REFUSED TO 8ALUTE NEGRO. ee ea ae ae ee ‘White Non-Com, From the Loulaville Courier-Journal. The spirit of the Old South came into conflict the other day on the street with the preseribed regula tions of the military establishment of the United Statee, which says, ‘A Negro who Is an officer is no longer to be regarded as a Negro, but as an officer, and must be saluted with all respect due his rank by junior officers and enlisted men.” The point in question was ralsed when a Negro officer of the new Na. tlonal Army made an effort to com pel a white non-commissioned officer sal tonea at Camp Zachary Taylor to salute him, The Negro officer was Capt. Wil- liam Glass, who was commisgioned at the colored officers’ reserve camp at Des Moines, fa., Oct. 15, and has or- dera to report for duty at Camp Sher fdan, Chilllcothe, O., November 1, Captain Glass has been in the service twenty-four years, having enlisted in Louisville in July, 1893, and has in his possession elght honorable dis charges which give him an excelient record from his commandig officers, At the outbreak of the war he was stationed at Honolulu es firat ser- geant of Co, H, Twenty-fifth regi ular infantry, from where he was ap- Potnted to Des Moines as a cattdi- date for a commission, Capt. Giasy Bave the following account of the af- fair: “I was walking with my wife on the street about fifteen feet behind a white officer, when two non-commis- sioned officers approached from the apposite direction ard saluted the white officer according to regula- tlons. The street did not happen to be crowded at the tinie and the) had ample opportunity to see me as 1 passed If they so desired, Inscead, however, of coming to a salute Ia acknowledgment to the Insignia on my hat and collar, they ‘mmediately looked away, I, as an officer ut the army of the United States and sub- ject to authority, called them to ac count as the regulations give me the right to do. One of the non-com- missioned officers cume to a salute at once, but the other dectinal tw comply, clalming that the insiga'a of my rank were not in view. I opened my top coat and expuved my shoulder straps and he then refused the ac knowledement, saying, ‘I don't salute a Negro.’ “'My name is Sergeant Smith of Company C and I am stationed at Camp Zachary Taslor. You can re. port me if you wish. He also gave his regiment, but I did not pay any attention to it, as I did not intend to carry the affair anv further, “I discussed the matter with a white officer who happencd to be parsing at the time and was prepar- ng to move on, when a elvilian who was present kald to the nonecom: staainned men: ‘You're in Kentucy now and south of the Mason Dixon sae and We don't salute niggers down nere,! “AS 1 did not hate aus authority wer the civilian and did not care to igure in anv scrape, I left the neene f the trouble while the white com- niasioned officer with whom } had onversed aitempted to explain the recexsity of the enforcement of army liscipline to the crowd that hed aithered [ wan not angered at the nan at eny time and Ignored (he per: ‘onal inault as due to race preju- ice, Tut Tem comminstaned 9 cnn ain of infantry in the army of the Inited States and am obliged to ur old the high standarda of the com: nissioned personnel of the service, have offered my xervices to the avernment and will be exposed to he name hardehtpx and probable eath in Vrance as any man in the crv'ce, “Thin ix the first trouble af the sort hat I bese experlenced, aa all the FORMER KANSAS EDUCATOR VISITS THE CAPITAL CITY Dr. W.

If this proposition is doubted one 1s asked to meation whut, besides ‘the ragtime of the modern daace und the Uncle Reaus stories of Jel Chandler Harris, hus as set “sprung from Ameriean soil and out of Amer- ican life." ‘The originality and power of these artistle creations, deciarca ‘Mr, James Weldon Johnson, meld ‘secretary of the National Angocluilun for the Advancement of Colored feu ple, have influenced and oppersed not only to America, but the world Me places the most Isportance upon the Uncle Remus storles and the spiritual or slave rongs to wh'ch the Fisk Jubilee Singers made the pub- Me and musicias of the United States and Europe listen, ‘The stories con- xtltute the only folk-lore that Amel ica haw produced, says Mr. Johnson {n the New York Evening Post, and tne Nave melodies the only folk-xongs, “for in them the nexro sounded the depths, if he did not xcale the heights, ef music,” Mr, Johnaon alka meu- mentiona the “cakowath” aid ragtine and poit.ts to the fact that we nee! not go Very far back to rememios when cakewalking wan the rage +f the United States, Europe wnd Soith America, “Society in this country and royally abroad spent time in practicing the intricate steps, Parin prenouced it the poetry of motion.” Though the popularity of the cake- walk passed away its tnfluence re- mained a fect which thie apologist goes on to examine: “The Influence which the negro bas everclved on the art of dancig In this| country has been almost absolute, For generations, the clog and the die, which ore erletty negra dances have been famlliar to American theater tudiences. Several years ago the public discovered the iurkev-trot, the eagla rock, and several other varle- ox that ktarted the modern dance crate. Half the flocr-epace In the reuntry wus then turned over to dan. ing, and highly pald exponenta aprang ip everywhere, The most noted, Vernon Castle, and, by me wav, an Englishman, never danced except to he music of a colored orchestra, and ha never failed to state to his aud! ences that most of his dances bad long been done by your colored peo- ple, as be put it. “Anyone who witnesses a musical production In which there is dancing cannot fait to notice the negro stamp upon all the movements, a stamp that even the great vogue of Russian dances could not affect, That pecu- Nar swaying of tho shoulders which you see done everywhere by the blond girls of the chorus is nothing more than a movement from the ne- gro dance referred to above, the ‘eagle rock.’ “Just at this point it would be Inter- eslig to trace the origin and develop- ment of regime, but that we must pass over, I go straight to the alate ment that ragtime Is the one artistic production by which America is known the world over. It has been all-conquering, and in everywhere hailed as ‘American music, * “Of course, there ato those who aill deny that It fs an aitistic production. American musicians, especially, _In- stead of Investigating ragtime diatniss it with a contemptuous word, But it has always been the course of scholas- tlefam in every branch of art. What- ever new thing the people like Is pooh poohed; whatever is popular is spoken of as not worth while. The fact Is, nothing great or enduring, es- pecially in music, has ever sprung full-fledged and unprecedented from the brain of any master; the best that he gives to the world he gathers from the hearta of Lhe people, and runs it through the alembie of his genius. “In spite of the bans which muel- clans and teachers have placed upon \t, the people stil] Jemand and enjoy ragtime. One thing cannot be de- nied! it is music which posnesses at least one strong element of great- nesat {t appeals universally, not only the American, but the English, the French, and even the German people, find delight in It. “In fact, there is not 9 corner of the civilized world in which It is not huown, ad this proves its originality, for if it were an imitatlon, the people of Europe at least would not have found it a novelty. Ang it Is proof of a more important thing; (t 1s proof that ragtime possesses the vital spark, without which any artistic pro- duction, no matter how approved Its form may be, is dead.” In eplte of the amount of “worth: less, vicious imitation, Mr, Johnson contends thut there is enough that is g*nuine, mentioning “The Memphis Blues,” where he thinks the munician will find uot only great meladiv beau- ty, but a polyphonic structure that is amazing.” Continuing: “I have spoken of ‘The VWemphis Dives’ as a composition. Strictly xpeaking, It 1a not a composition. The name of the composer printed on the coples is Handy, who i# a negro mu- *‘cian of Memphis; but “The Memphis Blues” is one of those negro songs which, lke Topsy, ‘Jest grew.’ How- ever, that is another tory, “We are all fomiliar with the great Influence that ragtime has and on muy s'e in America. Most people will rec: ngnize that influence on the musicat comedy stage, but not many know that ragtime has even influenced our religious muste, # do not know how many of us here are familiar with foxpel hymns, but if you are, you ean tt once see the great difference be- lween the songs of thirty years ago, mich av ‘In the Sweet Bye and Bye, The Ninety and Nine, etc, and the urtodate avneopated tunes that ara ung in Sunday schools and like meet- nes today. “Now, there dances which I have referred to in passing and ragtime nusic may be lower forms of art.but hey give evidence of a power that v Il Kome day be applied to the higher erms, Even now we need to stop at he negro's accomplishment through hese lower forma, Jn the spiritunts wr slave songs the negro has given Ainerica not only its only folk-songs, ut @ masa of noble music. I never ink of this music but T am atruck yy the wonder, the nilrucle of ite pro: | tuction How did the men who origl inted them mannge to do it? The entiments are eanlly accounted for; hey are moatly taken from the Lible; ut the melodies, where did they ome from, some of them Ko weirdly weet, and olhera #0 wonderfully trong? Take, for instance, ‘Go} Jown, Moves,’ J doubt that there is}: | stronger theme in the whole musical ilerature of the world.” q Mr, Johavon expresnes his wonder |; hat “this greatest gift of the negro 'y: hould have heen the moxt neglected f all that he possessen: “Money and effort have been ex-| eded upon his development in every ther direction except this, This gift ' aa been regarded ax a Hort of side- how, Romething for wccasional exh!- { Itlon, whereas It is the magic thing; t t In the towhxtone; it in that by|' artistic and emotional endowment he is golng to glo something that Is wanting, something that ts needed, something that no other element in all the nation has to give.” en enn HE WAS IN A HURRY, Missouri Negro Holds Wortd'’s Rec ord In His Rush To Get To Funston Walter Jones, a colored man from Fayette, Mo, holds the world's record for eagerness to get Into the nationa’ army, He came into Topeka yesterday on the bumpers of a freight train, which he thought would take him to Camp Funston, but which stopped here, He was so anxious to finish his journey that be wasn't wiiliug to eat, He wanted to start right out and walk the rest of the way. “I tell you my company ts due there tomorrow, and if I ain't there Tm going to get shot,” he told the Ucket agent at the Union Pacific. Finatly « train load of colored troops troops from Missouri came along, and they offered to pay his way for the remainder of the journey. He went with them, and is now at the cam, safe from the fear of a firing squad. Jones registered last summer at Fayette, Mo, then got a job on the Wabash railroad, and in the course of the summer was shipped all over the middle west. He was in half a vozen cities at one time and another, an¢ wherever he went he was haunted ly the fear that he might miss his vo tice for military service. He wa somewhere in Indiana when bis nu tice Anally came, He was flat broke, but his determination to go to Camp Funston on time could not de de terred. He came to Kansas City via the blind baggage. Not stopping there Jong eough to eat, he boarded & freight, and came on to Topeka, A NEGRO ZONE AT FUNSTON, Wil Have Separate Amusement Places and Exchanges.

We wish to extend our appreciation to our many friends and neighbors for the kindness shown us during the illness and after the death of our darling baby; also for the beautiful floral offerings. MR. and MRS ANDREW HARRIS. MRS. MARY DAVIS. Rev. D. Hickman was born in Scott county, Kentucky, November 1, 1841, and departed this life Nov. 22, 1917, at the age of 76 years and 22 days. In the year 1864 he was married to Willina Lewis. To this union was born ten children. At an early age he joined the Baptist church of Stamping Ground, Ky. After the birth of the second child he was called to the ministry and served a total of 49 years. In 1876 Rev. Hickman, with his wife and six children, decided to seek a home in the west. They settled on a farm near Hill City, in Graham county, Kan., with a number of members from the Mt. Olive Baptist church of Dry Run, Ky., who had emigrated from that place, he organized and established the Mt. Olive Baptist church near Togue, Kan., where he was pastor for ten or twelve years and where his membership remained to the day of his death. He also organized and assisted in the organization of both white and colored Baptist churches of Hill City, Kan., and several others throughout Graham county, Kan. He with others organized the WaKeene Baptist association, then a mixed association, but now entirely white on account of the colored Baptists of that section wishing to join the Smoky Hill Baptist association, to be identified with other Baptist churches of the state. His life was spent in service. He served his Maker, he served his fellowmen. Besides his great service in the Christian warfare, he served in the official capacity of coroner for two years and county commissioner even years, in Graham county. In 1903 he moved to Topeka as pantor at the state house and remained there ten years. He was a charter member of the Fretland Order of Kaleeb and Ladies of Protection, of Topeka, of which he was still a member at his death. His last ministerial work was done at Junction City, Kan., where he was pastor of the Baptist church from July to December, 1816, when he took sick and had to go home. A bakeret from this line, with a complication of diseases, caused him to linger until death finally claimed his own. Having been pastor of three churches in Kentucky, seven or more in Kansas, and having con- OBITUARY. ducted revival services in different parts of the state, his work was surely done. Fuheral services were held from the home Saturday, November 24, au 10 o'clock a. m., conducted by Rev. Hart of Salt Lake City. The body was taken to Bogue, Kan., accompanied by his wife, daughter and one son. When they reached there they son. Upon arrival they found almost the entire membership of Mt. Olivet church waiting to receive them. The remains were then conveyed to the church where the funeral services were held the next day (Sunday) at 11 o'clock a. m., conducted by the Rev. Warder of Hill City, Kan. The body now sleeps in the Mt. Olivet cemetery, close beside the Mt. Olivet church, which he built, and when blown away by a cyclone he rebuilt, and the structure now stands. He leaves to mourn his demise a wife, who had walked by his side for 64 years; a daughter, six sons, eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends. --- Card of Thanks. We wish to thank the friends who so kindly assisted during the sickness and upon the death of our husband and father and for the beautiful floral offerings. We also wish to thank the Parent-Teachers' association of Monroe school for their letter of condolence.—Mrs. Willina Hickman, A. C. Hickman, Daniel Hickman, Minor H. Hickman, Mrs. Annie Todd, Olden Hickman, W. Rolly Hickman, Ray R. Hickma. (First published in the Topeka Plain-dealer Nov. 23d, 1917.) NOTICE OF HEARING APPLICATION FOR PARDON OR PAROLE. Notice is hereby given that Jas. H. McCoy of Topeka, Shawnee county, Kansas, who was convicted in the District Court of Shawnee County on the 5th day of May, 1913, and who was sentenced to imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a term of not less than 10 years, for the crime of 2d degree murder, has filed in the office of the Governor of the State of Kansas his application for pardon or parole, as may seem fit, and that such application will be for hearing and determination before the Governor at Topeka, on the 10th day of December, 1917, at 10 a. m. o'clock, when and were any person may appear and show cause, if any he has, why such application should or should not be granted and an unconditional pardon, or a parole, be granted said Jas. H. McCoy. JAMES H. MCOY. Petitioner. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Porter Placed Under Arrest. Clarence Porter, the colored driver with whom Leota Williams, a North Topeka colored girl, was riding last Tuesday night when she was killed, and his wife, Beryl Porter, were both held by a coroner's jury on a charge of murder. The evidence submitted to the jurors evidently convinced them that the girl didn't die as the result of an accident, as stated by Porter, and that there were reasonable grounds to believe that her death was the result of violence. They recommended that Porter be held, and County Attorney Robert Garver included Porter's wife in the complaint, which was issued immediately. According to Porter's story, when the girl was found dead in his house, in North Topeka, he had taken her out for a ride in the flower delivery truck belonging to his employer, Jas. T. Hayes, and at Tenth and Locust streets she was thrown out onto the pavement when the car made a sudden turn. The evidence of two colored boys, Lundel Hawkins and Bert Gurden, spilled the story of the accident. They testified that they had been sitting at the corner of Tenth and Locust that night from 7 o'clock until the curfew whistle blew at 8 o'clock, had seen the Hayes truck go east and return to the west a few minutes later, and that no accident occurred on either trip at that corner.

Ransom, a colored physician, who performed an autopsy, testified that the injury which had caused the girl's death was a fracture at the base of the skull, with an indentation about the size of a twenty-five cent piece and with lateral fractures on each side. Detectives Mitchell Bundy, George Frost and Ed Ransom, who had been working on the case, testified to finding blood stains at the Porter residence, but none on the pavement, where Porter said the alleged accident occurred. Coroner O. F. Marcotte took the jury to the garage and showed them the Hayes truck from which the girl is alleged to have fallen, and expressed the opinion that it would be impossible for a girl of her size to fall from the car, on account of the construction of the body and seat. Officein are holding Porter's wife on the theory that the girl was killed at the Porter home, and give jealousy on the part of Mrs. Porter as a probable reason — Tupeka Daily Capital. EMPORIA, KAN.

Of course some hearts are sorry that their loved ones are not here To share this glad Thanksgiving, but then send on the cheer.

This is the time for courage, when Thanksgiving's very near, And many hearts are heavy, so let us try their hearts to cheer. We will point them to the Saviour that reigneth up above; He will soothe their every sorrow and fill their hearts with love.
