Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Senator Charles Huffman J. L. Stories of Progress and Prosperity Gleaned by the Editor. LANSING. We visited Lansing penal institution last week and found several colored men employed there. Mr. J. G. Bowers has charge of one cell where prisoners are kept to themselves for special rensons. He has proven himself efficient and capable of handling men and Warden Codding speaks highly of the good work done by him. The warden also spoke in complimentary terms of Mr. Weatherly and Mr. Ransom, former Topoka men, who are excellent officers. These colored guards are also used as instructors in the night school and in the Sunday school. Mr. Codding is one of the best prison officials in the United States and has set a pace for all other wardens to follow. He has raised prisoners up to a higher level and they are going out and making good. It is his highest ambition to make men better. Mr. Bowers owns a nome at Lansing and enjoys the company of his beautiful and cultured wife. Mrs. Bowers has a brother, Mr. Alfred Hults, who is first mergeant of the stable department at Funston. Mr. Andrew Weatherly and family are doing fine. The children are in school, and the young man especially is making good. He expects to take up medicine after he graduates. He is a brilliant young fellow and will succeed in anything he undertakes. Mrs. Weatherly entertained the Clover Leaf Art Club at her home on Friday afternoon. Several guests from Leavenworth and Kansas City were present. Mrs Weatherly is doing much club work and assisting in the upbuilding of her sex. LEAVENWORTH At Leavenworth we visited the Lysle Milling Co., of which Mr. E. D. Lysle is president and general manager. He is a very dignified gentleman and one of the leading millers of the country. We found him feeling very jubilant over his son, J. C. Lysle, who is a lieutenant in the 12th Field Artillery in the regular army. He is 22 years old and just out of Yale University, where he graduated with high honors. He is exceptionally bright and led in all Senator Chan Senator Huffman, who is now Adjutant General of the State of Kansas, is one of Kansas' greatest assets and has served in the Senate for the last sixteen years from Cherokee county. He is a man who knows all about Kansas and her needs, and his many friends are pushing him for the office of Lieutenant Governor. There will be no doubt about his nomination, as he is a man full of push and energy and is now in work up to his chin helping to solve the war problems of Kansas and of the nation. He is one of the busiest men in the state at this time. His office is crowded from morning until night, but his It is Commendabl of his studies while in college and was voted high honors for brilliancy by his class. He was always ambitious to do something that counted in the main. His parents are very proud of him and to know that he is in the front rank of the battlefield fighting for the flag. A young man who is so bright and has so many friends is bound to return home after the war without a scar, as he has the prayers and best wishes not only of the colored people of Leavenworth, but of all the friends of Mr. Lysle everywhere. We visited the Mounted Service School detachment at Fort Leavenworth, and must say that First Sergeant Harris, who was born in Lynchburg, Va., is a very fine gentleman and makes a good officer. There are many members of this company, and if the young men would devote their time to study and reading good books and papers and save their money, they would be bound to make good. We understand that about one third of them are married and buying homes in the city of Leavenworth, where they enjoy the company of their families. There are 125 men in this detachment. ATCUSON. We visited Atchison and found the colored people there busy and making money. Everyone seems to be at work. We investigated the matter of the new school building and were assured by the best people and largest taxpayers that a new school building is to be erected in place of the old, dilapidated, rickety fire trap which is now being used by the colored people. We visited Dr. Stewart, formerly of Garden City and Nicodemus, who has opened an office at 507 Commercial street and is just running over with practice. He has the whole town to himself and the people are proud of him, and he is going both day and night. He is a fine physician and surgeon and takes great care in examining and giving consultations to his patients. He moved to Atchison only three months ago, but the people are hardly allowing him to sleep. Dr. Stewart is a graduate from the School of Physicians and Surgeons, Boston, Mass. He is highly educated and experienced and enjoys the company of his wife, who formerly taught in the mixed schools of Western Kansas, and is a highly cultured lady. Mr. W. W. Shobe is conducting a nice pool hall with cigars and soft drinks and auto livery in connection, at 220 West Seventh street, Junction City, Kan Charles Huffman friends will take care of his candidacy and he will have nothing to worry about along that line. He is the first Adjutant General that has encouraged a colored organization of trade militia. We have personally tried for years to have an Adjutant General recommend that we have a battalion of colored men, but never succeeded until Governor Capper appointed General Huffman, and this was one of his best appointments, so far as colored people are concerned. He will recommend an appropriation to the next legislature and everything necessary to make the organization a success. He will certainly be the next Lieutenant Governor. le in the Administrat MR.KNAPP ANNOUNCES FOR A SECOND TERM Splendid Record of Present State Auditor Commends Him to the Voters. Mr. Fred W Knapp, State Auditor, is serving his first term and will be renominated without opposition. He came to Kansas away back in 1878, is a product of the short grass countrys, having grown to menhood in Wichita county. He is one of the pioneers who fought gophers and grasshoppers. He went through all the hardships of drought—and populism was elected auditor from Mitchell count, where he conducted a successful newspaper, The Beloit Gazette. Mr. Knapp is a man who PETER H. FRED W. KNAPP, State Auditor and Candidate for Re- Election. is highly educated, is a master of figures and holds the degree of Master of Account's from Kansas Wesleyan University. He was chief clerk of the House of Representatives in 1905, secretary of the State Board of Control from 1905 to 1911, which position he held with honor and credit. He has shown that he knows his business. There are millions of dollars in claims that have to be passed upon each year, and the attorney general has approved the decision of Knapp on every claim that he has turned down. Mr. Knapp is a hard working man and deserves all that he has achieved in the great state of Kansas as its auditor and in other capacities. He is a friend to the poor, as he knows what hardships are. The colored people are proud of him, as he is fair and impartial. When the matter came up for the election of assistant engineer at the state heating plant, he worked for and advocated that Mr. George Holder be appointed to that position, as he had worked there for several years and was thoroughly capable, and Mr. Knapp believed that he was entitled to promotion, as it was not a question of color, but efficiency. It was also his suggestion that janitors at the State House leave at 10:30 during the spring and summer and go home and work in their gardens, and return in the evening, as they were not getting sufficient salary, and he believed they should at least have time to work their gardens to assist them in earning a living. He will have no opposition for the position of auditor, as he is entitled to vote on the reason that it is the policy to give each officer a second term. COLORED WOMEN WILL HELP. The colored women and children of Parsons are to have a hand in Red Cross work, and, in order that the work may be expedited and the patriots among this race have a better opportunity for displaying their love of country and exercising the opportunities to serve it, a colored auxiliary to Labette chapter is to be organized. An enthusiastic meeting of prominent colored women was held in the Washington Avenue A M B. church Thursday afternoon, presided over by Rev. T W Greene, pastor of the church. The meeting, which was attended by the leaders among the colored women of the city, and which came about through the work of Mrs. Mattie Shepard in arousing their interest, was addressed by Mrs W. H Martin, director of women's work, and Mrs Oliver C Holmes, chairman of the hospital garments section of Labette chapter, who explained the Red Cross work and instructed the would be Red Cross workers in how to perfect their organization and get ready to begin actual work. After making their talks, Mrs. Martin and Mrs Holmes left and the meeting went into executive session. By unanimous vote it was decided to form an auxiliary to Labette chapter, and the following officers were elected Mrs. J W Woods, chairman; Mrs Lizzie Robertson, vice chairman; Mrs. Lillian Christman, secretary; Mrs P H Wallace, assistant secretary; Mrs Mattie Shepard, treasurer. It was decided to hold another meeting Monday afternoon, when permanent organization will be perfected and the auxiliary formally named as a branch of Labette chapter. Directors of Labette chapter will, in the meantime, arrange for a work room of their own, where the branch will do its work, which, when finished, will be turned over to local headquarters. The colored people are very enthusiastic and patriotic and much good is expected to result from the new organization.—Parsons Dally Republican. "Face Facts Squarely and Use Common Sense," Says Secretary. "The American Negro needs to exercise extreme caution least he be swept away on a wave of false optimism," says Floyd Delos Francis, secretary general of the Negro American Alliance. In a statement which the alliance is sending out from its national headquarters, the secretary general continues: "It is well to be optimistic and look on the bright side of things, but there is a danger mark that must be carefully avoided. At the present time there is much machine made opinion finding its way into the public print. The Negro is being assured that all is well. There is much talk about what he has done in the past and how he can be depended on in the future. He is being lauded as an American citizen who always rises equal to the emergency. While being filled with enthusiasm by hired enthusiasts, it is well for him to pause, face the facts squarely and use his common sense. "We are at war with Austria, yet Austrian allen eneiles have more privileges than Negro soldiers in uniform. The fact is that democracy is being made a farce and a mockery right here in America. It is time for the Negro to cease fooling himself, or when the war is over he will be lost." The Negro American Alliance is teaching the race to think. This fine organization has issued a circular that every Negro should read. It is entitled: "The Negro American Alliance: Its Principles, Purposes and Alms." It will be mailed anywhere on receipt of 20 cents. Address the Negro American Alliance, Suite 2, Atlantic Insurance Bldg., Atlantic City, N. J COFFEYVILLE, KAN. Rev. Dr W. L. Brewer, pastor of the C. M. L. church, and wife report a lovely time in Bartlesville at the district council. Mrs. Brewer was elected president of the Coffeyville district of the missionary society. Rev. J. S.

Edwards, wife of the presiding elder of the Coffeyville district, was hostess to the Woman's Missionary society March 11 at the residence of Mrs. Nancy Jones, 112 East New street. A delicious three course luncheon was served. It being Mrs. Edwards' birthday anniversary she received several useful gifts. The nurseries departed de-licating Mrs. Edwards an ideal hostess. Rev. Van Leu of Wichita, state missionary of the Baptists, is in the city. Rev P. D. Skinner has just closed a very successful revival. Miss Janette Bradford is visiting in Battlesville, Okla. CROSSLAND IS DEAD. CROSSLAND IS DEAD. We are pained to learn of the death of Sergt Russell Crossland, son of Dr J. R. A Crossland of St Joseph, Mo., who was a bright, promising young man with a prosperous future ahead of him. It was unfortunate that he was called to the army at the time he was from the fact that he was in college taking a medical course and would have completed his course in about eighteen months, but the draft caught him and he had to respond to the call of Uncle Sam. His father is one of the most popular physicians and leading citizens of this country, and was minister plenipotentiary to Liberia. He has the sympathy of the Plaindealer and his friends in this hour of bereavement, as this son was his only child. Young Crossland was in the infirmary at the camp, right up next to the leading army officers, and was making good. Below is a clipping from Trench and Camp, a newspaper published at Camp Funston; "Sergei Russell Crossland, one of the popular soldiers in Infirmary 15, went home to St Joe last week a strong, robust man. Lieutenant Leech, of commanding officer, received word of his death while home. Mr Crossland was well born in the state of Kansas, coming from a well known family. He studied at one time in Kansas University and was popular in the Sunday Forum, which has been a literary society of historical prominence. No set of people have greater sympathy than the soldiers. Everyone regrets the death of Sergeant Crossland." Hon. William P. Waggener M. SEES VICTORY FOR CAPPER State Bank Commissioner Wilson Says Governor Will Be U. S. Senator. We visited the office of Bank Commissioner Walter E. Wilson, who is also state senator. He is one of Kansas' most popular and strongest business men, is a banker and was elected senator at the election in 1914 for a term of four years. He is now secretary of the Kansas State Bankers Association, is chairman of the ways and means committee and PETER H. WALTER E. WILSON. State Bank Commissioner, and Member of State Senate. a member of other committees in the senate. He is a graduate of Kansas University and is one of the strongest members of the senate. He is also a strong supporter of Governor Capper for United States Senator and says there is no doubt of his election. Mr Wilson is a perfect gentleman and a man who believes in fair play. He is growing more popular with the people each day. CROWEBURG, KAN. Mr. Wm McDaniel has bought a seven passenger Studebaker car. Mrs. James McDaniel has been Hon. William We visited our friend, Mr W P Waggener, who is general attorney for the great Missouri Pacific, having succeeded his father, B P Waggener, in this position in 1911, when the elder Waggener retired on account of ill health. Mr W P Waggener is a dignified, cultured lawyer, scholar and gentleman. He is traveling right in the footsteps of his father. It is like the case of Ellish casting his mantle on Elisha. Mr Waggener is a plain, common everyday man, pleasant to meet, has no frills or excess and wears a happy smile for everybody, rich and poor old or young. He is idolized by everyone in that county. He enjoys a national reputation as one of the best lawyers in the country and when it comes to politics, he takes up the fight of a candidate he usu- ermit Wayward White Price $1.50 Per Year very busy sewing this week. She is an excellent dressmaker. Mr. Charles Parker and Mrs. Jessie Carmichael are convalescent. The Willing Workers for Christ gave a successful entertainment Saturday night. The St. John Mission Circle gave one of the best old folks' concerts last Monday night ever seen here. Evening Star Court No. 5 stormed Mrs. Henrietta Parker last Friday night. Mrs. Maud Austen of Pittsburg was a visitor in Croweburg Saturday. Mrs. Courtney Ware, Mr. Allen Young and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McDaniel motored to Pittsburgh Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Ware entertained the Mission Circle Wednesday evening at 10:30 and served a delightful two course lunch. Rev. L. G. Cooper, Mrs. A. Cooper of Pittsburg and Miss Eather Deaton of Yale motored to Croweburg Monday night Mr. Eddie Miller spent Sunday in Cherokee. Mrs. Maples spent Friday in Cherokee. Mrs. Palmer spent the week in Cherokee with her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Dismukes. Mrs. Walker was in Pittsburg shopping. Mr. Hudson is not so well at this writing. Mrs. Bettie Dewberry is ill. Mrs. Bette Newberry is in. Mrs. Hunter had an accident a short time ago with a large bamp globe, which caused a very bad cut. Mrs. Maggie Crawford was in Yale visiting home folks. Mrs. Huske Crockett is in Yale visiting home folks. Mr. George Swann, who has been ill for several months with tuberculosis, died March 1. He was born January 13, 1877, near Pottaville, Ark. He came to this country during the Indian Territory days and located in Sandtown bottom. He finally moved to Vian, where he lied up to the time of his death. He leaves a wife and three children, one brother and a sister to mourn his loss. He was a member of the First Baptist church and of the U. B. F. He was a first class carpenter as well as a music teacher. The funeral was held from the First Baptist church, conducted by Rev. A. C. Reeves, D. D., of Muakogee, Okla. Interment was in Mabelle cemetery. n P. Waggener ally lands him. We are glad to know that Mr H. P. Waggoner is getting along, nicely. He visits his farm twice a day and occasionally goes to the office. The Lord has certainly spared him for some good purpose, as he is an upright Christian gentleman and always did much for the upbuilding of the people in Attichion, white and colored, and the Lord has blessed him with long life. We met Mr Will Taylor an old colored citizen and business man of Attichion, and were surprised to learn that he is conducting one of best groceries in the city at 10:17 Hickory street, which he has conducted since 1885. He is a Kentucky boy by birth and is 63 years old, owns property and attends to business and that is the secret of his success. We are always proud to meet men like him. ites to go to Hell SE RT aE Te Re a Par eerwr Fe oh UFC CS OTN, RTP BEE STE SRA . . a ‘ : coipatieca 5 spe WSTABLISHED IN 3899. ————__—_—_——_ SICK CHILES, . .

We were agreeably surprised one day this week when our journalistic friend and former co-worker, Mr Harry Otis Abbott, pranted in upon our editorial carpet. Togged in the one drab of Uncle Samuel, he walked with all the case and place or a shared soldier. Mr. Abbott has been stationed at Camp like, Alb, or the past few months in the Y, M, C, A, department of the National Army, but resigned to take a place in the signal corps, having been assigned to Chillicothe, O. His unit seemed for excitement, the end of the firing line was too strong for resistance, and yielding to his cry he volunteered. "I wanted to be mong the boys," he said, in discussing his retirement from the Y, "and now I am happy to take my place with them in the ranks." Mr. Abbott received his A. B degree from Washburn before reaching his majority, and is considered a tome the brightest boys that every left that institution. He is a son of Mrs. Fred Romdine, one of the city's foremost women. We expect much of Harry in the army. He leaves Sunday for Tulsa, Oklahoma, from which place he will go to camp in Hillicothe. LEAVENWORTH, KAN. At 7:30 a.m., February 27, the class of three hundred young men who had received recommendations for commissions were assembled in Grant Hall of the Army Service School at 17, Leavenworth, Kansas. Here Col Charles Miller, infantry, the acting commandant, under whose immediate direction the courses of instruction had been carried on, adressed the class on "Customs of the Service." In part he said "Of all the signs and symbols since the world began, there is never another so full of meaning as the flag of this country. That piece of red, white and blue burning, comes 500 years of struggle upward. It is the full blown flower of arms of fighting for liberty. It means the answer prayer of generations of slaves, of the helms of Greece, the lioness chatties of Rome, of the vassals of feudalism, of the sons of Pusilla, the blacks of America, all of whom, whipped and cursed, have crawled from the cradle to the grave through all three."
