Hoglass nurses. The institution is mercha hot ers. r Collector is Callin Kana Calling on Topeka Sub The Great State Needs New Blood With Which to Quicken Business Activity. The editor has just returned from a trip in Kansas and Oklahoma, the coming country for the colored race. En route we stopped at Ottawa and called on our agent, Mr. Thomas Simpson, who conducts a clothes cleaning establishment and writes insurance as a side line. Here is the place for some energetic young man, who can repair autos to make good money. Mr. J. H. Smith, the blacksmith has opened a garage and wants a man at once. We find splendid opportunities of this kind everywhere, young man of the race. What is the matter with our industrial schools they are not making any mechanics of this class? The automobile industry is the greatest thing in the United States and offers the best opportunities for men of the race. No matter how prejudiced a man may be, he does not care a rap who puts his car in shape when it falls to work. He wants his car to run. The industrial schools in Kansas should get busy and meet the popular demand of the day. CHANUTE Here we were royally received and organized a Kansas Defense local society. We spoke to a crowded house Mr. J. B Odair, one of the race leaders in this section, was chairman and promoter of the meeting, and the big crowd was a splendid endorsement of the high standing and esteem in which he is held in the community. Chanute should be proud of her musical talent, for we have never listened to a finer program than that produced by the musicians of Chanute. The band is fine and a credit to the city and state. Chanute has an industrious, wide-awake class of colored citizens who are buying good homes and living comfortable. They are mostly employed in the Santa Fe shops and cement plants. EMPORIA We stopped here a few hours between trains en route to STRONG CITY. Here we met our friend, Mr. Robt. Woods. He owns several hundred acres of fine land and cattle by the hundreds. From here we moved on to WICHITA. We met several friends while taking a few hours rest before making our first visit to EL DORADO. the great hub center of the Kansas oil fields The colored people of this place started backward by permitting themselves to be Jim Crowed. Their church is located in the west portion of the town and where most of them live is unsanitary. They are allowing themselves to be Jim Crowed in the public schools by their own voluntary act, which is a shame and a disgrace and works a hardship on the race in places where they are fighting to maintain their rights as citizens. Mr. L. J Jordan owns a nice confectionary and shining parlor. Passing through WINEFIELD we stopped a few minutes with our friend, Mr Frank Montgomery, who is not only thrifty and enterprising, but a thorough race man. He is for an) proposition that will advance and elevate the race in state or nation, entering Oklahoma, our first stop PERRY. Here we met our friend, Mr. Abe Hunn, an old Tojekan, who conducts a good cafe. He is building a fine bungalow, owns a fine auto and stands high with everybody in the community. We stopped with our friend, Mr. Clem Talliaferro, who owns one of the largest stores in town. His wife is grand matron of the Eastern Star and was on her annual visit to the chapters over the jurisdiction. Around Perry there are, several colored families who are doing fine. GUTHRIE. Here is where we found a responsive set of race men and women who are either doing something or trying to do. They are loyal to race advancement, and several are doing a good business. They are well represented along all lines of trade and industry and also in the professions. There are hundreds of colored farmers who own their land and are growing good crops, waking up to the fact that they are American citizens and entitled to every right enjoyed by other races and they are going to play their part by demanding these rights. Here is located one of the finest hospitals and sanitariums in the country owned and controlled by Dr H N. Conrad. Several cottages are located in the grounds, fine mineral oils and they also have a corps of Mrs. Rita Society State House The school teachers along with the different organizations among the women are raising money for the improvement of play grounds. Guthrie can well feel proud of her clubs among the women. All are working in perfect harmony—no big "I's" or little "u's" but those who show push and diplomacy are recognized and put forward in places where they can accomplish the greatest good for all. We heard some splendid papers dealing with what the women are doing to secure their political as well as social rights. Guthrie and Logan county colored people are prosperous, happy and doing things. Mrs Harriett V. Asheraff, formerly Miss Anderson, who taught for several years in Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas is now in the employ of the U. S. Agricultural Department. She has supervision over the domestic science work in Logan and Oklahoma counties; fifty-four schools in all. She has 103 girls in the garden and canning club and slimy-seven in the poultry club. Twenty three children won prizes in Logan county last fall. Mr. and Mrs. W R Chatman, retired farmers have moved to Guthrie, where they have opened up a first-class modern roaming house. Such an enterprise was needed in Guthrie. They also have an automobile for hire at reasonable rates. Mrs Chatman serves first class meals at the R & H. Cafe—meals like you eat at home. They are kind, hospitable people and you will enjoy your stay with them. OKLAHOMA CITY. Here is another town where the colored people are doing fine, yet they culd do more were it not for the great number of sports of both sexes. We were disgusted to find so many young men and women idlers, yet we found scores of people of the race succeeding in most every line of industry, profession and business. The S. D. Lysons Manufacturing Co., is doing an immense business, of which we will speak more extensively elsewhere in this paper. Our old journalistic friend, Rokcoe Dunjee, editor of the Black Dispatch, is moulding public sentiment for the race and fighting for the rights of the race in a manner that commends him to the favorable consideration of every race loving Negro in the country. They can't bluff Dunjee with fail sentences or anything else. The Oklahoma white man will yet learn whom and what he represents. The Trailer and Johnson building is used for a hotel and cafe, one of the finest in the country. The Cotton Hair Growing enterprise is doing fine Prof. Brunner, instructor in the manual training department of the High school has put a new phase on Oklahoma Democrats. He showed them the real manly side of the colored race in politics. He and other colored men put up their cash to assist in electing a Democratic city ticket and since the election had two colored men put on the police and demanded that obnoxious signs be removed from public marks. Prof. Brunner is confident that he can bring good results for the race through that source, and while we doubt it we are willing for he and his friends to try it out. What we want is results. Mr. and Mrs. Braux are creating a large theatre at a cost of several thousand dollars. We are coming. What the colored people want is to be registered to vote in voting proclubs with decent judges and clerks to preside over them. BOLEY. Here is the "Promise Land" of the colored people of Oklahoma. All they need is a Moses to lead them into the "Promise Land" of industry, business and finance. Here is a town where you are just as near Paradise as one would wish to be on this old earth. Here you find everybody happy and attending to their own business. Never heard a cross word during the forty eight hours we remained in the town On Sunday afternoon at the Masonic Temple, we addressed something like four hundred people and organized a local branch of the Kansas Defense Society Postmaster C. L. Simmons chiefman, called the meeting to order. Here is a man that really is a man sent from God to help this race. He is one of the best postmasters in the State of Oklahoma. The people who patronize the office love, honor and respect him and will die by him if necessary. He is honest and has the courage to stand up for what he believes to be right. We have never addressed a more earnest and enthusiastic crowd during our whole life. What Boley wants is a National bank with money behind it that will back and boost Boley and her farming community. Her farmers need to be educated on raising dairy cattle. A bank that will encourage the merchants to carry larger stock of various kinds of merchandise to draw the colored trade from white towns; build up and encourage public improvements. A bank with private boxes for private papers. There are enough farmers around Boley to capitalize a bank, of one hundred thousand dollars. They have one and need another with new ideas, with younger blood to make to make of that country what it ought to be. The colored people own ten miles square, the garden spot of Oklahoma. They have a depot agent, telegraph operator, telephone exchange, bank, large stores, mayor and council, all colored. A large number of whites and Indians trade here but none reside within her confines. Mrs. N. B. Berry owns the hotel and has just opened up a fine cafe in the Masonic Temple. We have never seen anything to equal it and the service is first-class. Keep your eye on Boley. CLEARVIEW. Here is a little town controlled by colored people; a farming community. They have a church college that is doing fine. The postmistress, Mrs M E. Doggett, is one of the best and most efficient in the state. She has the support and respect of the entire community. WELEETA. Here we found everybody working Mrs. R. A. Tucker owns and conducts the Cottage Hotel, a fine place. People going to Holly transfer at this point and make the Cottage headquarters. She has been awarded the premium on pickling and preserving fruits and vegetables which keep for years. She has been requested to prepare some stuff for exhibition at the next county fair. Mr. G. Fitch, the shoemaker, is doing good as usual. There are several colored tenant farmers in this vicinity who are doing well. OKMULGEE Here is where the colored people are controlling several good brick business blocks and doing fine. Mr. Wallace, the druggist has just completed a fine building for the theatrical and motion picture entertainments at a cost of several thousand dollars. Here we addressed a fine audience in behalf of the Kansas Defense Society. Attorney Wallace was chairman of the meeting. He is a man who always championed the cause of the Negro's rights. We were sorry to learn of the serious illness of his wife and also the loss of his house by fire. The race believes in him. The pastor for the A. M. E. church where the meeting was held is a yung man full of energy with a Christian spirit and plenty of race pride. His name is J. N. B. Wall. Prof. Fort acted as secretary. He is principal of the schools and doing splendid work to elevate the schools and the race. Mr. S. B. Brooks has purchased a home, 709 E. Lafayette, where he is conducting the El Castro Cigar factory. He and his wife are mourning the loss of their only child, a boy who died a few months ago. SAPULPA. Here si where the colored people are moving upward Dr. McCoy Johnson, a lady physician has erected a two story modern brick business building She enjoys a large practice. She is full of energy and a widow with two beautiful daughters in college Mr. and Mrs S L James are erecting a fine brick store building. We visited Prof Dav's school and found everything doing nice s. Dr. Humphrey is still on top and doing nicely. Our friend, H T. Hutton had just left for Muskogue to take unto himself a bride, Miss Elliott, of that city. BOYNTON. The scores of colored farmers in and around this twon are doing fine. Dr. Penny, the physician, owns a drug store and enjoys a lucrative practice. This town also has a grocery, restaurant and blacksmith shop Dr. I. I. McCarthy, the finest veterinary surgeon in the country lives in this place. His practice extends far and near. He owns good property. The Doctor sacrificed some of his valuable time to take us around in his car to see our subscribers, and we found everybody doing something. Mr S R Roney, owner of the People's Drug Store, owns good real estate, has a growing business and is doing fine. He has a son serving his country in France. Mr H O Johnson still conducts one of the best hotels in Oklahoma MUSKOGEE. We found the race on a sort of a stand still—not as much pop in them as in years gone by. There are no now additions in business and but few changes. Too many who men live in this town who have but little visible means of support. Look out for the breakers! Mr. Haywood Flipkins and wife are doing fine. They formerly lived in Kansas City, Kansas and now own the head of hogs and have several cows Attorney D. A Lee owns good property. He is a thorough race man and believes in all men up and no man down. He has a splendid practice. RENTIESVILLE. Here is a little town with splen. did prospects if the younger men would take hold The finest lands in the state are around this town. Prof. Brinson and wife conduct the postoffice and a grocery store. Mr. and Mrs. Iverson own a fine grocery, restaurant and hotel. She is one of the finest cooks in the land. Her salmon coquets and hot buttered biscuits melt in ones mouth. One of the largest threshing outfits and gins in the state is owned by H. O. Frederick. He also owns over 280 acres of land, well improved and plenty of stock. He wants to see colored farmers come in and buy up the land as he says too many renters is not good for the race or community. Dr. Derham is the physician and enjoys a good practice. Mr. E. H. Warren operates a small mill grinding chop, corn meal and feed. Three churches furnish spiritual food for the inhabitants of this town. Attorney Franklin enjoys a splendid practice. He knows the law. This town is an exclusive colored place. Here you find a few good stores surrounded by a substantial farming district. We visited the Orphans Home and State School for the beaf, Dumb and Blind colored children of Oklahoma. We were shown through the institution by Prof J R Johnson. The large, commodious, well kept brick buildings that dot the five hundred acres of rich land are solitude proof of Oklahoma's generosity to the fortunate within her gates. The crop on these broad acres looks fine and consists of everything. The horses hogs, cattle, pete, are the closest to be had and their looks plainly tell of the splendid care they receive daily. Over 150 clean, bright, happy children are being care for at this. Since he took hold four years ago he has charged 181 who had passed the age limit. He is as kind to these children as if they were his own. They love, honor and respect him, and he encourages them by paying them for whatever extra work they may do. He and his estimable wife occupy the administration building which is their residence. Mrs Johnson is a fine housekeeper and occupies the position of domestic science teacher and her work is so thorough that most of the little girls from eight years up can cook a good meal. We were given a fine supper which we so greatly enjoyed that we will be glad to visit the institution at any time, especially about meal ttime. The governor and board of administration have so much confidence in Prof. Johnson's ability to do things that they have turned the home for incorrigible girls over to him. This new brick building will be turned over to him for management July 1. He will appoint a man and wife to assist in managing this new institution which is much needed. We spoke to several people both men and women concerning the management of this institution by Prof. Johnson, and all declared that he could not be excelled, that there was not a white man at the head of no similar institution who could surpass him. He is a beacon light for them all. Dr. Ed Morrison, the druggist, and also one of the finest surgeons in the state is doing nicely. Mr Thomas Henry, daughter and son are doing a fine grocery business. The young people took us out in the country in their car thereby assisting The Plaindender to garner a few of the outstanding sheckels due us in this community. Mr Dinwiddle and wife conduct a grocery store and are doing a fine business. Wm Saunders owns the lumber yard and soda water company. He is progressive and doing a good business. LANGSTON Prof J. M Murcosa invited us to ride over to Langston from Guthrie in his big touring car. We left at 3 15 and at 4 15 we were on the campus of Langston University fourteen miles from Guthrie. Here we found an institution taking on new life since the new president took hold. The legislature doubled the appropriation gave them a new dormitory and several thousand dollars from a new laundry. The institution looks bright. Prof Marques wants Langston to be the bachelor college of higher education as well as industrial training. We think the time will come when the state will be compelled to divorce the two. There should be one first class college for nothing save to prepare the young people for professional and scientific education. Everybody is saving Prof Marques is the right man in the right place and he is getting results. Everybody has sheathed their swords and singing "there aint going to be no more war" which we were proud to hear Langston has a few strong hounds of farmers around and all go to the white man's town. There is no reason why Langston should not grow and prosper --- LAWRENCE, KANSAS. Lawrence Kansas We shineley extend our thanks to the many friends of our son and brother, Bodd Harper, for the kindness and sympathy shown during his accident and death; also for the many beautiful floral offerings. We thank especially his Kansas City, friends Mr. and Mrs Wm Harper and family Mrs Royal Harper, Mr and Mrs Ike Mil ASSAULT STORY A "FRAME-UP" White Woman Accuses Son of Wealthy Negro of Serious Crime - Atty. Scott Wins Case at Preliminary The Kansas Defense Society wishes to direct the attention of the readers of The Plaindealer to one of their attorneys who is a fighter, and who is a race man from start to finish, which is proven by his uncompromis-conduct before the courts. The Hon. Ellsha Scott, a young man who stands up before the courts and defends the rights of his clients, whether white or black, does it in such a brave, hold, courageous manner that it has won him the admiration and respect of those who would step out of their way to hinder the progress of the colored people. Mr. Scott is well versed in law and when he takes a case, he knows what he is going to do and how to do it. Last week Mr. Scott defended Arthur Anderson, a colored youth and son of a wealthy farmer residing near Topeka, who had been charged by the husband of Iva Mullinix with making a criminal assault upon her. The case was tried before Judge Rad Lee in the Court of Topeka. The woman was placed on the stand and by her own testimony cleared the defendant of the charge. It is said by parties who heard the testimony that JOHN H. HARRIS HON. ELISHA SCOTT she did not give the same answer to a question no matter how many times it was asked. It is also said that Judge Lee became so disujusted that in dismissing the case he was rather strong in his denunciation of the woman and her husband. County Attorney Fisher told the court that there was nothing to the case and that he was willing to have it dismissed The whole thing in a nut shell is this Young Anderson's father owns and farms 250 acres of the best land that community which joins the rented farm of this white man and his wife. This spring the Andersons purchased the rented farm on which his white neighbor was strung, which laid the ground work for the serious crime being charged against the elder Anderson's son. This shows the method of a certain class of white people who will resort to any method to down a colored man who is succeeding. This case is similar to a million more which have been put off on the colored man, where he has lost his life, been driven from his home and his property confiscated by just such a class of whites as the in the case. I frank Dremming, a white lawyer was employed to assist Mr Scott but it seems that he withdrew from the case because he did not care to be associated with a colored lawyer in a case where the client was black and the plaintiff white. And too, colored people have been the victims of such "frame ups" so often that he probably thought the complaining witness would further disgrieve the white race, which they did, and we guess under the circumstances we should give Mr Dremming credit for using good judgment and not assist Scott showed in this case that he equal to the task in anything he tackles, by securing an acquittal at the preliminary. He went right after the plaintiff and made of her a good witness for his client. The trial was fair and impartial from start to finish, and we must compliment both Judge Lee and County Attorney Fisher STILL THE RANSOM MONEY COMES TO DEFENSE SOCIETY Winfield Donates Money Raised for Peace Conference Delegate to the Soldiers Accused of Rioting in Houston, Texas. The Kansas Defense Society is in receipt of $25.50 from the local so- city at Winfield, of which Mr. Frank Montgomery is president. This sum represents part of the money sent the Price $1.50 Per Year Rev. J. R. Ranson for a trip to France. When the Kansas Defense Society assumed the responsibility of fighting the case of the forty-two soldiers sentenced to prison for life for participation in the Houston, Texas riot, they engaged the services of Hon. Turner W. Bell, of Leavenworth; Hon. Elisha Scott, of Topeka and Hon. E. T Barbour, of ElReno, Oklahoma. This case was brought up before Judge Pollock a few days ago. It is expected the case will go before the United States supreme court before a final decision is rendered in their favor. The people were under the impression when the case was taken up that nothing could be done, but everything is looking bright and before long these boys will be restored to their place in the army. We would like for everybody who contributed to the Ransom fund to send their money to the Kansas Defense Society to help fight not only this case, but all others in which the colored race falls to secure a square deal THE INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE DEDICATES A NEW GYM. Educators and Prominent People of the City Take Part in Opening of Commodious Hall. The Topkai Industrial and Educational Institute was a busy place Saturday afternoon of last week between 5 and 6 o'clock, when the new gymnasium hall was dedicated. The event was well attended by the teachers and other leading citizens of Tonka and was marked for its simplicity in arrangements. The large room was decorated with beautiful forms for the occasion. While the gaily dressed crowd socialized and inspected the new hall, the Institute orchestra led by Prof. L. Jackson, played sweet strains of music. At 6 o'clock a few contests were staged. Harold Brown won in both the fifty and one hundred yard dash after which seven little girls so successfully made a chain and then skinned the snake. This greatly pleased the audience. At 7 o'clock the guests were abundantly served with sand, wiches, salads, ice cream, cake and coffee. Interesting after dinner talks were made by the following. Miss Cora Bennett, Prof Fred Roundtree, Mrs. Ezekial Ridley, Miss Ada Wallis, Miss Mattie Perkins and Prof John L Harrison. Others present were: Prof and Mrs N Sawyer, Prof, and Mrs. Fred Roundtree, Miss Eula Ridley, Miss Edna Ware, Miss Effie Burge, Miss Ruth Ridley, Miss Thelma Wilkerson, Mrs. P Mason, Miss Elizabeth Pennington, Miss O Grant, Miss Minnie Jones, Mrs Angle DePriest, Miss Rubie McKnight, Miss Emma Ellene Cooper, Miss Katherine Barket, Prof, and Mrs. Dewitt Bailey, Miss Nelle Ellisa Watkins, Mr. and Mrs H. I. Monroe and Rev. and Mrs. Alonzo Bowling, of Chicago --- CHANUTE HELPS IN FIGMY FOR IMPRISONED SOLDIERS. Mrs. Dolle Travis Does Splendid Work for Defense Society. Mrs. Dollie Travis, o fChanute, Kansas is to be congratulated for the splendid work she has done in arranging a meeting for the organizing of a local branch of the Kansas Defense Society. She is one of the Strong women of the race and is doing much for the advancement of her sex. We wish her continued success. CHETOPA, KANSAS.

LODGE MEMBERS HONOR The members of Patterson Temple gave a reception on Tuesday afternoon in honor of their Worthy Princess, Mrs. Rosa Lee Williams at her residence, 1328 Quincy street. The rooms were beautifully decorated with the lodge colors. Mrs Edna Williams and Mrs Ola E Hale, presided at the piano Mrs. Williams was presented with a lovely electric lamp by the members of her Temple. Mrs Louise Russell made the following address: Little did we think when six years and three days ago when a few sisters met in one of our sister's home in a friendly council that much good would spring out of that meeting. But such was so, for out of it Patterson Temple No 28 was organized and after having organized it we locked among us for someone to preside over us so we elected her to serve until the election time, which was in December. After having served so faithfully those eight months we reelected her to serve us another year. And so from year to year we have elected her and now comes her sixth year of servitude, love and devotion to us, and we the members in turn have been proud of her; proud to know that in her we have a State Grand Officer; proud to know that we are six years old today and have a membership of forty-eight loving sisters who after having put our heads together, decided that we would show her that it is a poor rule that doesn't work both ways; so we speed her on her journey with a token of our love and esteem to her as an beacon light looking ever onward and upward to that light which burst forth from the tomb one April morn. Her way probably has not been one of sunshine for these are always clouds we know, but behind a frowning Providence, God hides a smiling face. We are all climbing up the rough side of the mountain for as Christians we can't go to heaven on flowery beds of ease. So let us adopt this motto and smile awhile and while we smile another smiles and soon there are miles and miles of smiles and life's worth while because we smile. REV.
