ARTHUR CAPPER, Best Fitted Man in Kansas for United States Senator-Vote for Him. CALL COLORED SOLDIERS COONS White Officers at Funston Mistreat Our Brave Lads— Sick are Neglected. The following telegram was sent Wednesday to President Wilson and Secretary Baker: "Hon. Woodrow Wilson, Commander in Chief Army and Navy, President United States. "My Dear President: "I have just returned from Camp Funston, where several thousand colored soldiers are quartered at Detention Camp No. 1. They volunteered the information that they are being woefully mistreated. After heavy rains water stands in pools under their bunks, making "Taps" a call to torture. In dry weather several inches of dust add to their discomfort. They complain of white commissioned officers addressing them as "nigger," "coon," "shine," and other odious names that should not be applied to any man selected to carry democracy to an oppressed people in a foreign land. In the last few days a few colored second heutenants have been brought to camp, used as an ordinary policeman would be used in any city, with no hope of promotion. "Colored soldiers afflicted with a loathsome disease die of neglect. Yet there are 300 commissioned negro physicians and dentists that have not been called to duty, and as many trained nurses. From information received we believe these conditions prevail in other camps where colored soldiers are located. We are at a loss to know why these outrages are being perpetrated among these soldiers when they are putting up as brave a fight against the kaiser as any other race opposing him on the western front. We believe that you are not aware of these conditions. We would like to see a committee of fair-minded white men, with Col. Chas. Young included, investigate these conditions, that we may know the truth. We had hoped that every man who proved his efficiency would be promoted. This, it seems, is confined only to the white soldier and officer. Our soldiers are still being "Jim Crowed" on trains and at lunch counters, other paces besides in the South. At Camp Funston the soldiers are refused canteen service at the only canteen in the vicinity and are compelled to walk a mile where they can be served. We have called the attention of the secretary of war to the same facts complained of. "Yours truly, NICK CHILES "President Kansas Defense Society." A WORD TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF THE 13TH DISTRICT The colored people will be a factor in determining who shall represent them in the next state legislature— --- whether it shall be a man who has always been squaro with the black man and has always lent a helping hand to the colored race in its struggles up life's hill, or whether it shall be one who has at all times and always voted against the interests of the Race. The two candidates running for representative of the 13th District are Nick Johnson and Dr. J. M. McWharf. During the campaign two years ago there were some colored boys touring the country with the democratic candidates, when lunch caught them at one of the small towns of Franklin county. Mr. Johnson escorted the colored men who had been furnishing music for the meeting to the kitchen to be served. Again after the election, and Mr. Nick Johnson was sent to the legislature, every Jim Crow bill that came before the legislature to segregate the colored people, Mr. Johnson voted for them. Will the thinking colored again send Mr. Johnson to Topeka to vote for black laws to be spread upon the statute books? On the other hand we have searched Doctor McWilson's record from New York, whence he hauls to Kansas 35 years ago, and we can not find an instance where he has ever voted for or suggested any measure that would in the least handcap the progress of the colored race. He has always stood four square for the colored man to have a square deal. If Doctor McWarf is sent to the legislature this year, the black man's interest will be safeguarded along with all other measures that are designed to make Kansas great. MR.CREWS IN THE FIGHT MR.CREWS IN THE FIGHT Brilliant Missouri Editor and Orator Will Assist in Securing the Release of Imprisoned Soldiers. The Sun has looked carefully into this proposition as suggested by the Kansas Defense Society and believes that it is the duty of the colored people of this country to use every honorable and lawful means to secure for these unfortunate soldiers every consideration to which they are entitled. We have been requested by Mr. Nick Chiles, president of the organization, to solicit funds to be used in meeting the expense of these attorneys in their habeas corpus proceedings, and we hereby announce that we will gladly receive and forward to the proper officers of this society any funds contributed by colored or white citizens in this worthy cause, and as an evidence of good faith the Editor of the Sun, Nelson C. Crews, starts the Kansas City list of contributors with a subscription of ten dollars, and we urge every church and every denomination, large and small, every fraternal society, and every negro to contribute to this worthy cause. WHO WILL BE THE FIRST? As contributions are received a standing list will be published weekly in the columns of this paper. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 1,1918 MR. MOTTER A GREAT LEADER MR. MOTTER A GREAT LEADER Chairman Republican Committee United the Party and Redeemed the State. The Republican Party of Kansas has been fortunate in securing the services of Hon. H. H. Motter as chairman of the State Central Committee. This selection means the branched together of all factions of the party to work in one common cause. The democrats succeeded in controlling five of eight congressional districts for five years and elected five democratic congressmen and one senator. To Mr. Motter goes the honor of defeating these democrats and putting the Kansas delegation back in the republican column. The republican party can truthfully say that they have elected a man who can deliver the goods. Mr. Motter is an upright Christian gentleman, a member of the M.E. church, and superintendent of the Sabbath school in McPherson. He has strong faith in his religion and believes in the guidance of the Almighty Jehovah. Mr. Motter is a man who believes in the recognition of all classes of the republican party, and out of 25 lady employees at the State Central Committee five are young colored women. They all speak in the highest terms of Mr. Motter and say that he treats them with courtesy and kindness at all times. Mr. Motter was born in Wisconsin and brought to Kansas by his parents in Rice county, where they settled on a farm in Rice county. He toiled hard until he was 23. He is a graduate of high school and college and taught school until he became superintendent of the schools in Chase and Lyon counties. For 16 years he was a travelling salesman and has always been an active republican. He has been head of all war work and Liberty drives until he took charge of the State Central Committee. So successfully has he managed the Allen campaign for governor that when Mr. Allen is elected governor there should be nothing within his gift too good for this great leader. His management of the present campaign has proven Mr. Motter's ability as an organizer and leader of men. To prove his ability for doing big things he conceived the idea that a monument should be erected to the memory of Gen. J. B. McPherson, for whom the city was named. He organized several different committees in the county, known as the Monument Association. They worked in harmony, and on June 4, 1917, the monument was unveiled in the presence of 50,000 people. Among the many notables present were Lt. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Mrs. John A. Logan, Gov. Capper, and many others. During the next presidential campaign Mr. Motter should be given a prominent place on the National Committee, where he can use his great ability to bring about party success. THE EDITOR VISITS. We visited Newton, Wichita, Wellington, Winfield, Independence, Parsons, Pittsburg, and Garnett last week but did not tarry long at any town for the reason that all churches and many business places were closed on account of the influenza epidemic. At NEWTON we stopped over and saw the next congressman from the Eighth District, Mr. Charles C. Mack, who is the republican candidate. The colored people are loyally supporting him. We found quite a number of colored women and other colored employes at the Santa Fe yards and round-house. We met Mrs. Coleman, who has charge of the oil cans, and there are four members of her family employed by the Santa Fe, and together they draw something over four hundred dollars a month. We had dinner with our friend Mr. M. Childs and wife. They own good property and are getting along nicely. One of the most not-worthy enterprises among our people is the shining-parlor and clothes cleaning and repair establishment owned by Mr. R. H. Simms. This is a first-class shop. It is fitted with a bamboo shining outfit which was imported to this country at a cost of $500 from the storage house. At WICHITA we found the city booming, met our friend J. R. Ransom and Rev. E. T. Fishback, who were not feeling so happy over the fact that the churches were closed, but they said it was the Lord's will, and they would willingly submit. We visited the Makin Eye Drug Store, of which C. A. Morris is proprietor, and saw our friend James Brown, one of the pharmacists. They are doing fine and are busy all the time and are making money. Dr P. M. Bell has purchased the beautiful brick residence of Attorney Blinkmore. Dr. E. E. Bowser, his college chum, and wife of Parsons were guests at the Bell home, and they were being royally entertained. Our old friend Doctor Farmer was down with the rheumatism, but his many friends say he will be up in a few dava. We were the guest of Dr. G. G. Brown and wife at dinner and must say the madam is an excellent housekeeper and knows how to cook wholesome food. Dr. A. K. Lawrence is doing well and is full of smiles over the arrival of his fine son. Rev. J. E. Toomer has opened a missionary church for the C. M. E. denomination at 1156 Mosley. Doctor Toomer and wife are a fine young couple and are doing much good for the denomination, and we predict a great future for them. We met Miss Ara Hawkins, who is teaching school at Wichita. She was enjoying a visit of Mrs. Merritt, wife of Rev. Merritt of Pratt. The Whiteway cafe is doing the business. We are proud to say that the proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford, have purchased the building in which the cafe is located, which speaks well for them. Mrs. Ada Barton Coulter is doing fine. She owns two business buildings on North Main Street and one vacant lot. Mrs. Henrietta Harper reports the Household of Ruth and State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs moving along nicely. Mrs. Harper has a hair dressing establishment and is doing a good business. WELLINGTON At Wellington we were the guest of our friend Major Blackwell. Mr. Blackwell is a shrewd young business man and a large tax payer, as he has investment in oil wells, real estate, and rental property, and loans money. He is a man whom we consider as a true lover of his race, for he is always in a position to help them and does so. On Sunday afternoon we were the guest of Miss Florence Horton and her mother to a fine dinner. It seemed that we had never tasted such good chicken, and as fast as we took a piece from the dish it was replenished until we had to give up the job and leave the dish filled with chicken despite our efforts to the contrary. We shall always have sweet memories of the Horton home. Miss Florence is a beautiful, accomplished young lady and a fine soprano singer and church worker. She gives recitals for the benefit of the local churches and is a great help to her race. While in the city we met our old friend C. H. Robbins, who is employed at the Santa Fe passenger depot and just returned from a trip to Grimes county, Texas, and reports a good time, but says deliver him from Texas, despite the fact that that was his birthplace. We met our friend Louis Strange, who owns two or three good pieces of property and is industrious. Some good woman who can cook well and keep house and smile once in a while could get a good home if she would acquaint herself with Mr. Strange. Our friend Oldham is now night watchman at the big mill. He has been employed at the mill for twenty-five years, and the owner thought it was no more than right in Mr. Oldham's declining years to give him something light. Our friend Sherman Teal is still running his barber shop and is doing fine. We met Nat Cooper, who is head chef at the leading hotel. He owns a good farm in Oklahoma. We met our friend G. W. Roberts who is treasurer of the endowment department of the Knights of Pythias and is one of Wellington's leading business men. He conducts a large restaurant and cafe. His wife is now in California on a visit. Mr. Roberts is covered with smiles because of the fact that he has received a letter from his son Homer, who is now in France and has been promoted to First Lieutenant of the 325 Signal Corps. Young Roberts is a graduate of Tuskegee and also attended Manhattan College. He reports everything moving along fine over there and says he is kept very busy. We stopped over night at WINEFIELD with our old friend Frank Montgomery and family. We found them enjoying their fine automobile. Mr Montgomery and Mr. J. II. Jackson are authorized to raise money for the Kansas Defense Society to assist in prosecuting the case of the court-martialled soldiers of the 24th Infantry, who are now incarcerated in the federal prison at Leavenworth for participation in the Houston riot. INDEPENDENCE We met Rev, J. W, Sheperd of the A. M. E. church, who is doing well. We met our friend O. C. Crooms and his wife. They are employed at the postoffice. Mr. P. W. White and wife conduct a nice restaurant and cafe. Dr. D. H. Davis is enjoying a large practice. Mr. H. I. Davis, who has charge of a large gas and oil business, also owns a five acre tract and raises a number of hogs. We met our friend Perle Tipton and wife, who have a large contract for moving buildings in Independence, which amounts to several thousand dollars. At PARSONS we were proud to learn that our old friend Percy Robinson, who is clerk at one of the offices of the Kuty shops, has been nominated on the republican ticket for coroner of Labette county. He is the first colored man to be nominated for this position in that county, and it has been several years since this county elected a colored man to any position. The late Rev. Fairfax was elected representative from that ```markdown ``` DAN R. ANTHONY, Able First District Congressman Who Should be Kept on the Job. district several years ago and served with credit and honor. Mrs Laura Woods is in receipt of some very interesting letters from her son and nephew, who are now in France. Mrs. Anna Motley is enjoying the company of her little nephew of Oklahoma. He is a bright little fellow of about three years. The A. M. E. church, of which Rev. T. W. Greene is pastor, is near completion. Mrs. Shepherd, who conducts a beauty parlor, is enjoying a nice business, as is also Mrs. Aritha Dorney Clayton, who is engaged in the same kind of work. by the city as an old regular of the 24th Infantry, and was first duty sergeant of Co. G and served in the Indian war at Rango Bracks, Tex., in 1878. He is every inch a soldier and a race man. We stopped over at GARNETT and while there met our friend and fellow townsman Dennis Ray, who was visiting his parents. He also visited his friends Mr. and Mrs. Lonian, and while there Mr. Lonian presented him with several hands of home made tobacco, and the two sat for hours smoking and telling stories of the early history of Garnett. We visited the farm of Mr. James PITTSBURG Everybody is getting along nicely at Pittsburg. Rev. John Elias, pastor of the Baptist church, was very kind to drive us around over the city. Mr. Percy Cole, the auto machinist, is still on the job, doing good work. He enjoys the company of his wife and two fine children. We were the guest of Prof. King and wife while in the city. Mr. Haynes and wife conduct a restaurant and rooming house and are doing well. Mrs. Sarnh White has just returned from a trip to Greeneville, S. C., where she visited her aged mother and other relatives. She reports a nice time, but says the rebels are too hard for her, and she would not wish to live there permanently any more. Her mother is 82 years old. Mrs. White recently sold her farm for $1,500, and she also owns other property. She is a prosperous widow. We called at the home of Ex Senator Porter, who is one of the wealthiest men in Kansas. He is a big lumber man and has charge of a government contract; also owns a large number of mills in Florida. He is a great friend to the colored people. His residence at Pittsburgh is one of the finest in Kansas and is presided over by his estimable Christian wife, who is doing much for the Red Cross and other social work for the upbuilding of the human race. Mrs. Porter is very much interested in the welfare of those who work for them, and she showed us a letter from Mr. Leslie Prentice, a young man who was formerly in their employ but is now in the army stationed at Anderson, Ala. with his regiment. He writes that he is getting along nicely, and Mrs. Porter says she is sure he will make good, as he is honest and upright and while in their employ gave them the very beat of service. She also spoke highly of another young man who had worked for them, Mr. Marshall Penn of Atchison, who is now at Camp Funston. In speaking of the South Mrs. Porter said that in the lumber districts Col. Porter had built and maintained schools for the colored people in Florida and helped them to build a church. She says what is needed in that section of the country is good Christian missionaries to go there and educate the people along the lines of morality. In many instances she says the colored people are left to do as they please, and it is not uncommon to find parties separated after being married a number of years, marrying the second and third time without securing a divorce. She is in deep sympathy with the race and would like to see something done to better their condition. We met Mrs. J. D. Alexander, who has received a letter from her son, Sergt. Herbert D. Alexander, who is located at Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., and he is now instructor of the Machine Gun' Brigade, and he has handled this department so well that the officers insist on his going to the officers' training camp. He is a progressive young man and has already taken out $100 worth of liberty bonds and sends money to his parents. Mr. K. T. Early who is employed by the city as an old regular of the 24th Infantry, and was first duty sergeant of Co. G and served in the Indian war at Ringo Barracks, Tex., in 1878. He is every inch a soldier and a race man. We stopped over at GARNETT and while there met our friend and fellow townsman Dennis Ray, who was visiting his parents. He also visited his friends Mr. and Mrs. Lonian, and while there Mr. Lonian presented him with several hands of home made tobacco, and the two sat for hours smoking and telling stories of the early history of Garnett. We visited the farm of Mr. James Tolson, and we also visited Mrs. Nora Tolson, one of our old subscribers. They are all doing well. At we stopped with our friends Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Simpson. The colored people seem to be getting along nicely. Mr. J. B. Lewis will be correspondent for the Plaindealer instead of Miss Tillie Warder, who is now married and lives in Manhattan. She has the best wishes of the Plaindealer. Sgt. Gibson is the recipient of many letters from ladies over the country. We expect by this time next year he will have made some good lady happy.

OLIVER Kansas City Original UNDERTAKER ON MINNESOTA AVE AT 415 Service at a Saving KANSAS CITY, KANSAS MENIFEE, ARK. Menifee is a small town situated on the Iron Mountain railroad about 38 miles west of the State Capital, located in a very fertile district, with the Cadron Creek on the coast and the Arkansas River to the south, a large bottom, chiefly populated by a thrifty, intelligent set of colored peep'e. Some have gone over the top in the agricultural pursuit. They raise their something to eat and are loaning their money to Uncle Sam to win this war. Nearly every farmer's house we would pass round close to Menifee would have from one to six bales of cotton in their yards, waiting for higher prices, and fattening hogs in their pens, waiting for their doom. Mr. Alexander, a leading farmer of this vicinity, has planted his wheat. Right here is where I first saw a mule footed hog. These farmers can count everything that they have to buy out of the store to eat on their fingers; have to buy a little sugar and coffee the rest of the catables they produce on the farm. The Mitchell Brothers own and control a gun, a grist mill, and a grocery store. Prof. D. I. Mitchell mail, also mail carrier Route I Mass Iola M. received the appointment not long ago as postmistress, Miss Lathie Mitchell, assistant postmistress.
