Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer Twentleth Year. No. 37. A Glance at His Note Book Reveals Many Stories of the Forward Movement of the Race. We stopped over in Chicago en route to Washington, D. C., and noted a great change among the colored people. A few years ago on State street you could see nothing but dudes with their silk shirts and walking sticks and they appeared about 4 o'clock every evening remaining until 3 o'clock the next morning but they are not so numerous now as the war has taken some and death and disease have claimed their own. In their stead are to be found men in overall working hard to earn a living. This is due to the large influx of men from the South. State street has the appearance of a bee hive. As a whole the colored people are not making much progress along business lines. There are a few stores owned by the race but the Jews predominate and the colored people are their principal patrons. Ice cream parlors, lunch counters and the like are owned by Jews who solicit nothing but colored trade. The Jews are also running the cabarets. The colored people own a great deal of property for which they are to be complimented. Chicago has one large hotel for colored people but needs another. Another thing needed is a good colored bank as they should quit depositing their money with white banks who will not employ colored clerks. We met Miss Bettie Abram, one of Chicago's good business women who for a number of years lived in Topeka. She has two fine rooming houses at 3340 and 3470 State street which contain a total of twenty-nine rooms. We visited the office of the Chicago Defender, of which our friend and fellow countryman, Robert S Abbott is editor and owner. The Defender is one of the largest and most widely circulated newspapers in the country. Mr Abbott received his first instruction in the newspaper business in the office of The Topeka Plaindealer, and many of the features inugnulated on the Defender were brought out by The Plaindealer during the time Mr. Abbott was with us, and one in particular with which the Defender played up strong and made quite a hit was the "Guese Who!" column. Mr. Abbott is also a lawyer of excellent ability and was admitted to the bar while in Topeka. He has just recently purchased a nice home for a woman who had proven a great friend to him when he first came to Chicago and when fortune smiled on him he did not forget her. He has also purchased a beautiful bungalow for himself at a cost of $7000 and a fine automobile. It is said that in the near future he will install a large printing plant. GARY, INDIANA We stopped for a few hours at Gary where are located the great iron works and employs thousands of people. This is the home of The National Defender and Hon, owned and edited by our friend, Hon, J. D. Cook. We met our friend, Golden, formerly of Kansas City, who is engaged in the real estate business. In this town we found a large hotel with dining room and lunch count, also barber shops which are owned and managed by Jews, but are crowded and overrun with colored people. One of the nicest business enterprises we found at Gary was the drug store called the "Majestic owned and operated by Mrs. Jenohla Bagaby, formerly of Boley, Okla. Mrs. Bagaby is assisted by her slater, Mrs Dunlap, formerly of Wewoka, Okla., and Mrs. J. D. Cook. This is a beautiful drug store and is well patronized. Mrs. Bagaby says the colored physicians send her all their prescriptions and we talked to a great many colored people of the town and they all are proud of her. She carrier a nice line of drugs and sundries. We met Mrs. Fannie Lucas, formerly Mrs. Alex. Mallory, of Topeka and she asked to be remembered to her Topeka friends. She is doing well. AT DETROIT where we stopped over for a few hours we found a beautiful city located in a great state. There are 40,000 colored people living here and they are employed in the automobile factories and at different trades. Detroit is a clean city and is inhabited by a fine class of people. There seemed to be less prejudice in this city than any we visited. We found colored men working as motormen on the streetcars, a total of about fifty and all are members of the union. It was certainly a source of pleasure to us to see colored men runnig street cars, for it was something we had never seen before and we just had to thank the Lord for that much. we stores and there are a number of colored men engaged in the real estate business and practicing law and medicine. We met our friend, Hon. W. P. Kemp, editor of The Detroit Leader. Mr. Kemp was formerly of Lincoln, Nebr., and is a young man full of spush and energy. He recently installed a linetype and is doing much for the uplift of the race in Detroit. We met our friend, Dr. J. W. Ames, who has lived in Detroit for over twenty-four years. He is one of the leading physicians of the city and served as a member of the state legislature and was instrumental in securing the passage of some good, wholesome laws for the race. He has two sons and two daughters who are being well educated. The Doctor enjoys a large practice, principally office work. He is one of the best surgeons in the country and has had unlimited experience having served on the medical board of Detroit for a number of years. He was a candidate for councilman at the last election and most of his constituents were white. We have not learned as to the results of the election Dr. Ames knows nothing about prejudice and no white man has a terror for him as they treat him as an American citizen. He was called upon in the campaign to make speeches the same as any other candidate. He is known all over the country as a gentleman and scholar as well as a physician. We met Dr. Rivers and wife of the C. M. K. church and are proud to say that in the short time Dr. Rivers has been pastor of this church over 500 members have been added through his efforts and influence, and he has purchased a church at a cost of $15,000. He went to Detroit in December, 1917.. We met Jack Odell of Topeka, who is working at the public works and drawing $5.40 a night. He will attend High school there this fall. The colored people attend the Y. M. C. A in this city. The white people of Michigan seem to treat the colored people as Christians. We met Rev. Wayman Ransom, brother of Rev. J. R. Ransom. He is holding a responsible position which pays between $5 and $7 a day and he is also pastor of a small church out of Detroit where there are several prosperous colored farmers. He owns several thousand acres of land, cattle and other stock. Rev. Ransom was formerly of Parsons and is a fine young minister, loved and highly respected by everybody. The young ladies are tired of seeing the young minister "bach" and we fear that in the near future Cupid will win him. He has plenty of money, and is a conservative energetic, Christian minister. We also met F', G. Garner and O. M. Ransom, formerly of Parsons. They are doing fine and making money. We have never met a more hospitable set of people than we found at Detroit. We were the guest of Dr. Ames at dinner at one of the finest restaurants conducted by a colored man in his country. In the evening we were the guest of the Hon. R. J. Willis & Sons, attorneys-at-law, who also have a real estate exchange in connection. We were taken auto riding through the principle residence and business sections of Detroit and also visited the park and aquarium. The park is one of the finest in the country and everybody enjoys it as an outing place. We also visited the automobile factory and malleable iron works where thousands of colored people are employed, and receive such high wages. Everybody is doing well, there is plenty of money and very little discrimination. Mr. Willis has visited Kansas and knows Kansas history. He has also visited in Texas and is well informed as to the condition of the race in the West and South. He is a great friend of the race and is doing much for its good. He owns a nice home, and we are under many obligations to him for courtesies extended and also to Mr. Thomas A. Cole, labor agent. Through the efforts of the latter, thousands of people have been brought to Detroit and given profitable employment. Mr. Cole resides at 659 28th street. We met our old friend, A. B. (Jump) Williamson and wife. He was Detroit is God's country. We were informed that there were several people from Topeka now living in Detroit but our as stay was so so short we did not get to see all of short we did not get to see all of them. NIAGRA FALLS. We stopped for a short time at Niagara Falls and visited the rapids and whirlpool on the Canadian side and it was certainly a grand sight to behold. While at Niagara we went the city and no questions were asked to some of the finest restaurants in us nor were any strange glances cast at us as though we were a wild animal of some description but we were served with as much courtesy as could be given any person. We were at. BUFFALO for a few hours and saw nothing that the colored people were doing that was very encouraging. The only business we noticed in which color people were engaged was the operation of saloons and restaurants. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPT.13, 1918 AT ALBANY we stopped over night and were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Madison, who visited in Topeka this summer. They own a beautiful home, all modern and richly furnished. Mrs. Madison and daughter were at home but Mr. Madison was in New York and we did not get to see him. Here we met Mr. M. J. Johnson, formerly of Kansas City who was stopping at the Madison home. He is with the Deleware and Hudson railroad, which position he has held for some time. He is doing much along church and social lines. We met Mr. J. N. Hawkins who conducts a fine cafe and buffet and is a great race leader. He owns nice property and is doing well. He is vice-president of the colored Republican league. NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK CITY is the metropolis of the world. Here we find a great city with lots of hustling and bustling. New York is a great city to visit, and there is much to be seen and much to learn. Here is the home of the New York News, edited and owned by Mr. George Harris, one of Topeka's former citizens and a vide a wake young man, born and reared here, his father being one of Topeka's first successful merchants having conducted one of the largest groceries in Topeka. Mr. Harris has always been energetic, and did his first newspaper work in this office. He is certainly a star in the newspaper business and is a republican leader, and the party looks to him for information, knowing that he is a lender of the race and can do much for the party. As soon as we told him of the Kansas Defense Society he lined up with our proposition. The Amsterdam News is a well edited newspaper and is doing a great deal for the race. We met Mr. E. A. Warren, editor and manager. He is a fine gentleman and assured us that he was with Kansas Defense Society. We visited the office of the New York Age and found Mr. Fred R. Moore occupying the editorial chair. Associated with him is his daughter son-in-law, and son. They have a great plant and are getting out a good paper. We tried to solicit the aid of himself and paper towad helping the Kansas Defense Society in our fight to secure liberation for the colored soldiers now incarcerated in the Federal prison for participation in the Houston roots, but he took exception to our visits because he thought the matter was being worked out in Washington, but when we got through explaining and showing him, he acknowledged that he was mistaken, but set in his ways, he continued to contend that he was right, saying that he wanted more information before he did any thing. We assured him that all we wanted him to do was to insert an item saying that we were in New York and the East, and the purpose of our trip, and then if he cared to oppose our proposition, he could, as we did not wish him to be with us if he did not approve of it. Brother Moore has lots to learn yet, and we advise him to take a few trips west and learn what is going on. We are not catering to any particular set of white men for revenue, but to that class of whites who believe that we are American citizens and we want all the rights they enjoy. From 123d to 1633th street there are, we believe, thousands of colored people residing, and in three squares there are over ten thousand colored people living. They parade on the streets while the Jews carry on the business for them. To our surprise we found in some instances Jews conducting restaurants, stores, and dance halls for colored people. We noted in one block a Jew and his entire family were serving refreshments for colored people, and four or five clerks were kept busy, perspiration running down their faces like water from the sky, waiting on their colored trade, while in another block not far distant we found the same kind of business conducted by colored people at a standstill. Before colored men in New York can boast of their patriotism and loyalty to the race, they must insist on Jews employing colored people, or colored people must engage in business for themselves. We are sorry to say, that while the people of New York on a whole seem very intelligent, they are not as progressive as they should be and there is not much force to them when it comes to doing things. They are good talkers, but poor doers. We were very proud to meet our old friends Clayton and Clifton French attorneys and consellors at law located at 139 West 135th street. They are Kansas boys, and they are making good, and are among the best men in New York. We met Mrs. Minnie Waller French, daughter of the late consul to Madagascar, John L. Waller, formerly of Kansas City and who served with the 23rd in Cuba. She assists her husband in the law office, and she contemplates making a trip west at some future day. The people in New York who are acquainted with the Franches are proud of them, and say they are a great help to the race. In company with Mrs. Clifton French we visited the Abhysina Baptist Church, of which Rev A Clayton Bowers is pastor. He is one of the leading race men of this country. We spoke to a large, enthusiastic audience, who berged us to return. We went to Hoboken, N. J., on a ferry boat and saw the large steamers loaded with soldiers, some preparing to move out. We also saw a large ship which was taken from Germany when war was declared. It was an imposing sight. It is now being used for a hospital. We visited many places of note and saw the Woolworth Building, which is fifty-five stories high. We visited our old friend J. R. Lytle, 1820 Dean St., Brooklyn. He conducts a barber shop and is doing a good business. We also met his two daughters, Mrs. Corrine and Mrs. Lutie Cowan. While in New York we were the guest of Mrs. H. E. Williams at the home of Mrs. Levy, Mrs. Williams was formerly of Greenville, S. C. We met Prof. W. S. Scarbough, President of Wilberforce College. We had the pleasure of dining with our JACKSON'S BAND STIRS ARMY CAMP JACKSON'S BAND STIRS ARMY CAMP Spanish-Amerioa War Band Receives Big Ovation by Soldiers and Civilians. The biggest oation ever given a musical organization at Camp Funston was accorded to Jackson's twenty-third Regiment Band Saturday and Sunday of last week when this noted organization visited the soldiers at Cump Funston, Army City, and the Mounted service school at Port Riley, L. Vernon Gray, a high class publicity man who is engaged in war work, arranged for the concerts and directed what proved the most triumphant tour in the history of the organization. The band is one of the oldest colored musical organizations in the west many of its members having served in Cuba with the organization during the Spanish-American War; then as now the band was directed by Prof. Geo. W. Jackson. Camp Funston was the first stop, and they played under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus. The band, thirty musicians in number, was met at the train by Secretary Alexander and representatives from Army City and Fort Riley. They were conveyed to Funston where they partook of a fine feast, and at 3.00 p. m. they played a concert to acres of men in Khaki. The soldiers cheered the music to the echo, and when they played "Over There" seven thousand voices joined in and sang under the direction of Prof. Jackson. The incident will be talked of as long as there is one of the participants on earth, Patriotic airs, high class opera and the syncopated notes on the soul inspiring rag, brought more joy to the hearts of Uncle Sam's fighting men than had ever before been witnessed in the camp; and at the close of the concert soldiers rushed to Prof. Jackson and carried him about the grounds for fully ten minutes, and it seemed that the cheering would never cease. At another part of the camp they played a concert where equally as much enthusiasm was in evidence At Army City business house lock, their doors in order to avail them,selves of the opportunity to hear the band. From here they were conveyed to Port ailey, where they were the guests of the Mounted service school and played a concert. Here these magnificent quarters were turned over to the band, boot blacks, barbers bath room, etc., were all placed at the disposal of Prof. Jackson and his men. They were served with an elaborate spread, and at 8:30 they proceeded to the detachment pavilion a place a block square where they played a concert to the soldiers of both races who packed the place to the doors. At 10:30 dancing was in order and over four hundred couples whirled in the dizzy maze of the waltz and two-step to the sweet strains of the band. This lasted until 12:00 o'clock, when the boys were conveyed to their quarters at Junction City. Sunday they were conveyed to detention camp No. 1 were white soldiers are stationed and played a concert, and here they received the warmest reception of the trip. From here they went to camp No. 2, and were escorted by Leutens, Beck, Hardy, and Sergt. Wright and Sergt, Oglevie, all of Topeka. They went to the regimental drill ground, where chairs had been arranged and they inspired the boys. After dinner they returned to Junction and over 10,000 soldiers and civilians heard the concert and as climax when the band played "America" all joined in and sang. A French Army Officer was present and delivered an inspiring speech. At Manhattan the people turned out in drives. The citizens placed their automobiles at the disposal of the band, conveyed them to and from the park, and at the closing of the concert, the ladies of the city served the band with refreshments. Truth it was the greatest trip in the history of the band and the members of the organization are delighted that they pleased the thousands who heard them. friend Black Carl and Wife. Black Carl is known in the West as Ed Johnson and is one of the finest magicians ever on the stage. He has travelled throughout the United States and Australia. He presented us with a fine walking cane which he brought from that country. Mr. J. R. Lytle was in company with us, and we certainly enjoyed our dinner. Mr. Johnson and wife have a cozy apartment on the third floor. We spoke at the Salem A. M. E. Church and also at the Equity Congress of which Alfred T. Cosey is president. Mr. Cosey is one of the leading lawyers of New York. This Equity Congress takes up matters concerning the race, discusses and acts upon them. They have standing committees who investigate any jeopardy committed against a colored person, and bring action in the courts for redress. It is a splendid organization. PHILADELPHIA We stopped for a few hours at Philadelphia and visited the office of the A. M. E. Christian Recorder, of which Mr. R. A. Wright is manager and editor, and we found the place full of business. This building has been in debt for the past fifty years, and when Mr. Wright took hold it looked as though it would be an impossibility to pay out, but he assured us that they would be free from debt by the end of 1918. At the office of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board we met Miss Gertrude Solomon, formerly of this city. We also met Miss Bessie Haynes of this city and found her engaged in the hair and beauty culture work. She looks well and is doing nicely and wishes to be remembered to her many friends here. The colored people of Philadelphia seem to be asleep, for there are so many filthy streets occupied by them that we wonder why there is not more disease. From Philadelphia we went WASHINGTON D.C. Here we had the pleasure of visiting Mount Carmel Baptist Church, of which Rev. Jernigan, formerly of Oklahoma, is pastor. It is a great church, has several hundred members, and the building is valued at several thousand dollars. The Baptist Association of that district was in session, and we met several distinguished ministers. We were pleased to meet our friend Rev. Alfred Barton, formerly of Topeka, who is moderator, and he wields the gavel with exactness and justice. The Association is well represented, and the reports showed that there was plenty of money. Rev. Jernigan owns a nice home and enjoys the comfort of his wife and one daughter, who is among Washington's leading ladies. We stopped at the Y. M. C. A., which is located in a nice building and has a fine set of young men in charge. We were surprised to find the cafeteria closed, but learned that the colored people of Washington do not eat as regularly as those in the West. Eating seems to be the last thing about which they are concerned. We met our friend J. M. Dorkey, who for a number of years was connected with the Topka Plaindaleer and is now employed in the war department in the office of the surgeon general. He is a live wire in Washington and is looking well and eating three squre meals a day. He did much to assist us in getting over Washington and furnishing us with information that was very much needed. We met Mr. Y. E. Dowling, assistant door keeper at the White House, about which place he has been connected for the past fifteen years, and he knows all of the ins and outs. We were delighted to meet our friend Rev. B. Watson, Secretary of the Church Extension Department of the A. M. E. Church, located in his own building, where they have a fine office. Too much can not be said of the great work Rev. Watson has done along financial lines. He has collected money and honestly expended it where it would do the most good. He is a Kansan, and Kansas believes in him. He has been somewhat indisposed, but his friends say he is much improved. We had the pleasure of taking breakfast with himself and daughter and grandson, Sylvester Smith. This young man has proven to be quite an athlete and has wined three silver cups, at Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, at Lawn Tennis. We also met Bishop Ross, who is a great race leader. One of the most successful enterprises in Washington or in the country is the cleaning and dye works of Mr. J. H. Foster, 1737 11th Street. He has a fine trade, and a large number of his customers are wives of the cabinet officers, diplomats, and people of that class. We also met Mr. Edgar E. McDaniel, formerly of South McAlister, Oklahoma. He is a stenographer in the surgeon general's office and is well liked in Washington. He is holding this job upon his merit and is one of the best in the building. His sister of McAlister was his guest for a few weeks this summer. We met Mrs. Laura Hamilton, formerly Miss Laura Anderson of Leavenworth. She is holding a position in the government printing department. The colored people in Washington are not much interested in business enterprises. They own several drug (Continued on Page Four) Price $1.50 Per Year LEAVENWORTH COUNRY POLITICE. Candidates are Active in Preparing for the Final Drive in November. The Republican candidates of Leavenworth county say they are working for a sweeping victory this fall. Miss Lucy V. Hook, is the candidate for county treasurer and is well qualified for the place having served several years as deputy. She had no opposition in the Republican primaries for the nomination and is so well liked by the citizens of Leavenworth that the Democrats had a hard time finding someone who would consent to run against her but the opposition of her opponent is very weak and he is only running to keep up the name of the Democratic party. Miss Hook is a Leavenworth girl and is well qualified for the position she seeks and her majority will be large. Mr. John McFarland, candidate for registrar of deeds has lived in the county for fifty-one years and is now serving as county assessor. He has done much for the taxpayers and property holders and the county has made thousands of dollars by his efficient service in that department. Mr. McFarland is intensely patriotic and a doing much to put down kaiserism. He has a brother and son-in-law in the service, and a son to be drilled soon. He is a member of the Sons of Veterans and has an office in that organization. He has a host of friends mong the colored race and says as soon as his announcement was made for registrar of deeds, Mrs. Sara Cox, a prominent colored lady of Chicago, formerly of Leavenworth, wrote thirty-two letters to different colored friends of Leavenworth asking them to support Mr. McFarland for the office because he har done much to help the race. He has the support of Dr. Moates and many other prominent colored men and will without doubt be elected by a large majority. --- Miss Grace Fisher, clerk of the district court is a candidate for re-election. Miss Fisher is one of the most popular lady office holders in the state of Kansas. Her friends are legion. She is a great Red Cross worker and the citizens of Leavenworth county love her as dearly as they love their own kindred. She has saved money for the county and the taxpayers hold her in high esteem because of that fact. The district court records show: That from Jan. 1, 1915 to July 1st, 1918 (three years and a half under her administration), $13,431 63 in fees was turned into the County Treasury. That $757.08 interest money on the Clerk's Fund has been turned into the treasury. That the clerk hire has been $50 a month less than formerly, thereby saving the county $2,100 during her term. That the fees collected have been more than $100 a month over the expenses of conducting since she became clerk. COLORED MEN IN TRAINING IN THE UNITED STATES.

We therefore take this means of thanking our many friends of Garden City for their liberal contribution to us in making our rally on Sept. 1st a grand success. Special thanks are due some of our leading officials and firms and two of our sister churches, through their worthy pastors, Rev. Vanceleave, of the First Methodist church and Rev. Scott, of the First Presbyterian church. Our rally netted us $167 besides one or two substantial subscriptions to be paid any day we start on our parsonage. We beg leave to subscribe ourselves. Your very humble servant HEY, G. P. HAYWOOD. RESISTERS YIELD TO DRAFT. In North Georgia a Marshall's Patriotic Appeal Won Thirty. "As a result of a series of patriotic and educational appeals delivered by United States Marshal Howard Thompson, thirty North Georgia men have voluntarily abandoned their attitude of resistance to the Draft Law and reported themselves to the authorities as ready for service. "Marshal Thompson believes a clear presentation of the facts of the situation will be more effective in winning offenders back to the colors than would the employment of force. His vrok has so far rattled the government a cash saving of $2,500 in eliminating rewards for the ammunition of the men sought"—Chrisian Science Monitor While the colored people are loyal and bravely fighting for this country in its war against Germany and the Kaiser, at the same time Geor-gra crackers who are the lowest specimen of the white race are resisting the draft law. The above clinging is an example of what is going on and they are now being coaxed put petted to do their duty. These draft resisters are those who lunch and burn colored people in the South and yet the government will do more for them than it will for the colored people.

Always ready for use, it takes little to penetrate without rubbing and produces results. Clean, refreshing. At all drug stores. A large bottle means economy. Sloan's Liniment Kills Pain No one objects to a visitor when he or she as the case may be calls and leaves as they came. But when they take someone with them as a rule it leaves aching hearts. This was true when the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sanders and took their son, George Sanders, Jr., at Camp Funston, where he was serving his country and had been for more than a month where the death angel found him. Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, Sept. 3d the remains were brought home and with military honors laid to rest Sunday afternoon from the C. M. D. church. We congratulate Governor W. Y Morgan and Rev Henderson for their timely remarks. Mr. Berry, who tried to say something is an other lien Tillman, as his remarks plainly showed. George was the son of one of the best families in the city and he leaves a father and mother, five sisters, three brothers and numerous other relatives and friends, just why that George had to go so soon and at the prime of life, I cannot tell, but God knows best and I apprehend that he does for the best. It was said by many of the old times that George's funeral was the largest ever held in Hutchinson among the colored people. It is an honor to die in the service of our country, but is a greater honor to die in the ser- THE CITY BARBER COLLEX 516 Main St. KANSAS CITY, MO.

Taking everything under consideration we are gliding smoothly. Our work at this place had run down completely on our arrival last November, but we are proud to say that things are very different now. By the help of God we have been able to inject new life into the entire membership, and African Methodism is revived in this city. As we well know, the very name "African Methodist" means leadership, and when I fails to lead in the city where it is organized, something is wrong with the membership or the leader. Of course it means some sacrifice to change these conditions, but if you are able to change them it means much. The spiritual condition of our stock is just fine, having carried on a revival this month for eight nights. I Pruere Unio Twelve souls came to Christ, and the H Pl. , until m ..., enture city was stirred. The meeting was conducted by Rev. J. D. Brown, soul stirring preacher. His mode of conducting a revival is simple, and yet it is interesting. Our meeting was quite generally attended by the pastors and church members of the city. $70 were ruises during the meeting. We are planning to spend quite sum in repairing our church and hope to begin the work by the 1st of May tember. Nothing preventing, we shall be a the Annual Conference, leaving a stone unturned.

Brooks took charge a little over a year ago they were in debt to the amount of $75,000, and they are now on a campaign to make the last payment of $12,000 within the next year, at which time he expects to burn the mortgage. This is one of the finest churches we ever visited owned by colored people. It is a beautiful edifice, and at this time we cannot describe it. It has one of the largest pipe organs in this country and has a seating capacity of about four thousand. Rev. Brooks is popular with all denominations, Baptists included, and they are rallying to the support of his church. We walked two or three blocks with him, and even the children know and love him. We believe that the A. M. E. Church would be committing an unpardonable sin if they do not elect this man one of their bishops, as he has earned the honor many times. He is well qualified, and the delegates to the General Conference will be justified in electing him on the first round. We have talked to several ministers, and they assure us they will use their influence to make Rev. Brooks bishop. The Plaindealer is with him from start to finish. We met the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Bruce of Leavenworth, whose husband is principal of one of the largest schools in Baltimore. They are properly and are doing well. Pro. and Ms. Bruce visited them this summer, and certainly enjoyed themselves. The colored Phas held their annual mored districts of the city were clean and neat, and the people as a whole seem to be progressive. They own some of the finest drug stores we ever saw. We met our friend Editor Murphy of the Afro-Amer can, and we visited his office, where we found one of the finest presses and best equipped news paper offices we have ever seen among closed people. They turn out considerable job work. Baltimore has 200,000 colored people. We visited the market and found colored people with stalls, and from all appearances they were doing an enormous business. Baltimore also has a daily colored newspaper which was established eight months ago, and the management says that the paper is moving along nicely. There is no reason why a daily paper for the race should not exist in this town, as the colored people are engaged in business, and the Jews, who have a great hold upon our race, seem to do a great deal of advertising with this paper. The office has a hnotype machine and job presses. SIOUX CITY, IOWA. Sioux City has received her share from the South and the men and women are making good as clerks, porters and butchers. The butcher's union was well represented by men and women of the race on Labor Day in the parade. We are proud to say that these people for the most part are religious and race lovers.
