Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Twentieth Year. No. 25. ```markdown ``` Missouri Masons and Kansas Odd Fellows Depart from the Landmark. We note that the Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Missouri has called off the annual meeting of that body this year giving the war as a reason for so doing, and the District Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of Kansas has followed suit. Where these men get their authority to call off the meeting of the grand body is more than we are able to understand. This is an outrage and disgrace to colored orders in this country. These men have violated the constitution and by-laws of the order as well as departed from the land-mark. Away back before the coming of the Saviour there were always an annual meeting or fist or gathering of the representatives of the various bodies to discuss the past and future of the people and even in the days of the Saviour, people had certain times when they uttered then. Now these w gathered together. Now these colored men are even violating the land marks of the Saviour. There is no excuse why the war should stop the meeting of these bodies but the war should be all the more acute for the meetings. In the service of the army, there are men who are Masons. Old Fellows members of other ors, and it is the duty of these organizations to meet and discuss matters pertaining to their families and what ever aid and assistance can be given directly or indirectly to the Government to further the carrying on of this war and if they so deserved they could purchase Liberty bonds, but no money) can be voted out of these grand bodies to purchase bonds unless voted by representatives sent there to transact the business of the subordinate lords. If a grand master or representative of the grand body can defer the meeting of the grand lodge and oversteep the bounds of the constitution, then the master or representative of a subordinate organization can defer representing at the grand lodge for the reason that they had had considerable sickness and deaths in their lodge and therefore they thought it would be wise not to represent until the following year. If a grand lodge officer can violate the constitution another can also. Another thing, the many thousands of dollars that are paid out and handled by the various officers of these grand lodges should be investigated and it is the duty of the grand lodge to see that the bonded officers make a report annually in order that they can be protected by the bonding company. We doubt seriously that the meeting of the grand body if suspended by the grand officers that any funds held by the officers if inappropriated would ever be recovered but would be forever lost for the reason that the order had not lived up to its obligations. There are certain requirements of the bonding companies that the grand lodges must live up as well as the officers holding the money. This thing of deferring the grand session is automatic power and is worse than the power exercised by the kaiser of Germany. It seems that this is done for no less purpose than to perpetuate one's self in office. There are so many of our colored officers of the grand lodge and church organizations who hate to give up and will do anything to keep themselves in office. This is dishonorable for any grand officer to declare a meeting which is delegated to meet each year, set aside without the consent of the subordinate lodges which go up make the grand body. (There must be something rotten in Denmark.) or money must be short in somebody's hands and it is dangerous to have the boys meet, hoping to recover by 1919; but it is the duty of every subordinate lodge to insist that the grand body meet in its annual season as laid down by the constitution. There is more money in the country and the people are getting better wages than ever before in their lives and they're able to meet all outstanding obligations, pay their expenses to and from the grand lodge and transact such business as necessary for the good of the order. Furthermore the crucial tests of the race is now at hand and it is the duty of every colored organization to meet and discuss what they shall do and what ought to be done to further our interests in this great crisis. We are not like the white people of this country who are well fortified and grounded in their constitutional rights and liberties. We have got to fight the kaiser hard and furious in order to obtain our rights in this country over Southern kaisers who infest the Southland and who are against all the constitutional rights and happiness of the colored race of this country and by downing the kaiser of Germany, we are downing the kaiser of Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, but we cannot do that if the colored people will stay at home and shut up as a clam on account of a few dollars. It isn't the dollars we are after now it is the rights and privileges we wish to enjoy that we mostly need. All the white organizations, state and national, are giving loyal oal. pressions to the Government of their support in this time of tumul, and they are deferring none of their annual meetings. We dare say too that there will be no Baptist conventions or Methodist conferences put off on account of the war for they know it is their unbounded duty to meet and transact business and offer prayer and resolutions in order that this race may live and succeed. Now let everybody get busy and tell these czars and badgers of colored organizations to let the people who pay their money decide what they want. These arbitrary measures are detrimental to the race and the sooner we get men at the head of these organizations who are safe and sound and do not assume too much authority from the fact that they are not able to understand what it means but assume that it gives them all power from the land-mark which they are not able to comprehen. Let every grand lodge and subordinate lodge and church organization meet and discuss the war and its relations to the race. REV. RANSOM'S PUBLIC OPINION ELOQUENT DIVINE PRAISES OUR BELOVED BISHOP PARKS.

RANSOM, 212 Pine Street "NELS" CREWS TAKES THE BISHOP'S PART Great Editor Uses Powerful Journal in the Defense of Justice. The following article appeared as an editorial in the Kansas City Sun on June 1st "The violent, libelous and unwanted attack in the columns of The Topka Handcaker on Bishop H. H. Park should provoke not only the story resentment of every legal African Methodist in the Fifth Episcopal District, but should cause those of the faith who have hurt aid and counsel to this site assault on our beloved Bishop to hang their hands in shame. "The reason the once useful Plainclad has degenerated into a mere handbill is because its editor has invariably attacked those who are doing good and constructive work for You and the race, and it has brought him to grief more than once. "Other reputable men attacked have put him in jail for just such offenses and the Bishop will only be doing his duty by bringing suit for criminal label against that paper and also asking $10,000.00 damages, which the editor has behosting said he possessed. Shame on the Plaindealer and its editor." ...To our Friend, Nelson Ceasar Crews, ex-Barber, exClerk of Police Court, ex.Grand Master Missouri Masons, ex- Government Farm Inspector, ex-Di- ciple of Webb Davis, ex-Traveling Vender of Shrine and Scottish Rite Masonry; Secretary of Masonic Relief Fund; Chief Adviser of the A. M. E. church of Missouri and Bishop Parks Local Representative of Allen Chapel, also Editor of the Kansas City Sun: 'My dear All Around ex-Representative and Friend: Through the columns of very esteemed journal of June 1st you gave some of your visionary criti- cisms as to our attitude toward Bishop Parks in his action over the election of the president of Western Univer- city in the month of May. The article was intended to enlighten the public A MODEL, UP-TO. We take pleasure in calling our readers attention to the largest incorporated and most prosperous business operated by race people in the state of Kansas. The Home Drug Co., located at 1512 N. Fifth street, Kansas City, is a modern drug store carrying a complete line of oral sundries and a full line of high-grade cigars and tobacco and confections with a prescription department second to none in the city, in charge of Dr. H. W. Dillard, assisted by Dr. J. W. Egester, late of Meharry Medical college, both of whom are pharmaceutical chemists and specialists in compounding drugs. A prompt delivery department is at the disposal of their patrons from 8 a. m to 11:30 p. m. Six persons are employed in conducting the business and courteous treatment to the public in their motto. A careful invoice would show the establishment 1 to be carrying a stock of goods worth not less than $7,000. Their new sanitary, less sodium fountain is busy at all times, where cool, refreshing sodas and sandwiches are dispensed, only pure fruits and syrups being used. A new sanitary silver service has recently been installed where each patient dish and glass is used but once and then destroyed. This being the only store in the city using this late service. For 20 years a drug business has been established at this location, but did not flourish as today, until the president of the present company, Mr. Wallis Allen, gave up his various business interests and devoted his full diers are Full of Fight on the short.comings of the Bishop and for the benefit of other bishops who might follow in his footsteps and those of his associates and for the good of other men of the race who hold exalted positions as a warning not to use the office for selfish purposes or for autocracy or kaiserism. We are sorry your foresight was so short that you could not look down the line for future ages to come and see the intention of the editorial... if you would devote your paper to the upbuilding of the race instead of for your own personal interests, you would probably succeed in getting your paper outside of Kansas City, Mo. We have always wondered why The Topeka Plaindealer has such a large and growing circulation in Kansas City, and now we have found out! It is because the people want a man behind the gun with backbone and thinking capacity. We do not charge for the printing of little locals telling of births, deaths, visitors, marriages, etc., to make The Plaindaler a success; that is a violation of the Government law unless said articles are marked paid advertising, nor do we we defend any man like Bishop Parks or anyone else in order to incur their favor so as to get a few dollars to keep this great Moral Guide and Christian Educator on its weekly rounds. We are free and independent of everybody from the president down to the barber who presides over the destinies of the Sun, whose numerous exs shows, that he has made a success of nothing. All of the loyal African Methodists of the Fifth District are with us in our comment upon the action of the Bishop and they do not look upon it as a personal matter as you do but view it as a benefit to all and an object lesson to all who may be invested with the same power as the Bishop. We believe that our loyalty, to the A. M. E. church cannot be questioned for we sit in the pews and pay our dues and obey the rules of the church about as well as the average member and we know we come as near living up to the tenets of the Christian religion as laid down by the Saviour as the next one or as close as our friend Crews. Now in reference to the statement of The Topeka Plaindealer degenerate into a mere hand bill we would like to say that this 'hand bill' is set up and printed by colored men and women on our own $2,250 linotype machine; printed and folded on our modern $2,000 press and housed under its own roof—the rent man being a total stranger. Again we swell up with pride when we gaze upon over a dozen accomplished young men and women the "hand bill" has graduated as linotype operators, pressmen, job printers, clerks, etc., who have gone out into the world earning good salaries or conducting business for them. -NOW DRUG STORE time to its improvement and it is now run on a good solid, firm basis. Being a farsighted, level-headed business man, he studied the needs and wants of the public and took steps to accommodate them. Today each customer who enters is greeted courteously and waited on promptly. This spot is also the pivotal point around which all racial activities of the city and state turn. It is the central meeting place of the city's colored population. A large room has been fitted up as a committee room and several organizations hold weekly and monthly meetings here. Being the headquarters of the Grand Chancellor of the state, it is the meeting place of various lodges and committees. The ministers of the city, the Negro Civic League, a state wide organization; the Medical Society; and the Association of Railway Mall Clerks ```markdown ``` hold their meetings at this point Race journals and magazines are found on hand at all times Whenever you are warm and weary from the summer's heat, step in and enjoy a cool soda under the breeze of the electric fan or if you are at home and need an item from their drug department or a spirit of the city's first ice cream, call West 350 and order same. They strive to please. They ask your patronage not only upon the basis of rate pride, but because they have made good, their prices are right, their aim is honorable and their goods first. Give them a trial when you need anything in their line. ht and Bearing an Eq selves. We discuss the making up of The Plaindealer with our colored foreman; a bright colored girl signs our checks, pays the help, etc., and still another looks after the printing of all job work, besides others who earn a comfortable living as travelling agents. Truly the "hand bill is proud of its efficient and well paid workers; also of our OWN modern plant. What about Craws' Sun? Well it is set up printed and folded in a white man's office where the great editor is compelled to remove his hat, bow, grin, and address the foreman as Mr. while he must be satisfied with being called "Nelse" by the office devil and the white man who sweeps the floor. Mr. Craws cannot dictate or employ a colored boy or girl in this white man's office, yet the few dollars derived from the sale of space for news items to his colored patrons has to be split with the white man who does the printing. The extent of Mr. Craws' holdings in the way of newspaper equipment are the words, "The Kansas City Sun" which appear across the top of that journal. The ten thousand readers of The Topeka Plaindealer are proud of this hand bill, the old people read and pay for it while the children cry should it fail to arrive under the parental roof. The Plaindealer is a well known and highly appreciated visitor into every hamlet and nook in the United States, Mexico and the isles of the sea. As to our being brought to grief, we do not recall any such time but men of your caliber have threatened to cause grievous trouble for us viz: Vardiman, of Mississippi, who offered $1,000 for our head; Tillman, of South Carolina and hundreds of other Negro hating white men of the South have offered all classes of prizes for us, but we have contented ourselves by staying in Kansas where human rights are respected. We have never yet been sent to jail but have been threatened with a sentence several times for the reason that we have exposed the dark corner of matters of which the Interior appeared to be very bright and cheerful and whose inhabitation were persons who were trying to thief the public by getting something for nothing. No reputable man ever attempts to jail anyone who gives an honest expression or notification of the approach of outlaws and vampires who prey upon the community. That is the measure of a reliable newspaper man—one who will warn the people to flee from the wrath to come and against the "highbinders" and leeches who seek the advantage from time to time. Now as to the suit for $10,000 libel which you claim the editor boastingly sald he possessed, we have no memory of ever charging ourselves with bearing worth that sum. We would like to see even a photograph of a colored editor who can boast of having $10 surplus that he had earned from his newspaper. We have a job printing office in connection with the newspaper and real estate that helps to keep us going, and we welcome the day when we can blow of having earned $10,000 from a paper published in the interest of the race, but the race is becoming rapidly educated to the value of a good, well edited paper that defends their rights and a man who is not looking for emoluments and honors for writing editorial comment. We wish to call special attention to the fact that while The Plaindealer has four pages, twenty-four columns we compared it with your eight page seven column paper, excluding the picture of Rev. Hurse and several other pictures that appear in the Sun every third week and with the church notes and "patent" sheet that no one reads, you have only eight and one half columns of news matter and The Plaindealer/ranges from twelve to fifteen columns of solid news matter each week. While the cost of paper advanced and people were raising the price of their products, and the Government issued an order to conserve the news print, we did the fair thing by the Government and our patrons, that is left the price the same and reduced the size one-half. On the other hand you increased the price of the Sun and reduced the amount of news matter, without regard to the Government or the handful of people who take the Sun. Our 10,000 readers are proud of The Plaindealer because we know how to dish up editorial matter that is elevating to the public, and it is doing wonderful work in bringing about a more friendly relation among the races. Our subscription list shows that five hundred white people read and pay for The Plaindealer. If you think that you and the good Bishop have been damaged to the extent of $10,000, the courts are now open and no doubt if you secure a judgment you may be able to collect a few dollars from us in Shawnee county as the tax rolls show that we are listed there and you will get all the court would allow. We hope the Sun can say as much. Yours truly, NICK CHILES, Editor, KANSAS BOYS TAKE TECHNICAL TRAINING The Western University Training attachment at Western University had its formal opening on Monday, June 17th, when one hundred and three young men from all parts of the state were enrolled in the various branches of the school as outlined by the Gov- Price $1.50 Per Year of e. ur ill as. so it le is in ed government. The Government realizing the urgent need of skilled mechanics selected these men to take up special training which will prepare them for work necessary in connection with the execution of the war. At the assembly at 1 p.m. the men were addressed by Vice President French, who introduced President F. Jesse Peck and Dr. J. R. Ransom, who made timely speeches urging loyalty and patriotism in all events. Lieut. W J. Ferguson, the commanding officer also spoke of the rigidity of the Government relative to health of the men, as well as their training. The young men are from various districts of Kansas, are all fine specimens of manhood, bright, industrious and typical of the intelligent and refined classes of the state. A large number are high school graduates, several college graduates and all being graduates of grammar schools. Over 35 of them made a preference for the electrical work to be used in connection with motor instruction which will be received later. Twenty were enrolled in general blacksmithing; twenty horse-shoeing; twenty in carpentry; and ten in concrete construction work. At the conclusion of this course they will be assigned to various branches of the army service. The course lasts 60 days.

A MOVEMENT WORTHY OF YOUR HEARTY SUPPORT To The Public: The Kansas Defense Society of which Nick Chiles is president, has employed three attorneys to assist in bringing habeas corpus proceedings in the United States court to secure the release of the thirty-nine court martialled soldiers of the Twenty fourth infantry now incarcerated in the Federal prison at Leavenworth. The Society intends to make the organization an interstate affair, principally in the state of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and the western country and parts of the South. Each person who pays $1,000 will become a member and we shall employ attorneys to look after the internal strife and the abridgment of the constitutional rights of the race in cities and towns where prejudiced white people subject the race to Jim Crow laws, etc. It is very essential especially in Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas that the colored people should take hold of this organization and support it because they have more complications in school matters than any other states in the Union. Now we propose to take up matters of this kind and fight them out on the different lines until we have secured for them the rights to which they are entitled. Now let us hear from you. Don't be a slacker or a critic but come on and the President of this organization will show you how to accomplish things. If you think your money will be thrown away, misused or misappropriated do not send it—we do not want the money of any fault finder, knocker or one who has never done anything for the upbuilding of the race. We want to work in pence and harmony with those who wish to accomplish some good. We shall be glad to visit any community where arrangements can be made for a meeting of this kind and talk to the people. Let us know and we will be glad to respond to the call and explain matters and conditions as they exist. Address Nick Chiles, President, Kansas Institute Society, 1129 Kansas Avenue Topkea, Kansas. AMERICAN WOODMEN AGENT IS MAKING FINE SHOWING We are proud to announce to the public that much credit is the Mr. W. G. Books state advisor of the American Woodmen, whose office is located at 436 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, for the great work he has and is doing in building up this great order which is doing so much for the elevation of the race along insurance lines. The order is paying thousands of dollars into the hands of the colored people each year, issuing policies ranging from $700 to $2000. Anyone wishing to know about the American Washburn, write Secretary of State J. T. Butkin, Topeka, as the company is an incorporated under the laws of Colorado, but have filed under the laws of Kansas in order to operate in this state. Mr. Banks with his wife and two sons are making their home in Kansas City. The two boys will soon be writing insurance also as they are now being tutored by their father and we shall expect great things of them. COLORED MEN AS HOME GUARDS Opinion of Officials of Several Different States. Austin, Texas, April 20th, 1918 Sir:—This acknowledges you letter of April 13th, suggesting the advisability of authorizing the organization of two or more colored regiments in the State of Texas. The war department has authorized the formation of two regiments of cavalry and one brigade of infantry, but under that authority arrangements have been made to use white soldiers altogether. Should the War Department later suggest formation of colored regiments, I would be glad to consider the matter. Yours sincerely, W. P. HOBBY, Governor of Texas. Jackson, Miss, April 17, 1918. Nick Chiles, Editor, Topeka Plain Dealer, Toneka, Kan. Dear Sir:—Yours of the 15th inst received. I have noted with interest your suggestion that I encourage the organization of colored regiments as Home Guards. I can not give my consent to this proposition. Our negroes are being drafted along with the whites, and those that are not drafted are needed for Agricultural and industrial work. The Home Guards of Mississippi will be composed of whites only. Yours truly, THEO. G. BILBO, Governor. Frankfort, Ky., April19th, 1918 Mr. Nick Chiles, Toneka, Kansas. Dear Sir:—Your favor of April 13th to hand with reference to the formation of colored regiments of the State Militia. I regret to advise you that the finances of the State did not justify the legislature to authorize the organization of a state Militia. A small appropriation was made for the organization of four or five companies to act temporarily until the close of the war. These companies so authorized have already been provided for. There is no appropriation for an additional guard. Yours very truly, A.J.O. STANLEY, (Governor). Jefferson City, Mo., April 18, 1918. Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor The Topeka Plaindealer, Toneka, Kansas. Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 13th instant addressed to the Governor has been referred to this office. The National Guard of this State was drafted into federal service on August 5th. We have recently organized a regiment of infantry at Kansas City under the National Guard law, and the further organization of National Guard troops is not contemplated at this time. We have a number of Home Guard organizations in this state which are uniformed from funds raised by public subscription in the localities in which they are stationed. The federal government does not furnish uniforms for Home Guard troops, and there is no state appropriation for such purpose. Yours truly. H. WHITE. Adjutant General. Raleigh. N.C. April 19, 1918. Raleigh, N. C., April 19, 1918. Editor The Topoka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: This letter is in reply to your favor of the 13th of April, addressed to his Excellency, Governor T. W. Buckett. You are advised that the policy with reference to the organization of the Reserve Mintia for service during the present emergency does not contemplate the organization of colored troops in this state. Very truly yours. LAWRENCE W. YOUNG. The Adjutant General. Charleston, W. Virginia, Apr. 17, 1918 Mr. Nick Chiles. Topeka, Kansas. My dear Sirz—Replying to your letter of the 13th instant, prior to the time that the West Virginia National Guard was called into service, I took steps to organize a regiment of colored troops but was unable to get permission from the War Department to create any new units of the National Guard. Unfortunately the Legislature of this state declined to authorize me to create new regiments of home guards. Very truly yours. J. JAMISON, Governor. Nashville, Tenn., April 25, 1918. Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor, The Tepeka Plain Dealer, Tenn. Dear Sir-- I am in recent of your letter of the 19th inst. asking that some special consideration be given to colored currents of this State by the organization of some regiments of State Militia and Home Guards to be equipped and drilled, and to be in readiness in case there should be a call made for 100,000 additional colored soldiers to be used in the present war. In reply I beg to say that we have no law in Tennessee authorizing the organization of Home Guard companies and only such regiments of State Militia or National Guard may be organized as are authorized by the Federal Government. I am engaged at this time in organizing two regiments of National Guard for home service, but there is no State law authorizl of Home Guards. Very respectfully TOM C. RYE. Washington, D.

Falling Hair. Itching Scalp, etc., have been tee having charge of the bill which I introduced preventing discrimination against the colored soldiers. I did not write you there was a law preventing such discrimination, but did write you that we had passed such a provision through the Senate. This provision was defeated in conference. After it was defeated, and after I received your letter, I introduced a bill to prevent such discrimination, and it is now pending before the Committee on Military Affairs of the Senate. They have been so busy with their hearings in regard to war measures that they have not taken this measure up. In addition to that the Chairman has been quite sick. I hope that they will soon take up the measure. With kind regards, I am Very truly yours, CHARLES CURTIS. Nick Chiles, Esq. City of Jefferson, Mo., April 16, 1918. Hon. Nick Chiles. Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: The Governor directs me to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 13th inst., relative to the organization of colored regiments of Home Guards, and advises that same has been referred to Adjutant General H. C. Clark, Jefferson City, Mo. Secretary to the Governor. Montgomery, Alabama, April 24, 1918 Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor, The Topeka Plamdealer, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir:—Acknowledging yours of the 13th in reference to raising regiments for duty as state militia and home guards, to be tendered the government in case of additional calls, after they have been equipped and truned. Several months after the declaration of war we had a request from the department at Washington that no additional units of the national guards be raised by the states. Since that time we have had no other information as to the desires of the department along this line, and, consequently, felt no interest in the subject. We suppose that it is the desire of the government to create its army under the regular machinery that has been instituted. Respectfully yours, institute. Respectfully CHAS. HENDERSON, Governor. Columbia, S. C., April 18, 1918. Nick Chiles, Editor, The Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kans. I am in receipt of your letter of the 13th inst., in regard to the organization of the formation of colored regiments of Home Guards. In this State we have already organized as many units of the Reserve Militia as I think necessary, and therefore I do not see my way clear to authorize the organization of a colored regiment. RICH.
