Topeka Plaindealer From the Small Number of Deaths Throughout the Nation, the Flu Doesn't Seem to Be a Colored Man's Disease Twentieth Year. No. 43. KEEP ANTHONY IN CONGRESS KEEP ANTHONY IN CONGRESS FIRST DISTRICT WILL RETURN HER GREAT MAN, DAN AN- THONY, FOR CONGRESS FOR THE 18TH TIME So well has Congressman Anthony fortified himself in the hearts of the voters of the First District of Kansas and the nation, that no submarine can dislodge him from the congressional seat. Congressman Anthony is a man well fitted for the position, as he knows how to handle the job. He has served on several important committees, one being the military committee which has to do with formulating plans for the execution of the war. Mr. Anthony is a man who does not have be told what to do but has ideas of his own, and he is a man who likes to carry out the wishes of his constituents. The Democrats have so much confidence in his ability, that recently on a $5,000,000 contract for Fort Leavenworth, they consulted him before letting the contract. Mr. Anthony has done much for the upbuilding of Leavenworth and the country. The voters of the first district will be called upon in November to return this stalwart Republican by a large majority. We do not know if the Democrats have placed any opposition to him on their ticket as yet but if so, we have not heard who the nominee is and he is probably some volunteer who has offered his service to the party in order to increase Mr. Anthony's majority. Congressman Anthony is so well versed in committee work that whenever any measure of great importance is to come up he is always placed on the job, as he can always be depended on to defend what is right for the best interests of the people. Young Dan is an honest, upright, loyal citizen and a Republican of the deepest die. PROF. VERNON ILL Memphis, Tenn. Oct. 21, 1918. Dr. W. T. Vernon, Pastor of Avery Chapel, this city, after five weeks in the Wilson Hospital, is sufficiently convalescent to be back at the parsonage of his church. His friends and parishioners, who have been so devoted to him from the bermann of his illness, are greatly rejoiced that he is now on the road to complete recovery. Doctor Vernon, it will be remembered, was at one time President of Western University and Register of the United States Treasury. He is now the successful pastor of the leading church of his denomination in Tennessee. Candidates in Leavenworth Mr. John T. Glynn, noted sleuth of America and chief of police of Leavenworth has been nominated on the Republican ticket for sheriff of Leavenworth county. The colored people speak highly of Mr. Glynn and say that when he was in Texas and Virginia dong detective work, it was his delight to do what he could to see that the colored man got justice. Following is what the Iowa Bystander says concerning him: "DISTINGUISHED DETECTIVE "HERE Noted for His Hobby of Giving Each Black Man or Any Man Arrested Full Justice. "Hon. John T. Glynn, chief of police of Leavenworth, Kansas, was sent to our city last week to assist our detectives during the Iowa State Fair. Mr. Glynn has natural qualities and popular fitness for this work and has for the past ten years been the most successful and the best liked detective in the United States. He has time, and again on many occasions pleaded to the various judges for justice for the negro boy or man in trouble or in prison. Often he has gone out of the way and spent many hours helping the colored men out without a cent. Mr. Glynn is a candidate this fall on the Republican ticket for sheriff of that county, and it behooves colored voter to vote and work for him. As he has always shown himself a true friend of the race, the colored voter now has a splendid opportunity to reciprocate at the polls." Mr. Russ Wilson of Leavenworth is a candidate for sheriff on the democratic ticket. Mr. Wilson has resided in Leavenworth for the greater part of his life and has engaged in the buying and selling of horses for a number of years. He is known all over the county.

Pollom Deserves Your Support Mr. Boyd *Pollom*, who is serving his first term as county commissioner on the Republican ticket from the North Side, is a candidate for re-election. He has done much for the county, and the roads are being cleared and put in first-class condition. Laboring men are being well paid for their services, and no one can complain of the great work that has been done as a result of Mr. Pollom's efforts. NEGROES STICK TO THEIR JOBS Two Employees of Mill In Ohio Make Remarkable Records for Service Without Loss of Time. A "stand-by-the-job" record deserving of recognition has been made by Frank Harris, a negro employed by the American Rolling Mill Company of Columbus, Ohio, who has worked every day this year except two days in January, one in February, and one in June—a total of 239 days out of 243. He has been continuously employed by the company since October 1, 1904, and wears a ten-year gold service button. The four days he has taken off in 1918 have been more than made up by 71 days of overtime work. Albert Jones, another negro, worked 141 consecutive days—7 days a week—without losing any time from March 30 to August 10. He took five days off, beginning August 20, to go hunting, but is working every day now. These men work on the pig-casting machine and stuck to their jobs during the hottest weather. YALE. KAN.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 25,1918 KANSAS MUST SEND GOV.CAPPER TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE The voters of Kansas will be called upon to do their whole duty for the best interests of the American people and Kansas especially. The election of Governor Capper as United States Senator is a foregone conclusion, and his majority will reach from fifty to one hundred thousand. He has rendered yeoman service to the people of Kansas and the nation as well. He has already demonstrated himself to be a man capable of handling national affairs, and the people of Kansas have decreed that he shall be the next senator. He will go to Washington and assist President Wilson in finishing up Germany, and he will lose no time in perfecting a proposition whereby the dignity of this country will be maintained so as to help every class of people. It will take much brain study and work to adjust things after the war, and it will be going to take a representative like Mr. Capper to fill the requirements. We have been in nearly every section of the country, and all we hear is Capper, Capper, Capper. --- Topeka, Oct. 21, 1918. My Dear Friend:—You are one of the good friends whose loyal and generous support made possible my nomination as the Republican candidate for United States Senator. I write not only to express my sincere appreciation of your kindness and to say I shall be most grateful for the same loyal support on November 5, but especially to ask your earnest effort for the entire Republican state and congressional ticket, for the reason I shall give. I am proud—and with reason—to be the nominee of my party for Senator, for it is gratifying to have associated with me on the ticket such candidates as Republicans of Kansas may present without a single misgiving to the voters for their endorsement. The state ticket, headed by Henry J. Allen for Governor, also the congressional ticket, is made up of Republicans who represent first-class ability. These men are high-grade, dependable men. There is no reason why any Republican cannot give every one of them enthusiastic support. Issues of tremendous importance make our congressional election this fall most vital. There has never been a time when it was so necessary to send broad and brainy men to Congress to solve the problems constantly arising in the war, and the still greater problems which will have to be met with the highest intelligence SALINA. KAN. Mr. Tom Parker made a flying trip to Kansas City last Friday. Mrs. Jakes, who has been seriously ill for some time, has improved, and she and family left to spend the winter in Missouri.

Mrs. Peters entertained in honor of her husband's 22d birthday. Quite a number were present. The evening was spent in games and music. Miss Anna Britt, one of the teachers of Wichita, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Moody Jennings. Mr. Barney Everett will accompany his wife to Kansas City, where she will be en route to St. Louis, Little Rock, and Alexandra, La., for a month, visiting relatives and friends. Mr. William Wigley made a flying trip to Topeka. Mr. Crawford Deprist is reported ill at this writing. Mrs. Reed and little daughter Evelyn are reported ill with the influenza. Miss Dorothy Hurston, who has resided in Kansas City for a year, is home again and is reported ill. Mrs. Dolle Johnson is home from Kansas City for a few days. TOPEKA BOY IN TRAINING WRITES Camp Grant, Ill, Oct. 15, 1918 Mr. Nick Chiles; Dear Sir:—just a few lines to let you know of conditions here in camp. Lt. Black, formerly of the 10 Cav. Band is in camp and is commanding the 51st Co. 161t D. B. He formerly lived on Tyler Street in Topeka. He was sent with a number of other officers from Ft. Huachuca, Azr. Have received a picture of all the Topeka boys that were in training at Western University. I have charge of a bugle corps, and it is not a very easy task to teach them the different calls and marches. We have men in the Bus. with most everything there can be with a human being. I feel sorry for the men, because it is the average fellow from the South. I will write you from time to time and keep you informed of all the camp news. Mr. John M. Wright is doing excellent work here as secretary. Mr. Sibenby is also doing fine work in assisting him. The peace rumor made quite an excitement in the 234 and 5 Div. Bn's, and it resulted in an investigation for the ones who started it. If they find them it will go awfully hard with them. My cousin sent me the Plaindealer, of which we are capable during the reconstruction period to follow. The situation demands men of the most stalwart Americanism and staunchest devotion. I congratulate the people of the First District upon the fact that in their present representative in Congress, Hon. D. R. Anthony, they have such a man. No district has ever had a more able, a more loyal, and a more faithful representative than Dan Anthony. He knows his district thoroughly, and his long experience at Washington has made him a most valuable member of Congress. I am sure he will be re-elected by a greatly increased majority as the representative of the First District at Washington. If I go to Washington, I want Dan Anthony and seven other Republican congressmen to go with me from Kansas. I need not warn you of the reprehensible campaign the Democratic managers are making. While spreading broadcast the propaganda that "politics is adjourned" during the war, they are at the same time attempting to capitalize the war for partisan gain by using every specious argument known to scheming politicians. To win support for their congressional candidates they are leaving nothing undone to discredit the patriotism and loyalty of the Republican candidates. I am sure the fathers and mothers of the boys who are fighting in France will resent this unfeeling and outrageous attempt to use the life's blood of their sons as a political pawn. I believe a proper and emphatic rebuke will be administered to this attempt to make the supporting of Democratic candidates the test of loyalty. Both in State and Nation the Republican party has stood and is standing four-square for the war and no compromise. Every one of its candidates is pledged to that platform. The war record of the party and its candidates will bear the closest scrutiny. The records of Congress show the Republicans have stood by the President more loyally than his own party. I make this earnest plea to you: Put in your last effort for the entire Republican ticket this fall. Don't think I shall not know nor appreciate anything you can say to your friends and neighbors in the interest of the ticket or of my own candidacy. Faithfully yours, ARTHUR CAPPER Governor. and it was the same as seeing some one from home. SGT. BUGLER HAMILTON PAYNE Co. B. 2d Dv, Bn. 161st D. B., Camp Grant, Ill. Barracks 1221 So. WILSON WINNING THE WAR By William Allen White, of the Emporia Gazette. "Politics," quoth our beloved President, "has adjourned!" And then up apake the Democratic National Committee, with this non-partisan slogan: "Help Wilson win the war!" So politics reassembled. "And," says the common voter, says he to himself, softly like and under his breath: "Who is this man Wilson, which he would win the war?" And then History she fumbles over her pages and she remarks: "Him? Oh, he's the gentleman whom Congress has been endowing with more power than is given to any other ruler on earth—not even to the kaiser himself." "Well, well—replies the average man, recalling recent events—'well, isn't it the truth; and who is this Congress which went ahead and done all this?" Again History turns to her big book and says she: "Congress is the representatives of the people, Republicans and Democrats, and in giving the President all this power, which it is a good thing to give him in war time, for war is no debating society, Republicans voted just as strong as the Democrats. They voted in a larger proportion for the war than the Democrats, so far as that goes, and they voted stronger, man for man, for conscription, than the Democrats. But let that pass; that was the accident of geography. But," says History, says she, "in the matter of winning this war, the Republicans gave the President just as much power to win it as the Democrats, which shows they really adjourned politics and didn't just give it a ten minutes recess in order to drum up a majority." That was what History said—them very words—and she never smiled when she said it. "So," thunders Logic, "now that you have given the President all this power—this tremendous, unprecedented power—why not safeguard that power? Why not surround the President with a Republican Congress? The Republicans upheld him in the war; the Republicans cooperated to give him all this power. Power unrestrained is bad for any man. Power under control, and with the consent of the governed, is the essence of democracy. So why not, now that Congress has assembled the makings of a tyr- rant—and no man is above the temptations of the flesh—why not surround the President with a Republican Congress, a Congress just as loyal, just as reasonable, just as keen to win the war as the President himself—why not surround the President with advisers rather than servants, with men rather than patronage seckers, with Americans rather than mere partisans, who, in the past ten months have played party politics clear up to the limit?" Them was the noble words of Logic, which you can't get away from, dearly beloved. Let politics really adjourn. And let the Republicans help Wilson win the war. This is no one party war. If he won't have a bi-partisan cabinet, why not have a bi-partisan government—Democratic in the White House and Republican on Capitol Hill? Has anyone anything further to offer? TUSKEGEE TRADES BUILDING DESTROYED BY FIRE The Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trades Building of the Tuakegee Institute was destroyed by fire on Monday night October 14. The fire was the largest in the history of the Institute and represented a loss of $100,000. The building was constructed of brick made in the Institute's brick yard and was completed in 1898. In its greatest dimensions it was 283 by 315 feet and was arranged about the four sides of a central court, with cross wings at each corner. The front and side wings were two stories high. Shops for teaching the following trades were located in this building: Carpentry, wood turning, printing, tailoring, black-smithing, harness making, carriage trimming, wheelwrighting, plumbing, electrical engineering, tanning, painting, showmaking, machine shop practice, and architectural and mechanical drawing. The work of reorganizing the trade instruction at the Institute is going forward, and the regular classes resumed their work Wednesday morning October 16 in the temporary quarters, which have been arranged so that there may be no interference with the teaching of the students and soldiers enlisted for special training.

Car was crowded—people standing, young colored woman sitting in second seat from the front, occupied whole seat intended for two people. White lady tried to sit down by her; was rebuffed; had to get up because said young colored woman would not budge an inch, nor give up the ugly position she was in. She became the subject of jeers from others who were compelled to stand. Nobody had the nerve to say anything to her while she sat cross-legged in the middle of the seat. Ever and anon she tossed her head, rolled her eyes, and acted as if she were mad. She was not sick, not intoxicated, and we do not believe she was really mean, but my, she must have been densely ignorant—too ignorant, really, to be nice. Where could she have come from? We have never seen anything in our lives quite like this. What is to be said? What can be said? This young colored woman, or lady, or something else, is capable of doing the entire race a lot of harm by such foolish and daredevil nonsense. I wish I knew her name and might get this writing before her eyes, but it is likely that she could not read it anyway. PLEASANTON, KAN. M. Lon Coffer of La Cygne was in town Sunday.

STATEMENT of the ownership management circulation required by the act of Congress August 24, 1912, of The Topeka Plaindealer, published weekly at Topeka, Kansas; THE SHOCK OF PEACE When will the war be over? Millions in their hearts hope that it may be soon, but the thinking man may well fear the consequences of a peace which finds us unprepared. Let us picture the arrival of peace. All the world's millions will be wild with joy. The expectation of sacrifice, privation and death will be supplanted with a frantic relief. The look ahead down the long hard road of war instantly will be wiped out and in its place will come happiness and a new atmosphere filled with rosy visions. But, ohl the cold, gray dawn of the morning after, when we bathe our heads in icy common sense and face the facts of a world half-destroyed, of cities uprooted, of manufactures diverted from their normal course, of industries all twisted from their old foundations, of whole populations deflected from the wonted ways they must again learn to travel. Let us be selfish for a moment and blot out the awful picture of Europe. Let us consider only our own United States which war has as yet so lightly touched. Do you realize that at least ten millions of laborers are employed today in filling war orders, in making munitions for war, and in supplying with food, clothing and otherwise, our armies in the field? Do you realize that on the declaration of peace the United States will have in uniform in the army and navy four or five million men? What will happen to affect these soldiers and these laborers? The first thing probably will be the cancellation of war orders. Every factory, every industry organized on a war basis will be obliged, in the space of a few days, to place itself on a peace basis and in doing this it will face the stark unknown. If there are two million or more American soldiers in France it may require two years to bring them all home, but many of them will return immediately. Meanwhile, and this as soon as peace is declared, those assembled in cantonments in this country may be disbanded. What are these soldiers going to do, their former occupations largely gone, and coming back to a world where industries are partly if not wholly stagnant, where offices are filled with substitutes, where factories are closing down? We are floating now in the high tide of an artificial war commercial activity. How many have saved the extra wages earned? How many are ready to meet a protracted period of unemployment? Of course, employers will make every possible haste to switch their factories over to peace markets and peace customers. But all this takes time. Each man should ask himself,—what has he saved, what place has he ready to jump into when the one he now occupies is taken from him either by the shutting down of the work or by the return of soldiers to whom the country owes first care. Remember, too, that this shock of peace will hit us at the moment when the cost of living is at its pinnacle. Never before in our history will bread have cost so much, never before in our history will clothing, fuel, and the essentials of life have been so high. Millions will face on one side the clauses of unemployment and on the other the mountain peak of the highest prices ever known for living essentials. What may happen when demagogues will appear on every hand to preach anarchy and fear and envy and distrust, and when the demagogue has for an audience not only those of his own ilk, but the vast army compelled against its will to be idle and hungry? Then through the streets of the cities may be heard the hollow clink of the empty dinner pit. Then thru the stagnant factory mills may wander the underfed workers. Then will millions call upon those who have been temporarily their rulers for a terrible accounting. That we may have a better idea of what this initial era of peace may be, let us go back to the panic of 1891. Let us take from history one startling essential fact. The consumption of wheat in 1893 was largely reduced. Think what it means to have a large SATISFYING RELIEF FROM LUMBAGO SATISFYING RELIEF FROM LUMBAGO Gloan's Liniment has the punch that relieves rheumatic twinges This warmth-giving, congestion-scattering circulation-stimulating remedy penetrates without rubbing right to the aching spot and brings quick relief, surely, cleanly.

Bread is the last thing which a human being denies himself. If the people are buying less than their ordinary amount of bread, how much less do you imagine they will purchase of automobiles or furs or diamonds? If people are forced to buy less than their normal supply of bread, what becomes of the steel industry, what becomes of the coal mines, what becomes of the thousands of factories manufacturing every conceivable kind of material, what happens to the transportation facilities that convey the freights which are composed of these materials; what happens to the banks who --- Homer Hoch Republican Candidate For CONGRESS Fourth District of KANSAS FIRST BUSINESS—WIN Overthrow Militarism— All money needed to win Squandering public money Stop sectionalism, and p Large grants for returning Wages and hours based Grain for bread—none f Equal suffrage is simple Protection imperative af Broad, American plans FIRST BUSINESS-WIN THE WAR TO A FINISH Overthrow Militarism-A Condition of Peace All money needed to win-none to waste.

That he is eloquent cannot be denied; but it is the quality of eloquence that makes people take up a thought, keep thinking, and act.—Woodson County Advocate. (Democratic) There is no more able or better qualified young man in Kansas for Congressional service than Homer Hoch.—Chanute Tribune. The history of Kansas is going to have much in its chronicles concerning Homer Hoch, for his career is bringing to the notice of the people of the state his forceful character, intellectual ability and patriotic devotion.—Concordia Kansan. The people of the Fourth District have an opportunity, by electing Homer Hoch to get a man in Congress who will measure up to the present and coming responsibilities of the nation. - Herington Sun. ...Read The Plaindealer... supply the credit which supplies the money to meet the pay-rolls of these industries, of these factories, of these transportation systems? What happens in such a condition to the farmer when he looks for a market for his crops and finds that the bank, having contracted its credit, has contracted every phase of industry so that no one is able to buy to the extent he once did the food the farmer grows? What happens to the farmer when the prices of the food stuffs fall lower and lower and there is no desirable market even for the little which he half-heartedly grows? That which happens to the farmer, to the laborer, to the business man, to the clerk, to the professional man, and to the financier, is that which happens to the entire complicated structure of the nation. structure of the nation. It is panic. It happened in 1893. in a democratic administration, and the effects of it were felt in this country for four years, until a constructive Republican administration came into power and again filled the American dinner pad and again set the American nation on its feet. It is not the purpose here to frighten. It may be necessary first to frighten so that we may realize that the situation this country may face is imminently dangerous. But, unless this fright produces a constructive action, nothing is accomplished. If we are not frightened that we may be prepared, then we continue in idle dreams of the automatic prosperity of peace, until stern reality overtakes us. Now is the time to prepare for Reconstruction. For practical purposes we can read the lesson for tomorrow in the pages of yesterday. The Republican party, always constructive, possessing the ablest brains in America, rescued the nation from the consequences of the panic of 1893, and established the broad, deep, sound foundations of the national prosperity which has in this present time ```markdown ``` IN THE WAR TO A FINISH A Condition of Peace n—none to waste. ey a national crime. price-gouging. ing soldiers. on welfare. for booze. justice.

Now again this same Republican party must be brought to this commanding service that is required for the terrific era that shortly will be upon us. The Republican party always has been the preparedness party. For years it advocated and agitated for war preparedness. It is now strenuously advocating peace preparedness. The Republican party realizes that the problems of peace will outnumber the problems of war. It realizes that the war is merely the preliminary era from which this nation is to be projected into the herest economic strife of all time. We have had panics in the past. It is not necessary that any of them should be repeated in the era that is coming. It is better to present their possibility now and to provide against them than it is to say nothing and to do nothing until it is too late. The dinner-pail need never be empty. The markets need not be depressed. That industry should not be paralyzed by peace it is vitally necessary that the proper provision be made at the present time for these exceedingly grave problems of Reconstruction. It will be fatal to wait until they are actually upon us. The Republican party, true to its history of constructive statesmanship, for it has been called upon always to rescue the nation from financial panic, already has laid the ground work by presenting in Congress the Weeks' Resolution calling for the appointment of a committee on Reconstruction. If this bill passes the present Congress, and if the next Congress is Republican, then its provisions may be carried out immediately and the necessary legislative steps will have been taken to avert the perils of peace. The United States today stands on the threshold of the open door. Beyond lies the smiling plain of peace. But that plain will prove to be a mirage, unless experienced, competent guides are instantly found to take us across it. The Republican party alone is competent to construct the bridge across which the nation may safely pass from a victorious war to a prosperous peace.
