The Plaindealer Topeka, Kan., June 6, 1918. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President, United States of America, Washington, D. C. My dear President: As editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, which voices the sentiment not only of the colored people, but of a large percentage of the better class of white people in this country, we visited the exclusive colored town of Boley Oklahoma, a few weeks ago, and the people there wish me to avail to you that they are among you in this great struggle for democracy and freedom of the people and against the kaiser, busting, burning and destroying property and human life. They wish me to inform you that they raised $17,760 for the third liberty loan. Boley is an agricultural town, and the colored farmers control about ten miles square. They were driven to this spot from Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Mississippi because of oppression in those states; and they have established a little town with a population of something over two thousand, twenty-four hundred. They have their own bank, of which all the officers are colored. This bank has over $20,000 in deposit and paid out $1,000,000 during the past year. They have cotton guns, a corn mill, water works, and electric lights; there is one railroad which runs through the town, and it depot agent and telegraph operators are accomplished men and give good and faithful service. Boley has been organized for the past fifteen years, and the settlers were chiefly from rural districts, and in the early day it was an ordinary thing to see diapidated wagons drawn by oxen and mule teams; but on our recent visit there, on Saturday, we saw over seventy-five automobiles and not a Ford among them, all owned by these colored farmers and businessmen. The town has grown wonderfully—there are large dry goods and mercantile stores where young colored boys and girls are employed as clerks and bookkeepers. We found a first-class post-office and the postmaster and clerks overworked. Mr. Simmons, who is a democrat, made one of the best postmasters in Oklahoma. He has great faith in you and the Democratic party. To our surprise we found the chairman of the Democratic Township Central Committee, Mr. Bradley, a colored man, and Justice of the Peace, was unable to have the party locate a voting precinct in the town, and the citizens had to spend nearly $1,000 and go into court in order to have a voting precinct. We believe the party ought to give their colored adherents better consideration. The people of Boley want it thoroughly understood that they are with you in this great struggle, and they feel sure you want to do what is fair between man and man, and that is the reason they are investing their money into liberty bonds and contributing to the Red Cross and their sons are volunteering their service for the defense of this flag to crush oppression and killerism in all foreign lands and forever keep it from the shores of America, hoping that this will better their condition in this country. The information received by them is that you informed a committee some time ago that you did not know of the outrages committed upon the colored people of this country. They want you to know that a woman and her child were lynched within fifteen miles of this town and not one thing was done to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime; that at Chickasha a short time ago a colored army officer, Lieutenant Trubbess, was arrested officer, en route to Camp Doniphan under orders from the government to report there for duty, for the reason that he was traveling in a Pullman and had secured his birth before entering the state of Oklahoma, and because he chose to ride in comfort he was arrested at this town and finely by the judge of the city court $7,000 and cost, amounting to $24,00. and they would like to have you have these authorities refund this money to this young colored officer, who was en route to the army to properly preen himself to put up a defense in a town hall. They want you to know that you are unusual thing to see colored soldiers riding in the front end of a smoking car while white soldiers ride with ease and surrounded with luxury in a Pullman, and when serving at entailing stations the colored soldiers are not allowed to eat at the lunch counters or in the dining room but are comelled to carry their meals away in their hands (in like manner as wealthy people, when traveling, feed their doos). A telegram was sent the white 'Red Cross Chapter of Chickasha informing them that two sick soldiers were to be tak- Gepeka Plaindealer en from the train, and requested that they meet the train. They had the ambulance draped with white linen and decorated with flowers and ordered the driver to the train. When the train arrived, however, it was found that the sick soldiers were colored soldiers, and the white women threw up their hands in disgust and drove away, and the driver is reported as saying that he would rather haul dogs than to convey these men to a place of comfort. These soldiers were finally taken to the hospital and placed on the outside in the cold, and the colored Red Cross ladies demanded that the soldiers be given into their care. We want to call your attention to this, as you are President of the Red Cross Association. We are likewise requested to inform you that 60 per cent of the drifters who reported for duty in the different cantonments could not read or write, and these came principally from Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, and some did not even know their names. This illiteracy is caused by the prejudiced white people who do not wish the colored citizens to receive an education and resort to the vilest methods to prohibit the building of school houses and the providing and maintaining of teachers to give the necessary instruction so as to make intelligent citizens of their colored inhabitants. The people of Boley wish you to know that the colored farmers and railroad employees have subscribed liberally to the liberty loan, hoping that in crushing kaiserism and outrages upon women and children in Belgium it will also put an end to similar crimes in this country, such as the lynching, burning and outraging men, women, and children of the colored race here in America. Peonage still exists in some of the southern states: Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. It is desired that you be informed of the fact that not a single colored man, so far as we know, has been a member of the draft boards in any of the several counties in the United States, and yet thousands of colored men are being called to the colors. They approve of the commuting of the death sentence of the two soldiers who were sentenced to death for sleeping on duty in France, realizing as they do the extenuating circumstances under which these men were forced to work, and they are glad that you had the Christian heart to see that justice was meted out to these men, and we have implicit confidence that had the case of the thirteen soldiers who were executed last December at Fort Sam Houston been reviewed by you, they would be living today; and we feel that the forty old soldiers of the 21st Infantry now incarcerated in the federal prison at Leavenworth will receive similar consideration as you have these two white soldiers in France. The colored people are loyal, and at this critical time are proving that fact, for there is not a striker, slacker, or spy among the members of my race. Now, my dear President, these loyal American citizens ask that you give an expression if you can consistently do so, to the American public, calling their attention to the fact that you do not approve of these outrages, and that you hope they will desist from committing them, and insist on dramatic measures to apprehend these white people who commit these crimes or colored people of this country, Every German or foreigner who has come to this country has had more liberty and rights than the most highly respected and progressive colored citizen. We wish also to inform you that General Pershing has already reported of the many heroic deeds that are now being performed by colored soldiers in the American army in France. One or two at a time are capturing from twenty to thirty Germans. Yet while they are over there fighting to defend the hauler, their mothers, children, wives and sisters are being grossly mistreated by a certain class of white people in this country, chiefly of the southern states, and are denied equal rights of the law and denied the privilege of exercising the right of franchise, and are driven from their homes in many communities. It is commendable that these prisoners are putting up such a fight in France, when at the same time their hearts are burdened with relief at the thought of the crimes that are perpetrated upon their people in this country. We would have you know also, that we want our surgeons who are in the army services assigned to the same duties as the white physicians and promoted when they merit it, and we would like to have colored trained nurses placed in the base hospitals. We believe too, that Colonel Young, who was retired because of jealousy, as he was in line for promotion to general, be restored to his command and be allowed to go forth and help to win this great conflict. The colored people are loyal to the core, have been in the past, and will continue to work with their might, main, and money to bring this war to a successful conclusion, so as to completely obliterate kaiserism in a foreign country, and our own as well. We are not attempting to enumerate the many thousands of crimes committed upon colored people in the last year, but are giving you a mention of a few. We are writing Mr. Tumulty and calling his attention to this letter and asking that he see that you get the contents or abstracts from this letter, for the statements herein set forth are true, to the beat of our knowledge, so help us God! NICK CHILDs, Editor. The Topeka Plaindealer, Subscribed and sworn 40 before me this 6th day of June, 1918. EDNA GREENE, Notary Public (Seal) Commission expires March 17, 1921. P. S. We are enclosing herewith a copy of Resolutions sent Pope Plus X of Rome in 1903, in which resolutions we protetted against the outrages upon colored people in this country, and you will notice in his reply, he asks the Catholics not to be guilty of participating in such offences. Now if the head of the holy church at Rome can answer a letter expressing his views upon the outrages of this country, the great President of the United States can surely do no less. The Resolution: Resolved; That we express our profound sorrow upon the death of Pope Leo XIII, who was a friend to common humanity, and who expressed strong sentiments against wholesale lynchings in America before his death and congratulate the Catholics upon the election of Pope Plus X as his successor, since he is a man who has risen from the common wolks of life to occupy the most exalted station in the religious world. Plea to Plus X. Since there are so many Catholics among the Negroes of the United States, who in common with others of their race, are subjected to unparalleled outrages upon the slightest provocation, involving the innocent as well as the guilty, we urge His Holiness to use his good offices among the Catholics of this country to preserve friendly relations between the races and to break down the spirit of unfairness so prevalent in labor unlaw, composed in a great measure of Catholics, which in many instances deprive the Negro of the opportunity to earn an honest living for his family. In view of the fact that the Protestant church in America, excepting in a few rare individual instances, seems to be deaf to our appeals, and seems inclined to remain silent if not actually acquiescent in the terrible outrages upon us, we request Senator Burton, of Kansas to present this resolution to the representatives of the Pole at Washington, for transmission to His Holiness at the Vatican. The Pope's Views. The reply, in the handwriting of the Pope's secretary reads as follows; "To Mr. Nick Chiles, President of the Nineteen Nine News Association." the Western Negro Press Association: "Sir; His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, has transmitted to me for presentation to His Holiness, a copy of a resolution passed by your Western Negro Press Association (August 6, 1903, at Colorado Springs, Colo., U. S. A.,) and which you have forwarded through your senator Senator J. R. Burton, of Kansas. "I have much pleasure in assuring you that His Holiness has read the resolution with interest and sympathy, and I am committed to thank you and all of your associates very cordially in his name. The sovereign Pointiff is well aware that there are many Catholics among the Negroes of the United States, and this knowledge increases his Interest in the welfare of your race. His Holiness, as the Vicar of Christ, extends his loving care to every race without exception, and he must necessarily use his good offices to urge all Catholics to befriend the Negroes, who are called, no less than other men, to share in all the great benefits of the Redemption. No New Conception. "The life and example of Saint Peter Claver and of so many other Catholics missionaries are there to show that this is no new conception of the Apostolate entrusted to the Church of Christ. "Whilst frankly admitting that crimes may often be committed by members of the Negro race, His Holiness advocates for them the justice granted to other men by the laws of the land and a treatment in keeping with the tenents of Christianity "I am confident that these sentiments are shared by the vast majority of the great American people and by those who are responsible for the economy of the principles underlying the American Constitution "R CARD MERRY DEL VAL. "March 20, 1904" Letter to Secretary Tumulty. Topeka, Kan, June 6, 1918 Mr. J. P. Tumulty, Private Secretary to the President, Washington, D. C., U. B. A., my dear麦克斯·W. A., registered and marked "personal" to which THE UNFILLED MISSION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Extract from an Able Address by Hon. James A. Troutman. your attention is called and we hope you will bring it to the notice of the President and ask him to give his public expression upon the subject matter propounded to him which would have effect upon the American people and result in much good. It is your indispensable duty as a devout Christian Catholic to carry out the wishes of Pope Plus X. You will find herein a copy of some Resolutions sent Pope Plus X at Home in the year 1983 in which we called his attention to some of the outrages committed upon the colored people of this country; and his reply to the same. Now we have been informed that it is through you that the President gets this information and through you that his views reach the American people. We learned recently that the President gave an expression that he did not know these outrages were being perpetrated in this country against the colored people and that he would give the matter proper consideration. As you are looked upon as one of those faithful adherents of true Catholicism and one who believed in the late Pope Plus X and from what we know of the Catholics of this country we believe that we will hear from you on the subject matter of these letters and we pray that the spirit of the late Pope Plus X will hover over you in such a manner that you will feel it is your rightful duty to give this down-trodden race proper consideration as there are a number of colored Catholies numbered among them. Very truly yours. Editor The Topeka Plaindealer. (From an Address of James A. Troutman at the Shawnee County Troutman for Governor Club as reported to the Topeka Dally Capital May 5, 1918) It is with pleasure that we present the following logical address of our friend and townman, Hon. James A. Troutman, and we believe it meets the approval of every true Republican in the country. Mr. Troutman is one of the few white men of today who is absolutely fair and square with the colored people. He has stood by the race in the Senate of this state, on the lecture platform and in private life, and if the past is a criterion by which to be guided, he will deal fairly with the race if elected governor. A meeting of the Shawnee County Troutman for Governor Club was held yesterday afternoon in the office of James A. Troutman, in the Mulvane building, at which the situation over the state was discussed and satisfaction expressed at condition reported. Mr. Troutman spoke briefly at the meeting, in part to follows: HON. JAMES A. TROUTMAN "The partial suspension of party activities during a crisis in the affairs of the world is not a desertion of party conviction, nor an abandonment of party organization. In proclaiming their loyalty to the administration, Republicans do not pledge it immunity from mediated críticaism, nor take the oath of allegiance to the Democratic party. When the victor and the victor quashed, at the polls, engage in patriotic granty, neither intends to form a political coalition. Each exemplifies his loyalty and assumes his responsibility, without surrendering party conviction or depreciating party organization. Religious bodies often unite in a moral crusade, without abrogating their credible or improving the other fellow's belief. They can stand shoulder to shoulder for the regeneration of the world and still maintain their denominational identity and faith. So Republicans can stand alongside of Democrats, in patriotism, without abatement of their partisan zeal or purposes. "Republicans believe their part tries to the best things in govern- ment, and, at this time, their con- tions should be stronger than ever. Through all of the mutations of years, MAN. OKLA.

Attorney W. I Jamison was in Great Bend on legal business. He was accompanied by Mrs. Jamison. While here they were pleasant callers at the homes of Mr. Arthur Robinson, Mr. Calvin Harris, and others. the Republican party has proven its right to live and to serve. The war cannot pervert its history, nor obscure its record. In the war and in peace, undaunted and undismayed, it stands upon its record, a triumphant force in the life and history of the great republic. Its mission will not end until democracy and peace are the recognized heritage of mankind. "The Democratic party, too, has a record which cannot be effaced by passing events, nor hidden by the exigencies of war. The record of both parties will survive the achievements of time and the havoc of war. "The war will lootle about party alignments a little, and disturb the equilibrium of Democrats a great deal. It will increase the need of party solidarity and sagacity. At the end of the war we will stand face to face with the chaos of a changed world. The millions of men withdrawn from peaceful vocations will return to the factories and the fields of Europe. Trends will become furrows, and our allies today will be our competitors in the fields of production tomorrow. The greatest industrial and economic problems of the centuries will be up for hold and quick solution. The continuity of our commercial life will have to be re-established, and the industrial map of the world redrawn, battleships and transports will become shuttles of peace, to weave a web of commercial destiny for bellentig nations. Then our commerce must outside every storm, defy every wind, and inside every zone. To win in the commercial race of the world, the Republican party must control the track, hold the rela, and drive. Patrolism and prosperity are inseparably blended with Republicanism in the thought, purpose and destiny of the American people." PERRY, OKLA. The funeral of Mr. J. H. Harper was held Sunday in New Prospect Baptist Church, of which Mr. Harper was a member and officer. Rev. Green of Wichita, Kann., preached the funeral sermon.

Fourteen W, Cal, OKLAHOMA, CITY, OKLA. gs SPRINGFIELD, MO. The choir of the Washington Ave. Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. H. Young is pastor, is making a great record. During the past twelve months they have given programs in and out of the large white Baptist churches and churches of other denominations in the city and in towns near the city that are populated by white citizens only. They are always cordially greeted, friendly received, and well paid. Their recent trip to Billings, Mo., with "The New Minister" netted the choir a large sum of money. Each time they have played before large crowds and have been encouraged by loud applause and asked for return engagements. They cannot accept all invitations, as they come too often, but are now preparing two programs to be given before white audiences. Mr. Charles Ellison had been sick for a week or more, but it was just a few days before his death that his family realized how seriously sick he was, what an inroad the pneumonia fever had made upon him.

Grant St., Sunday afternoon May 5th. Rev.W.II.Young of Washington Ave Baptist Church in beautiful, well chosen and sad appropriate words delivered the funeral eulogy. A part of the Baptist choir, Mrs. W. H. Young at the piano, assisted by song service, which was sweet, sad, and impressive. Rev. W. S. Webster, Pastor of Pitt's Chapel M. E. Church, added to the solemnity of the service by a beautiful, heart touching prayer. Arrangements were conducted by Undertaker W. P. Campbell. Auhomobile service was employed, and Mr. Charles Ellison was laid to rest in South Hazelwood cemetery. Relatives out of the city in attendance at the funeral service of Mr. Chas. Ellison were: Mr. Lafayette Elison and family of Kansas City, his father, Mr. G.
