The Topeka Plaindealer The Plaindealer Man Will Visit Towns in Kansas and Colorado Next Week----Please Be Ready to "Pay Off" --- Citizen of From In dem neue Fifth barb Louis ol street at M E drun lon no r Cuba the parm To the mar ind ization No after calle ers imp a hi of c I'd chese with each nature tho- field child around eyes- And in p kind with BLACKS IN SILENT PROTEST PARADE Citizens Deprived by Trick of Citizenship Hold Demonstration Against Cruelty and Injustice. From the New York Call. In the midst of America's war for democracy 5,000 Negroes found it necessary yesterday to march down Fifth avenue as a protest against the barbarieties, such as those at East St. Louis, practiced against them in this land of the free. The parade started promptly at 1 o'clock from 59th street and Fifth avenue, and ended at Madison Square. Except for the beating of muffled drums at the head of the male division of the silent protest, there was no music. Two American flags, one Cuban flag and a British flag were the national emblems carried by the paraders. Trum, trum, trum-trum-trum, beat the muffled drums as the Negroes marched down the avenue in silent indictment of the white man's civilization. Not a word was spoken as rank after rank swung past, in step that called to mind a procession of mounters and at the same time gave the impression of outraged dignity, with a hint of power to repair the wrongs of centuries. Little Tots March. First came little girls, tiny tots, dressed in white and holding hands with childish friendliness, but on each little face was stamped an unnatural grivity. As one watched those little children visions of green fields strewn with daisies and merry children holding hands in ring-around-the-roses sprang before the eyes—childhood in all its happiness. And the Negro children marched on in protest at the murder it their kind. In their midst walked a boy with a sign, "Thou shalt not kill." Next, rank after rank, came women dressed in white, some in the first flush of young womanhood, with firm step and head erect, and some in the scar and yellow leaf of old age, with tottering steps, bowed with the weight of years and eyes sad with the sorrows of their race. In front matched a boy bearing a sign, "Color, Blood and Suffering Have Made Us One." Then came the men, erect, dignified and manly. Working men, they were, conscious of the justice of their cause without one trace of bitterness or hatred. The personification of self-reliance. Entirely absent was the servility which prejudice has dubbed the outstanding characteristics tic of the Negro race. Here were men availed to the consciousness of the power and potentialities of their race, physically splendid specimens of humanity. No baggadot marked their hearing, no evidence of the childish love of show that their exploiters have spoken so much about; no trace of anything that would mark them as an inferior race. Silently and in perfect alignment these citizens, deprived by every trick of their citizenship, gave the lie to the accepted statements of race superiority by which the white man has attempted to justify his treatment of his colored brother. No collection of men could make a better showing than did these colored men in their silent manen. Educators in Line. At the head of the parade were many men prominent in educational fields. Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, Rev. Bishop, Daniels and Martin followed the drums. At intervals throughout the parade automobile bore doctors and nurses, but, by judicious halts, the marchers, including the tiny tots, completed the journey from 59th street to Madison Square without mischap. No trouble attended the parade. As early as noon many Negroes had gathered along the line of march. As the parade swung down Fifth avenue the Negro sightseers applauded, but there was little or no applause from the white people who saw the protest. The steps of the public library at 12nd street were filled. Several members of the Union League club watched the parade, but an old Negro servitor was allotted a private balcony from which to see the marchers pass. During the time that the parade marched by the clubhouse no flares were displayed from it, but immediately after it had passed that point the allied flags were flung to the breace. Banners Are Carried. Four mounted policemen, followed by four drummers, headed the procession. Behind them marched the colored women and children, with the men braving up the rear. Many of the paraders carried banners with varing inscriptions on them. An aged Negro who watched them march by wore a G. A. R. button on his coat. At the head of the men's division a banner was carried with an inscription from the Declaration of Independence which was crossed out --- Nineteenth Year. No. 34 --- Little Tots March Men Are Digified. Educators in Live. with a notice at the bottom which read, "All of African descent tear off this corner." The inscription from the Declaration said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created free and equal." Some of the Signs. Here are some of the signs which the paraders carried: "If fault is to be found with our color, blame God and yourselves." color, blush God and yourselves. "India is abolishing caste; America is adopting it." "Make America safe for democracy." "Are Memphis and Waco centers of American culture?" "Taxation without representation is tyranny. (The Negro pays poll taxes down South, but is not allowed to vote.)" "Patriotism and loyalty presuppose protection and liberty." "Repelled by the unions, we are condemned as scabs." "Pray for the Lady Macbeths of East St. Louis." "We are maligned as lazy, and murdered when we work." On many of the other banners were details of the services which the Negro race has performed during the various cites which have faced the American people, including the Civil and the Spanish-American wars. Why They Marched. The parade was arranged by a number of Negro preachers, among whom was the Rev. Charles Martin, who recently issued a statement explaining "Why We Marche." This statement was summed up in the first paragraph, which read: "We march because, by the grace of God and the force of truth, the dangerous and tampering walls of prejudice and inhuman justice must fall." THE KANSAS CITY STREET CAR STRIKE Public Service Corporations Should Receive the Protection of the Law. The Topeka Plaindealer is proud that the Kansas City Railways Company of Kansas City, Mo., has the courage to stand up and combat the demand made by the Street Railway Employees union to only recognize men who belong to that union. The company for years has had an open shop and it would be an injustice to the many hundreds of men who work for the company and who are not members of the union to be barred from working because they happen not to belong to the union. The city governments of both Kansas Cities have failed to do their duty in not giving the street car company and its employees the proper protection of life and property. They have surrendered to the hoodlums and lawless element of the two cities. If three thousand men are to control two hundred thousand people and discomode them in every way possible, then it is no use for law and officers or anyone trying to do business of any kind in Kansas City. The business houses and everything may as well surrender and quit. The street car company has always been fair and has built up Kansas City to where she now has the reputation of being one of the greatest cities in the United States. Taking into consideration the fact that this company allows a person to ride twenty miles for a model and each employee is well paid, and the company has offered to substitute and take back all men who quit work, we see no reason why they should be allowed to block the progress of the company and the people of that great city. We hope the United States court will take charge of the matter and see that the street cars run. If this lawless cement is allowed to control things it will not be long before Kansas City will be biting, murdering and destroying property and human life, and it will not be a fit or safe place for decent people to live in or visit, let the strikers either go to work or quit. PAOLA, KAN. Mrs. Sarah Means, formerly of this city, died last week in Chicago, where she has been residing for the past seven years. She leaves a number of relatives and a host friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Means was a good Christian mother and was loved and admired by all who knew her.

Belleville, Ill., Aug. 14.—Sixty-eight indictments against 105 persons, the charges including murder, arson, conspiracy, rioting and assault to murder, were returned by the grand jury here today which has been investigating the race riots in East St. Louis, July 1 to 3. A special report accompanying the indictments goes into the history of the riots and gives what is believed to have been conditions causing the trouble and recommending remedies to prevent such lawlessness in the future. The grand jury's report follows, in part: "It is the belief of the members of the ground jury that while we have not apprehended all the participants in the East St. Louis riots—to do no comprehends a task of such magnitude as to render it impossible—we do believe that the indictments include all the mob leaders. "But we do not believe our duty ended with this. East St. Louis was visited by one of the worst race riots in history; a siege of murder, brutality, arson and other crimes hitherto of such a loathsome character as to challenge belief. But is now doubly so because, after hearing all evidence, we believe the riots—at least the occurrences which led up to them—were deliberately plotted. Indolent public officials heard the rumblings, but, overawed by cowardly inclinations, remained inactive. In the interim the intigues went on, culminating in massacres and crimes in our able as well is unthinkable. We further believe that the hand of a strong and fearless public official could have restrained these utropities. "We have found it obligatory to indict the lieutenant of police. Twenty-one Negroes who poured a fusilade of bullet shots at a number of policemen, murdering two of them, have been similarly dealt with, along with many others. "We believe that the riot was caused by a propaganda of intolerance races were taught to have for each other." DEATRICE, NEB.

This is what Congressman Anthony says in his Leavenworth Times: "It is noticed that very few of the colored boys drafted are asking for exemption. As a rule they want to go and it will not be their fault if the United States does not make a good showing on the European battlefields. The colored troops have been in every war which the United States has had and they always fought well. The first man killed in the Revolutionary war was Crispus Attica, a colored man. Though receiving but little encouragement and kept in the background, there were colored men in the War of 1812 who rendered excellent service. Against the earliest protest of a large part of the people of the North, President Lincoln authorized the formation of Negro regiments in the Civil war and they fought with an abandon and courage that astonished the world. It was a Negro regiment that saved the day at San Juan Hill during the Sapadh-American war and it was Negro soldiers that gathered about Captain Boyd at Carrizal and with scorn of death joked while they fought against many times their number, refusing to desert their white officers while there was a hope of getting them out alive. With such a record as this to their credit, can anyone understand why the administration is discouraging the admission of Negroes into our army?" C O D Y ' S BLUFF, OKLA.

It looks very suspicious to us that he should be selected at this crucial time to be examined and it strikes us that the matter was prearranged by the South, as the South does not want colored men in the army and is doing everything in its power to get rid of those who are in authority. If this matter of high blood pressure was taken up and applied to all officers in the army there would be but few left. This blood pressure is all sham and fake and seems to be prevalent among men, and if this is WHEN IN OMAHA STOP AT THE PATTON HOTEL N. P. PATTON, Prop.

Colonel Young has shown no symptoms of sickness of any kind, and these white officers knew that if there was a way to get rid of him the easiest way would be to test his blood pressure. It is all right, though; if the white man wants the honor of fighting Germany, let him do so. The colored men can remain here and till the soil and protect the families who are left behind. One thing we can say of Colonel Young is that he was retired with honor. SOUTH "DUCKS" TH EDRAFT. We note from the press dispatcher that the Southern white people are dodging the draft proposition. They do not seem to want to go to war with Germany, but if they were called upon to lynch a Negro or a Jew they would all be ready and in first class shape, but now they are dodging the responsibility of defending the honor of this country and at the same time are controlling the army and navy. It is a disgrace to have these Southern people in control, when they are in the minority and are contributing less money and men to this war than any other section of the country. They have proved now to be a lot of cowards and are running like rabbits when the government has called upon them to defend the honor of this country. Oh, what a shame and disgrace you Southern white people are to this American continent! HUTCHINSON, KAN. Prof. West and Dr. King of Wichita gave splendid talks at the Bethel A. M.

L. Sponsler, secretary of the Kansas State Fair at Hutchinson, is preparing to give the public a big treat this season. He has erected a new agricultural building. This is the sixteenth year that Mr. Sponsler has been secretary, and he was president for one year; in fact, he was the founder of this great organization. A few years ago no one would have thought that he, in company with a few business men of Hutchinson, could succeed in turning down Topeka and Wichita, and making Hutchinson the headquarters of the official state fair for the great state of Kansas and the West. Hutchinson can be proud of men like Mr. Sponsler and Senator Carey, for they have certainly done much to make Hutchinson the city she is today. The state fair is always good and people go from all over the country to attend it. The accommodations are good and visitors are treated kindly; hotel rates are reasonable. In fact, Mr. Sponsler and the fair association do not allow anyone to be robbed or grafted upon; everybody gets a square deal. So get read to visit the state fair at Hutchinson, September 15 to 22.
