Deat Brother; Just a few lines to let you know that I am well and enjoying good health. Have been in France since the 25th of Sept. and must say that my experiences have been many. I never had the opportunity to do any real fighting as our regiment was in the reserve. On the 11th day of November when all firing ceased I was at Ponton Masson on the Worcestershire and it was really pathetic to see those "Boshes" come out of their trenches and retire to the rear. This Issue Marks the T The following letter from the Commercial Club at Galena, Kansas, speaks for itself. This letter was bunt out to the members of the Legislature along with a copy of the bill to be introduced. Letter and Bill Dear Sir:—At the meeting of the Next Legislature, which convenes at Topeka January 14th, there will be a bill introduced to amend the law giving cities of the first class the right to aggregate the white and black children in the public schools by giving cities of the second class the same privilege. This will not be compulsory on any city but gives the school board the right to do so where they deem it best. We find the present law very detrimental to our city. People will not move here and buy or build homes because they do not wish to send their children to school with the Negroes. And this present law is detrimental, no doubt, to the entire State, at least wherever this condition exists. Some few school boards in cities of the second class have forced the Negroes into separate schools. This is, however, contrary to law, and they lay themselves liable to prosecution. There is no doubt but what the Negroes are better off where they are in separate schools. To verify this statement we call your attention to lies where they are separated. Now what we desire to ask you to do is this: Pass a resolution at your next meeting endorsing this movement and write your senator and representative at once, urging them to support this bill which will be introduced. We call attention to the enclosed correspondence between Representative O. M. Yount of this, Cherokee, county, and Nick Childs, a mulatto, who is editor of the Plaininderer, a paper published at Topeka. From the letter of Childs it will be seen that heumes to be leader of the colored tribe of Kansas, but we cannot believe the sentiment he expresses is approved by the better class of the colored people. colored people. If it is true that any considerable number of the colored people endorse much intemperate ideas as he expresses, then it is a very powerful reason calling for the enactment of the proposed amendment, giving cities of the second class the right to segregate children in the school's. We call special attention to the contents of the letter-head on the paper used by Mt. Childs in writing his letter. Kindly advise us at once if you will end your support to this important proposition. Yours very truly. GALENA COMMERCIAL CLUB By B. G. Worthington, Secretary.

Don't forget the 24th Infantry soldiers of the Houston riot, whose case is now pending in the United States court. We have no hesitancy in saying that we are going to make the proper showing, and we believe that we will accomplish our aim in liberating them. This society intends to cite cases that are illegally on the statute books and upheld by the courts who are not courageous enough to decide in favor of law and facts. Their decisions are predicated upon the wishes and whims of a small majority of whites who do not believe that a colored man is a human being. This society has already brought several complaints before the war department concerning the woeful mistreatment of our soldiers, also the case of Captain Lutson, who was confined to quarters because he was sent to take the place of a white officer at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. The matter was investigated by the war department, and Captain was exonerated. We have not yet heard what punishment was given the white officer for his unmanly act. It is the duty of every colored American to get busy and show every white man they meet that they are as much of an American citizen as the Indian, Mexican, or any other foreigner, and demand that they recognize them as such. Any club or society desiring to have us meet them concerning this organization, we shall be glad to do so. Send all money orders to Nick Chiles, Pres. Kansas Defense Society, and Editor Topeka Plaindealer. NICK CHILES, Pres. Kansas Defense Society and Editor Topeka Plaindealer. The following letter has been sent to Governor Allen: Doc. 14, 1918. Mr. Henry Allen. Governor Elect, Wichita, Kans. My dear Governor Elect: We are in receipt of a letter from one Oscar M. Yount, attorney-at-law and recently elected representative from the 23d district of Kansas, and who resides at Galena. He notified us that he was coming to the legislature and would offer a bill asking for separate schools in cities of the second class. We informed him that such was not the spirit of the better class of white people nor of the colored people of Kansas and certainly was against the principles of the newly elected governor who has just returned from France, where he noted the bravery and fidelity of the colored soldiers on the battlefield, who were not only fighting for democracy, but that they might enjoy liberty and equal rights in this our own land with other nations. We have therefore informed him that he would be losing time coming to the legislature of this great state to join hands with Tillman and Vardaman over the spirit of John Brown. Hope this finds you well and enjoying health. Very truly yours. NICK CHILES, President Kansas Defense Society and Editor The Topeka Plaindealer. From Soldier Boys. Beaumont Meurthe, France Headquarters Co. 804th Inf. December 4, 1918 Here is quite a coincident: It was the 11th day, 11th month and at 11 00 o'clock in the morning when pristine was signed. I am still living in a dugout, and expecting to be ordered to the states at any time. The 92d Division did some great TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 3, 1919 work over here. The Germans speak of them as "Bears" and these Southern Crackers tell the French people that we are American bears, but thank God there is no color line among them. No wonder Jack Johnson stayed over here. I have learned to speak pretty good French, and I find out from coming in contact with the better class that the Negro is welcome. The male population of this country is almost extinct, nothing but real old men and young boys are left. It wouldn't be a bad idea if some of our boys would come over here and start in business. I suppose I will be mustered out as soon as I get to the states and will stop over in Topeka for a couple of days on my way to Colorado Springs to see my wife and sisters. I just received a letter from my wife and she sent me Thelma's picture, and I was surprised to see how she had grown. Give my regards to the office staff, and tell Ira Smith that he just did escape—the surrender of Germany saved him from the firing line. Don't answer as I am expecting to leave at any time. Love to Arnicholas and husband. Good bye. TO THE OWNER PRALEAU (BUDDIE) SMITH, First Sergei Hidr's Co. 804th Inf. Coming Home Better Men. Montoir, France, Dec. 11, 1918. MONTREAL DAY 10, 1960 Iddrr's. 509th Engineers. Mr. Nick Chiles, Pres. K. D. S. Touchn. Kangas, U. S. A. Dear Sir: I am writing to let you know I enjoyed reading a quotation from your paper in The Indianapolis Freeman, concerning the race. You are doing wonderful work for us while we are over here in No Man's Land. The we as American Colored soldiers are trying every day to do something for an example to aid us as a race in the future, and as we are expecting to return home better men than when we left, we as American citizens have come to this conclusion, that is to treat all men as we wish to be treated. I believe Mr. Chiles that our people have been aroused from their many years of unthoughtful slumber to the present sense of duty, and as you have stated in the Freeman, that the unjust things being heaped upon the race every day in the South should be adjusted. I am forced to admit that there are things we read in the papers that make our hearts cry within us. When we think of the way that poor woman, who was about to become a mother was murdered at the hands of a mob. I wonder what is to become of us and if there is no relief. I humbly trust the day will come when our race will be recognized as citizens of the U.S., and when we find one who is a traitor, handle that individual without mercy, but according to law, and I am willing to do all in my power to unhold right and justice. I feel Mr. Chiles that you have taken a great step and those that are men among us are willing to aid you in every respect. I know this much that if we never put forth an effort to help obtain our rights, we will be unjustly treated as long as we are a race So I trust that your organization will meet with success in whatever they undertake to do for the race. I also hope to receive a copy of your paper occasionally. I am respectfully, A Soldier in France. PVT. WILL KNOX. Wants to Locate Relatives. Lacroix France, Dec. 5, 1918. Hldr's.

This office was grieved Monday when a message was received from Miss Edna Greene, assistant business manager of The Plaindealer, saying that her beloved mother, Mrs. Sarah Greene, had passed away that morning. She had been alling for several years, but no one dreamed her allment was so serious until she took to her bed a few days before she was called to a higher life. Mrs. Greene was a model woman—devoted Christian, and an indulgent mother. "Love his neighbor as thy self," was her motto and by so living and doing, she won the admiration and respect of the citizens of both races, and the community that has known and loved her since a more child mourns for her. Mrs. Greene was born in Kentucky, but was brought to Kansas when a child. Her folks settled in Hiawatha, Brown county, where she was reared and educated and gave to the community a family that is a credit to the state and her noble Christian character. Deceased was the wife of Mr. H. C. Greene, a highly respected and entertaining gentleman, who with nine children survive her. They are: Mayne, Idna, Herold, Rachael, Ellen, Henry, Jr., Marguerite, Georgia and Emily Jane, aged four years Obiturary Sarah Walthal, daughter of George Walthal, and Ellen Walthal, deceased, was born near Berkshire, Cumberland County, Kentucky, November 1, 1873 and departed this life Monday morning at 9 o'clock, December 30, 1918 at the age of 45 years, one month and twenty-nine days. In the fall of 1879 she removed to Kansas with her parents, settling in Illinois where on October 12, 1892, she was married to Henry C. Greene. To this union were born ten children, one dying in infancy. She professed a hope in Christ, was baptized and united with the second Baptist church during the pastorate of Rev. Rhodes and for over eighteen years lived a consistent Christian, ever striving to rear her family to fear and love God. All during the many months of suffering, she leased on the arms of her Saviour, making little complaint and assuring her children that all was well with her soul. On the morning of her passing she called the children to her bedside and told them she was about to go to Heaven and asked them to meet her there. She was fully resigned to her fate and pressed no fear but simply slept away in the arms of Jesus. She was a loving wife, kind careful and good mother, living wholly for her family, putting self in the background at all times. Besides her husband and children she leaves a father, stepmother, one sister and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her passing. friends to him. There is little doubt but that she viewed her solitude here as is expressed in the following: Life! I know not what thou art. But know that thou and I must part; And when or how or where we meet I own to me's a secret pet. Life! We've been long together Through pleasant and through cloudy weather 'Tis hard to part when friends pro- dear. Perhaps 'twil cost a sigh, a tear, Then steal away, give little warning.

FORM STATE LEAGUE Tulsa Mass Convention Developes into Much Needed Unity of Leadership Nick Chiles Delivers Stirring Message The much heralded state wide mass convention of the NEGROES of Oklahoma convened in the city of Tulsa Monday December 23. The sessions were held in the Dreamland Theatre, and a very representative body of men were presided at from all sections of the state. The meeting was called to order by Hon E. T. Harbour of El Reno and a temporary organization immediately offered thru the selection of Judge E. I. Saddler of Tulsa as chief man and Dr. A. R. Coffey of Wevola as secretary. The temporary organization was made permanent. Hon. Nick Chiles of the Topopea Phaladaler Topopea, Kaurus, and Editor Ressie Journe of the Blah Dopatch who were raised in police, the convention at the morning session of Editor Chiles, who is styled by the end of the rate "Nick the Fighter," made one of his able and characteristicresses "The truth is" shouted Editor Chiles at one time during his address, "the white man in the south land is in actuality denying his flesh and blood. This is no time for us to make speeches to ourselves, but we must all get busy and tell the better element of white men, who have at last awakened to their sense of duty, how we feel about things." Editor Chiles said it only took him four minutes to tell the Secretary of War all about the mistreatment of the colored troops, and he created much laughter when he very plaintively said he felt it very unfair on the part of a large number of white southerners, who tried to stop his journal's mail privilege because he had editorially described the hot place to which the late Senator Ben Tillman had gone. "Oh, for a man like the immortal Frederick Douglass, who would stand in the forum today and demand with his wonderful power and personality our every right!" Editor Dunjee confined his remarks to a plea for unity between the NEGROES of the cast side and the west in their stand for liberty and justice. The Committee on Resolutions, whose names were E. D. Jefferson, Muskogee, E. E. McDonnell, McAlester, D. J. Wallace, Okmulgce, W. A. Rentie, Muskogee, E. T. Barbour, El Reno, E. J. Howard, Tulsa, brought forward some stirring resolutions that were unanimously adopted, and action was later taken to prepare a permanent and substantial program to vitaize into life their spirit and intent. The resolutions proposed a determined opposition to the division of the school fund, separate concord law, lynching, the State's policy in the appointment of white guardians for rich Negro children. The committee on permanent organization, composed of J. H. Stephens, of Okmulgee, R. L. Fortune, Chickensha, Dr. W. H. Simms, Muskogee, S. L. James, Sapulpa, W. H. Peters, Beley, and E. A. Loupe, Tulsa, suggested the name of "Union League of Freedom and Justice." The name was adopted as the official title of the organization. A committee composed of W. H. Hughes, N. A. Bean, E. E. McDowell, Roscoe Dunjee, and Fredrick Lawson were selected by the chair to present a list of officers for the new organization. They reported the names of E. I Saddler, Tulsa, Pres; D. W. H. Simms, Muskogee, Vice-Pres.; Judge Robert L. Fortune, Chickensha, Sec; H. Wilson, Taft, Treasurer; E. T. Barbour, El Repo, General Attorney; J. H. Stephens, Okmulgee, Auditor; H. T. Hutton, Sapulpa, State Organizer. The convention unanimously adopted the report of the committee. A legislative committee was appointed; their names follow: Roscoe Dunjee, Oklahoma City; Jacob J. Jones, Muskogee, Congressional committee; R. Ermett Stewart, Muskogee; J. Coy Johnson, Wewoka. Publicity committee: A. J. Smitherman, Tulsa Star; Roscoe Dunjee, Black Depatch; W. H. Twine, Muskogee Comter; S. J. Twine, Buntist Informer. The question of the Negro woman's vote was quite lengthily discussed during the closing hours of the session by Hon. R. Ermett Stewart of Muskogee, who made a deep impression on all who heard him. The convention adjourned to meet again at the call of the president, who stated that there would be a meeting of the executive board during the second week in January. The names of the delegates in attendance follow; E. I. Suddler, Tulsa; J. Coody Johnson, Wewoka; Edward Jefferson, Muskogee; Nick Chiles, Topica; W. H.

Kansas City Mo. At Allen Chapel Sunday morning, Hon Nelson C. Crews introduced Mr. and Mrs. H Malone, of St Louis, to the congregation Mrs. Malone made a short talk in which she thanked the public for the confidence they had placed in Poro College, and what they were doing for the upbuilding of the race. Her niece, Miss Vernice Moody, who is a very bright, intelligent young a Price $1.50 Per Year woman, made a short appeal to the young people, asking them to prepare themselves for the opportunities that await them. In the short talk made by Mr. Malone, he proved himself the business man he is. His visit to Kansas City was for the express purpose of meeting the colored men and women to launch an organization that would cover the State of Missouri, and appoint an auxiliary to meet the legislature and ask that all black laws be obliterated from the statute books, and better laws be enacted wherein colored children in the rural districts would be permitted to attend school. He suggested that the institution at Tipton, Mo., where the home for incorrigible girls is located, be placed in charge of a colored board of managers, and as the school for incorrigible boys at Boonville, had been segregated, he thought it no more than proper, that one be established somewhere else, and a colored super-intendent and managers be placed in charge. THE MAYOR QUESTION. The usual city campaign is being conducted in the local newspapers, and candidates are "nominated," elected and withdrawn daily. Say and do what you will, but Jay E. House, the present mayor, is a long way from being a dead one, nor has any of the forecasters received it from his lips that he would not be a candidate, and why not House be a candidate? He has proven the squarest and best fellow that ever filled that office in the city of Topeka. He has played square with everybody, and conducted the affairs of the city according to the honest dictation of his own conscience. He has played every card face up, thereby making himself strong with the men and women who stand for a square, fair deal for everybody. Jay House is very much alive, and may run for mayor of Topeka, who knows? CHANUTE HONORS MEMORY OF ONE OF HER BOYS. Popular Young Man and High-class Musician Passed Away in France. The citizens of both races met at the A. M. B. church in Chanute a few days ago and paid tribute to the memory of one of their soldier boys, Private Homer M. Johnson, who died in France. His sister received the telegram November 25th stating that he had died. He was sent by the government to Western University to specialize in a certain line of military work. After completing the course he was sent to Camp Grant. He was skillful on the clarinet and was assigned to the 803d Pioneer Inf., Regimental band. From Grant he was sent over seas. He was an upright Christian young man and led an exemplary life in the community. His father, Mr. Jeff Johnson died several years ago. His mother, Mrs. Mattie Johnson died some years ago. HOMER M. JOHNSON also and he afterwards made his home with his sister, Mrs. Tabetha Brown. Young Johnson graduated with high honors from the Chanute High school and stood high with the individual members of his class. While in camp he made it his indispensable duty to talk love and Christianity to the soldiers and admonished them to follow the teachings of the Lowly Nazerene. He leaves a brother, Mr Will Campbell, of Kansas City, a sister, Mrs. Tabitha Brown and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. He gave his life that his race at home might enjoy the freedom which he did not. It is hoped that these white comrades returning from France will remember with sorrow and regret the thousands of bodies of soldiers now mourning in graves in far off France will not forget their comrade Honor M Johnson of Chanute, Kan, and the cause for which he gave his life.

Young, pastor of the Second Baptist church and also Miss Ethel Tolson, of Fayette, Mo., for the splendid work they have and are doing for the Society at that place. They lost no time in acquainting the people with the aim and object of the Society and the people responded nobly, which shows the high esteem in which the Reverend and this most worthy young lady are held by the people of Fayette. They are safe, sane lenders and worthy of the confidence that is placed in them. The following persons responded with a contribution and have been enrolled as members of the Society: Rev. W. C.

OKLAHOMA HELPS THE DEFENSE SOCIETY While we were attending the Colored State League at Tulsa, Oklahoma last week we were invited to attend the school exercises being held at the Baptist church at Sand Springs by Prof. William Lane Sand Springs is a beautiful little city a few miles from Tulsa, founded by the Hon. Chas. Page, a philanthropist, scholar and Christian gentleman. Mr. Page who is known as the "Red Oll and Mineral Magnate" is a friend to the colored people and believes they should have the same rights as any other race. We found Sand Springs to be happily populated by many progressive citizens, all of whom own their homes. Prof. Lane is the moving spirit among the colored people of this town. He has few equals along educational lines, and he has put forth every effort to give every colored boy and girl the same advantages as the white Prof. Lane has the support of excellent teachers, who are willing to give him all their time in helping to bring these boys and girls up to be in conscientious citizens. The children on program ranged from four to twenty years and each of them cheerfully and gracefully responded to the port assigned them on the program to the delight of their parents and friends. At the close of an after address which was made in behalf of the Kansas Defense Soelets Prof. Lane asked that a contribution be taken for this worthy cause. Among those who responded to the call are: Rev. L. G. Harris William Lane. (1) James Hudson T. Fucker L. Sherfield Amherlean Brown Rev. H. Jones Mrs. T. A. Lowe (1) Mrs. W. A. Guess (1) Mr O. H.

Dear Sir; I am an old subscriber and lover of The Topeka Plaindealer. I have never written one word for publication in your paper. I have read and also watched your position on all great questions respecting our race for a number of years. Your stand has always been a manly one. I read your reply to the Representative of the 23d District, Galena, Kansas. You made it clear. We can not help understand what you said. An editor like you and one who ventures to stand by what is right on all important questions, and those in particular which have to do with the fundamentals of our people, should, in my opinion be at the Peace Conference in France. Long live The Plaindealer. Sincerely yours. (REV.) P. K. TAYLOR. ATCHISON, KAN. Mrs. Clyde Briggs, who spent last week in Kansas City visiting relatives and friends, returned home Saturday.

Government Building—Told This Is "Dual Government" and Colored Really Separate—On to Versallies. Washington, D. C., Dec. 17, 1918. There is in one of the U. S. Department buildings a restaurant on the cafeteria plan, in which Colored employees have been and are denied the privilege of service, unless it is accepted from the kitchen window to be taken away for consumption. One of our girls, a recent appointee was upon one occasion served, but the next day, when she went in for lunch, was referred to the kitchen door The Colored clerk asked: "Why am I sent to the kitchen door? You are serving others here." "For speed," was the response o. the cashier waitress. "Oh, I am not looking for speed but for comfort," quetly returned the clerk and insisted upon service, whereupon tendering a dollar for the food the cashier kept the change, offering it to the clerk if she would return the lunch, but the clerk kept the lunch and began to get into the affair; and later in an interview with the chief clerk of the building was told that this was a "dual government" and the Colored people were really separate, having separated themselves into churches and schools of their own, and after the usual applications of "soft soap" in such matters the case still stands. This restaurant is leased for the purpose of serving the employees in the building. Here at the Nation's capital in a government building of a nation, proclaiming that it is 'making the world safe for democracy, when the people denied service represent the truest type of Americans doing their "big," not only their "bit" in the recent war, are forced to endure the inconvenience of no service in the lunch room unless accepted from the kitchen window.
