TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY CANS UNDER ARMS Dr. Scott noted that there are now overseas, "at grips with the master infancy of the civilized world or awaiting the call to active combat, nearly 400,000 gallant black soldiers, the "frut and flower of the Negro race." These, he said, represent a response of more than 50 per cent of the total number of Negroes registered in the draft, and a larger proportion number than has been true of other racial groups registered under the first draft. "And this number," added Dr. Scott, "takes no account of the sturdy, upstanding men of my race who are members of the four 'crack' regiments of the Regular Army, nor the 12,000 brawny men who came into service through the National Guard organizations, such as the 'Fighting Fifteenth' of New York, which has, along with others, won imperishable fame on the battle field in France." He pointed with pride to the fact that while the Negro represented only 8 per cent of the first draft registration the race has COLORED OFFICER IS MISTREATED COLORED OFFICER IS MISTREATED Gen. Wood Regrets the Affair, But Has no Power to Act—It is up to Secretary Baker. To Leonard Wood, Major General U. S.A., Camp Funston. Captain Lataon, colored, is now confined to quarters at Western University, Kansas City, Kansas, subject to court martial under orders of Col. McGregor, Larson was ordered to this school of instruction by the Adjutant General, to report to Col. McGregor for duty. The white captain is said to have overestimated his authority and placed this colored captain under restrictions from race prejudice. We believe you will investigate this matter and see justice given this young colored captain. It is a shame and disgrace that a colored captain cannot be sent to a colored institution to give instructions without being disgraced and abused by white officers because they have the power to do so. This society is organized for the purpose of asking men like you who are in authority to see our race given justice in this particular line of military affairs. This is only one of many hundred instances where injustice is practiced upon colored men in the U. S. Army. Your truly, NICK CHILLS. Pres. Kansas Defense Society. My Dear Sir: Your telegram of the 14th instant received. Unfortunately, this case you have heard of is not under my jurisdiction, but the matter will have to be handled through the War Department in Washington. Yours very truly, LEONARD WOOD Major General, U. S. A. GEORGIA COLORED PEOPLE IN THE NORTH BY E. J. MATHEWS The work of the Nineteenth B. M. C. being over, and Georgia with her twenty allies from all parts of the Union having won such a signal victory, I decided to visit a few of the Northern cities, where our people from Georgia had gone in large numbers. Meeting my old friend S. B. Barlow, formerly of Americus, he offered to accompany me to his home in Hartford, Conn. We reached Hartford, and on all sides I was greeted by happy, contented people that I had known in Southwest Georgia. Instead of finding a shiftless, discontented people, I found men, women, and children engaged in every occupation open to laboring people—in the stores, in the factories, on buildings, on the railroads, and with the express company in the capacity of express messengers. I found most of the children in the public schools taking their places beside the children of other races, and the Southern child not a whit behind the others in class work. Everybody works; you see no losers. Everybody has a substantial pay envelope once a week, and our people are using economy in their expenses. Some have substantial bank accounts; others have bought homes and are making regular payments. I didn't see a real business house by an old colored citizen of Hartford, but found six well-stocked and neatly arranged grocery stores owned and operated by Georgia colored men. Mr. G. C. Morrow can be found at 123 North Street, with a full line of fancy and family groceries and a patronage that most any Southern retail merchant would be proud to have. Other prosperous Southern merchants are: Mr. I. Guy, at 105 Mother street, Mr. John Hicks, 40 Warren street, Wells Brothers, 7 Huntley avenue, L. W. Martin, 42 Chestnut street, and Mr. G. A. Lee, 40 Russell street. Each of them is doing a successful business, with patronage from people of all races. Several of our Georgia girls are clerks in three of the biggest department stores in Hartford, and are making good. Mr. Jas, Patterson, an old Dawson boy, has made good as a wall decorator and is doing work for many of the most aristocratic white citizens of the city. He is prominent in church work being a member of Shiloh Baptist church, one of the largest and most influential churches in the city. Rev. G. S. Clark, a former pastor in Dawson, Ga., has a splendid congregation of Southern people and is doing veeman service for the Master. He is idolized by his members. At Springfield, Mass., our people have not launched out very far in the business world, but they are engaged in all kinds of work. They have succeeded in getting employment in factories where colored men could not enter the gates twelve months ago. and the wages are the same paid white employees. No discrimination in wages. Stay on the job and do your work well, and your pay comes just as it comes to the other races. No idlers are found at Springfield. Most of them work on the eight-hour-per-day system, and when over time is made they get pay for time and half time. Our people have gained the confidence of the employers of labor and are in demand. They are regarded as much more reliable than the foreigners, who have been the back-bone of labor in that section. At Philadelphia our people are doing just as well as at the other places visited, and those working at Hog Island, the big government ship yard, are receiving the largest pay of any others. Mr. Walter Gay, formerly a prosperous citizen of Dawson, Ga., has bought a large three-story brick building and has a grocery store that would do credit to most any Southern grocer. It took our people a long time to gain the confidence of the Northern employers, and those that went first endured many hardships, but now the tide has turned, and they are regarded as most desirable citizens and are ever in demand at increased wages. Would be glad to mention the many old friends we met, but space will not permit. However, we were glad to meet and greet them, and the reception tendered me by them will never be forgotten. Every attention and courtesy that could be given a visitor was tendered me by the Georgia people in Hartford, Springfield, and Philadelphia, and I shall welcome the day when I can visit them again. They have made good, and I am proud of them. APRICAN COLONIES SHOULD NEVER BE RESTORED TO GERMAN DOMINATION. Emmett J. Scott Voices Earnest Protest of 12,000,000 American Negroes Against Returning Oppressed Black Peoples to German Tranny. Urges Larger Liberties for African Allies, Under Government of an International Commission—One Member to Be Colored American—How Black Men of the World Have Aided in War for Freedom and Democracy. New York, November 4.—At a major patriotic meeting Saturday night at Carnegie Hall, under the auspices of The Circle of Negro War Relief, the principal speaker was Irvin S. Cobb, the famous war correspondent, who has recently returned from the French front, where he was a witness to some of the most important battles of the present conflict of the Allies against Germany. Mr. Cobb's theme was "The Negro Soldier," and his remarks were of especial interest because of his intimate contact with the colored American warriors during their trying "baptism of fire." Prominent among other speakers who were heard on this occasion was Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and for eighteen years the confidential secretary of the late Booker T. Washington. He was appointed a little more than a year ago by Secretary Newton D. Bakar as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, to advise him with reference to the many delicate problems growing out of the relation of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country to the war, and to indicate to his people how they might render the most effective aid in bringing victory to the American arms. THE NEGRO'S PART IN THE Dr. Scott prefaced his address with the declaration that "this is the peoples war—not a white man's war, not a black man's war, but a war for all the people under the Stars and Stripes for the preservation of human liberty throughout the world." In this conflict for liberty and world-wide democracy, Dr. Scott said "The Negro is proving to be a notable and inspiring figure." He warmed his people not to be deceived by unofficial statements or expressions that peace is near, declaring that an enduring peace will never come until the enemy a decisively beaten, and pledging the continuance of the loyal battlers in the forefront of strife to the very finish—until an honorable peace has been enforced or obtained. NEARLY 400,000 COLCRED AMERICANS, UNDER ARMS TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 15,1918 DOES PEACE MEAN DEMOCRACY AND PROTECTION FOR BLACK AMERICA WHO GAVE HER SONS? DOES PEACE MEAN DEMOCRACY AND PROTECTION FOR BLACK AMERICA WHO GAVE HER SONS? The world war is over, so far as guns and ammunition go, but the war for the freedom of mankind has just begun. Let every nation on the globe get together for the betterment of all. Let us not have any malice toward Germany or any of her entente. They were wrong, and they now see it. They have surrendered all to our side and are now begging for help. We can make them better people by extending Christian sympathy to those who were not responsible for this bloody conflict. Don't let this world's war bring on a hardship to those who fought for the freedom of all, as the black man fought for the preservation of this Nation and democracy in the wars of 1776, 1812, 1861, 1898, 1918, and afterwards was enslaved, sold, outraged, seduced, lynched, burned, ostracised, Jim Crowed, and up to this day the race is not recognized by white America. On the other hand all foreigners that come to the American shores are received with open arms and given the best opportunities to earn a livelihood. They are not compelled to spend money to secure their rights at law, as does the black man, but all citizenship rights are bestowed upon him without the slightest protest. The Southern white man rebelled against the union of states and waged actually contributed 15 per cent to the number called to the colors under said draft. He noted also that in every 100 in the first draft examined for service, proximately 36 per cent were accepted, while only 24 per cent of the whites were accepted, a difference of 12 per cent in the Negro's favor for physical quality. This, he contended, dispatches the ancient yarn about the black people being a deteriorating or decadent people. Relatively, fewer colored men claimed exemption from military service than did the whites. Dr. Scott further declared that the war, "grim-visaged and ruthless as it is, has served or afforded the Negroes an opportunity once more to prove their unbounded, unfaltering loyalty—their 100 per cent Americanism and to demonstrate their immunity from insidious German propaganda. The war has made for the advancement of the material welfare of the race. Prior to the present conflict the Negro had less than a dozen commissioned officers; now he has more than 1,200, all highly qualified and forward-looking men. From an army of but four regiments, with only infantry and cavalry, the race has now every conceivable branch of the service, and the reports from officers, from Pershing down, indicate that these men are giving an excellent account of themselves. Dr. Scott read several letters from French and American officers testifying to the gallantry and valor of the colored men under the severest shell-fire and how they had held the line intact in many instances under the most trying circumstances. URGES SELF GOVERNMENT FOR COLONIZATION NATIONAL COMMISSION TIONAL COMMISSION After noting numerous cases where black men had been awarded the French Craik de Guerre and paying a tribute to the preceless labors of the black soldiers of America and elsewhere to the world safe for democracy," Dr. Scott made a somewhat startling plea for a solemn guarantee of international protection and larger liberties for the darker races of the world, registering a fervent protest against any policy that might restore to Germany her pillaged African colonies and urging a form of self government for these oppressed peoples, under an appointed International Commission, upon which shall be a colored American "to voice the inarticulate yearnings of that host of exploited and pillaged people." PROTESTS AGAINST RESTORING PROTESTS AGAINST RESTORING AFRICAN COLONIES TO GERMANY Elaborating this point with reference to the future of the colonies wrested from German domination and tyranny, Dr. Scott described the revolting cruelties perpetuated upon the natives in the African dependencies, noting an official report of Edmund H. L. Gorges, Secretary of the Interior for the South African Union, which tells of the enslaving of men and the outraging of women, of hangings and flogginga and wholesale massacres; with many tribes threatened with extinction. In Togoland, where the oppression was especially rife, it is said that the population fell off a million souls in less than two decades of murder and rapine. "May we not, in this solemn hour, register our fervent protest against any contemplation of restoring to Germany these African colonies she has so long oppressed and betrayed?" asked Dr. Scott. Is it too much to say that to restore these helpless black men to their former oppressors would be a terrible betrayal? Has not the hour come in which men, even of Darkest Africa, may cry out for the right to elect or ordain their own deathy under an acceptable tutelage and guidance of enlightened men rather than under oppression, and master欲?" --- one of the bloodiest conflicts ever known in history up to that time, yet after all of their outrages they were permitted to become citizens again, retained their property, and yet the black man who fought to put this white Southern rebel down and brought peace to all in this country is now bearing the brunt and insults of this same fellow. The idea of a man who rebelled against his country being allowed to browbeat and run over the men and their children who put them down! We hope this will not be the case of those who went overseas and offered their lives for freedom. All should stand on a level, and we predict that everybody is going to stand up for their rights, the South notwithstanding. We never offered to kill Jeff Davis nor any of his sympathizers. What are they doing? Everything against a loyal North and West and the black race. We are glad the President sall: "Peace has come." Now let us watch and see. We think it not more than fair that a black man be placed upon the peace commission to be named. He has earned it, and there are thousands who are competent. We know France and England would not object but would gladly welcome a colored man on the commission. What will Democratic America do? "Black men of America and Africa have helped to route and humble the Hun," continued Dr. Scott. "When civilization all but tottered to its doom, Senegalese, Algerian, and Soudanese troops played the Hun and saved civilization to the world. Soon around the Peace Table representatives of the nations of the Earth are to gather. France and England in the hour of need have gladly accepted the allegiance and the assistance of tribes from Africa. A great and responsible duty now devolves upon the nations of the world to see that these poor people, along with other oppressed peoples, shall not be again placed under the iron heel of malignant oppressors. "In truth, the hour has come, in my opinion, when the world should declare that not only are these colonies not to be turned back to Germany, but to no other nation as well. "May not we, brothers by racial ties and blood sympathy of these African peoples, speak for them and call for their freedom, for their liberties, for the self-determination of their death, AND FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION, which shall in the future govern these colonies, AND UPON WHICH COMMISSION THERE SHOULD SIT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 12,000,000 COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA, who represent the largest group of forward looking black people of the world, TO VOICE THE IN ARTICULATE YEARNINGS OF THAT HOST OF EXPLOITED AND PILLAGED PEOPLE!" ARE YOU READY TO SUPPORT SUCH A REQUEST? PLEDGES LOYALTY OF NEGRO AMERICANS TO OUR FLAAG... In conclusion Dr. Scott said: "Till victory and pence come, we shall continue to pledge to the President of the United States and the national government all that we have and that we are, whether at the bleeding battle front or wherever faithful service will count most toward winning the great war in which we are engaged. We are pledged to do everything that will help and nothing that will hamper our Government in winning this war for the honor, the independence, and the sacred principles of Our Country, and the ultimate freedom of all mankind. "We can pledge no more—OUR COUNTRY EXPECTS NO LESS!" COLORED MEN TO LEGISLATURE Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 9—Resulting from Tuesday's election three colored men will have seats in the lower house when West Virginia's legislature convenes next January, rivaling the record of any state since the days of Reconstruction. The successful candidate, nominated in primaries and elected on the Republican ticket, are J. V. Coleman of Fayette county, formerly oustmaster at Kimberly, now engaged in the production of coal; H. J. Capehart of McDowell county, an attorney at law; and T. G. Nuttor, former Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, at present Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Nutter is also an attorney. Both Fayette and McDowell counties have had Colored legislators before, the former three and the latter one, but at no time has there been more than one Colored representative in the legislature. The nomination and election of these men is considered remarkable for the fact that in none of the counties which they represent is there a majority of Colored voters the percent in McDowell being 34, Fayette 22, and Kenawha 10.

Scott, Special Assistant, that the Secretary of War has directed as necessary in the military service that Colonel Charles Young proceed to Camp Grant, Rockford, IL, and report in person to the Commanding General of that Camp for assignment to duty in connection with the Colored Development Battalions at Camp Grant. Ten New Colored Chaplains Appointed Ten new colored chapulins have been appointed for service among the colored troops of the United States Army, with rank of first lieutenant. They are: Charles Y.

Morris, (Methodist), to Camp Meade, Annapolis Junction, Md.; Robert W. Jefferson, (Baptist), and George C. Parker and Isaac C. Snowden, (both Methodists), to Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C. Frank R. Arnold, William Y. Bell and Benjamin H. Johnson are as yet unassigned. These appointments, together with the number previously assigned, gives a total of sixty colored chapulins now serving in the United States Army, in this country and overseas. Colored Medical Officers Assigned to Active Service. Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.—An announcement is made that a number of colored physicians, who have been serving as privates in the military service, have been given commissions as lieutenants in the Army Medical Corps and have been assigned to active duty in several of the colored schools where units of the Students' Army Training Corps are established and young colored men are receiving instruction in collegiate and vocational branches, in connection with their training in military science and tactics. Lieut. Frol D. Ramsey has been assigned to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Lieut. Robert D. Foster to Morehouse College and Atlanta University, Atlanta, for duty with both institutions. The following assignments have also been made: Lieut. J. M. Gill, to Branch Normal School, Pine Bluff, Arkansas; Lieut. J. J.A. Webb, to Negro Agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N.C.; Lieut. J. N. S. Taylor, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia; and Lieut. W. H.

Mr. Wilson's Able Address When the Knighta and Doughtors of Tabor met in Topeka last July, Hon. A. F. Wilson, of Kansas City, Kansas, Orator and Prince of fine gentlemen, was chosen to respond to the address of welcome delivered by Governor Capper. It was a master effort and a literary gem. Singe the address was delivered, we have received hundreds of requests to print it in these columns, and we take pleasure in presenting the address, which follows: Sir C. G. M., Daughter Chief Grand Preceptress, Officers, and Members of the International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Kansas-Nebraska and Jurisdiction: To my lot has fallen the honor of responding to the hearty welcome that has been extended to us by this Price $1.50 Per Year our Most Worthy Daughter, and it is with profound gratitude to you that you have opened your city and homes with their comforts to this great organization. We have come from all over the Jurisdiction to this fair city, Omaha, because we felt that the greatness of your city and the loyalty of your hearts would cause you to do as you have done, extend to us a hearty welcome. All over the Jurisdiction the annual call has been issued, and we are here representing the Temples, Tabernacles, Tents, and Palatiums of the greatest organization ever founded. While here we hope to accomplish much for the upbuilding of this organization and for the elevation of our race. While we have come as representatives of the various Temples, Tabernacles, Tents, and Palatiums, we will also show you in response to your welcome tendered us that we have come to your city and to this grand session JOHN H. as Christian men and women, striving to show by example and precept that we stand for the great principle upon which the order is founded. ```markdown ``` We rejoice to greet you one and all as children of a common Father assembled to deliberate upon the mighty concerns of our organization and to consider how we can best promote the great principles which underlie the growth, enlightenment, prosperity, success, and Christian uplift of our people in this organization and country. As we come together rejoicing that we have been spared to meet again in another grand session, yet sorrow is in our hearts, when we realize that we are at the gateway of the greatest crisis that this nation has been called upon to face, and in this crisis the Negro will be called upon to show his manhood. Patriotism dictates that we respond readily, willingly, and bravely to the call. This nation is over 100 million strong in population, and of this vast number about twelve millions are Negroes. Standing as we do on the verge of an unprecedented war, there must be no hesitation or quibbling on the part of our Negro citizenship. I admit that we have our grievances, we have been mistreated in the house of our friends. Our nation has not accorded to a man's place among men. We have been refused equal protection by a democracy which preaches liberty to the world. Negroes have been segregated in the public buildings in the city of Washington by the President of the nation. Against these things in the time of peace and under normal conditions we still contend, but when our nation faces a foreign power, and the very life and honor of our nation are at stake, all racial contentions must be set aside, and the negro must respond readily to the call of the nation. There have been some among us who would not sing the national airs. There doubtless may be others who think our attitude in this crisis must be that of a loofness. But the higher motives dictate that this cannot be the attitude of the Negro. He has everything to be gained by being truly patriotic. We have a heritage that should inspire us for whatever the future may bring. The Topeka Plaindealer ESTABLISHED IN 1800. BICK CHILLS. . .

INVESTIGATE NEGRO LABOR PROBLEMS Committee Organized by Director of Negro Economics Undertaking Important Work in South. Two important investigations connected with the labor problems of connected with the labor problems of Southern states—one to determine what truth, if any, there is in charges that negroes are quitting work because they receive allotments from relatives in the military service, and the other to examine proposals that negro women be subject to compulsory work laws. The object of organizations built up by Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro economics of the United States Department of labor, is to make the relations between the white and colored populations of the Southern States as congenial as possible, and to prevent discrimination against the negro in labor affairs A canvass of the colored people of Florida is being undertaken with a view to impress upon them the necessity of voluntary aid, to the best of their ability, in the government's war labor program. This project, it is believed, will overcome the labor shortage without resort to compulsion and will stimulate to useful employment any negroes who may have quit work because of government allotments. The work of the division of Negro economics is carried on through state and county organizations composed in part of white and in part colored citizens. There has been excellent co-operation between the races in working out war-labor problems. Florida's special problems were discussed recently at a conference held in Ocala, under the auspices of the State Negro Workers' Advisory committee, the chairman of which is President N. B. Young of the A. & M. College for Negroes. PLEASANTON, KAN. Mrs. Alice Dabbs of La Cygne was in this city Sunday. Mr. Walter Graham of Mound City returned from Kansas City Sunday.

Work is being done with greater effort in order to make up for some of the lost time. On the 8th inst. the Lincoln School new building caught fire from an over heated furnace. The small blaze was soon extinguished by the fire department's chemical apparatus. Very little damage was done, but people came flocking, fearing they would see what they saw a year ago, when modern four year old building burned. Arrangements were made with the Principal for the Booker Washington unit of the Red Cross to meet in the sewing room of the Lincoln School. Many of the ladies were taking a great deal of interest in the work, and now since the flu ban has been raised it is hoped that the work will continue. Rev. Chas, King of Kansas City is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack King. Mrs. B. C. Ross has returned from Kansas City, Mo., with her nephew, Geo. Patterson Jr., who was critically ill with the flu. He expects to return to the Kansas City High School as soon as the ban is lifted.

Mrs. Blanche Mitchell Cortez died of the flu November 8. She leaves a husband, three children, parents, brothers and sisters. She was ill five days. Mr. Will Edmond, who for many years had been porter on the Frisco, was adjudged insane and sent to the Nevada, Mo., asylum. His son Will was discharged from the camp on account of bad eyes. 10. 20 "A DREAM" Last night, as I lay sleeping, I had a wonderful dream: I saw the Colored Soldiers Returning from over the sea. The smiles they wore were broader; They spoke in a manly way; They said: "We've brought back day- light, Which blood alone can pay." They said segregation was over, We would live in a different age, That records of this war were written, We would read them page by page. They spoke of battles fought bravely And victories loyally won. How they fought in muddy trenches, Sometimes from sun to sun. They brought back many messages Of soldiers good and true, Who died on the firing line smiling For the Red, White, and Blue. Tell Mother, I know she's waiting. But her boy will not be home; He died on the battlefield bravely, But did not die alone. The father thro feeble trembled. The mother, God bless her, prayed. To think, in a lonely graveyard In France, her only son laid. In 1974, - By Mrs. Luce Snoddy Davis, Independence, Kansas. CHETOPA, KAN. Mrs. A. H.

While men stand uncovered while the flag goes by, women, heretofore, have had no form of recognition for the flag. The following form is now being taught by the army and navy and the schools, and all women are urged to unite in adopting it: At the approach of the flag, raise the right hand smartly, till the tip of the forefinger touches the lower part of the head dress above the right eye, thumb and fingers extended and joined, palm to the left, forearm inclined at about forty-five degrees, hand and wrist straight. At the same time look toward the flag. When it has passed, drop the arm smartly to the side. Mrs. C. C.

Ferguson of Milwaukee, Winters and Bryson of this city, took part in the services. Bishop Carter is a great missionary and is planting his church throughout the North and East. VIAN, OKLA. Mrs. Octava Davis was called to Redland, Okla., one day last week to the hedge of her sick sister the Mrs. Francis Daniels is reported on the sick list this week with the flu. A good many of our boys are preparing to leave in short for the training camp; from there overseas to get the Kaiser. There never was a time in the history of my life, when God's ministers had to come down off the walls and stop preaching to the public. Some locked their church doors, no doubt, with tears in their eyes, not only from wanting to preach, but from wanting oil in their cruse and meal in their barrels. Rev. S. L. Wilson departed this life on the second of this month. The Baptist church has lost one of its great workers as a minister, a loving and devoted husband, a Christian gentleman, a lover of his race. The deceased was pastoring two churches, one here, Mt Zion, and the other at Thelaquah, Okla., and was the vice president of the Sunday School Convention, elective board member of Collate District Association and belonged to two orders at his death, Sir Knight and the U. B. F. These two orders gave him the largest funeral procession that we have ever seen in this country. It was a record breaker. Rev. Wm. Elliott officiated and smoke at length upon the life of Rev. S. L. Wilson, after which a fervent prayer was offered by Deacon Thomas H. Turner. The remains of the deceased were placed in Mabelle cemetery by the two above named orders. The deceased leaves a mother, father, one sister, five brothers, and a loving wife, six children, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. There is a strong undercurrent of fear that the malefactors are yielding too here in our great state of Oklahoma. Some of our people are afraid to join anything even for their own self-protection. As Chancellor Max some time ago sent out the dove of peace, I think it behooves us to blend our forces together as a race and send out the dove of self-protection, that she may hastily return with good news and glad tidings. In sending this dove out with a commission to go into every state in the Union, even in the state capitals, and get Jim Crowism, Kaiserism, mob violence, segregation, in fact everything which tends to deprive a man of his rights to live as a free man, we claim the right of every free born citizen of our great republic to have the law to take its course, regardless of accident of birth, color, or previous condition of servitude. We are distinctly proud to be citizens of the United States of America, proud to give our husbands, sons, and various relations to the grand cause of universal freedom, proud to know that the black man's bloom mingles with that of the sons of other races overflowing upon the soil of France, shed, we hope, for the establishment of a pure democracy that will not deny her black brother the right of going to the polls and voting his own free sentiment like they are here in the great state of Oklahoma—nothing but high treason, manufactured and backed up by our state capital. We are proud to do our bit toward the ending of the great war, which will emancipate the world, even Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana. We don't ask for social equality, but we do ask that we be given a chance to prove ourselves loyal, energetic, and sincere to the core.

Hon. Nick Chiles, Editor, Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kun. My Dear Friend Chiles: I thought it would be of interest to you as well as myself to write you a line relative to the progress of our people in my home town (Fulton, Mo.) My wife and I arrived in the city of Fulton October 8th, and to my surprise the old town had grown to be quite a city, so much improvement having been made since I was there on a visit seventeen years ago I could scarcely believe that it was the same old place. Modern buildings, homes, adn macadamed streets give the town the air of a modern city. My old friend and school mate, Mr. Arthur Young, has a restaurant that does a thriving business on Saturdays and Stock Sale Days. The Bell Brothers are still in the barbering business and are very much in need of barbers, as they have more work than they can do. They have a four chair shop and only three barbers working. Here a young man can find a splendid place to make and save some money. Mr. McDonald, another Negro, owns and operates a barber shop for white people. He runs three chairs and could use another barber. My old friend Mr. Edward Bivens works for him. Mr. David Gipson and my brother C. E. Wilson own the only barber shop for negroes in the city, and they have all they can do, although many of their customers have been caught in the draft and are helping chase the Kaiser to his den. Nearly all the negroes own their homes. The Fulton Clay Manufacturing Company is the one big industry that employs negroes. They are working on government contracts and paying the men well for their labor. The men make from three to seven dollars in about six hours work. Nearly all the work is piece work. Our visit was one of continued pleasure. We were on the go the whole time we were there and, in fact, had to cancel some of our engagements in order to be with my folks part of the ten days' visit. We met our friend in the person of Rev. Doctor Bowren, formerly the pastor of the Christian Church in Kansas City and now the pastor of the Christian Church of Fulton. He is also Principal of the Bible School there. Space and time will not permit me to give the names of all of my old friends and their business; suffice it to say that the Negroes are doing well in Fulton, and I believe a good lively agent there could work up a good circulation for the Plaindealer, because the Fulton people admire a man who will edit a paper and tell the truth, even if it takes off some of the hide. P. S. Doctor Sexton, the only Negro physician, has a splendid practice. DIRECTORY REV, SIR FRANK WILSON, C. G. M.—1114 Buchanan, Topeka, Kan. SIR A. W. HOPKINS, C. C.
