The Topeka Plaindealer Twentieth Year. No. 28. TABORIANS IN ANNUAL MEET 500 DELEGATES ATTEND sion showed that the organization has $80,000 worth of real estate, and an endowment of $87,000. Gov. Capper Welcomes Delegates. The address of welcome on behalf of the Topeka lodges was made by Dtr. Lulu Hicks, and the response was by Dtr. Lulu Roundtree, of Omaha. Tuesday evening a public reception was held at Hamilton hall for the visitors, which was attended by more than 500 persons. Governor Arthur Capper welcomed the delegates on behalf of the State, and response was made by Sir A. P. Wilson, Kansas City, Kansas, who is a clerk in the streets and walks department of that city. His address was one of the finest ever heard in Topeka. He is an able man, well educated and a forceful, eloquent speaker. As an orator he is a top liner. Next on program was the able remarks by Rev. Sir Frank Wilson, head and founder of the order, and who as a pulld spoken is no doubt He is a man the hard ripe with experience—who his played an important part in telling his race over the pitfalls or unhappy past. He has been a wrist coacher who work will or not holdly as a proud and hard man to an enterprise, with the ability. He is one of those hold and father's man and is not afraid to call a spade by his proper name. Rev. Wilson reviewed briefly a few of the things accomplished by the Order for the race and what they expected to do in the future with the assistance of men in the law-making bodies of the nation. He told how the race had been deceived by white men who had come on bended knee only to forget after they had been elected. He admonished the next United States Senator from Kansas to be fair to the race and not make any promises unless he is honest and sincere. He said that the colored men and women had profited by past experience and that no white man could expect to retain their suffrage unless he stood up bravely for the things that would elevate the race. He paid a high tribute to Governor Capper for his manliness in exercising his power in the fullest extent in seeing that he race received a square deal and assured him that the race had confidence in him and believed that his future actions would be guided by the past. The program for the evening included music by the Taborian band; invocation by the Rev. Sir H. W. White, C. G. O.; vocal solo by Dir Alice McClelland Todd; introduction of Governor Capper by the Rev. Sir T. A. Bowers; music by the Harmony quartette; piano solo by little Miss Janet Beatrice Buffington; vocal solo by Miss Anna Griffith. Rev. Bowers closed the program with a timely address which was well received and highly instructive. The Annual Sermon. Wednesday evening at Hamilton hall, where the sessions are being held, the annual sermon was delivered by the Rev. Sir H. W. White, C. G. O., and candidate for member of the legislature from N. Topeka. Rev. White maintained his reputation as a forciful and eloquent speaker, and the sermon was full of good and wholesome advice. The public was admitted to the services and about 800 people were present. Entertained Grand Temple. Yesterday evening the Grand Temple and Tabernacle were honored guests of the Mhids and Pages of Honor. The affair was in keeping with the royal manner that has characterized the previous sessions of the order since the opening day. The program teemed with interest and was a credit to the participants, the race and the order. Dr. Stacey Flourney acted as master of ceremonies of the evening. Among the features of the program was a piano solo by little Miss W. A. P. In who and who show tow tab for the and den. In four Men ado and next has seen chau.

Topeka Gathering Best in History of the Order-Reports Show Wonderful Advancement. The twenty-seventh annual Grand session of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, International Order of Twelve Spaced Tuesday in a blaze of glory. Never before in the history of the order has so much interest and enthusiasm been manifested as being shown at this meeting. The war seems to have aroused the men and women filled them with a determination to press forward, the renewed vigor. Our boy is in front and when the news of this session reaches them they will know and feel that the "house" is still burnt. SIR J. G. BURDETTE, C. G. T. Leavenworth that we are with them and lending every aid. This session is also one of grave importance to the whole race in the way of adjusting matter to meet the new conditions that confront us. The leaders have shown great wisdom in not following the lead of a few individuals who disregarded the law and called off the meeting of their respective grand lodges. The Taborians have taken the lead and set the pace for the Pythians and Old Fellows of Kansas and also the Masons of Missouri, who abandoned their annual meetings. This gathering will go down in history as an aid to the successful prosecution of the world's greatest war. The International Order of Twelve was organized in Kansas by Rev. Sir Frank Wilson, of Topeka twenty-seven years ago, which is a traternal benefit association composed of many of the most progressive men and women of the race. The Kansas-Nebraska jurisdiction, now in session in Topeln, opened Tuesday, is affiliated with the international organization. The parent society held its annual meeting this year in Little Rock, Ark. The society has in the United States 200,000 members, Kansas alone has 4,000 members Reports read at the business sea- --- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Resolutions commending the progress of the race along industrial lines in recent years were passed as was also a resolution urging women workers to organize as a unit for JOHN H. HARRIS SIR A. F.

The resolution adopted is as follows: "We, your committee on the colored people of jurisdiction of Kansas and Nebraska, beg leave to say we find them progressing rapidly along industrial lines. They are finding better paying positions than ever before in the history of the country. We urge that more of them engage in commercial pursuits. Our women who are employed in laundry work and other positions are not being paid as much as they earn, and should organize in every city and town, demand better pay for their labor. They cannot continue to work for small wages, while they pay for their homes, educate their children and support those who are dependent upon them." Little Louise Julia Wilson, the four year old daughter of C. G. M. Mentor Rev Sir Frank Wilson, was adopted by the Order. Kansas City and Hutchinson each asked for the next session but Hutchinson won and has been named as the next place of meeting. The lodge voted to purchase Liberty Bonds. Yesterday afternoon the Grand Lodge adjourned and in a body vis- lored the office of The Planktoner, of official organ of the Order, in a body. They came about two hundred strong and was the first time that this or any similar organization had visited a newspaper plant owned and oper- ated by a member of the race in a body. For years the Planktoner has been the official mouthpiece of the order; printing all of the official news, pictures, stationary, blanks etc. We had something to show the men and women who have stood by us for all these years when they ar- tived and they were delighted and surpiled to see such a well equipped plant. They found nothing ancient; everything modern, including a lin- otype, cylinder presses, etc., and they also found them operated by race men and women in our own home. After inspecting the many devices for doing printing, they were served with ice tea and waffers by Miss Linda Greene, Mrs. Kae Morgan Harris, Miss Thelma Idle Mae Chiles and Mrs. Atinichol's Chiles Williams, members of The Plaindealer staff. To us it was a high honor to have them call and a happy inspiration to those who have foreseen had been total strangers to the actual work being done by the official organ of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Whether they come single or in two's, four's or crowds, they will always find the latchstring on the outside and a warm welcome at The Plaindealer. Election of Officers. Rev, Sir Frank Wilson, C. G.

Today (Hilda) closed the largest order in Kansas, and the parade which moved down Kansas avenue at 12:30 was declared by many early div settlers to have been the most spectacular one witnessed on the streets of Topon Headed by the Taborian band. It was a picture long to be reminiscent of a spectacular pageant the glare and glitter of which is outside only by the gaudy aristocrats of the circus. The parade moved down Quincy to Fourth street and then south on Kansas avenue. It was headed by the local Taborian band. Next in order come the drill team of the Daughters of Tabor, dressed in green skirts and white waist and each one armed with a sword. There were several companies of women followed by the drill teams of Knights from Topeka, Atchison, Leavenworth, Parsons and Kansas City, Kansas. The rear guard was a corps of eighteen or twenty automobiles loaded with Knights and Daughters. Turning east on Tenth, they marched to Quincy street, thence south to Hamilton hall on Sixth street, where an indoor picnic was enjoyed. Endorse Rev. White for Legislature. After reaching the hall the first thing in order was the offering of a resolution endorsing the Rev. Sh. H. W. White, chief grand orator, for member of the legislature from N. Topeka. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and an earnest effort will be put forth to bring about his nomination and election. In the evening about seven or eight hundred people witnessed the contest and exhibition drill by the different teams. Two bands the Taborian and Jackson's famous 23d Regiment played alternately throughout the evening. The Lady guards, Kansas City, Atchlson and Topeka, appeared in an exhibition drill and elicited much applause. The contest for the one hundred dollars was between Parsons and Lawsonworth in which the former were the victors. The drill Teams Rebeca, Kansas City, Kan. Lonl. I.

SOUTHERN SLACKERS We wish to call the southern white man's attention, and also the attention of Secretary of War Baker and General Crowder to an article which appeared in the Kansas City Star May 30. The article, which speaks for itself, shows that even the sheriff is a slacker, and that many others are deserters, and thousands have refused to return their questionnaires. Now we have always claimed that the southern white man was a coward when it came to fighting in the open, and his bravery only seems to assert itself when banded together as a mob, he takes the law in his own hands and goes out at night to lynch, burn at the stake, or otherwise outrage a colored man. It is the duty of the government to see to it that these renegades and deserters are brought to time, for this condition exists not alone in Alabama, but in a majority of southern states—white men shacking their duty while colored men go to the front loyal and glad to defend the honor of their country when at the same time white men stay behind to outrage the wives, mothers, and sisters of these colored soldiers. Now in the name of high Heaven, who don't this government be fair to all and treat everyone alike? It seems there is no power on earth that can make the southern white man obey the laws of his own country. We think the government had better sons some colored soldiers south to round up these deserters who are hiding everywhere. This shows what southern chiefly amounts to. FAILED TO ENFORCE DRAFT LAW Alabama Sheriff Arrested by U. S. In Campaign Against Slackers Montgomery, Ala., May 30—Arrest of Sheriff H. A. Harris of Chilton County, and W. T. Martin, an alleged deserter from the army, were deposited today in the campaign of federal authorities in Chilton and Cooosa counties against alleged deserter and slackers. Harris, chairman of the county exemption board is charged with failure to enforce the Draft Law, morbidity, and inefficiency. Federal authorities say a number of men who are expelling the draft and have deserted from the army are housing in caves in Chilton county and defying arrest. They are said to be armed with rifles, which were sent through Chilton county. Adjutant general Hubbard anounced today that between 8:00 and 9:00 registrants in this state have failed to return their questionnaires, and that defiant bands of shackers, augmented by deserters, are at large in DeKalb, Tuscaloosa, and Jayette counties, as well as in Chilton and Coosa. COLORED WOMENS' CLUBS ENDORSE GOVERNOR CAPPER State Federation Adonta Strong Resolution Favoring the Kansas Executive for His Manliness. At the annual meeting of the State Federation of Colored Womens' Clubs held in Wichita a few days ago, the following resolution was adopted Whereas: Our beloved country is now engaged in the most glastic struggle of all times, fighting for a just and righteous cause, for a world's democracy, for civilization against barbarism, for everlasting peace and justice to all mankind, yet the awful crime of lynching is increasing to an alarming extent. American citizens in our own dear land are being lynched and borned with impunity, and governors of states where such lawlessness obtains, claim to be powerless to stop it. Therefore, be it resolved, that the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs in annual session, petition the Kansas delegation in Congress to exert every effort for the enactment of a law for the suppression of mob violence and lynching, and we shall deem it our sacred duty to oppose any candidate for Congress who does not favor such an act. Whereas: The women of the State Federation of clubs have met in their eighteenth session for the purpose of discussing and endorsing those subjects pertaining to our race which will make for uplift and progress; and, Whereas, we see the need of every citizen of the United States in conservation, thrift and loyalty; Therefore, be it resolved, that we continue the work begun in our Federation eighteen years ago with more real and energy each succeeding year; Be it resolved, that this body seeing the necessity of thrift and conservation in helping to win this war, practice and teach such in every way possible in the home; le it resolved that our loyalty to our country will stand out plainly, not in words, but deeds, and knowing the great work the Red Cross is doing for the brave ones who have left the confords of home to fight for a world-wide democracy; that we may all put forth our greatest effort in this great work for humanity; that we believe in a Government, state and national, that will draw no line save the line of justice; a government fair to all mankind and protecting all on the game basis; Be it resolved that we favor the Susan B. Anthony National Amendment, giving all women the right to vote, that we will use our influence showing the women of our race the necessity of registering, voting and taking an active part in municipal, state and national affairs, to the end that we may assist in placing such men in office who believe in giving the Negro a fair deal at all times and in all places; men with moral courage to stand alone for right. Be it resolved, that our cry shall be justice and our watchword loyalty. Resolved, that we heartily endorse the patriotic, fair and economical administration of Hon. Arthur Capper, as governor of the State of Kansas, and we earnestly commend his candidacy for the United States senatorship to the voters of this state, knowing that in him 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.

MRS T C SINKFORD, Topeka MRS IDA P I FRAZIIR, Wichita EQUAL RIGHTS PLEA MADE TO CONGRESS Delegates to Session Hero Put Petition in Penrose's Hands. Washington Post June 20. Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, in a petition unanimously passed by the National Colored Liberty Congress which closed its sessions here yesterday. This and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discriminations are advocated by the petitioners as a win the war measure. The petition has been placed in the hands of Senator Penrose, and it is to be presented to the Senate this week. The Colored congress protests that Negroes are discriminated against in public and Federal buildings in Federal territory. In public carriers operated by the Government in certain states, and in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain states and in the civil service. The petitioners ask, in view of the militant service rendered by their race during the present war, "that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for democracy." They also protest the segregation of races in the officers schools. The Congress was called for the purpose of laying the cause of the coloured man before the United States Congress, and was attended by 115 delegates from 31 states. H H Harrison of New York, was chairman of the Congress, and Prof J W Bell, of Kentucky, secretary William M Trotter of Boston, was elected chairman of the national executive committee for the coming year. M W Spencer was elected secretary. RUCK WOODWARD TO HAVE SECOND TERM Faithful Douglas County Sheriff Has Won the Confidence and Respect of the Voters. Sherrif Woodward has been attending to his duties on the draft board, putting the young men off for service, rather than take the time to campaign for reelection, but good judges of politics believe that the people will see to it that he is given the Republican nomination for a second term. J. R. Woodard has been a resident of Douglas county for sixty-two years. He has worked hard as a farmer, has been one of the active A Scalp Specialist.

The boys are anxiously awaiting the day. The baseball team captained Private Clarence Hardy of Top played their initial game at Good Park on the 4th and defended the Kansas State Home Guard That Mr. Woodward has always been recognized as a man who could be depended upon is shown by his history. He was postmaster at siege, was school clerk in three different districts, was Justice of the peace in Clinton township for six years, was trustee of Marion township for three years, was sheriff of Douglas county from 1901 to 1908 and is now serving his first term as sheriff, being elected in 1916. He is also chairman of the Douglas county draft board, where he has rendered faithful and efficient service. J. R. Woodward believes in the law and in its enforcement He plays no favorites in the enforcement of the law and treats all alike. He is manly and straightforward. His friends believe that he is entitled to a second term because of his ability and ask the voters to remember to say a good word for him to their friends. He is a staunch friend of the colored people and many of the best men and women of the race are supporting him. WESTERN UNIVERSITY TRAINING DUCHMENT The detachment has now reached its full quota numbering 104 men, with Capt. Dougherty commanding; 1st Lieut. Porguson, medical officer; 1st Lieut. Cummings, dental officer. These are all high class officers and have the interest of the selective men at heart. The medical officer has now completed the physical examinations and found every man physically fit for overseas service. Uniforms and full equipment for the The Spirit of 28. The Wobble food Cultivar the Soil detachment have been ordered and are expected daily. The boys are anxiously awaiting the day. The baseball team captained by Private Clarence Hardy of Topeka played their initial game at Heathwood Park on the 4th and defeated the Kansas State Home Guard team by a score of 17 to 6. Dempsey Parker and Hardy forming the battery. Other games are being scheduled for the future. The first promotion from the ranks was made a few days ago when Private Eugene Jenkins of Olathe, a former student of W. U., climbed the 75 foot flag pole, unassisted, and brought down the flag. He was promoted and appointed color sergeant. The concrete squad is laying concrete sidewalks around the buildings in the place of the brick walks now removed. Captains Joy and Briscoe of Washington inspected the detachment on Friday the 5th, to make recommendations regarding the extension of the school for 10 days. Bishop Parks, President Peck, Drs. J. R. Ransom, and W. H. Thomas spent the day on the campus Friday, making arrangements for more equipment and supplies for the shops. The electrical division has drawn plans for the installation of electric lights in the residence of Dr. W. T. Vernon, and will start work installing in a few days. The residence will be occupied by Pres. Peck. Owing to the demand for negro mechanics and trademen in the army it is probable that another contingent of selective men will follow this one for mechanical training. This will afford a splendid opportunity for young men to get in the classified service. ENCELSIOR SPRINGS, MO. . Recent guests at the Albany Hotel, Mr. Hugh R. White, Prop. Geo.
