Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Talk About "Kaiserism," How Does it Compare With the "Ism" in and Around Junction City and Manhattan? Nineteenth Year. No. 42 We were very elegantly entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Love by their little daughter Ethel, who is only six years old but plays the piano with all the case and skill of an old musician with years of experience. She also recites well, and we predict great things for her. She was born in Lawrence, Kan., the former home of her parents. At school she leads her class and it is feared that she will have to be kept out of school for awhile to prevent her studying too hard. We visited the home of the Donnell family. Mr. Amesy Donnell owns a big farm and expects to go to farming next year. His sister, Miss Dollie, is a highly cultured young lady and has just recently recovered from an operation at Perry santarium, Kansas City, Mo. We met our old friend, Mr. Jeff Rose, and wife, who own a nice home. Mr. Rose is one of the leading lodge men of the state of Kansas, a member of all the lodges in the state, and holds office in most of them. It is said that he has masted more degrees than any other colored man in Kansas. Mr. Harry Grubb has the contract for handling the garbage of the city. He raised considerable garden truck NEGROES CALLED FOR NATIONAL ARMY NEGROES CALLED FOR NATIONAL ARMY Government Settles Question of Black Man's Place in the Great Conflict. Washington, Oct. 10.—The war department today announced a new grouping of men in the national army to form 10 white divisions and one Colored division, besides bringing national guard forces to full strength from the drafted men. The Negro division will be made up from every part of the nation. The national guard divisions to be filled up are the thirtieth, thirty-first, and thirty-ninth all composed of troops from far southern states. Drafted men from the national army cantonments at Camp Jackakon, Columbia, S. C., Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., and Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., will be transferred to the gaps. The remaining men at the three camps will be consolidated at Camp Jackson to compose one national army division. Surplus white men of the drafted army from Camp Devens at Ayre, Mass, Camp Upton, at Yaphank, New York, Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J. Camp Meade, at Annapolis Junction, Md., and Camp Lee at Petersburg, Va., will be mobilized at Camp Gordon, to form a supplementary national army division composed of men entirely from the far eastern states. A Supplementaal Division At Camp Pike after the consolidation of the southern drafted men surplus white men from Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio; Camp Custer, Battle Greek, Mich.; Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill.; Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kans., and Camp Travis, San Antonio, Tex., will be mobilized to form a supplemental middle western division of the national army. The Negro division will be distributed for training thrust all sixteen national army cantonments. It will not be assembled as a division until the eve of its departure for France. The rearrangement creates in effect five socalled "rainbow" divisions of the national army to correspond with the single rainbow division of the national guard troops, four white divisions will represent respectively the south, east, middle west and far west, while the fifth, the Negro division is intended to represent the Negro population of the United States as a whole. Details of the arrangement provide that all Negroes mobilized in the southern states shall be trained in cantonments within states from which they come, and that at all times there will be a heavy preponderance of white troops in all states. The Editor's Note Book We stopped over at Ottawa, Garnett, Iola, Chanute, Cherryvale, Independence, Coffeyville, Parsons and Paula. The colored people seem to be prowling and getting good wages for labor, which is in demand. There are golden opportunities to save money and make investments in something that will return to them four-fold. Such an opportunity may not come again in a hundred years, for or soon as this war is over the soldiers will return to their respective homes and have preference for all the jobs that will be given out, and the colored people should take advantage of all their opportunities and become a factor in the body politic of this country. OTTAWA. At Ottawa Mr. J. H. Wilson, who conducts one of the most successful Blackmith shops in the West, employs from three to five young men. He is now planning to open a garage which will be one of the best in Ottawa. He is a progressive man and owns good property. This shows what a man can do if he tries. Our correspondent, Thomas Simpson, in a leader among colored people and conducts a successful tailoring shop, and does a nice business. We had the pleasure of dining with Mr. and Mrs. Simpson at their new home, which they just recently purchased. We met our old friend Wm. Sims, who is now employed by the city and has charge of the street cleaning. Mr. George Pendleton is one of Ottawa's progressive young men, an upright Christian gentleman and has been in charge of the Elks' hall. He has a new home, a wife and three children. At the time we were there his wife was very sick, and we hope she is improving. Mr. Pendleton is a starch Mason and K. of P. Mr R W White is still teaming and owns one of the finest teams in the state. He is making over $100 a month. We met our old friend Rev. Andrew Clyborne, who is still on the job, and is one of Ottawa's strongest colleagues. While on route from Garnett to In- dependence we met Prof. and Mrs. L. M. Peace of Lawrence, who were on their way to Independence to attend the funeral of his brother, Mr. George C. Peace. Prof. Peace is one of the greatest educators of this country, but makes no display of what he is doing as an instructor at Kansas University. The colored people of this country do not know what a great man they have in Prof. Peace and the good work he is doing. GARNETT. We stopped over at Garnett, and though it rained both day and night we found that we had a few loyal subscribers who were glad to see us. The colored people around Garnett are industrious and own good homes, and they seem to have plenty, but as fast as the young people grow up they leave the town, and a number of old timers have gone also. This is accounted for by the fact that Garnett is not a manufacturing town and furnishes little labor, therefore the people have to work elsewhere. Our old friend Mr. Ray is still there as second boss of the town, as he has lived there almost three-fourths of a century. The people there still speak of the loss they sustained in the death of Wm. Armstrong, one of the old landmarks of the town, who had made many friends in both races. He was employed in a bank for several years, and the whole town turned out to his funeral. The town will keenly feel the loss of Mr. and Mrs. R. Crutchfield, who have lived there for several years and reared a large family of children there who have since married and moved from Garnett. The parents are now moving to Independence, where one daughter lives, and Mr. Crutchfield has secured a good position at one of the drug stores there. We stopped at Iola and found all the colored people here working, and no loafers. Our friends, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Fields, are doing well. Mrs. Fields carries a large stock of new and second hand clothing for women and men. She is certainly a good business woman. Mr. Fields is one of Iola's industrious men and is highly respected. Mr. H. W. North is one of the most prosperous farmers living at Iola. He has hogs, chickens, milch cows, and raised over 400 bushels of potatoes and several hundred bushels of onts. He is one of the most progressive farmers we met in that part of the country. He has a fine span of mules, some splendid hogs that seem ready for market, and in his smoke-house he has harm and lard left from 1916. He and his wife are among the leading people of the community. They have a daughter, Mrs. John Jordan, who resides in Topeka. May they continue their prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. C. Williams have completed a nice six-room bungalow, which is one of the finest in the town, located at 906 South Walnut. Mr. Williams is section foreman. They have a son who is in school and is preparing to take the medical course. In their beautiful home are some nice pieces of furniture made by him. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. McMillen are progressive people and own good property. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Williams own a fine home and are among the best people of the town. Mrs. Sara Crisp owns good property and is one of the leading workers among the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of that town. The great talk of Iola now is the rumor that the widow of the late S. W. Banks will soon be led to the altar by one of Iola's substantial citizens who has seen 69 summers, while the bride to be has seen 59. Everybody is preparing to give them a big time and shower them with lots of presents. Dr Basket is the leading physician of the town and there is no white doctor in Iola who can surprise him. He has performed some difficult operations since locating there and the people are simply wild over him. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 12, 1917 this season and has recently purchased a home. Mr. Hervy Bland owns a fine hotel and pool hall. SECRETARY BAKER HAS MADE GOOD Broad-minded Southerner is Conducting the Affairs of Government Satisfactory all the People. Secretary of War Baker, Washington, D. C.; My Dear Sir—As editor of the Topeka Plaindealer and a citizen who admires the stand you are taking with reference to the drafted colored soldiers and the officers' training camp at Des Moines, Iowa, I want to say that you are to be commended and congratulated for what you have accomplished, for no one can realize the position you are placed in, being surrounded by a horde of Southern men who are largely in control of the military affairs of this country and whose prejudice against colored people has no end. We know that you are a high class, educated gentleman and that you have filled the office of Secretary of War in a fair and impartial manner. You have done much to kill out prejudice in the army, not only between colored and whites, but between the whites. We know that it was not your fault that the colored draft men were left to the last, and all this perlingy as to where to place them has been the work of Southern enemies of the race. We believe that if you had full control of every detail, colored men in the army would be promoted as well as white men as soon as they proved efficient and trustworthy. The South has not learned that this government is based upon this one particular clause of "equality before the law to every man." This war is not fought on color or wealth, and all sides have been asked to take part. The colored people want to work in peace and harmony with their white brothers, if permitted. They are loyal and painstaking, and we know you will do all in your power to see that they get just recognition. We want the colored men promoted as fast as they prove themselves worthy and qualified, and we do not think that you would stand in the way of promotion of them to higher ranks if their qualifications merited it. It seems to be a quiet understanding that no colored men are to be promoted, but we hope that this will not be the case. It seems to be the tendency on the part of white people to immortalize white soldiers, and nothing is too good for them, yet they will discriminate against colored soldiers. We think the government is big enough and great enough to teach its citizens that no discrimination in public places will be allowed or fostered for a moment. No man can fight and be brave and defend his country when the majority of his countrymen look upon him as inferior and not worthy of consideration. Encouragement and inspiration should be given colored soldiers and they should be looked upon as soldiers and not as individuals. Very truly yours, NICK CHILES, Editor the Topka Plaundeller OTTAWA, KAN. Editor Nick Chiles was in town en route to the A. M. E. conference at Coffeyville. We are glad to have Rev. C. A Woods returned to us for another year. The next annual conference of the great A. M. E. church will convene in our most beautiful city. Pastor S. A. Walliams is visiting his wife in Pittsburg this week. Rev. P. C. Crutchfield of Fort Scott delivered one of his masterly sermons at Bethany chapel last week to his appreciative audience. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hooker gave a lunchon in honor of their six weeks old daughter. Rev. Crutchfield was among the guests.

Mrs. Glaspie and Mrs. Jessie Pendleton are seriously sick. Their conditions remain at the care of Glaspie's niece, Mrs. Ella Perkins of Minneapolis, Minn., is at her bedside. Mr. Verdel Curry and Miss Carrie Leonard are reported on the sick list. Mr. John Wash is improving. We are glad to see him in town. Mrs. Clarence Hooker has gone to Council Grove and Emporia to visit a few days with her husband's relatives. Mrs. B. Crith of Chanute was in town a few days visiting her mother, Mrs. Ellen Webster. We are glad to see one colored girl on the streeta the first of every month with a handful of bills, collecting her father's accounts, in the person of Miss Freda Wilson. She is showing the public that a colored girl can do the work as well as a white girl can. INDEPENDENCE, KANSAS. The funeral of Mrs. R. G. White was held from the A. M.

Government Should Investigale. Once more the cry goes up from the so called patriotic white man protesting against the locating of drafted Negroes in an army cantonment for training purposes. For this cry to come from Kansas, the cradle of liberty, is indeed singular, in that it is contrary to the spirit of this state. To begin with the white man has so far forgotten the seriousness of the present time, that he halts and lays inside his loyalty to country and flag, to bubble and kick up a fuss and make trouble over the stationing of a group of patriotic and loyal citizens at an army camp for the purpose of being trained and prepared for the protection of that same white man who makes the fuss. Now Mr. White Man, where are they, going to be trained? They are not wanted in the South. We predict if they were ordered to heaven you would kick because you were not being invited. Your excuse is by no means logical or timely. We do not believe that the government is sending troops to cantonments to be trained in the art of social citiquette, afternoon teas, parlor luncheons, tango dances, tete-a-tetes, and other social offerings furnished by the citizens of the community. This is not the government's object. This is a serious business. These men are to be trained and hardened to army tactics and trenewsers which will fit them for the rough life of a soldier in the trenches. We believe Sherman was right in his quoted opinion of war. This is no time for bickering about who shall not come for war preparation. You would not volunteer, consequently conscription was necessary. The Negro was willing to volunteer but was held back on your account. Now you caused the draft law to be enacted, now you make every effort to hamper the work of the government in its efforts toward preparedness. As far as trouble is concerned, if you get a gun and go out and look for trouble you will be sure to find it. It's the easiest thing in the world to find. Anticipate it and it will surely come. Houston got it by a certain class of its citizens taking it upon themselves to bring it about by inflicting upon Negro soldiers, inhuman treatment and disrespect in keeping with the Southern respect for the Negro soldier. It came and always will come under such conditions. Secretary Baker and his army officials have spent months planning and studying the situation as concerns the Negro soldier, and no doubt is in our mind but what they have solved the problem wisely. Nevertheless we believe and trust to their knowledge and experience in the decision of this matter and hope that they will stand squarely for the right thing. Camp Funston has 22,000 acres which comprises the government reservation. The government has furnished sleeping and eating quarters thereon, therefore it is not necessary that the white man's hotel and parlor he considered as far as the Negro soldier is concerned. He does not need them. The government also furnishes equipment for such amusements as are necessary to a soldier's life, such as Y. M. C. A. quarters with moving pictures, gymnasiums, etc., also prepares and qualifies men for the systematic manipulation of the same. The sooner the white man is taught that the Negro must be accorded the same treatment as other citizens of his country the quicker will racial strife be eliminated in its entirety. The Negro's loyalty to the flag and country, which has never been doubted was fired into everlasting enthusiasm years and years ago, not by such treatment as recorded him now by certain classes of citizens but by the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation and by the words and deeds of those who laid down their lives for the freedom of all peoples. We leave it to the South to anticipate and bring about racial differences in view of the fact that it is bred in the Southerner, but here in this free country, the noble state of old John Brown, whom they hanged, it is altogether fitting and proper that such negotiation and disloyalty be wiped out forever. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. Mrs. Rachel Fulbright of Springfield, Mo., is spending a three weeks visit with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Fulbright, 2109 North Third.
