Honorable Commissioner BLACK SOLDIER'S FIGHT TO THE TEACHES The use of the will is to be made on October 1, 1917, the parish undertaking in the West service a proclamation of the will for eight members of the secretary to write back. The reason and also reason of the Puritan Normal and Industrial Institute in Albany, Mr. Bent has made a detailed inquiry into the members of the white race, and with leadin members of the white race in the South we will be with leaders of thought and public culture in the North. He has sought to prove the Paper "Highbinders" Secretary of War, as much as possible, of the hurricane details growing out of controversies, involving racial relationships, caused or occasioned by the presence of white and colored draffees together in many of the contests. Lately, there has been a certain amount of misgiving and unrest among the colored people of the country who have been led to feel, by tea on of reports of alleged misrestreatment of colored men in cantonments, that there is a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal unfairly with colored graffees in National Army cantonments and in National Guard camps. For the purpose of allaying these auspicious and correcting certain false impressions which have been lee and circulated the Secretary of War, Grassd and Co. Colonel adde, state in attendance and the policy of the War Department with reference to these colored soldiers. The letter dated November 30th, 1917, follows: War Department, Washington, November 30, 1817. McGinnand, -For Mr. Bimoul J. Brott, Special Assistant, War De- partment.

What I need in the emergence is the help of good thinking people in the office and town around the station and in our course events from time to time. If Germany prompts, who want to make discord by stirring up so severe feeling in the town to do we are Again Able their work. As a matter of fact, the colored people and the white people of this country have lived together now for a good many years and have established relationships in the several parts of the country which are more or less well organized and acquired in. Gradually the colored people are acquiring education in the industrial arts and are renders themselves more and more useful in our civilization and more entitled to our respect. On the other hand, the white people are coming more naturally to realize the value of the good, either among the colored people through their industrial importance or eager desire to learn and acquire themselves for usefulness in the try, and that has brought it forth of good feeling, mutual love and there, be sure to that at Houston and that at Louis, which grew out of our understandings and more particularly contributed to, in at least one of these instances, by the multicolored activities of people who would rejoice to see any embarrassment come to us as a sign of weakness against our enemy. Therefore unrest among the colored people and suspicion of the government on their part are, by all means, to be discouraged at a time this. We are being all in to the building up of our nation and the art we are containing light while we are expecting that all do their duty, and that they have done it they will all be led to the attitude of their country.

Taylor to Dr. Chesty Deane at Providence R.I., Nov. 6. They will be at home to their friends at 222 East 97th street, Cleveland, O. The people of Topeka will remember Dr. Chesty Deane, who came here from Washington, D. O. and purchased people's drug store at 406 Kansas City, which she conducted for an hour, then turned it back to the Mason of derelite, from whom she purchased it, after finding that she could not make a success of the business. How after her arrival in Topeka that Dr. O. A. Taylor died his wife for a divorce, charging her with extreme cruelty and an uncoverable temper. Mrs. Taylor filed a cross petition naming Mrs. Deane as the cause. A few weeks after he secured his divorce Dr. Taylor moved from Lawrence through R.I. Don Molines rather than Cleveland, Lovely, paid his former home, between two states and without leaving his former address to his friends and creditors. He had resided in the city for several years, enjoyed instructive practice, and had the privilege and respect of all the citizens until he was won by the beating smile of the lady pharmacist from Washington, D. C. His many friends in Topeka are disgusted with actions and none cared to recite the cards. Some of his former friends are still expecting him to return, he told them he was only on a short vacation, which to other people said that he was going out of medical attire. So disappointed are his friends and patrons that they join in one common chorus in song that he has certainly heard the oldgren led himself and come back. He was convinced for among the colored people that they are now beginning to find a leader that will depend on; they always have a fault that is not only detrimental to themselves, but to the community in which they live. The cards announce that they will be at home at the above address, but from the expressions of the friends in Topeka don't think any of them will get fat.

WILL DEFEND DR LEROY BUNDY Accused of Murder in the East St. Louis Riot Cases The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just won a tremendous victory for the American Negro in the unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation Case, but the Association does not intend to stand still upon that victory. It has already undertaken a fight of almost equal importance, the fight of securing for the colored men accused and convicted of murder in the East St. Louis riots a fair trial and every benefit under the law to which they are entitled. The Association is understanding this fight not only in behalf of the individual men concerned but in order that the blame of being the initial cause of the horrors which took place at East St. Louis shall not be shifted upon the Negro race. Although the colored people at East St. Louis were sufferers and victims, several hundred of them having been beaten and killed, the result of the legal processes thus far has been the conviction of ten colored men with sentences of fourteen years each in the penitentiary. On the other hand, two or three white men have been convicted and given long sentences, and only a few days ago three of the white men charged with slitting were sentenced to thirty days each, a sentence which in some parts of the country is often imposed for being merely drunk and disorderly. Great interest now centers around the trial of Dr. Leroy Bundy, Dr. Bundy is a prosperous dentist and one of the most prominent colored men of East St. Louis. He is charged with inciting riot and murder, and it is declared that the State will ask for the death penalty in his case. The National Association has already taken steps to secure the very best legal defense possible for Dr. Bundy and will spare no effort or expense to give him a fair trial and the fullest protection under the law. Dr. Bundy's case is not merely an individual case. It is in a large sense the case of the entire race, and so the Advancement Association makes a national appeal for cooperation and funds to assist it in the defense of Dr. Bundy. Already the St. Louis branch, from the day immediately following the rotters has been dol magnificent work. The Branch has raised and expended, for the benefit of refugees, in collecting evidence against the rotters, and in defending Negroes who were accused, almost $7,000. The St. Louis Branch, "Dutting forth every effort, with the National Association standing behind it and working through it. Dr. Bundy's trial begins this week. It is a trial in which every good citizen, every lover of law and order and true democracy should be interested in all such. the National Assembly for the Advancement of Women the people makes this appeal. Our petition may be sent to the National Assembly for the Advancement of Women, 70th Avenue A MID.WINTER CONFERENCE Of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People The Board of Director of the National Association has decided to call a mid-winter conference in the City of New York, to be held Dec. 27-28 29-30. This Seventh Annual Conference will be a meeting of delegates and members of the branches throughout the country and their friends. There will be a free and full discussion of the aims of the Association and an exchange of ideas and plans for its future activities. It is realized that such a gathering is especially useful at the present time when the work of completely cured by the use of one 25c box of DOUBLE STRENGTH DANDRUFF CURE.

Further, it is the object to bring about a better acquaintancehip, a closer bon of interest, and a greater unity of purpose among the widely scattered branches of the Association. The time during the holiday season was chosen for two reasons. First, it is a time when many can arrange to attend who could not otherwise do so, unless the conference were held in the summer. Second, the mid-winter season is, above all, the most interesting and pleasant time to visit the great metropolis. All of the activities of New York are at their height. A program is being arranged which will include three morning conferences, a meeting at Ethical Culture Hall, and a great mass meeting at one of the large auditoriums of the city. This will allow for a full discussion of all important questions and for the opportunity of hearing several distin guished speakers. The draft. Colored officers. The Navy. Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Work Red Cross. Migration. Wages. After the War. Cooperative Business. A luncheon will be served each day of the conference, at which the visiting delegates will be guests of the Association. On Saturday evening, December 29, a "get together" dinner will be given, which all members and friends of the Association will be invited to attend, and at which the visiting accredited delegates will be the guests of the Association. On the same evening, the auditorium of one of the theaters will be reserved for members and friends to visit a special performance; the visiting accredited delegates will be the guests of the Association. The afternoon of each day will be left open so as to give opportunity for visiting places of interest and for sightseeing. There will be a Committee on Accommodations that will compile a list of stopping places. The cost of attending the conference will be as follows: Railway fare. Room for four days, $400 to $600. Board: Breakfasts, four days, 25 to 50 cents each. Launcheon, three days, free to accredited delegates. Dinners, three days, 55 to 75 cents each. Incidentals ad lib. It is urged upon officers and members that they take immediate steps to help in making the Conference a success by electing delegates and arranging for them to attend. Each branch may send not more than five accredited delegates, but as many visiting delegates as it may wish. It is hoped that as many members as possible from each branch will come. COFFE/VILLE NEGRO BRINGS "KATY" TO TIME Coffeyville, Kan. Ort. 29, 1917. Mr. W. S. St. George, G. P & F A., St. Louis, Mo; My Dear Mr. St. George; - On October 28, on the northbound M K & T. leaving Dewey, Okla., at 5:15 o'clock, my wife and four sisters happened to be passengers in coffee station. They arrived at the station about 30 minutes before train time the ticket window was closed and the blind was down, and they repeatedly knocked on the window and they went outside and looked in the window and the agent was sitting down. At near the arrival of the train there were several white passengers arrived at the station, in which the man proceeded to sell them tickets and the window for colored music was still closed, and when the train had practically arrived the window was opened and he only succeeded in selling about three tickets out of a number. About twelve colored passengers had to bear the train's tickets, causing my wife and family to pay cash fare with the excess rate, and my trouble and ex- pause of returning cash fare slips for refund, in which you will oblige me for same. Now, Mr. St. George, I always advise my wife to purchase tickets before boarding a train, and I know the interstate rate is unfair and also the Jim Crowism is unfair to railroad as it is unfair to colored people, and the colored people are in sympathy with the roads. We know all this is done through discriminative legislation, and when an employee of your commits such an act as I have stated I call your attention to this, as you are one of the head officials, in order that you see to it that this practice is discontinued. I am, yours very truly. DENNIS M. HUNIGAN, 506 East Fifth St. Mr. St. George's Reply. St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 1, 1917. Mr. Dennis M. Hunigan, 506 East Fifth St., Coffeyville, Kan.: Dear Sir—I regret the necessity for your letter of October 29, and you may rest assured the matter will have prompt attention. I will advise you further within a short time. (By Dennis S. Thompson.) There is a great deal in looking as results. The ring of a revolver has started a snowslide. The position of a stone has decided whether a great river should flow into the Atlantic or the Pacific seas. Great fortunes have been lost because someone carrying a message was just a few minutes late. So, when we consider results, nothing can be said to be unimportant. All life is a protest against taking for granted that certain things do not count one way or the other. There are so many people who are so busy, as they think, in making a success of life, that they do not talk time to study as to what the result will be if they do this or that thing. There are a great many people at this time prominent in religions, business and social circles, who will do almost anything to appear great in the sight of the masses, and to be ahead of someone else, as they suppose. Success gained by trickery and deception may seem a great thing to the world at large, but not so to the winner, because people with common sense know that a seeming vector is only a sham, and it is only a question of time until the person who practices deception will have the cover pulled off him and his time characterized by the world. At this time opportunity is knowing at the Negro's door; the advantage of the race for gaining recognition in the commercial and industrial world was never so invoble as now. If it will only exercise judgment sufficient to appreciate the situation My advice to our folks in this matter is: Let it be the aim of everyone wherever and whenever possible, to win; make success your goal, but remember, there is no goal success save that which is won fairly. So many people who would be generally speaking, considered more likely to be are tempted to thank success as won by accident, or favor. P aesthetic will a eleo or ancient war miner commune book is not settled motion aesthetic case in giving Words detail a commemorative itism, and contend that there is no use trying to overcome obstacles, and they give themselves up to a commonplace existence on a low leel of attainment. Every once in awhile we hear of people taking sudden great leaps apparently without any intermediary steps they leap from one good position to a much more responsible situation. If we would investigate we would find that the person who seems to advance at a bound has been preparing for the higher position for years, by learning vastly more than he found in his pay envelope, by doing whatever was given him to do to complete the finish, thus building up a reputation for doing things in a superior way and thus establishing confidence in his employer that he was capable of filling a more responsible position. It is a thing to be regretted, however, but too many of our people's interpret character through conduct, and for that reason we are some mess inclined to lay too much stress on outward acts and appearances. It is a true that those who are kindly and generous in their nature cannot afford to neglect the social graces, for fear of misinterpretation, yet we must never lose sight of the fact that the external is of little consequence, comparatively. If outward morality is contradicted by the thoughts of the heart, conduct is but a poor sham. Fine clothes over a weak will and low standards amount to very little, and fine manners over an ignoole nature are worthless. As a people we have been and are making some showing in some things. Some are conducting successfully, here and there, barber shops, saloons, rooming houses, gambling houses, and now and then farms that will bear creditable mention, but the great mass of our people do not seem to have any well defined purpose in life. They are just simply grasping her and there, "hitting in the high spot" as it were, seemingly content in being able to "get by," and willing to be "hewers of wood and carriers of water" for the other fellow all of their lives. There is one problem that is confronting us as a people, especially in the rural districts—a problem that at no distant future bids fair to assume serious proportions—that of the district school. For eighteen years past the writer has been making observations in different localities, where there are apparently good schools, judging from outward appearances, where the young people have gone to school and have shied married and are raising families, some of whom cannot read and write their names. There are other instances where children are attending school, but make very little progress and are not being taught the essentials that contribute to the life successful. In every locality where they are schools and churches the children should be taught the rudiments of music, and each church should have a choir or persons with sufficient musical ability to direct the singing exercises, but in many cases the young people are not able to select and lead a hymn when they get to church. If young people are not much using up to the proper standard today, not much can be expected from their children when they assume parental responsibility. It should be our aim as a race to endeavor to locate and remedy this deficiency in our educational system. Some fault lies in the teacher, some in the school system, but the greatest fault lies in the people that are raising children to begin their proper training in the home. Parents can not home for their children to grow up successful Christian business men and women unless they set a standard for them to shape and govern their lives by The average Negro father and mother will rise at 4 or 5 o'clock every day in the week to go to work, but on Sunday they cannot get out of bed in time for their children to have their meals early enough to attend Sunday school, but will keep them home in order to send them to the store to buy tobacco for father. It may seem all right, but we can never elevate our people to the necessary standard if Christ folks insist on sending their children out gathering perishments Sunday afternoon and let them go 'possum hunting Sunday nights. We must let the possum test a little while and work the other end but a little stronger. Bethel, Kansai. FROM PROF, L. W. PAYNE. Dear on Tay Nov. 28 1917 Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor Plaindealer, Toronto, Ont. I thought I would let you know something of my whereabouts since the death of my wife at Kansas City April 7. I have just closed a successful season as musical director of the Honest Bill Shows. This is said to be the first colored band that ever played a circus program, and I was successful in securing musicians, mostly my pupils, who not only did themselves credit, but will be a credit to their race. My two sons are with me, Willie, the trombone player, and Elmer, the clarinetist. After visiting a few cities in Oklahoma and Kansas in our private touring cut we will return to our home at Kansas City, Kan., 1222 Ann avenue. When down that way come and see me, after December 1. Yours. Muskogee, Okla, Nov. 23, 1917 The funeral of Joe Morris, who died at the home of his mother, Mrs. Alice Morris, 1402 Tamporia street, of heart failure, was held Sunday, Nov. 18, at 3 o'clock from Spencer Chapel M. K. church, on North Seventh street. He was born in Galveston, Texas, in the year 1875. He came to Muskogee, Okla., in the early Jaws, and lived here ever since. He was well known in Oklahoma. He was a faithful son to his mother and loyal to the family. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor Rev. E. C. W. Cox. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Alice Morris; two sisters, Mrs. R. L. Nelson and Mrs. Beatrice Bruner; four brothers, R. H. Spencer, Alex and Edward Moiris, and a host of friends. He is gone but not forgotten. Sleep on brother Joe, and enjoy your rest with the other brothers that God has taken. Some day, when the trumpet shall sound, mother, sister and brothers will meet you somewhere with God away up in mid air. MRS. R. L. NELSON. Okmulgee, Okla. INDEPENDENCE. KAN. On November 8 the Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. Norene Davis of Kansas City, visited Independence and gave a splendid lecture to a packed house. The platform was most beautifully decorated. Those seated on the platform besides Mrs. Davis were Mrs. Virginia Montgomery and Dr. D. H. Davis, who acted as master of ceremonies, and proved his ability as an orator. The program was short, but very good. An address was given by Mr. Ware, which was very good. Mrs. Taylor read a selection and her ability as a reader cannot be surpassed. Paul Everett rendered several selections on the violin throughout the evening. This was the finest and greatest gathering of its kind in the history of Independence. When the G. W C reached Independence she was met by a delegation of Calanthes at 425 a.m. and was then taken to the home of Sister Montgomery. Later in the day she was taken for an auto ride throughout the city, visiting our W C , Lula Anderson, who was ill and could not be present Kan Famous ma FLC Hard, winter, "turk wheat supreme.

Mother finds that the NEGROs are interested in attracting more attention to the NATIONALS and the NEGROS' song body painting. The songs and melodies of the NEGROs were created and sung by the NEGROs on the NATIONALS' body painting before the war, and have been generously created by the NEGROs and been performed by artists on the NATIONALS' body painting. They have been collected, edited and music and printed in book form. Titled as 100 per cent by the NATIONALS, attributed to 100 per cent by the NATIONALS, KKD and Ave. N. N. Nantucket, KKD, D. D.

She was then taken to the home of Slater Barnes, where a chicken dinner was being served, and from there she returned to her room to prepare for her lecture. She spoke on the work of the order and the standard she hoped soon to see, with the increase of membership over the district. One of the great things, she said, was that this quarter ending the order did not owe one death claim. Victrola music was rendered throughout the evening. After the lecture the ladies served supper and cream and cake. This closed one of the biggest events of the season for Independence. HE IS MAKING GOOD. Dr. M. E. Whitlock, one of the young men of the Ozark region, and a specialist in merchano and hydrotherapy, has located in our city and they are well pleased. He claims that the leading physicians have adopted the drugless method for treating human illis, and before a great while more of our people will find that less drugs and more of the drugless method is best for their health. Dr. Whitlock is a product of the N. A. C. of Chicago. He practiced in Excelsior Springs, Mo., Deloit, Wis., and Benton Harbor, Mich., and had one year special work in the Leman Institute at Dubuque, Ia. He came here less than six months ago on a honeymoon trip with his br'd formerly Miss Minnie Tawater, a nurse. They decided this was a good town and are now in business here. We want more of the best people of the race to come to our hospitable town. N. C. B. SALINA, KANSAS Mr. W. W. Shobe of Junction City was here last week and purchased a new Dodge car. Mr. W. C.

As long as white men sit on the school boards and elect colored teachers, so long will immorality, ignorance and superstition predominate in the race. We are inextricably per cent of the recruits from the South cannot read and write. As long as our women are front a moral leader in a white man whom she has to ask for a job so long will inquire be heaped upon them. This war for democracy is to bring people and happiness to this entire world and to the United States. Colored people may as well get ready to enjoy it and in order to do so must stand up and defend their rights. If there would be bosses and leaders of the race would advise the race to leave the Southland and come North and West to seek work in the factories and on the farms, the feeding of such advice would go a long way toward breaking up race prejudice in the South. It is not money that the race wants now, but education, peace, and har mony and the right to own and control property and to have a say as to who shall run the government. Another thing that is hampering the race in the Southland is the fact that they have no colored men in any official positions to assist in making the South a better and safer country in which to live. There should be colored police officers, justices of the place and the like. It is the duty of the white women of the South to get busy and ask their husbands to put colored men in charge of school boards where colored teachers are to be elected, as it is a disgrace to have matter carried on as they are at this time. We shall appeal to the white women of the South to a their husbands to cause being so selfish in these matters and to be fair and give the colored people a chance to prove to the world that they are the winners.
