The Topeka Plaindealer NEGRO ON REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE Mississippi Gives Blacks a Place in the Upper Councils of the Party. We are glad to note the fact that the Republicans of Mississippi have recognized Mr. P. W. Howard as national committeeman from that state. It has been a long time since there has been a colored man on the National committee and especially from a southern state where their service is most needed. Below is a clipping: Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.—The recent selection of P. W. Howard as Republican national committeeman for Mississippi has made the old and the new in the national capital sit up, look around and ask questions. Does the old order return? Or is the new order simply to build upon the old? Coming from the state of Hill and Brice, among the dead, and Lynch among the living, Howard declares the wise men of this town of vocal wisdom is a happy forerunner of the tribe yet to come and to be with us always. The Republican party in the south having tried a 'ily white' leadership, and having seen it fail miserably, is ready now to return to a Republican leadership as in former days, a leadership based in no wise on color, but upon ability and party faith. Also, even statesmen on Capitol Hill are not soft lipped in expressing their determination to kick the heart out of the southern disfranchising laws. The one way to do that is to restore the universal ballot in the south. The hard thing to do is not to find white men who are anxious to help the race in its political fight, to stand with the race in its rehabilitation in the Republican party, but to find race men big enough and with courage and ideals enough to take up the fight and on to death or life. Most of the "roost highs" use their shining hours trying to convince big white leaders that "besides me there is no otha." It is all very painful to see a half dozen of the new "big Negroes" together on a political mission. It is everything but murder. The men of other days were real men, stout hearted, not much on book learing, but heavy on manhood and honor. Their names are the golden roll call: Curey of Texas, Hill, Price and Lynch of Mississippi, Pledger of Georgia, Deas of South Carolina, Alexander of Alabama, and the rest. Their successors have no kingdom. It was all disheartening to both the race and stalwart white Republicans when both Georgia and South Carolina "laid down" at the Chicago convention in 1916. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia had the votes and the brains to make him national committeeman. But, playing for "honor yet to come" under Hughes in the white house, he again elevated Henry Jackson to the place once held by Judson Lyons of Augusta. South Carolina had in its delegation seven race men and four white men. Half the time the delegation were not speaking to each other. The only solidarity shown was when the astute Rowee Simmons took them into the DuPont camp, where they remained, though the world was voting for Hughes. A national committeeman was selected whose distinction is that he scorns the necktie. A little common sense would have elected either Levy of Flotence, Fordham of Orangesburg or Andrews of Sumter each superior to Tolbert. Each of those "leaders" mistrusted the other. The Mississippi race men seem altogether different. Washington wonders if again it will lead the race as in former days. The next three years, will see many and mighty changes in the political life of the race. Led by W. B. DuBois, the N. A. A. C. P. seeks to build up a political party on race. Many hold this to be a blunder and with R. R. Church, the Tennessee leader, Howard and others, intend to fight for restoration in the Republican party. DuBois will have the assistance of the agitators, who are legion and not to be deprived. The Republicans will have the silent influence of Emmett J. Scott, the active influence of the big race office holders, and the oratorical support of Col. Roscoe Conklin Simons, whose devotion to the Republican parts is almost as striking as his worship of the American flag. WICHITA, KAN. Mr. H. Boston of Kansas City was visiting in our city last week.

TEXAS POLICE CAUSE OF HOUSTON RIOT Patrolman and Chief Have Been Suspended From the Police Force. We see through the press dispatches a patrolman and the chief of police of Houston, Tex., have been suspended for starting the riot there which caused the death of several citizens and which has been charged to some members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, but who were really killed by policemen who ate a fair sample of the average red-necked policemen in the South, who make it their indispensable duty to declare themselves judge and jury of the colored people. Had it not been for these wildeyed, visionary policemen this trouble between the Twenty-fourth Infantry and the people would not have occurred. It is the duty of the people throughout the South to see to it that decent men are placed in office as policemen; men who will respect the law and rights of other people. Following is a clipping concerning the matter: Houston, Tex.—An investigation into the circumstances and up to the recent riot and mutiny of Negro troops belonging to the Twenty-fourth Infantry here, which resulted in several persons being killed and wounded, is being conducted by the civil service commission of Houston. The conduct of Lee Sparks, a patrolman, is shown to have been the principal contributing factor to the tragic event. Sparks has been suspended from duty pending the final outcome of the investigation. It was shown by testimony that Sparks and Ruf Daniels, another patrolman, who was killed in the rioting, brutally assaulted Corporal Baltimore of the Negro regiment. Baltimore was a member of the Negro military police and was on duty at the time that Sparks and Daniels attacked him. He was knocked down by a pistol in the hands of Sparks and was taken to the police station, where he was held temporarily. When the rumor spread among the Negro soldiers in camp that Baltimore had been killed by the police, this caused to the plans for the mutiny to be quickly laid and the armed uprising followed shortly afterward. It is the opinion of the federal authorities here that there is no connection between the reported conspiracy among the Negroes of South Texas for an, uprising and the massacre of the white people and the mutiny of the Negro soldiers in Houston. It is reported that the Negroes of the valleys of the Brazos and Colorado rivers, as well as in other communities in this part of the state, have been organizing for the last several weeks for the purpose of making simultaneously an armed demonstration against the white people and the constituted authorities. The information of this proposed uprising comes from several sources and federal agents are investigating. What influences have been exercised to cause the ignorant Negroes to organize themselves into religious bands has not been made public.

He has many friends and all hope for him a speedy recovery. Mr. Brown has done more for the uplift of the colored employees of the Santa Fe than any other one man connected with the system or of any other road. He is always on hand to aid and assist and when a wrong is committed against a colored employee, he always takes it to the officials and has it righted. Employees of the Santa Fe are under many obligations to Mr. Brown and they love and cherish him and look upon him as their leader. The officers of the road also have the highest respect in his honesty and integrity and his word is as reliable as the Bible with them.

The musical entertainment "Hiawatha" at the High School auditorium last Friday, under the direction of Prof. R. G. Jackskon, musical director of Western University, for the benefit of St. John A. M. E. Church under the supervision of Rev. F. J. Peck, was one of the best entertainments ever staged by home talent in the history of Topeka. Over one thousand people, the best citizens of both races, witnessed the entertainment. Miss Beulah Douglas, teacher of music at Western University, led the orchestra, which was composed of Miss K. Newman, Messra. L. Johnson, D. H. Beard, T. J. Murphy, W. H. Newman, F. Williams, C. H. Dillard and F. G. Cannon. Too much praise cannot be given the leading characters in the play. Miss Etta G. Moten, who led the Indian maids in dance, is no doubt developing into a fine actress and performer. She is as good as we have ever seen and a sweet singer and her service is well worth $25 a night. Miss Antoinette Young, who recently led to the altar by Prof. Jackson, a beautiful, charming young Indy, played the part of Minnechaha. She certainly distinguished herself as a beautiful Indian maiden and there was no criticism to be offered as to her part in the play. She is a high class entertainer and singer and no finer could be seen in the best opera houses in the country. Mr. Fred M. Ware, who played the part of Hiawatha has become famous as an actor. Mr. Pierre De Prust played his part fine, and he is no doubt destined to be a great actor. We must give credit to all the leading characters: Miss Katherine Barker as Nakomis; Mr. J. M. Brock, as Chilabos; Mr. A. A. Hawkins, as Iaagoo; Mr. Malcolm Griffith, as Messenger, for each played his or her part to perfection. Rev. Peck is to be complimented for the success of this entertainment. The orchestra deserves special mention for the way they handled the music and clearly proved that they are capable of handling stuff with class. We would be pleased to see this organization stay together and in the mean time, the people should encourage them. Not with talk but give them something to do. WINFIELD, KANS. Rev. J. A.

September 15, 1917. My Dean Friend Chiles: Everything is lovely—wife, mother, children and all are well and quite happy out here. People seem happy to have us remain with them another year. You know that makes a man feel fine—to know that he is wanted almost by the entire community. The recent conference held in Oakland was the best ever held on the coast. This, I think, is pretty well concealed. Oakland led in dollar money increase. All reports were fine. Some seventy-five were added to the church here last year and money for all purposes approximated $1000. Practically all floating matters were brought in and settled, in addition to the burning of mortgage for bonded debt, and many repairs. Oakland is again on the map as one of the most charming and enviable charges the blessed Master be praised! Owing to business circumstances I do not know if I shall remain out here more than another year, though from a pleasure viewpoint I wish I might stay much longer.
