He is making Leavenworth one of the best police chiefs the city ever had. He is well known over the state and United States as a fearless officer.

COLORED PEOPLE ARE FOR CAPPER Past Loyalty Wins Governor the Colored Vote for U. S. Senator. Governor Capper, leading candidate for United States Senator from Kansas has blocked all roads against his opponents for the senatorial nomination and his many friends in all sections of the state say it is impossible for anyone to even catch sight much less overtake him. They say that two-thirds of the voters made up their minds to support Gov. Capper because he has shown that he will be fair to all and will treat everybody alike, whether rich or poor, black or white. He has assured the colored voters of Kansas that he believes in their patriotism and loyalty to the Government in defending this country against kaksiism and when in the Senate he will use his voice in defense of their rights as American citizens, which they have been deprived of for the past fifty or more years. Governor Capper believes that the colored people should enjoy civil and political rights as well as anyone else. He proved his loyalty to the race when as a member of the motion picture appeal board, he declared that "The Birth of a Nation" was intended to arouse two prejudice and strife, and because of such act on his part, the picture was not admitted to Kansas. He also refused extradition for colored men denied a fair trial in Missouri courts as a shown by the following paragraph: > "Not once but many times since Governor Capper went to the state house has he stood fairly, squarely and courageously for the rights of the colored man. In the case of Geo. Brandon and his son, Frank Brandon Gov Capper stood between oppression of the black man and a fair, honest, impartial trial. An effort was made to extradite the father and son from Kansas to Calloway County, Mo. Governor Capper felt that removal of the men from Kansas, where they had lived as law abiding citizens for a year, meant an unfair trial for the men. A showing was made that an effort was really being made to get the men into Missouri to prosecute private clamms, and Gov. Capper, standing on a platform or fair and honest dealing, denied the writ." Governor Stopped an Unfair Picture to the Colored Base. "Again the Governor stood for the rights of the colored people when he fought the plan to show the 'Birth of a Nation' picture in this state. As a member of the motion picture appeal board, he Governor declared the picture tended to arouse race prejudice and strife. The picture was not admitted to Kansas. "The action of the Governor in preventing the showing of the picture elicited the following action from one of the great church conventions of the state:" "Whereas, there are a few friends here and there who believe in a square deal to the race: Whereas, there are always persons who believe in constantly heaping upon the race the great burden of race prejudice, too heavy not only for the Negro race to carry, but is in part a hindrance to the welfare of the American progress: "Whereas, our Honorable Governor Arthur Capper, who is always in favor of justice to all men without regard to color or race; "Whereas, he did step in and cause an injunction served on the part of the State against the film company to prevent the showing of the picture known as 'The Birth of the Nation' in the State of Kansas. The case is now before the district judges of the district court of Shawnee county; "Whereas, we are ever mindful of those who in reality show that they are large enough to see a wrong dealt out to a people without regard to color; "Whereas, the Honorable Governor Arthur Capper, even against the criticism of his own people is standing firm to prevent the race hatred picture to be shown in the State of Kansas; "Resolved; that we, the officers and delegates of the State Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., convention assembled, at Independence, Kan. June 29, 1917, extend Governor Copper and his private secretary, Hon. Chas. Sessions, our sincere thanks for their act of justice in this particular matter. COM ON RESOLUTIONS. GON ON RESOLUTIONS, W H Branerman, Chnin, Winfield, Kansas. (Note—The Shawnee county district court later granted the injunction and the picture will not be shown in Kansas. Protested Against East St. Louis, Illinois Outrage. Governor Cupper was the only governor to protest to President Wil- son against the crimes and outrages in East St. Louis in 1917. He demanded the most searching investiga- tion by the federal department of justice and the prosecution of the slaver and persecutors of the helpless colored men and women of the city. President Wilson was urged by Governor Capper to see that the colored people received a fair chance. In his answer to the Governor's telegram, the President said the Government would direct its efforts toward the control of the offenses. The Governor's telegram follows: To President Woodrow Wilson, Permit me to express the hope that the department of justice will conduct the most searching investigations into conditions at East Saint Louis to the end that the persons and influences leading up to the recent race riots may definitely be pointed out. If ever this country needed to use the strongest possible forces against this kind of outrage, that time is present, with the country entering the world war in the interest of democracy, freedom, a fair chance for every man regardless of color or social position. It is certainly a most humiliating circumstance that in the center of our own nation, in one of the great centers of population, a hundred or more helpless Negroes, men and women, were butchered by white men while officers of the law were present East St. Louis provides the county, with one of the most convincing proofs of the damning effects of lump. ARTHUR COPPER, Governor Topoka, July 6, 1917. COLORED LAUNDRY WOMEN SHOULD ORGANIZE. It is the duty of colored women who are engaged in the laundry business and who take the work to their homes, to organize and stand together and charge by the pound instead of a set price for the whole washing. This way of doing a large family washing for $1 and $1.25 should be made a thing of the past. Now if these women expect to earn a respectable living they should charge a living wage for their work. The laundry "high-binders" have put the price out of sight while these women continue to slave for nothing. It is a well known fact that laundry done at private homes is a saving of 60 per cent to the people because when a laundry gets through using chemicals along with the wear and tear of the machinery, clothes are very short lived. Now we want the colored preachers in different towns to see that the women who follow this business are thoroughly organized and if so great good will result from same. The sooner we get away from drones who are not progressive and work for nothing, the better off these women will find themselves. CANDIDATES IN OTHER COUNTIES LEAVENWORTH COUNTY. LABETTE COUNTY. ...

OKARCHE, OKLA This city suffered one of the most terrific and damaging storms last week in the history of this city. It blew barns to pieces, and shacks and sheds too numerous to mention; followed by heavy rains. The Coleman Brothers have added a new feeder to their new threshing machine and are doing fine work. Miss Susie Fisher has received her diploma, for which she has worked hard, and we wish Miss Fisher the best of luck. She expects to enter Emporia this fall. Mr. Elmer Selectman, who has been looking sour, has brightened up since the rain and is almost able to smile again. The people of this neighborhood seem to think awfully hard of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Taylor's actions toward Mr. and Mrs. James Coleman last week. It seems as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are overbearing. But we think their match can easily be found. Mr. and Mrs. James Coleman are respectable people, Christian people, and people that always have feelings for those who are in need. There is not a better, more open-hearted, loyal Christian man around this city than Mr. James Coleman. The people are not a bit thankful to the Taylors for their actions and have frankly told them so, and all are inclined to say that the sooner such people are out of the community, the better country we will have. Mrs. Julia Coleman says that while it was storming she was not scared. Probably not, but if she wasn't, she lived in a community that certainly was scared. PLETSBERG, KAN. Mr. Johnny A.

Resolutions Whereas, God has seen fit in His wise providence to call from our masters our beloved sister Alice Gibson, President of the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention of the Smoky Hill River District Association from labor to reward, who has presided over us eight successful years, and who has proved to be a strong and upright leader, standing at the head and making success with every effort that was put forth. Sister Gibson was elected president in Nicodemus in 1911. She was always willing and ready to do her bit faithfully, courteous and kind to all. We say to the loving husband, daughter, and sister and friends: We, the co-workers of the District, share with you in your hour of bereavement and grief with heartfelt sympathy.

Sister Gibson's parting words to us last year at the association were: "If I never meet with you any more, meet me in heaven." A precious one from us has gone, The Angel thought it best To call her home to rest. A voice is stilled in our home— God plucked the flower for His own. A loving Angel called her home To rest in Jesus' arms. A loving one from us has gone To wear a starry crown.

The two were very agreeable callers at this office. The former is a printer and was deeply interested in seeing us do it the "inotype way." In our hurry last week, we overlooked a bet when we failed to mention a pleasant visit from an old time friend, Mr. Alexander Tillery, of Chicago, who spent two enjoyable weeks in the city visiting. He came to accompany his wife back home. Mr. Tillery is employed by the railroad company as a voucher clerk and has a nice position. It was indeed a source of much pleasure when he pranced in upon our editorial carpet and spent a half hour reviewing old times. He is a fine fellow and a warm welcome always awaits him at The Plaindealer. Mr. and Mrs. Tillery left one day last week for their home.
