The Colored Soldiers in France are Proving Themselves as Did Their Ancesters in all Other Conflicts for Justice The Twentieth Year. N CAPPER FOR SENATE COVERS Colored Men and Supporting CAPPER FOR SENATOR LEAGUE COVERS THE WHOLE STATE --- Lieut W. A Bettis, Secretary of the League, Tells Why They are Beating the Brush for Capper. Lieut. W A. Bettis, of Wichita, president of the Capper for Senator League, a state wide organization, was in the city this afternoon with Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, the noted orator. Lieutenant Bettis is managing some speaking dates in Kansas for Col. Simmons, along with his campaign activities. He is one of those long range thinkers and can see further in the future than a carnival fortune teller. He has first hand information always on tip and it is no trouble to get the Lieutenant to make a spread anytime or place. He is a fluent talker, polished and educated, so when we asked him in regard to the Senatorial fight we be have we received the correct done as may be glued by the following statement which was drawn out in course of the interview in which he set forth the following reasons why the League is exerting every honorable effort toward the nomination of The provided image is a graphic design and does not contain any chart or data. Gov. Capper for United States Senator: "Because we believe that Arthur Capper represents the highest type of Christian manhood and loyal American citizenship. "Because as governor of our splendid state, he has given us a clean and strictly business administration of state affairs, exercising the closest scrutiny in every department, to the end that every dollar of the tax money expended shall bring a return commensurate with the outlay. "Because he is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of fair play and believes and advocates a square deal for every citizen, regardless of color or political affiliations." "Because in this great crisis, the occasion demands strong men in the councils of the nation, men capable of grasping and properly passing upon the deep intricate problems which will confound our country for years to come. Because his conception of a pure democracy is everything the word implies in its fullest and truest sense. "Because he is one of the few men in high public office who has had the manhood to speak out in forceful words against the iniquitous outbreaks of savagery and mob violence, so common in this country and so often diverted against legal, defenseless illorated citizens." "Because we believe that in the election of Arthur Capper to the U. B. Senate, we will have a man representing in full, the patriotic spirit and high moral sentiment of the great state of Kansas, and who will fearlessly conserve alike, the vital interests of every citizen." The League has for officers some of the strongest race men in the West. They re men of high integrity and have the respect and confidence of the people of Kansas, and there is not a rook or corner of the state in which they are not whooping it up for Capper. The league was first launched in Wichita, and through the earnest efforts of Dr. Grant G. Brown, president, Rev. J. R. Ransom, chairman executive committee and Lleut. W. A. Bettis, secretary, the people all over the state are organizing to co-operate with them. Discussing the subject further r Lieut. Bettis said, "The women of Wichita, also have an auxiliary to our league. It too is state wide in a range and has stirred the women of the racing never before. They have women in the haines who never be- fore paid any attention to political matters. They have aroused their sisters and made them see the m The Colored Soldi necessity of putting men of character and honor at the head of the helm. Following is an appeal issued to the ladies over the state by the Auxiliary: "Dear Co-Workers: The greatest opportunity in the history of our country, is now ripe for women. In this awful war it is ours to be the real helpers of men in winning it. "Let us pledge ourselves to renewed efforts of thrift, conservation and economy, and to render every possible aid to the noble and patriotic work of the Red Cross. "Woman suffrag. Is on its forward march, the right to vote has be given to women in many states of the Union and Karsa, true to her traditions, has held up the torch of progress, as a beacon light in the great movement for Woman's rights. "The women of Kansas are endowed with the full rights of franchise and this is indeed an opportunity time for us to consider the full import of that sacred privilege. "Our men are going to the front, we are filling their places in many avenues of life; let us prepare ourselves to make our towns, our state and our country better by registering and casting our votes for those who stand for human rights and the highest principles of moral uplift along all lines. "Let us prepare ourselves to vote intelligently upon all issues and when the time comes for the casting of the ballots let it never be said that we failed to qualify.

The officers are: Mrs. Henrietta Harper, president; Mrs. Maggie Wilkin, vicepresident; Mrs. Ida B. Frazier, secretary.

COLORED VOTERS HOLD A CAPPER LOVE FEAST COLORED VOTERS HOLD A CAPPER LOVE FEAST Men and Women Pledge Support to the Governor at a Banquet. MENNES Tom Sneed, Frank Beach and Fred Ware are to be complimented for the exercises and banquet at the Federation Club House, 13th and Quincy streets, Saturday evening of last week. There were over seventy-five guests present. This love fessit was held in order to have an expression from the colored ladies and gentlemen in reference to the candidacy of Governor Capper for United States Senator. There were several speakers: Mrs. A. R. Jackson, chairman of the Federation Board of Directors, pledged the support of the club ladies and Mrs. G. W. Hamilton, member of the Women's Welfare Workers, also pledged their support to Governor Capper. Speeches were made by Meura, Robt, Batton, Elisha Scott, Chas, Astwood, of Kansas City, Rev. R. Davis and Nick Chiles. Governor Capper was present and with him was Mr. Harry Wright, his campaign manager: Mr. J. W. Johnson, of Clay Center and Mr. Con VanNatta, one of Shawnee's leading Republicans and an active campaigner for Governor Capper and a tried, true friend of the colored race. Mr. Wright is one of the best known and best liked men in Kansas, and as a campaign engineer has no superlors. He has been with the Governor in every fight he has ever made, and it was the Right Mr. Wright who made Hon. Jay E. House twice mayor of Topeka. He knows more colored men and women by Topeka Plaindealer name than any white man in the state, and he has their confidence and respect. He is honest, fair and square with them, and they are willing to trust him. Too much praise cannot be given the ladies Federation who served the banquet. There were plenty of good things to eat and everybody had an enjoyable time. The two musical numbers on the program that were especially fine was the solo by Mrs. Cecelia Thompson and the selection by the Liberty quartette, which is composed of Misses Syvla Newman, Thressa Larker, Kathryn Newman and Eva Barker. The following resolution was introduced by Mrs. G. W. Hamilton and unanimously adopted. Whereas, This is a time when men of known integrity and power are needed in the legislative branch of our government; and Whereas, We not only know Arthur Cupper to be a man of this type, but one in whom the people of this country can entrust their welfare; and Whereas, Our confidence in him is not based on what he promises to do, but that which he has done; we Resolve, To give him our vote and support, to the end that he may know us never before, the high esteem in which he is held by the people of his home city, for the magnificent life he has, led and the great good he has accomplished in not only our home city, but the state and nation This was one of the finest gatherings of ladies and gentlemen that over assembled in Topeka to discuss political events and things pertaining to the interest of the race. There was never so much enthusiasm shown at a meeting, as was displayed at this gathering. Everybody was earnest and serious in their praises of Governor Capper for in him they think they will have a man who is fair and impartial to all alike. They have always found him to be fair to everybody while governor and the colored people are proud that he has served them as governor, for several important cases that have come up before him, which involved the liberty of colored men from the South and they would have been lynched had they been returned to these states. Governor Capper is opposed to segregation and black laws and always opposes these evils bitter'y. In response to all the speeches the Governor assured the colored people that J. he was in favor of the enforcement of the laws upon all alike and that if elected to the United States Senate he would do all he could to enact a law that would break up lynching and outrages of the colored people in the South. He is opposed to lynching of colored people in the South, and such a law would apply to all states alike. He said he was opposed to peonage and all outrages that are being perpetrated upon; the colored people; that he is as firm against these outrages as he is against the kaiser. He is in favor of any thing that will help to put down kaiserism. After the speeches, a formal reception was held and everybody shook hands with the Governor, assuring him that he would have their undivided support. Several speakers referred to the fact that Governor Capper denounced the Saint Louis riots and he praised the colored soldiers in the draft, say that not a colored man had appeared before him seeking exemption from service.

COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN U. Exercises Greatest Ever—Iron Hand of Czar Parks is Crushed. The exercises at Western University last week were all that could be expected and much credit is due Prof. Shannon French, acting president, for the great success in the commencement exercises and carry-q no prow show out to you for the late President H. A. Kealing. Everything was carried out as though he was living and present. Prof. Irene understood the work and the wishes of Dr. Kealing and the showing of the class departments were fully up to the expectations of those present and the students who graduated felt proud that they attended the school. Much credit is to be given Miss Smith and Mr. Geo. K. Williams, registrar of the University... Miss Smith is an accomplished stenographer and was private secretary to Dr. Kealing for a number of years. She is a graduate of this school. Miss Rose Bertha, instructor of English, announced her engagement to Mr. Harry Primus, one of Chicago's progressive young men, the marriage will take place in June. Miss Bertha has the good will not only of the faculty and students, but a host of friends in Kansas and elsewhere. On Tuesday the board of Trustees and a few friends had the pleasure of being served to a fine five course Slender by Miss Littie Kelly, instructor in domestic science, and whom we must say is one of the most accomplished ladies holding such a place in the country irrespective of color. After dinner, she gave a splendid lecture upon how to prepare food and how to economize in the conservation of food and we never heard a more instructive and intelligent lecture in our life. The following gentlemen were present at the dinner, Ileut, W. A. Bettis, Rev, William Peck, of St. Louis; Rev, M. S. Briant, Rev, J. C. Owens, Prof, Sielton Prutch, Nick Chiles, U S Guer, and Rev, H. W. King. After the dinner a silver offering was taken and given to the young ladies who graduated. The officers of the United States Government has contracted with the trustees and with the faculty to instruct 150 draftsmans along different trades in the mechanical department during the summer months which speaks well for the institution. Bishop Parks Trials to Rule Like the Old Kaiser. Od Wailer. The patrons, students and board of trustees of Weastin University are to be congratulated upon the election of Dr. F. Jesse Peck as its president. Much honor and credit is due Rev. Ransom, Rev. King and Rev. Owens and Mr. Bell, of Atchison for standing like a stone wall for the election of Dr. Peck. While Bishop Parks stood for Rev. W, H, Peck, of St. Louis, a brother of the scholarly Topekan, and Lawyer U. S. Guyet stood for Prof. J. P. King, of Kansas City and Rev. Owens was for Prof. Gregg, of Kansas City, on the first two ballots. The board set on Tuesday and could have elected a president the same day, but Bishop Parks, who was stubbornly and blind as to what was going on, insisted on adjournment from time to time with the hope of electing Rev. W. I. Peck, whom it seemed he had promised this place without consulting the wishes of the other trustees until it was too late. This should ever be a warning to other bishops and to Bishop Parks, who does not live on the district where his work is located. We so notified Bishop Parks some years ago that it was wrong for a bishop to take the money of the people of his district and reside among a people whom he did not serve. We further told him through The Plaindealer that he could not keep in touch with his pastors by so doing. There is much work to be done and much to learn but he insisted on living in gay Chicago thinking he could hold sway over this district, and he was reappointed at the last general conference over the process of thousands of members of the A. M. E. church who believed he was not doing them justice by reselling in Chicago while there is a fine episcopal residence in Kansas City, Kan., and where his humble members were often in need of his assistance. But he with his autocratic idea that bishop must be all to himself and that he is a kaiser or orator over all, continued to have his way. He, however, struck a snug in Kansas, this state being endowed with the spirit of John Brown and will not suffer autocracy or that which savors of slavery to be imposed upon her people, therefore his strongest supporters both in the ministry and on the outside of the church decided that it was best to take up the work and see to it that M. H. BISHOP H. B, PARKS, Whose Autocratic Power Was Crushed at Western University. BISHOP H. B, PARKS, Whose Autocratic Power Was Crushed at Western University. .... .... ..... neither the church nor the school suffered After Bishop Parks had heard the wishes of the administration and the taxpayers of Kansas who support Western University, he turned a deaf ear and insisted on bringing another man to the school. Much credit is due Rev. W. H. Peck for as soon as he found out the condition of things, he went to Bishop Parks and asked that iron handed individual to support his brother, Dr. F. J. Peck, because he did not know conditions as they were or he would not have been on the grounds opposing his brother. Theodore Roosevelt never wielded a tougher stick than Bishop Parks, who did everything he could to coerce the election of his candidate, but it was of no force and effect. He even went to Kansas City, Mo., and brought wardhealers and political wire pullers on the scene, thinking that they might be able to enforce his wishes upon the cultured people of Kansas. It was like pitching peak off the back of an elephant. Kansas is paying the bills and Kansas is going to dictate the policy Bishop Parks, president of the board, to show his autocratic power and how keenly he felt the piercing sting of defeat, at the closing exercises on Thursday, when several hundred people were assembled, he would not introduce the newly elected president of Western University and when his attention was called to the fact, it was while the doxology was being sung, and he called a halt in the midst of the singing and proclaimed to the audience that they had elected a new president, a Mr. Peck, and then had the singing continued. When the board met in session, he is reported as saying to President Peck, shaking his finger in his face. "Yes I was opposed to you for I did not think you were competent for the position." If anyone had told us that the African Price $1.50 Per Year BRYDEN FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF INSURANCE. Assistant Seeks Promotion on His Ability to do the Work. Mr. W. J. Bryden, now assistant state superintendent of insurance announces himself as a candidate for superintendent, subject to the Republican primaries in August. Mr. Bryden is one of Kansas' staunch young men and came up from the ranks and file of the laboring class. He was a miner for a number of years in Osage county and was employed at the Santa Fe shops for several years. He was born in West Virginia, June 24, 1877 and came to Kansas with his parents in THE NEW YORK TIMES MR. W. J. BRYDEN 1881, first settling in Osage county. His father was a Scotchman and one of the pioneer miners of Osage county. Young Bryden is well liked by the laboring classes and business men and farmers of that county and was elected as clerk of the district court in 1905 in which position he served for four years with honor and credit. In 1909 he was elected to the state legislature where he made a first-class representative and assisted in passing some of the best laws of that session. He was then appointed by Mr. Charlie Barnes, who was state superintendent, to the office he now holds and held this position for the past nine and one-half years. He is an upright Christian gentleman; patriotic, a member of the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and other organizations which are working for the interests of the entire country. He practically has no opposition and his nomination and election are assured by a large majority. Methodist church had a bishop of this type, we would not have believed it. Bishop Parks has always posed as a diplomat and polished gentleman and willing to accept the will of the majority, but he played ally politics in this matter. We do not believe the rabbit and goat Democratic politicians of Kansas City, Mo., would have resorted to any smaller acts than Bishop H. B Parks in his effort to defeat Dr. H. Jesse Peck. The people of the Fifth district and the A. M. E. church are proud of the election of Dr. Peck and we venture the assertion that he will make one of the best presidents the University ever had and there will be some wonderful improvements in the next year or two. He will have the undivided support of the governor, state administration and the next legislature in securing an appropriation for the continuance of the great work, Bishop Parks and his Kansas City, Mo., ward heaters to the contrary notwithstanding.

There will be twelve demonstrating agents on the farm this summer and instruction in home economics will also be given. An appropriation has been secured from the Smith Hughes fund for agricultural purposes.

The Government will also furnish teachers to assist. The school has 320 acres of land, forty in wheat, forty in alfalfa, today in corn and eighteen acres in trunk.

Prof. Marquess has devoted much of his time this year making speeches in the interest of liberty bonds and the Red Cross work and has accustomed great results. He speaks in the highest terms of the Governor and members of the board who are rendering every assistance possible to make the school a success. Or course no one can make a success of an institution like this in one or two years but it takes many to build it up where it ought to be especially when it was found in a bad condition, left so by men who had nothing but personal interests. Prof. Marquess has a fine family Mrs. Marquess is doing much to assist in building up the women's work around Oklahoma. She is a great worker and is loved and respected by her sex. They have three children who are the pride of the household. Prof. Marquess is doing what he can to secure a large appropriation for new buildings, such as a laundry, girls' dormitory and many other things necessary to make the school what it ought to be and it is the duty of the colored people of Oklahoma to stand by him and give him proper support.
