section to which you refer is not unconstitutional. It has been passed upon by the contens which hold that it was not skilful of the Fourth amendment. I note in the Palmdale area a further criticism of Missouri laws, namely, that when the average attendance falls less than eight the school may be closed. The fault is rather in the poor attendance of the Negro children. It is not the policy of the state to establish any kind of a school, either white or colored, for less than fifteen children. Its law requires the establishment of the school if they are fifteen children enrolled in the district. There are compulsory attendance laws in Missouri which we are trying to offer. It is surely a reasonable requirement to expect 50 per cent of the enumeration shall attend school. You understand I am sure, that if school is not maintained in the district in which the Negro residues he can attend any other Negro school in the state and have his tuition paid in that school by his district, a privilege not granted to white children in this state. APPRECIATES THE PAPER Kingfisher, Okla., July 29. Hon. Nick Chilker I find enclosed $2 to pay up and renew my subscription to the Planktidae. I certainly appreciate you as a race man and one who loves his race and wants to see them climb upward and award, and one who deserves the praise of every Nogro in the United States. My prayers are ascending for you and your progress in day's rest of the years. JENNA McMANWAY P.O.

Unsigned communications, except from our regular correspondents, will not be published. We want the colored people to begin to read more colored newspapers or colored literature of some kind. It is very necessary that they get busy and read some colored literature. We need to stand together and fight this battle for human rights. Every preacher and all heads of lodges and other organizations should advocate bringing Negroes from the South to the North for the purpose of educating them and also to open the eyes of the Southerners, who say that colored people are useless, and the quicker the colored people get away from the South the quickest their usefulness will be discovered. Any colored man or set of colored men who will argue the question that colored men should remain in the South under present conditions are traitors and enmies to the race. History proves that all people who emigrate have improved their condition. The Southern white man thinks the colored people belong to him and will not treat them as citizens, and the Southern rebels are now sending men from the South and hiring men in the North to start riots and try to builders the colored people who are contemplating coming North. Brave colored men will not be deterred by such acts, but will come in greater numbers. The Northern capitalists want you and will pay you for your services. It is not they who are carrying on these riots, but the poor ignorant white men who are employed by the Southerners to create disturbances. Come on, Mr. Colored Man, and grow up with the country. This is what Horace Greeley meant, and though he has been dead many years his work still lives. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. AND KANSAS CITY, MO.

So the people may know, we want say that anything appearing in this paper will be backed up before the federal government or any individual, and should you happen to hear someone peddling such not as mentioned, mark it down as an unwarranted lie, not only on the party to whom referred, but on the federal government, as no man or man can stop the government from taking action in a case where they have jurisdiction. The number two is also being told by the same party that through his powerful influence, the editor of this paper was kept out of jail for skimming an insurance company. That it was he who went before Governor Hodges and succeeded in getting that gentleman to stay an execution of the Wyandotte County district court. The untruthfulness of the statement may be seen from the fact that the party was an arch enemy of Governor Hodges and so expressed it on every occasion. And then, too, between the two villain—being "saved" by influence from such a source and going to jail, we would much prefer the latter! RICHMOND, MO.
