Twent-First Year. No. 8. Every American citizen, in city, county, state and nation, should contribute to the fullest extent in its crusading, rather than decreasing the educational facilities of the most but the citizen of this great nation. No humiliating barrier should be placed in the path of civilization. All American children are equally entitled to every right and benefit derived from our public educational institutions. If there is any who do not wish to come in contact with others in public let them withdraw from the public not the public from them. It has been said that contact caused friction. It is prejudice and race hatred that caused the friction. All children should be taught to regard, rather than disregard the rights of others. If popular sentiment, the board of education and our state laws encourage segregation and back a portion of the children in their disregard for the rights of others, there will always friction. Popular sentiment and all other potent agencies, should be utilized to create a friendly feeling, between the people who must live together in this same world. It is true that the great majority of misunderstandings and difficulties which arise between men, are the result of lack of contact. When people come in contact, discuss common interest, differences disappear. It was Charles Lamb who said, "I cannot hate the man whom I know." If all of our citizens, will accept and act upon these noble principles, we shall have reason to feel that the hundreds of thousands of brave men who laid down their lives could not have made the supreme sacrifice for any cause, which will contribute more to the maintenance of peace, the contentment of humanity and the well-being of mankind. C. C. CROCKETT. WOMEN'S CLUB PRAISES THE KANSAS DEFENSE SOCIETY The East Hill Art and Social Club Praises Work of Society That Is Fighting for the Race. To Mr. Nick Culles, Rev. Watson, of Shiloh Baptist church, and Members of the Kansas Defense Society and others who spoke out so boldly against segregation: We are grateful to God for men and women with souls for brotherly love, and who have the courage at all times and places to speak for justice for men and women are born, not murder. May the spirit of God, not flesh, son eternally these words are the sentiment of the Fighters of the Past Hill Art and Social club, who believe in paying tribute to sing praises during one's life time and not to erect monuments after death - Mrs. Wesley President after death - Mrs. Wesley, President, Mrs. Alexander, Secretary. Theitan Who Conducts the Spiritual Side of the Legislature is a Sample of the Cenure Christian. We are proud of the Rev. John A. Bright, chaplain of the house of representatives of this session. The most frequent prayer ever offered in that idol since the day of its organization was that of Chaplain Bright on Lincoln's birthday. He indulged the Lord in having blessed this nation in giving them a man like Abraham Lincoln as president of the United States and for striking the shackles from the shades and make all men respect each other as brothers, and all should dwell in peace and harmony. We are proud to know that there are a few white men who believe that his colored brother is entitled to the same rights as any other nationality under the law, and should be treated as such. May Chad in Bright Hyde law and continue to air the seed of brotherhood, love among the races. ED MCKINNYS FORMER KANSAS CITIAN DEAD An Effort is Being Made to Locate a D sister of the Daceared.

SEGREGATION. The question of segregation is of great importance as we stand today at the threshold of the period of reconstruction. The war has taught many lessons; one of the most useful is the value of co-operation. The successful outcome of the conflict, in which millions of lives have been sacrificed, billions of dollars expended, rich treasures destroyed, cities, towns and villages laid waste, and no one can estimate the human suffering, mercy and soot so completely co-operation due to perspective of race, color or creed. Men fought and died for a common cause. Devotion and sacrifice to the great crucus was truly magnificent. Even the unpatriotic laggards were pushed into action. There must be no letting down. There must be an unending continuance of whole-hearted cooperation and courageous devotion to the principles of right, justice and equality, which makes for the welfare of all. The education of our children is a matter of the greatest importance, which the great structure of high civilization and desirable cities should be built. CHAPLAIN BRIGHT. SUPREME COURT DECIDES CITY IS LIABLE FOR ACTS OF KANSAS MOB Attorney Freeman L. Martin Wins Important Case for Colored Victim of a Mob at El Dorado. Now if any, attorneys in Kansas are meeting with greater success in their practice before the state supreme court than Freeman L. Martin, of Wichita. He possesses all of the essential qualifications that make real lawyers. He is agradegate of Kansas and a credit to that seldom instituted court. Mr. Martin came from Tulsa, Okla., to Wichita in years 1972 and immediately became in all matters pertaining to the forward movement of both race and community. While in Tulsa, Mr. Martin organized the State Negro Her Association and served as president for one term. He also organized the Tulsa Negro Chamber of Commerce, an organization that has done much hands the advancement and multi-unit enterprise in that section of Oklahoma and later terms of the Knights of Pythias of Kansas and is held in highest court by the members of the order not only in Kansas but throughout Oklahoma and the West, Mr. Martin enjoys a iterative and growing practice, and ```markdown ``` THE HON.

He has been highly compiling or occu mented by learned judges autho the music throughout Kansas for the alto control of manner in which the case was han- lled. City of Chicago THE CITY OF ELBORDA A MEMORIAL CORPORATION, Appalachian APPEAL FROM BUTLER COUNTY, Hon. A. T. Ayers, Judge REVISED AND REMANDED SYLLABUS BY THE COURT. Johnson C. 1. Under the statute providing that "all incorporated cities and towns shall be liable for all damages that may arise in consequence of the action of robots within their corporate limits, whether such damages shall be loss of property or injury to or limb of them, Stat 1916, Par. 3222) a city liable for damages resulting from the action of a mob which assembled in the city and while acting within its corporate limits destroyed and injured property located just outside of its corporate limits. The opinion of the court was delivered by JOHNSTON, C. J. is a city liable for the damage resulting from the action of a mob which forms and operates within a city, where the injury is uneffected by the action of the corporate limits of the city, is the question presented on these appeals? The question arises on a ruling of the trial court sustaining a denurment to plaintiff's petition in each case. In each petition it was alleged in substance that a mob of about two hundred persons assembled in the city for the unlawful purpose of injuring plaintiff and destroying his home and its contents, which were located just a few feet outside of the corporate limits; that the mob came close to the house and from a point within the corporate limits of the city shot into three stones at the house, destroying I and damaging and carrying away personal property of considered I and defendant contests in the ruling of the court your have been bashed upon the theory that no liability can arise from the action of a mob which takes effect outside of the corporate limits. The statute under which the actions were brought provides that: "All incorporated cities and towns shall be liable for all damages that occur in connection with the formation of mobs within their corporate limits, whether such damage shall be 1 loss of property or injury to life or limb. (Gen. Stat. 115 Fri. $222) The defined liability arises as a consequence of the action which a mob makes within the corporate limits of a city or town. It is based on the place where the action is had and not on the place where it takes effect. It differs from a statute of Illinois which makes the place where the property destroyed or injured and not the place where the mob assembled the criterion as to liability, and it was held that a municipality was not liable under that statute for the action of a mob assembling or occurring outside the limits of the municipality, and beyond the control of its officers (Sturgeson, 6.1, City Code, Chapter 46.10). Here the mob assists in operating in a place where the city authorizes control. According to our state, if the mob assembles and operates within the corporate limits and its action results in damages, the city is liable not only for the damages done within the city, but "for all damages that may accrue in consequence of the action" etc. it is been said: That one of the purposes of the statute was to quicken the public conscience and stimulate a sentiment in favor of law and order by making such citizen and taxpayer responsible for a proportionate share of the loss resulting from mol violence and threatening each champion of peace and justice with the authority of the City of Wichita, 92 Kau, 44141 Pace 149. The statute was intended to prevent the organization of such mobs as were trained in the defiant city, and to impose a penalty for the failure of the city to suppress such mobs and prevent them from committing acts of mol violence within the jurisdiction of the city. The city authorities had the power and it was charged with the duty of preventing the assembling of law and the location of their lawful offices and the control of the limits of the city. The defendant can not escape liability because the such no formed established its battle line on the corporate boundary and fit and stood persons and property outside the corporate limits. The judgment is reversed and the Plaindeale cause remanded for further proceedings The above case is the outgrowth of the action of a mob that terrorized the colored people of El Dorado sometime back, and during the wild rade a colored man's property was destroyed. A CASE SIMILAR TO THE HOUSTON, TEX., RIOT. Judge Pollock Ruled Military Court Had No Jurisdiction in Case. Lavenworth, Feb. 12—Judge Pollock, of the federal court decided in the application of J. D. Crawford, a prisoner in the United States penitentiary, that a state of war did not exist between the United States and Mexico when the command under General Brigadier Sgt. into Mexico in the sentence of 16.6. Crawford, a civilian teamster, was discharged. The following day he shot at another teamster in a Mexican town. He was tried by court martial and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The question was set up in the habeas corpus suit that he was not in the emplos of the U. S. when he shot at the other teamster and that this country was not subject to such sentences. Mexico had of which contentions were sustained and Crawford was ordered released. It is said that the United States attorney will appeal the case to the higher federal courts. ATCHISON'S FINE CITY OFFICIALS Present Mayor is a Friend of the Colored People. Just now many cities in Kansas are turning attention to the election of city officials, and it behoves the colored citizen to exercise good, sound judgment and stand by the men who have proven their friendship by doing things that will aid and assist the race in the struggle for a foothold in this land of prejudice. Anyone seeking a good, fat job will promise almost anything, but keeping that promise is another proposition all together. Atchison elects a mayor and city officials next month, and the eyes of race men and women throughout the state are turned on that city with deep interest as to the results. It is a well known fact throughout the state that Mr. Louis Weinman, the present mayor, is the fairest and best man that has ever served that city and it comes to dealing with race. He has been absolutely fair and impartial in dealing with his constituents of color—giving them every consideration shown to any other citizens. In the distribution of jobs, Mayor Weinman has been generous in dealing with the race, and today the colored citizen of Atchison have as much if not more in the way of political recognition in the way of employment by the city, as any town in the state. The colored men and women over the state to turn their eyes toward Atchison at this time and pray for the success of Mayor Weinman. He deserves the hearts support of every man and woman of color in Atchison and we believe that he will receive it. Here's helping City Clerk Victor L. King is a part of the Wetman administration, and he has contributed much to make it the fine success it has attained in handling the affairs of the city in such an able and efficient manner. Mr. King is a fine gentleman representing the type of manhood that it takes to make anything a success that requires brains honesty and capabilities. Mr. King's administration of the affairs of the city is so obliquely that he will be kept on the job. Personally, he is pleasant to meet and agreeable at all times, and measures all men by roral worth and true character. --- Mr. A. L. Kurtz, the capable and efficient street commissioner is an other member of the city administration that has placed Atchison well up in the forefront of cities that are showing genuine civic pride. As an officer he is faithful, honest and untring in his efforts to give universal satisfaction. He is thoroughly familiar with the duties of his office and prides himself upon seeing how well he can conduct same. Mr. Kurtz has surrounded himself with a force of competent workers, and every man on the job loves and respects him, which is one of the secrets of his success. The race is well represented in his department of the city affairs and they will stand by this excellent gentleman for anything he desires. . . . Offenses are prejudiced, strong-heeded chief of police puts a good, conciliation major and city administration to the bid with the public, but such cannot be charged to the account of Mr. Frad Salader Athlone's capable tab and honest chief. He is a man of a strong officer and administrator the way to white, black, rich and poorable. He is a sinner pure white man who is willing to place his education in the hands of that of our men, hence he is no friend of Jim Crow laws. He visited Topeka during the inauguration or governor Allen, and hit the seqs reaction school bill that was to come before the legislature several hard punches while circulating among law-makers. It is the earnest hope and desire that these excellent gentlemen will be kept on the job in Acadson, and to accomplish this job it behoves the colored people of that city to register and vote. KANSAS KILLS SEGREGATION Yount's Jim Crow School Bill Was Badly Defeated. The house of representatives killed the segregation school bill for cities of the second class in the committee of the whole Monday. Hon. Ben Endes of Leavenworth, presided. He is the peoples friend—no race prejudice. In this one cultured gentleman, our next lame, will誓守 the list how they voted; 24 votes for the bill of which twenty were nominated Republicans, but in reality sympathizers of the backward South, a section that sent more white and black men to war who could neither read or write than all of the rest of the country combined. A wolf garbed in the robes of a sheep will always be found out. LEAVENWORTH VOTERS WANT MR. CHAS T. COX RE-ELECTED. Faithful and Efficient Commissioner of Parks and Public Property Has Made Good. The voters of Leavenworth want Mr. Chas, T. Cox re-elected Commissioner of Parks and Public Property. He is a man who has put Leavenworth on the map as one of the beauty spots of Kansas. Mr. Cox has made wonderful improvements on the parks and public property and will do more when the taxpayers say the word. He is economic and painstaking when it comes to spending the people's money, at the same time rendering capable and efficient service. The voters want him kept on the job. MRS. HARPER TO THE LECTURE PLATFORM Gifted Lady Ograter of Wichita Receives Invitation from Kansas Defense Society to Lecture. Mrs. Hauletta Harper, of Wichita is considering a proposition from the Kansas Defense Society to travel and deliver a few lectures in behalf of the society. Mrs. Harper possesses a wonderful personality, is a plea and compelling speaker. Mrs. Harper decides to take the plaform for the Defense Society, we will be glad to begin making engagements for her in towns where we know her meetings will be well attended. She has been authorized to solicit for the Society, which is raising funds for the release of the forty-one soldiers imprisoned at Leavenworth for participating in the Houston riot. This Society plans to knock out "jim crowland" wherever it is found or attempted to be found. We have a few of those laws in cities of the Second class and it is a disgrace upon the community in which they exist. Mrs. Harper will take up this line of work and look after the civil and political rights of the colored race. NOTICE TO WIER CITY READERS.

Sen of Prof. and Mrs. Geo. W. Jackson is Making Good in the Army. A letter from Francis, to his parents, Prof. and Mrs. Geo, W. Jackson, tells of his promotion to sergeant It is the Medical Corps of the army. When, other things he says: "After a rigid examination by three medical officers, I made a grade of 92. Previous to January 1st, 1919 to examinations were given for promotion and it was comparatively easy for a man, if he was recommended to become sergeant. Now each applicant must pass an examination before he begins to retire his physical and mental fitness and then only upon recommendation is he promoted, so you can see that I consider I have scored a great success One year ago I reached the Harbor of Brest and I have been no other place. It would be more appropriate to call this country, "Rainy France." We are sick of so much rain, yet this is better than a lot of snow.

The Kansas Defense Society is making an appeal those who donated money for Rev. I. R. Ransom's trip to France to write him asking that the money be turned over to the Kansas Defense Society, of Topeka, Kansas. Since Rev. Ransom is not going to make the trip the money should be turned over to this organization. The Society is making a fight for the release of the forty-one soldiers now imprisoned at Fort Eatenworth, Kansas and for the rights of the race, not only in Kansas but even yews. The Kansas Defense Society has employed attorneys, and has brought proddings in the United States court, the Court of Justice, mistreated and abused by Texas rumans. Thirteen of these boys were raugged, and the others were sent without the approval of the President of the United States. It is his duty of every local citizen, white and colored to donate to this cause. The Kansas Defense Society has employed several people to work around the legislature and assist in killing the separate school law and keep the race posted on p. 17 segregated the legislature, which might come be for the legislature. Monday came up for passage on the "door of the house, and as was preyed by the loyal Republican members, it was killed by an overwhelming vote. We sincerely trust that those who donated to the Riverland's fund will use and feel it their Christian duty to see that the money is turned over to the Kansas State University and the West cannot afford to turn our money over to some leased down East, when we have work to do right at home. White Colonel Says Black Americans Gamest Men in France New York, Feb. 12.—The transport Stockholm arrived here today from $850 a year. American troops. These arrivals included field and air headquarters company, medical detachment and Companies A, B, C and D of the $850th Infantry regiment, Ninety-third Division; the $854th company, transportation corps; casual company, Lee No. 219 of Maryland, 222 of Iowa and 234 of Mississippi, all the foregoing being colored troops. Col. William Hayward, commanding the 369th, which was formerly the old Fifteenth New York National Guard (Negro) regiment, said: "I am proud of my men. It certainly is a great feeling to be part of an organization of Sighters which, in addition to having 191 of its members cited for valorous deeds performed in action, was also decorated as a unit. Our colored fighters cared less for shell than any white man that ever brewed "At one period we were under shell fire for 191 days," he continued. "It was hell, but those boys fought like tigers. We held one trench for almost one day without relief and were raided every night, but we captured a large number of prisoners. Through the time ours was the first unit of allied fire to reach the Jihine. We went down as an advance guard of the French army at occupation." Gradually the story of the action of our boys is being told. They are too bold, fearless and game for pure blooded white Americans like Col. Kayward to try to conceal the fine work done by them in winning the CHETOPA. KANSAS. Mrs. James Jackson was called to Parsons, owing to the illness of her sister, Mrs. Phoebe Young.

Aldridge, one of the most highlypected men in that section is responsible for the success of the meetings having been in charge of the engagements to get the people together. Matters of great importance to the race locally were brought out at this meeting and plans for the future are definitely arranged. At this meeting it was decided to place a colored candidate in the field for hospital trustee, and a lady was selected to make the race. This is the correct thing to do. The colored people pay taxes and are entitled to representation. Personal While here we met Mr. P. C. Cottry also conducts the "All Nations" barber shop. He reports a fine business. Dr. J. M. T.

POPULAR WICHITA ATTORNEY VISITS FEW HOURS IN TOPEKA. The Hon. Freeman L. Merlin, of Wichita, stopped over in Tupelo a few hours last week on route to his home from Kansas City, Kansas, where he had been attending a meeting of the Scottish Rite Missions and assisted in organizing a Grand Council of thirty third district Missions. Mr. Martin is a young man of whom Kansas and the West should be proud of. He has worked him. If up from the bottom of the ladder he entered K. U. at Lawrence and graduated from that institution with colors flying. For a while he taught school, but soon gave it up to enter the practice of law at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he gained a reputation as a lawyer of great ability. Later Mr. Martin moved to Wichita, Kansas, and it is here he won a famous case against the City of Elliorado, Kansas, where a mob destroyed the property of a colored citizen, who resided on the edge of the city limits. Attorney Martin appealed from the decision of the district court to the supreme court of the state, and after a review by that body, ruled in favor of Mr. Martin, and the case will be brought up for trial on its merits again. We presume the trial judge thought that is being a colored man whose property the mob destroyed, had in mind the same thought as Judge Tuney, who decided in the Missouri Compromise—that the Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect. The supreme court of Kansas decided this according to law. For the benefit of our readers we publish the syllabus of the case elsewhere in this issue. Colored people should take advantage of this decision and where they have property destroyed by mobs they can recover from the city for allowing such outrages to be committed PLEASANTON, KANSAS. Rev.

This is the social part of the order but a burial fund of $15 has been added—Mrs. Emma Gaines, M. E. Queen, Saturday of last week The Plaindealer was delighted by a visit from a time honored friend and former printer on this sheet in the person of Mr. Frank A. Harris, secretary of the "Y" at Kansas City, Mo. "Just run up," he remarked as he toyed with a costly watch charm, about the size of the fist of a 5 year old kid, "to see the basket ball game and say hello to The Plaindealer gang. Ive a warm spot in my heart for the old rug, you know." The little man who has builted Kansas City the best "Y" in the country was looking and feeling fine. He "meddled" with everything and put some pretty hard questions to the foreman in regard to still being one of the "boys." "You're looking fat and fine as a siddle," he remarked to the veteran who has superintended the mechanical end of this summer for the past twenty years, "must have quit drinking booze." That individual smiled as he nodded his head in the affirmative. It was a genuine smile—one of sure enough joy to know that he had done at least one thing that suited Frank and perhaps he would saw off and cease "poking it" on his personal affairs. Thus the battle for the conversion of a sinner ended, and for more than two hours, these old time printers revealed in the tows of days long since passed.
