PASS JIM CROW LAW AS REWARD FOR THE COLORED MAN'S LOYALTY Galena White Man Wants Plaindealer to Betray the Race---School Question Will Come up Again. can has helped to make this country and is entitled to all the rights and benefits that you or your kind enjoy. From the tone of your letter, you are coming here to the legislature to enact some law against the colored people attending the public schools and other public places for which they are taxed to maintain, and the colored people are subject to the same laws that govern you, yet you want separate schools for them, in fact, I suppose you would be in favor of separate cars, separate dining rooms, and separate stores; but there is one place if you keep up your status there will be no separation there, and that is where we have good reason to believe Ben Tollman now is, and you are advocating his doctrine. There will be no segregation there, but we have an idea that when you arrive the first thing you will wish to do will be to put such laws into effect. We cannot see how the people of that district elected you to the legislature. You either misrepresented yourself, or you made no speeches. Oh! I have it—the flu ban was on against campaigning, therefore you had no speeches and thereby fooled the people. Had they heard you, you would never have been elected. Kansas lawyers of brain and energy are busy making money, and usually that class of men come to the legislature at an expense and loss to themselves, but they sacrifice and come that they may help enact laws for the benefit of all the people, irrespective of races. I wish you would get in touch with such men as Congreasman Phil Campbell, who is now in Washington, and ask him what he thinks of you offering such a measure as you say you are planning, and he will be ashamed of you. You might write any United States senator or representative from Kansas, and they would all be of the opinion that you were a fit subject for the grad house. Now let me say to you, Mr. Stranger. I do not believe that you were born and reared in Kansas, but you must be an interlayer, and the only way you think that you can get before the public is to stunt something on the defenses colored American. Such an issue as you intend to work on is not out stuff, because the better class of white people over the country have awakened to their sense of duty and are now talking on all sides, except in the South where you belong, that the colored man must have his rights, and that he is entitled to all the privileges granted any other citizen, for by his acts in the war last ended he has proven his devotion to the American Flag, and as a lighter on the Lattickhe he had no superior. All black laws that have been enacted and appear on the statute books of any state are unconstitutional and have only been upheld because the white men sitting in judgment were duty bound to declare the right to please a certain class like yourself. The judges of the courts have now become aroused to a conscientiousness of uprightness and Christianity and have begun to see the error of their decisions and will decide that all laws enacted against colored Americans are class legislation and unconstitutional. Allow me to say further, Mr. Big Representative of the 23d District and Attor gant Law of Galena, Kansas, that Governor Allen, Lieut. Governor Duffman, and the members of the state and lieu of Representatives are atlanta such measure as you plan to make a bill in the next legislature segregating the public schools in this state, and be are also against the laws that are already on the statute books. The Gover or has just returned from France, where he saw the colored soldier under fire and has written several articles concerning their deportment in France. Governor Allen says they were received in the public place or equality with the white man and that he was proud to know that they were received so cordially by the French, so you need not expect him to sign such a bill. As a rule that class of white men that introduce segregated laws and Jim Crow measures are themselves relatives of colored people and they think it is a tute task to do such a thing, for they feel it is a distance to have colored blood in their lives, yet two kids of the colored people of this country are mixed with white blood, and we have no doubt that if you would search your family record you will find that you have a mixture of colored blood. It is the southern white man who pays for these laws, and it is who so thoroughly missed the race, and he is now trying to get away from the kindred. We believe if you would study the situation thoroughly, you will change your laws and decide not to offer this bill. The Kansas Defense Society, of which I am president, and which represents the progressive colored people Galena, Kan., Dec. 11, 1918. Mr. Niek Chiles, Topeka, Kan. Dear Sir:—I am t. e. representative elect and a republican from this legislative district, and while I am not acquainted with you, I take the liberty to write you on a matter of the utmost importance to you and the people of Kansas in general. You have considerable influence with the colored people of this state, and I compiment you on being a man with brains. As you know, there is going to be a bill introduced in the coming legislature to separate the blacks and whites in school in cities of the second class. There is a strong move on foot in the matter, and it is pretty sure to pass. Hon. O. W. Sparks of this city was elected to the state Senate from this district, and he will be for it first and last. Now the big controversy seems to be in this city, and you know as well as I do that if you get the legislature once started, it is liable to pass a "Jim Crow" law, and I would hate to see that done. I believe I see the handwriting on the wall, and I suggest that you get busy and notify the colored people here that you are coming down to talk to them on Important business, and come down within the next ten days and have a meeting with them and see if some kind of an agreement can be reached between the matter. I would not let them know what your business was until you arrived and assembled them together, as it will retard the attendance. I fear you get here on a separation, and they have not been ill in the matter. I simply warn you as a friend, and trust you will consider this letter in such light. There is no use to turn a deaf ear or to get bull-headed, because that never gets a man anywhere. Reason will accomplish more than force. If you can succeed in getting the colored people to some kind of an agreement down here, in my opinion, it will be the best thing you ever done for humanity's sake. You have to meet the issue squarely in the face, and there is no use to try to dodge the matter. The bill has been drawn, and unless the people are satisfied down here it will be introduced early in the session. They are bringing too much pressure to bear in the matter for me simply to sit still and not give you a chance to get in the clear. Anything I can do for you in the matter I will be glad to render. I am writing Rev. Kansom likewise, and if you come down here, be sure and call on me early. Hoping to hear from you by return mail, and trusting that you will give this your prompt attention, and extending the Season's greetings to you. I am, Very truly yours, OSCAR M. YOUNT, Attorney and Rep. 23d Dist. Reply to Mr. Yaunt December 14, 1918. Mr. Oscar M. Yount, Atty. Representative 23d District, Galena, Kan. My dear Mr. Yount: Your letter of the 11th inst. received, and in reply will say after reading it carefully and then noting your position as an attorney-at-law and recently elected from the 23d Republican District to the next legislature, which convenes in 1919, I be confused, for I did not think Ossas had within her confines an attorney who attended the schools of Kansas and was taught to love and respect the rights of others, so foolish or so simple as to write or attempt to defend segregated laws within this state. My advice to you is, that you resign your office at once, for this letter shows that you are incompetent and not capable of representing the sentiment of Kansas, nor are you up with what the United States did in the last two years which ended in France November 11, 1918. In this great conflict there were colored soldiers who fought side by side with white brothers that all races should have an abiding place where all should be free. There are hundreds of instances during this war where colored troops single-handed captured hundreds of Germans and put them to flight, feeling that doing there would be no reptiles like yourself left in these United States to oppose them in enjoying all the rights and freedom for which they fought and the people they fought against. You are perfectly willing to come here to legislate that the Hun and his family might attend the public schools along with the Merican Italian, Chimman, Indian, and all other nationalities except the colored American who gave his life in "No Man's Land"—Somewhere in France. If you have studied history, you of Kansas, has always and will forever fight such measures as you speak of. You bet we have considerable influence with the colored people not only of Kansas, but of the entire United States, and they have the utmost confidence in the editor of the Topeka Plaindealer standing up for their rights. There is nothing that you could do or say that would away us from our duty of doing the right thing by our race. Consult your brother O. W. Sparks, and he can tell you what hard sledding he had trying to pass this bill, and I hope you will reconsider and not come here to the legislature and make of yourself what Christ rode into Jerusalem.

BURIAL OF A COLORED SOLDIER AT SEA Washington, D. C., December 4.—Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, who recently went to France under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., has just sent Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant War Department, the following account of the burial of a colored soldier at sea: A colored soldier was buried at sea today. The flags on all the ships of the fleet have been at half-mast all day. It matters not that the soldier came from a lowly cabin. It matters not that his skin is black. He is a soldier in the army of the United States and he was on his way to fight for Democracy and Civilization. The announcement of his death was signalled to every commander and every ship prepared to do honor to the colored soldier. As the sun was setting in the West, the guard of honor including all the officers from the commander to the private came to attention. The body of the Negro trooper wrapped in the American flag, was tenderly carried to the stern of the ship. The chaplain read the solemn burial service. The engines of the fleet were checked. The troop ship was stopped for the only time in the long trip from America to Europe. The bugle sounded taps, and the body of the American soldier was committed to the great ocean and to God. The comradeship of the solemn occasion was the comradeship of real Democracy. There was neither black nor white, North nor South, rich nor poor. All united in rendering honor to the Negro soldier who died in the service of humanity. 92D DIVISION MAKES PROUD RECORD IN FRANCE Gallant Colored Fighting Machine Wing Plaudits for Successful Raids Against Germans in "No Man's Land"-Capably Led by Colored Commanders. Representative of the Committee on Public Information. Somewhere in France—The colored people back in America can well feel proud of the record made by the 92nd Division over here, which has about 600 colored line officers, and whose rank and file is composed exclusively of colored soldiers. Here is the record of the 92nd as a combatant regiment up to November 8th, 1918. When the Marbach sector was taken over by the 92nd Division of "Black Devils," as the Germans call them, "No Man's Land" was owned by the Germans, and here they were aggressively on the offensive. They, the Germans, held Bolie Farm, Bois de Tete d'Or, Bois de Fiehaut, Vouvrotte Farm, Vouvrotte Woods, Bois de Cheminet, and Moulon Brook. The constantly aggressive action of patrols, day and night, from the 92nd has resulted in many casualties to the Germans, and the capture of many prisoners. Each of the places named above has been raided, as has also Eply, and patrols from the Division have penetrated north nearly to the east and west line through Pagny. The Germans have been driven north beyond Frechaut and Vourotte to Chemiot bridge and in his desperation the Hun is attempting to destroy the Selle bridge, after having flooded the Selle, proving conclusively that he regain the black troops that compose the 123rd Division as one he can not successfully withstand West of the Selle river excellent results have followed the energetic offensive action of this doughty wing of the Allied army, the Germans losing heavily in killed and wounded and prisoners. In nearly every instance those raids made by troopers of this Division have been made under the command of colored line officers. The record made by the colored soldiers must, of necessity, are the most enthusiastic in the Stats and merit the plaudits of the race for the cavallet fighting machine. So wonderful have been the achievements of the test that the Division commander was impelled to send out a balloon of congratulation to be read before each unit of the Division. This proud record must forever set at rest the question of colored soldiers following and fighting under their own officers, and it must forever establish the efficiency of colored officers, who have done splendently under the most trying circumstances. PLAINEALER PRINTER WRITES FROM FRANCE Fred F. Thompson, Linotype Operator, Longs to Be at Home But Likes That Country. Co. "C" 325th Signal Battalion A. P. O. 756. October 22, 1918. Mt. Ira Smith, 1159 Kanaas Avenue, 1 Hello old Scout, why don't you ever write you so often that I think after this I will not write you any more. Is it that you are married or getting ready to be married, that you have not the time to write a pal? Well anyhow, such is life when one leaves another for any length of time. I received an letter from the "Bip Mule" the other day, and he says you are getting so fat you can hardly walk. How about that? I guess that Uncle Sam will have to draft you in the army and send you over here immediately, so that we can drill you and get some of that surplus fat off of you. Say, old Sport, I am having the time of my life here. There is not much that a fellow wants for unless it is for the war to end and a safe return home. When not at the front, we are enunciated in numerous ways. Y. M. C. A. for reading and passing the time away with comrades that you have not seen in months, and also to swap yarns of the front. And when we are with the French people we find as amuble the people as one can come on this side of the globe. The men are very friendly, and the women as sociable as man could desire. Life over here is not as bad as one would have it pictured. Although the Germans are continually bombing and shelling things to pieces, it is no more than one could expect of war. War, as we all know, is "—". It is shown here in many a French village where the Hun has pillaged, desecrated, and done all manner of things that a civilized nation of people could hardly think about. It is sickening, but then the blood of a man comes to the surface, and the Hun has felt some of a black man's hatred. The boys of the 92d Division in a recent great drive went over the top with the battle cry of freedom ringing from their mouths that started the Hun on the retreat, and any man that would have seen the spirit that our brave boys went over with could not help but admire the courage of this great movement. It will test the courage and bravery of every man that goes over the top to grapple with the Hun, but our boys have never faltered. The boom and rear of cannon has come to be music to my cats. Every night he make until the bursting of shells and the boom of cannon has killed me to peaceful slumber. One never forgets the sound of bursting sharp or the exploding of the bombs. Say, Ground Hog. I suppose you have everything your own way now, all of the chickens. Well, after the war is over, you had better look, out for me, because I am coming home ready for all of the "chickens". Say, old Sport. I think that you had better learn the French language, for I am speaking nothing over here but French These French Mademoiselles are sure good teachers. I have a little piece of poetry that I composed one day during a fall at the front. I want you to read it, and if it is worth the time and space, give it a few inches in your paper. Tell Nick that his cousin, or nephew, whichever it is, is desirous of reading one of his papers. His name is Benjamin F. Chiles, of Evanston, Illinois. Give my regards to all of the boys, and tell them that Clarence Beck, formerly of the Beek Brothers Grocery Store, is doing well as Top Sergeant, and sends love to all of the boys. SHADOWS OF REMEMBRANCES We met in the cold, dark trenches. While the bombs around us glared, That roared like peals of thunder. And we knew that the dead were there. Then we stood our rifles ready, As the Captain gave the command: "Over the top, boys, but steady, Each soldier got you a man!" Now the shadows of evening darken And the sun has just gone down Over the graves of the vanquished And the heroes of the Marne But we walk by our 'Captain theory', And we sing by the cunnions' song One hymn to the dead already; God bless the next that goes! Now where won't work is cold, And home and the homes come Some will be watching and waiting For those whose work is done But when they greet their load ones, While dredging with their contai- place. "They'd like to the door of Vietnam. Who fell that right may survive." Tell all of the boys hello. Also tell them that I am getting along all right. When you see my father, tell him not to worry about me for I am getting along. I see with little "triteze" With best wishes, as ever. SGT FRED F TROMPSON Co. "C" 325th Field Signal Battalion BETHEL, KAN. Mrs. Isaac Locke of Kansas City has been the guest of Mrs. Geo Porter. A great deal of sickness prevails in our community at present, occasioned by a fresh outbreak of the influenza. Mr. Jno. R. C. Porter has been making some additions to his residence in the way of another room, porches, etc. We are glad to see our people making improvements. Mr. Al Rodgers has just finished building a garage on his premises. Mrs. Jane Robinson passed quietly from this life to the great beyond at ten o'clock Sunday morning, following a long illness which extended through five years. Mrs. Robinson was 44 years of age and was born in Leavenworth. The funeral was held from the First A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Friday afternoon. The obsequy was read by Rev. Griffin, pastor of the church. The funeral was conducted by the Nathan W. Thatcher Undertaking Company. Mrs. Robinson is survived by her husband, W. A. Robinson, of the Pullman service; Mr. Tolliver Thompson, the father; Mrs. Pernina Thompson, the stepmother; and two sisters, Mrs. Richard Palmer of Lonsworth, and Mrs. Frances Nelson of Vinta, Okla. The first quarterly meeting of the new conference year was held at Zion's Chapel A. M. E. church Sunday.

Mr. Artice Vaughn has returned home after spending about two months in training camp, Camp Dodge Iowa. We chanced to drop into Mitchell's barber shop last Saturday. Oh, how them boys were making the hair fly! For fashion cuts try the old reliable Mr. Tom Turner. Mr. George Porter is preparing to put in a clothes cleaning and pressing shop in the rear of the Mitchell barber shop. I say, if Judge Porter can deliver the goods, let's patronize him instead of going up to that white shop. Keep the money in the family! What is your attitude toward the Negro's responsibilities after the reconstruction? His only hope for ages to come is around the peace table. At the last election the republican party like to throw the democrats' machine out of gear by electing a majority of a small margin in both houses, which puts the republican party on probation for the next two years, and if they can only make good in this reconstruction period and live in a pure atmosphere for the next two years, the probabilities are the republican party might elect a president. The thing of it is to be a true apostle of democracy, regardless of race or color. The blood that was shed upon the battlefield by the Negro is just as precious as that shed by any other race, so why not give him an equal show with other races? He is Jim Crowed and charged first class railroad fair with third class accommodations. In lots of places our waiting rooms are not large enough to whip a cat and are unsanitary. Enough said. Mr. Paul Britt of Redland, Okla, is a pleasant visitor and guest of Mr. O. D. Alexander. Rev. W. J. L. Jones of Bragga, Ohio preached an able sermon at Mount Olive Baptist church last Sunday.

Corporal Brinker was off on a ten days' furough. He visited Lincoln school, where he graduated with the class of 1914. His talk of camp life for thirty minutes was very instructive. The organizing of the Kansas Defense Society is a step in the right direction which has long been needed to be made. President Chiles should have the support of all thinkers and workers for the welfare of the race. When the flu ban shall have been lifted and the Negroes here get together, support will be forthcoming. Mrs. H. V.

The extent to which death starvation and the ruthless destruc tion of property have stalked abroad in those stricken countries is daily be: coming more painfully apparent. Among all the millions who have suffered at the hands of the oppressor none! have: been. more! ‘sorely. betes than the Jews. They have been driv- en to starvation, have been denied sufficient clothing and have been Rround between the upper and the nether muill-stone by friend and foe alike. The Jew has contributed in a most substantial way to the prosper- ity and advancement of all nations of the carth, and no race has been Inore patriotic, more hberty-loving. lie has fought under the flax of every nation in the name of liberty and justice for mankind.

Just one year ago today, my dear, One year ago today, One year ago today, Since the Angel came with beckoning call, And took you away. We miss her—oh, how we miss her! But God knows which is the best. It pleased Him to come and take her To a land of heavenly rest. 'Twas on the fifth day of December, ore year ago today, the Angel of Death claimed our dearest and caring mother and took her to peaceful glory where the sanctified are mating and the Holy Promise stands. God took her away and translated the little form in a heavenly form. Her beauty is the beauty of holiness. Her clothing is of wrought gold. Great was the rejoicing in heaven at her abundant entrance into the King's Palace. Our dear mother is gone but not forgotten. Never will her memory fail. Sweetest thoughts will ever linger. Around the grave, where she is laid. 'Twas said to part from our beloved one.— Brought to our hear dial. We loved her; yes, we loved her. But the angels loved her more. So they came and took her ing shore. Where the angels wait to join us. Where parting will be no more. Bride of the Lamb, thy charms Oh may we share!

There are several cases of influenza and pneumonia. The schools and churches of Bunceton have been closed for a month on account of the influenza.

You are travelling all over the country and have thousands of choice herds from which to pick and choose. But in the purchase of these pigs from him it proves very notably at least two things: That you are every bit, bone and sinew, from crown to sole, a race man, and that you are especially interested in the future welfare of the race by this help and encouragement to a young man who is striving in this way to help himself while continuing his advanced studies Most respectfully, ANDREW A.
