DEFENSE SOCIETY GAINING RAPIDLY People Throughout the Country Are Uniting for Racial Protection. NICK CHILES AT HUTCHINSON. President of the Kansas Defense Society Receives a Warm Welcome and Makes Good Talk. After listening to the remarks of Hon. Nick Chiles, the People's Forum which met at the Second Baptist church felt that it was good to have been there and from the lips of all thinkers only words of praise and prayers of thanks were offered for one race man who is fearlessly and bravely fighting the just cause of the black man. So plain, so practice, so instructive did Editor Chiles rename son with the people, when he closed his plea for justice and equal rights for every human, a number went forward and financially answered the call. Long live (ck Chiles May his words and deeds reach from pole to pole—even that they might be heard in the bottomless pits of hell where all advocates of segregation go and for every black law that you kill may it add to the damnation of their torment.

GRAND MUSICAL TREAT In the onward march of American civilization, the American Negro has been an active participant. He has given chiefly of his manual labor, but in addition he has added something to American civilization in the field of the fine arts, and that is music. There are some twelve or more colored churches in Topeka. There are four elementary public schools, and there is the Industrial and Educational Institute. In all of these schools and churches music is an outstanding feature, and so much so that it has become possible for the several churches and schools to combine into one big musical organization—a community chorus, and render a community "sing." As announced already this particular "sing" is to take place on the evening of March 18th, 8 p.m., at the City Auditorium. It is expected and anticipated by the management of the "sing" that the affair on March 18th will take precedence over any other organization or activity among colored people for that particular date; or in other words, that every church member, every music lover, everyone interested in the promotion of the religious, music and educational forces of Topeka, be present on that occasion. The price of admission is merely nominal, 25c. The community chorus consists of 200 voices, made up largely of persons from all the church choirs the Industrial Institute chorus and many others musically inclined The chorus began its rehearsals the latter part of January, and has been meeting twice each week since. The attendance at these rehearsals has averaged about 100 persons, all of whom have strongly endeavoured to measure up to the watchword of the organization, "Be on time at practice." The business end of the project is being presided over by the executive committee composed of the following ministers: S. E. J. J. Watson, Shiloh Baptist; H. W. King, St. John, A. M. E; D. A. Jefferson, Third Baptist; L. S. McCallum, Presbyterian; C. R. Craggett, Christian; Rev. T. A. Bowers, Lane Chapel C. M. E; Rev. Jones, M. Olive, M. E; Rev. B. Davison, Mt. Carmel, Baptist; M. I. Burton, "B" Street Baptist; G R. Haywood, Brown Chapel, A. M. B; Rev. Duvse, Ashbury Chanel, M. B. G R. Bridgeforth principal on the Industrial and Educational Institute, has served as chairman of this committee. The purely musical end of the program is being protected by the music committee, composed principally of the several choir leaders. The personnel of this committee is as follows: Luther P. Jackson, chairman; P. M. Ware Clarence Bradshaw, P. C. Thomas, A. J Wilson Mrs. Temple R. C Morgan, Anna Jenkins A. J. DeMoss, Ben Clark Ruby McKnight Sarah McChain Mankha Griffith and Corn L. Boulder. Among the special features of the program Tuesday evening will be one number each by the Harmony equivate Industrial Institute chorus, Miss Corn L. Boulder, Jackson hand, Miss McKnight and Mrs. Thompson (duett). R G Jackson, Kauga City, pipe organ; and Mrs. R. G Jackson, soprano Prof. R. G Jackson is already well known to the citizens of Tonoka and his coming alone should merit a large attendance. Malcolm Griffith son of Rev T. L. Griffith, will serve as piano accompanist. In this capacity as well as others in the field of music Mr Griffith stands in the front line The chorus brooner is under the direction of Luther P Jackson, brother of R. G Jackson, a graduate of Fisk University and a member of the Industrial Institute faculty. Let all be present and ready when the grand program begins, on Tuesday evening, March 18th at 8 p m THE BLACK MADONNA Kansas Soldier Tells of Sights in Far Away France. Chambery Savoir France. Feb 5, 1919 Editor Plaindealer: While still enjoying a most pleasant and interesting vacation in Chambers and being destruous of communicating with my relatives and friends at home, whom I believe are interested in me, I ask will you kindly assist me by publishing the following: Now it was Sunday morning a cloudy, foggy and cold day when possibly as many as two hundred soldiers who were of different regiments and companies who were on furious had gathered in the Y M C A seated about as they were, each had a different conversation mostly of when will you go home, or have you heard anything lately of going home or the different experiences on the front which by some I imagine were great exacerbated. Some were wondering how they were going to spend the day and there is not the slightest doubt in my mind but that the home folks did not have their Sunday planned long before it came. While we sat looking in the open fire-place, a contrat in our 'group' spoke to me saying: "Well 'Sarge,' what's doin' today?" "In what way," I replied? "Well where can a man go to amuse himself?" Now there was a card hanging on the wall of the large room that read "Go to Challies les Eaux and see the Black Madonna." Without hesitation I glanced at the card and immediately replied, "What's the matter with going to Challies les Eaux and seeing the Black Madonna?" "O I don't care much about going," he answered. Somehow, the more I thought of the trip the greater my enthusiasm grew until at last I decided to go see the black Madonna if I had to go alone I took the trip and indeed it was well worth taking. The tramway train left the square at 9:33 a.m. for Challes les Eaux. The square was about four blocks from the "Y" and it was now 9:20. Shall I go or shall I stay? I asked myself I will go. After making hasty preparations to meet the train a man from the "Y" was also on his way over to Challes les Eaux to hold services at the Y. M. C. A. over there. After asking him an untold number of questions which he seemed so well pleased to answer, then I asked him about the Black Madonna. He then informed me that the directors of the "Y" took all men on hikes each day either up Mt. St. Michel or to the Black Madonna. After arriving at Challes les Eaux we went direct to the "Y" where services were held and immediately after services it was announced that there would be a hike up St. Michel at 1 p.m., but because of so many having already been up the mountain, many pleaded for the trip to be abandoned and taken to the Black Madonna. About an hour later it was announced that the trip up the mountain would be postponed and all who desired the trip to the Black Madonna to be ready at 1 o'clock and Mrs. Hunton would lead and instruct us as we hiked. At 1 o'clock the party was ready and set out on their trip to the Black Madonna, which was in a church in the village of Myans, about three or four miles south of Challes les Eaux. All the way there were mountains reaching far into the heavens and the clouds hovered around the tops so closely that they looked topples. At last far in the distance and to our right, the top of the village church could be seen far above the other buildings. The church was built along in the fifth century and there is no date given as correct for the first church which is beneath the ground at the present age. The Black Madonna and the Lady of Myans are the same so do not feel that when one or the other name is given that we are speaking of a different person. The Lady of Myans is a historical figure derived from the Spanish in times unknown and was made Black because it was their belief of Christ and His mother that they were not partial to color; in other words would just as leave black as white. People writing France from all over the world who are of that belief always visit the Lady of Myans. At one time long years ago a great landside came from the direction of Mr. Illione which neatly destroyed the whole village of Myans but some of the people rushed into the church fell before the altar and worshiped. The top part of the church was destroyed but the lower part was not, and thus it was believed that through Lady Myans these people were saved. Now then at the entrance of the building there are two flights of stairs, one leading to the lower part and the other to the upper part or the new church. We of course took the view of the old church first. In the lower part there were only a few windows to which particular attention was called. Now these windows were stained not as ours are of today, but more beautifully. We were informed also that the art of staining glass as this was had been lost for a number of years. The news were just an ordinary long, old fashioned bench with a back to it; floors to this date are stone or concrete; images of all descriptions on posts walls shelves, railings and in fact everywhere. On our way to the altar on the left hand side were crutches on the wall which we were told had been left by crippled and lame who had come before the Lady Myans and were healed We have now arrived at the altar and behold here is the Ladies—pass before her and inspect her closely. The Black Madonna sure enough black in every sense of the word. Enclosed in a glass case in what I considered a most sacred place, she stands holding the child. A golden crown on each of their heads adorned with only pure stones of every kind wrapped in a crown of pure gold also full of gems, above her head is carved two angels holding a crown of gold while the altar itself is decorated with gold vases, candlesticks of air client times and indeed it is a sight to behold. One after having been informed of the Lady Myans and the power vested in her through their heels looks on her almost trembling and with a feeling that is almost indescribable as she sees her. At the time of Napoleon's reign all Madonnas were ordered destroyed but this one met his approval it was and is to this day being carefully preserved in the village church of Mvana. After ascending a flight of one hundred and eighteen steps to the tower, Mt Blanc, the highest mountain of the Mira or in Europe is visible on a clear day, but the day of my visit and every day so far has been foggy and the view of the mountain and Italy has been invisible. This place has rather an extensive and interesting history, and is also full of traditions of which, if it will meet the approval of you and your large family) of readers, I will be more than glad to relate at some future time. Very respectfully, SERGT. CLYDE LANNAGAN, Co. I 803d Pioneer Infantry), American Expeditionary Forces Somewhere in France. THE CITY CAMPAIGNS. Topeka and Other Cities Will Elect New Officials. TOPEKA. McGiffert, the soldier, went over the top for you in France, now he wants you to go over the City of Topeka and get votes for him for Commissioner of Parks, while he is in a hospital. He says he will give the city a good, clean administration if you but give him the office.—Hob McGiffert, the soldier. Mr. W. A. Myers announces that he will be a candidate at the primaries. March 24th for the nomination of commissioner of finance and revenue for the city of Topeka, and requests the support of The Plaindealer readers. Mr. Myers has been a taxpaying citizen of Topeka since 1898, and guarantees faithful and efficient service. Vote for Mr. M. W. Overton for member of the board of education, city of Topeka. He is one of the leading grocers of North Topeka; a taxpayer and a man who will do all in his power to improve the efficiency of the public schools of Topeka. He believes in education and also believes in paying fair salaries for good teachers. He does not believe in crowding the rooms or the grades. Vote for Mr. Overton. You will always be glad of it. The voters will be called upon in a short time to elect a mayor, and everybody should look to the city's best interest. Mr. W. G Tendy has served the city for years, first in the council and as commissioner of streets and walks and is ripe in experience when it comes to handling municipal affairs. He will save the taxpayers' money and at the same time not stint the laboring man. He is fearless and honest to the core. A vote for Tandy means a better and greater Topeka.—One Who Knows. --- The voters of Topeka will be called upon to select a man for commissioner of Water and Light at the coming city election. Mr Jesse Shaw is a man who has had the experience and knows every inch of water main in Topeka, and is in every way competent to manage this department. He has been connected with the water department for years—before the city owned the plant. Mr Shaw can be depended upon to give the people an honest and fair deal, and at the same time bring the plant up to the highest standard of efficiency. The people cannot afford to change at this time. Mr. Shaw has the city's interest at heart and will work hard to maintain the best service to be had in this department. Mr Shaw is personally known to most of us and has been for years, all know he is straight and honest. LEAVENWORTH. Mr. S. T. Jones has consented to become a candidate for member of the board of education in the City of Leavenworth after much persuasion by a large number of taxpayers and voters who know him. He is thoroughly competent to do the things that are necessary to keep the public schools in good running order and there is no reason why he should not receive your vote and support. There is not a candidate in the race who can surpass him in the matter of looking out for the schools. --- Mr. Chas T Cox is again before the voters of Leavenworth asking a re-election to the place of Commissioner of Parks and Public Property and submits a splendid record of past service as a recommendation for the office he seeks. He is a splendid fellow and worthy of consideration. Mr. Francis J. McAnliffe, candidate for Commissioner of Parks and Public Property, was born in Leavenworth, and is one of the city's biggest business men. He is vice-president of the Mehl & Schott Drug Co. Fifth and Deleware streets, one of the finest drug houses in Kansas. He has after much coaxing by his many friends to become a candidate, he has yielded and is in the race to win. He knows what the city needs and will see to it that nothing is left undone to make the parks and other public property beautiful. In announcing his candidacy for Mayor, Mr. John C. Seitz among other things says: "The City of Leavenworth is now, for the first time in its history, on a sound financial and cash paying basis." Continuing he says, "If you want to continue this kind of administration cast your ballot frme at the Primarien, March 24, 1913." ATCHISON. All of Atchison is for the reelection of the present mayor, Mr. Mr. Louis Weinman. He is the laboring man's friend, for he works hard himself at his plant. He owns and operates one of the largest cooper shops in the state, and toils side by side with his men. He dons his overalls the same time they do. He also gives a few hours each day to the business interests of Atchison. Major Weinman has made many improvements since he has been in office, and this too without increasing the tax burden of the people. He is outspoken and fair in all of his transactions KANSAS CITY. KANSAS. We note with pleasure the candidacy of Hon. Dorsay Green for a member of the board of education, Kansas City, Kansas. He says the city needs improvement in her educational institutions, and if he is elected he will do all in his power to improve the public school facilities. A vote for him means more and better education facilities in Kansas City. PITTSBURG, KANSAS. Mr Edward King is visiting in Kansas City, and Topeka. Mississippi Bell, Blanche Abernathy, and Opal Edmonson, of Cherokee, were visitors in the city, Sunday. Messrs Amiel Pierce, Turner Alexander, Vernon Stovall, Adolph Baines and Hobart Chatman, motored to Joplin, Mo., Sunday, where they spent the day.

Miss Daisy Robinson, one of our Normalites, visited relatives in Ft. Scott, Sunday. Mr and Mrs. George Austin gave a dinner party Sunday. Covers were laid for eight. A Pittsburgh boy in France writes a very interesting letter to a friend: Lassay, France, Jan. 17, 1919. Mr. Thomas Early, Pittsburgh, U. S. A. Tommy: Your most welcome letter was received the 16th. I thought you would never write me again. I seems to me that since I have kept the lasser off you, it would be no more than fair for you to drop me a line occasionally and let me know how the old "burge" is going. I am getting along fine, working in the office now and like it fairly well. Tom. I had some time upon the line. I held a position just opposite a town occupied by Germans and I certainly laid over some pretty barrages on them, and they laid a few on me. This town is in the St. Die sector if you ever get a map of France probably will see Semones extreme eastern part of France. The day I went on the line I was shelled some. There were four of us in an old building one morning about daybreak we were aroused from our slumber by Pritzy discharging a six inch at us. The house was in plain view of the Boche trench, but we always used the side where the Boche couldn't see us. The first shell exploded over our house and tore a hole through the top and shrapnel whithed all around us. The second bursted on the side of our hut and punctured the side about big enough for a man to crawl through. The third tore itself up somewhere close. I didn't wait to see just where it happened all the shells exploded in the air, I believe that is why none of us were wounded. Scout this has been a great experience for me, although I have had some close calls, long before I went on the line I made the acceptance of artillery and aircrate fire I went to a machine gun school and the first week there we had to get up twice every night because of necromine raids and boy my first night on the front I was in reserve on a mountain side with two guns and seven men that night Fritz came very near getting my true range I didn't think he would let me live till morning I didn't think me like till morning I dore shell me until one more shell would have lined me out — — — — — — NERGT GEO McDANIEL.
