The Kansas Defense Society Extends a Cordial Invitation to Each and all to Celebrate Lincoln Dayat the Second Baptist Church Twent-First Year. No 8. There are thousands of people of the colored race who have lost their identity, "crossed over" and married into the socalled pure whites. Today I doubt if there is much pure white blood left in the Southland Your Southern white brethren on one side have been taken into his land and the Negro for his labor, and it is hard to tell who is who down there. You talk about what is good for the colored race, what do you know about the race? You don't associate with them, hence we are at a loss to know how you can express their views upon any question pertaining to their welfare comfort? There are too many people like you, who try to be wise as to the wants, likes and dislikes of the black race. Your experience on the education of colored children is very limited indeed if you have only supervised two schools in Kansas; one a mixed school and another a colored school and both in Iowa. In the larger cities where a large amount of brain is required to manage schools you would prove a miserable failure. At Chanute a short time ago a colored lad ranked at the head of his class, but for modesty's sake, took second place for a popular white girl whose parents pleaded that she he given the honor. Our own two daughters passed through all of the grades in the Torks schools—one completing and neither over attended a segregated school. They passed through without a clamor. The teachers were paid to instruct not to draw the color line, and they did their full duty. Now Mr. Penet if you don't like Kansas, his school laws and her people, just resign and go to Georgia or Texas where you will meet thousands of your kind. We have lived in Kansas forty years, and have had more than contemptible white people from the South in the past ten years than all the years combined. They are approaching the doctrine of Tillman Vardman and Dixon in their effort to destroy the friendly relation between the races in this state and we had just us well begin now to crush the head of this river. The true Kansas and the free industries colored cities have always dwelled in peace and harmony and will continue to do so if Pineta kind will leave the state or cease meddling with our affairs. We are thoroughly familiar with the purpose of you and your kind. There is no race problem in Kansas when it comes to education. All we want is the school house doors to continue to swing outward for all races. There are hundreds of colored educators teaching in mixed schools and one has been inured there and we know they are doubly qualified or they never have been employed. We believe that when you have trained in Kansas as long as we have trained her people and their ways you will change your mind on a good things you are indulging up.

A Full View of the Secretary of Kansas Teachers' Association. Mr. F. L. Pinel, Sec'y. Kansas Teachers' Ass'n, and Editor Western School Journal Dear Sir, I note through the Capital of Sunday, January 19, 1910, that the Kansas Teachers Association endorsed separate schools in Kansas. I am surprised at such an action and don't you think it would be better that, that class of teachers who do not want to teach colored children in mixed schools should resign such positions and go South and join the Tillman, Yardman and Diah gang, who believe colored people have souls and almost less than animal. Just after the war and several years thereafter, white teachers from the North, especially white ladies, thought it was an honor to go South and teach the colored people. And, white men with families would educate their children right along with the colored children; and never thought of it until a few years later, when Southern hated because so intense and passed laws against teaching them together; only then was this broken up. We do not believe you can mention a single colored teacher in Kansas who would not give up his job, at any time, if it would bring about the education of the children together. We believe all teachers should obtain their positions through civil service, as they do in Chicago, New York, Ohio and several rural districts over the country. We believe any organization of people who attempt to draw the color line on poor, defenseless children, who are entitled to an education at the expense of the tax payers, should be ostracised and not allowed to hold positions as educators. The colored man is either an image of God or a close resemblance, from the fact that he walks and acts like the white man, comes into the world like him, goes out like him, and the only way we will be convinced that the white man is superior to him, is when he stops dying. We believe you are too much of a Christian gentleman to be participating with any class of people who are guilty of such outrages. You truly. President of Kansas Defense Society and Editor The Topeka Plaindealer. Mr. Pinet a Desciple of the South. Mr. Nick Chiles. Editor Topeka Plaindealer. Editor Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas Dear Sir: I have your letter of January 5th, which I have read with interest. I have no desire to enter into a controversy with you concerning the race question, but will say to you frankly that not only does the Kansas State Teachers' Association approve the bill for segregated schools, either of the Second Grade or could be had to its provisions extended to such cities of the Third class as may wish to operate under the law proposed I may also say that personally I hope such a law will be enacted. This attitude, however, is not based upon race prejudice, but upon the best interests of all the children in the Kansas schools. There is no question but that separate schools should be provided if education is to do its full duty to the colored child. I have had experience in the training of colored children in both mixed and in separate schools and I do not hesitate to say that twice as much can be accomplished for the colored child in the separate school as in the mixed school. During the year 1999 to 1999 I was superintendent of schools at Chanute, Kansas, where we had mixed schools and where a rather large number of colored children were enrolled in the schools. The experience I had proved to me conclusively that the two races should be given separate schools, for there was constant between the white children and the colored, and the colored children made but poor progress in their school work. From 1990 to 1993 I was superintendent of schools at Parsons, Kansas where the colored people had their own schools and I found that not only were the colored children hindered and more contended but also that it was possible to accomplish much more for them. I sharing their education in the schools of teachers of their own race who better understood them and whose management they welcomed. I feel sure that nothing could now induce either the colored children of Parsons or their parents to return to the former system of mixed schools. I feel sure Mr. Chiles, that if you really understood the problem of coloration for the colored fruits, you would surprise me and then approve the means of application. Sincerely yours P. L. PINET Surprised to Find Such a Man in Mr. MacDonald's Place. Mr P. L. PINET Bice's, Kansas Teachers' Woman and Editor Western School Journal Touka Kansai Dear Sir, Your letter in reply to mine of recent date in land and with the interest, I am at a low to know how you come in person and a noble man bish character and education as the into John McDonald who retired that matter with honor and dignity. Mr MacDonald always thought it an honor or to encourage the "man farther down," and when a person was making an honorable struggle for a foot hold on the ladder of success, he delighted in using the columns of the Western School Journal to boost their ambition. Culture and brain counted with that noble gentleman—not race or color. He was never guilty of referring to the poor condition or standing of anyone to make capital of to promote himself even though he be in the manority. I am indeed sorry that man has been chosen to succeed that noble, high minded Scotchman who is not worthy of unlatching his shoes when he alive today). I believe you have not only disgraced his good name, but the poor as well and I know that you have disgraced this grand state whose pioneers made through blood that equal opportunities be accorded all men within her bounds. Although you cast a reflection upon the members of your Association when you say that they are unable to control the children and keep down racial strife among the children, I am forced to take issue with you on this point. I do not believe there are a dozen white educators in Kansas who would permit strife in their school room on account of race or anything else. I venture the assertion that you are of Southern birth or have in some way been closely connected with people of that section of the globe. Again you may have colored relatives for all you or I know, for as a rule the white man or woman who howls the most on color are likely) to be the ones whose ancestors a few juices to the rear have done a lot of mixing up among the two races and it is best for a fellow to go a little slow as he might be howling for a law to segregate his own blood kill.

Time to put on hakes and let liberty have its away in the hearts of men universally. Otherwise our brave black soldiers boys who fought, bled, and died upon the battlefields in France that freedom might reign over all men have died in vain. In war times, for humanty's sake, you said, hold your peace. Now, then, the armistice has been stained, and peace is at hand, so we see no need of us keeping our mouth those when so many unungly crimes are being perpetrated upon the race. I would think myself less than a true law man not to speak of those culls which are so illmanable to the race, and if it is right for us to hold our peace, we don't think it is entirely fair, unless you are decided to come to teach with initiation enough to stop lymbion in your defenses a helpless Negro. There was a southern white man once went from the South to广州. From his disposition and oral rank he must have gone to广州. So God仁救 him to run at home, and while he was browbunting around on the other streets he became dissatisfied and wanted to ribel but was unsuccessful. Then he proceeded up to the tome of God to Lynch Jira who says so right side. So God commanded Michael and the other angels to thrust him out. John is kid in the spirit and saw him falling and wag, and said: "Woe be unto the inhabitants of the earth!" Yes, while the black Americans were eagerly and anxiously undertaking the task of making the world safe or democracy and extending an equal protection over all the races, the white men of the very lowest grade, who are left here behind who ought to have been on the farm bass raising something to eat for the soldier lows who were upon the battlefield in France, were here setting examples in lawlessness right at home, which the most brightened nation might sell be ashamed of. We send naval ships and military expeditions half way around the globe to protect other nations, but when it comes to protecting her own citizens she can't do it, two ships of money can be spent in a way like the Monty dynamic case and the whole world get worked up over it. Our government can step in to interfere to save such a culprit, but ord may lynching can be carried out without any interference. In many cases the victims are a moment, but that makes it difficult to time to put on banks. The record shows there were 12 billion in a country last year, two more than in 1917, and out of the 6.11 were New Yorkers but 4.79 of these were women.

Representative Dana, chairman of the committee received us in a polite and cordial manner. Hon. Ellisha Scott, attorney for the Defense Society, was chairman of that body, and speaking on behalf of his committee, he assured the legislative committee of the kindly feeling the colored people cherished toward them, and felt and believed that they would act for Kansas and her citizens alike; showing special privileges to none. Mr. Scott then introduced the Rev. S. T. J. Watson, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church and also president of the colored Criticution Home. He is a scholar, deep thinker and a most convincing speaker. In the course of his remarks, Rev. Watson put two propositions to the committee and every man had to set up and take notice. He said: "I was born and reared in the South and know what your actions here in this Great Republican State will mean to that section. To have this the Sunflower State and have this the State pass such a bill will say to the Vardaman, Tillman, Bailes type of the South, "Go to it we are with you." "Shall we pass such a law as will say to its colored citizens." "You are not worth" of the best education. "Segregation means inferior equipment. To pass such a bill puts the stamp of inferiority on the race and opens the way by law for mistreatment. "Texas railroad law calls for equal accommodations. Yet a colored woman must ride from Texarkana to El Paso, six hundred miles with no place to wash her face. By degrees these bills creep into our state. We have fully enough now. "Shall this state say to our boys before the smoke of battle has cleared away that you fought well, but we are shutting a door of hope in your face. Bows, you were good enough to shoulder your guns and fight for a pure Democracy but you are not good enough to enjoy the thing you fought for. What a record, fifty four years of freedom and not a single assassan or unarchist born in the race? "Any community that has hatred enough to want segregation has enough hatred to think that we are not worthy of the best, and it takes the best to make the best citizens." "We do no ask for any special favors to be enacted for us. But we do ask that you will please not interrupt any of us." "Go South and you will find that there is no end to this when it starts, and that the worst form of citizenship exists under segregated influences. Our boys have not returned from over the sea. Shall they have taken from them when they return, the ting for which they fought so nobly?" "Perhaps some colored man got the film from whose gun would have come the fatal bullet that would have taken the same gritte from some man's gun as fighting for his bill." "The film is in a small way taking the same fight the killer made." "Me and mine me, but all others down." "The man who rights against it is fighting for Pure Democracy—equal rights for all and special favors for None. "Shall we be citizens only in time of War." Louisenant William A Bettis editor of The Writita Protest, a paper that wors neither musk or muzzle, was introduced next. He delivered a fine, concluding speech terming with patriotism such as can only fall from the lips of a man who has stood on the firing line and burned his breast to the enemy. Louisenant Bettis was Please do me say that I believe one of these names are, you are failing to ask for your rights as citizens here in the state of Oklahoma.

W. McHenry, wrote this wife, Mrs Mary L. A. A. atray, during the beh Plaindealer speaking for a cause that is closer to his heart. He was talking for the cause of freedom, a cause for which he had offered his life. It was very touching and pathetic when the Lieutenant referred to the battle fields of France in his wild word picture told how gamely that white and black America charged the Hun together, and to pass such a bill would be contrary to the great principle for which many of them made the supreme sacrifice and today, white and black are sleeping side by side beneath the soil of France. It was plainly visible that the members of the Educational Committee were deeply touched and that the Soldier's idea had went home. Mr. Stewart, of Galena, where the infamous bill was conceived, was next to address the committee. He said he had lived in Galena for forty odd years and the races had always lived in peace and harmony, and that the feeling among the school children at the school was that there were any circumstances. He said that there had never been any trouble until Senator Sparks was sent to the legislature two years ago. He said that the colored citizens, most of whom ```markdown ``` REV. S. E. U. WATSON, Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church and Bold Defender of the Rights of His People, ate taxpayers, never asked for separate schools and a few white people wanted to force it upon them. Prof. N. Sawyer, an instructor in the public schools of this city was also one of the speakers. He represented the N. A. A of C. P. He said that wherever segregated schools existed that the colored people received the inferior end, that under that system it was impossible to make them equal. The committee was composed of twelve who were working under the direction of Mrs Ella Rollen, one of the brightest and most aggressive women in the West. She is on hand and in the forefront on all occasions when the rights of the race are inscribed and will fight to the last ditch. It was this grand little woman who two years ago watched the legislature from the meeting to the close, and her shrewd tact and cunning manipulations kept this infamous bill from becoming a law. She is one of the most valuable members of the Kanaua Defense Society in whose executive counsels she is making herself felt. The committee: Mrs Ella Rollen, Hon Elisha Scott, Rev. S H J Watson, G W.

These boys walked into the jaws of hell side by side with the American white man in the bloodest conflicts stared during the war—fighting for a democracy that will stand out as a living lie as long as the American white man continues to sow the seed of race hatred. The order reads: Your attention is directed to "e" and "f." Extract—General Order No. 40—Ninety-second Division. (Only) Ninety-second Division. (Only.) The special duties with which the Military Police and Sentencils are charged with are: (a) to insure order and proper behavior by enforced men at all times.

WILSON. Chief of Staff. --- There seems to be a few white men who think it their indispensable duty to override all common decenice law, rules and regulations to keep the colored man always down at the foot of the ladder. This is the most inous order ever issued by a military officer in a foreign country, where men were compelled and called to defend the rights of the people of the entire world. We do not believe that any such order was issued to a white division from the United States. We would like to know something of this man, Gen. Irving. He must be a Fourthier of the Tillman-Dixon letter to issue such an order to as brave a body of fighting men as the 92d Division proved themselves to be. We think he is unfit to command these or any other soldiers and should be discharged. The people will get the whole truth as to how shamefully our color soldiers were treated by American white officers in France as soon as the boys of the 92 Division arrive home. We are informed that they reduced several colored captains, and took many officers away from their commands and put them in obaque places to work. The respect shown our boys was mostly by French officers. Had it not been for the French our boys would have fared much worse. The white South is in the saddle and race hatred will be scattered more liberally as far as this class retains a foothold. However, the days of the Southern are few and full of trouble, and the time is not far distant when he will be compelled to recognize, all men as citizens with rights that must be respected.
