The Kansas Defense Society Needs Money to aid the Soldiers in Their Fight for Liberty. The Twenty-First Year. SCOTT AND. DU BOI WHEN Two Brilliant Leaders to Accomplish B Race Get Awa SCOTT AND. DU BOIS FAIL WHEN PUT TO REAL TEST Two Brilliant Leaders Let Opportunity to Accomplish Big Things for the Race Get Away from Them. We note with much amusement the controversy between Editor Dullois and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, assistant to the Secretary of War, as to what each accomplished for the good of the colored soldiers, nurses and all other members of the race who participated in the World War. We can see no use of the controversy, as we suppose each did all he knew how to do to assist in bringing about good result. Both could have done more had they possessed real backbone and the many courage to have spoken up to the powers that be against the discrimination practiced against the colored commissioned officers, surgeons and nurses here as well as in France. They never came within one hundred miles of being treated fairly by the War Department; not even the privates were ever considered save only by the French. Dr. Dulfolk was too busy looking after a commission from the War Department at that particular time to do effective work, and trying to get over into France on the presence of setting the American colored man before the peace council. He recommended that a meeting be held either in Baltimore or Washington to select a delegation to go to Paris and appear before the peace conference and place the outrages of the American white man upon the colored citizens of America before that body. Dulfolk switched when President Wilson gave Moton, of Tuskegee a commission to go over and tell the colored troops to not to forget their raising in America, and not let the good treatment they were receiving at the hands of the French turn them around so they would not know their place when they returned to America, but to be prepared to acknowledge their inferiority to the American white man as soon as they set foot upon American soil. The thoughts of Moton being the first man of his race to be thus selected to go to France was more than DuBoise culd stand, so he honey-suckled around some white man for a passport under the pretense that he was more interested in German-Africa than his outraged brothers of America, he succeeded in getting a chance to go over. He called it the Pan-African conference, but we have yet to hear what was accomplished. We know one thing, DuBoise has secured enough information to return home to barter and sell as most of our would-be leaders are doing. Now as to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, we never expected much of him because he lived South all of his days, and always had to "skin 'em back" to cause the white man to produce the cash for the cause he has espoused for years, that was and is assisting the late Booker and his successors in securing shekels for Tuskegee. That caused Emmett to make it appear to the ordinary plug white man that he (the white man) is superior to his black brother, and should he looked up to Emmett has played this so often that he himself really believes it is true. But If Mr. Scott would only glance back over the two hundered or more years of free labor his race was forced to perform for the American white man, he would find that the debt totals more than white America can ever pay. The outrages heaped upon the race stand second to none in the world's history of torture and humiliation, and every black man, woman and child should stand up, look the white man squarely in the face and say, "You and yours owe us every decent consideration that is due a human help." Emmett, like DuBois and a host of other so called leaders, is looking for a feather bed upon which to light; and is now getting out a book showing what great things the soldier boys accomplished. We venture the assertion that he will not produce a single order from the War Department suggested by him demanding that outrages heaped upon our boys here or in France, he discontinued, but he could if his courage would permit, produce orders issued reducing most every commissioned colored officer in rank and assisting them to irresponsible positions, or preventing them from eating in the same cafe or talking to the civilians of the towns. We do not believe scott, or DuBois are as much concerned about the race as their are about their own prosperity which they seek to enhance by serving as a go-between-setting on the lid and holding the race back. If Mr. Scott and Mr. DuBois would look back from whence they came and doting too much on their fine learning, and see how many colored people they are employing or cause to be employed, how many business concerns they have started aside from those on paper, the boys would discover that their total asset consists of burg power, classics, and imaginary advice. What colored America needs at this time is dders, not talkers. The race should be taught the science of government, true manhood and economics. Most of our educa- The Kansa tors of self-appointed leaders soon forget the log cabin, their birthplace and those who are following them from the same place as soon as they get a smattering of education or a gift of gab, and neglect to look back and extend the hand of uplift to their unfortunate brother who is plodding along trying to reach them but seldom gets any help or encouragement. The time is now at hand for Scott and Dulloise to get together and start to accomplish something that the race can really see, feel and appreciate. We are not interested in who should be the biggest man in words but in deeds. Scott and Dullocks have lot the opportunity of a life time to accomplish something big for the race slip completely through their figures making it a well developed case of the pot and the kettle. Both have erred and the race must suffer for same, so why add to the suffering by "making fatter" at each other through the newspapers. Shake boys, and caller off and lets all join hands in one arm rush for uplift and advance putt. NICK CHILLS.

Plaindealer PIONEER TOPEKAN MEETS TRAGIC END PIONEER TOPEKAN MEETS TRAGIC END --- Mr. Albert Hall Killed at Wichita by a Speeding Motorist. Relatives and a host or good, warm personal friends paid a last tribute of respect to a grand old man Saturday of last week, when with bowed heads and heavy hearts they followed the remains of Mr. Albert Hall to its final resting place in Mt. Auburn cemetery. Mr. Hall was a pioneer mechanic and business man, settling in Topeka in 1860, and was one of the best and most favorably known men of his race in the city. Mr. Hall was a machinist by trade which vocation he followed until his demise with the exception of a few years when he conducted "The American," one of the largest steam laundries in Topeka. The death of Mr. Albert Hall came as a shock and surprise to the entire community. He had been employed as Wichitta by the railroad company for nine months and Thursday night left work at 12.00 o'clock and as he hurried to catch the last car, he was run down by a speeding auto. The motorist carried no lights nor did he stop, but dragged his victim a half block. The injured man was picked up by an ambulance and hurried to a hospital but did on the way. His ribs were broken, chest injured, and a gush cut in the back of his head. Bits of broken glass showed that the wind shield, lights, etc., on the car were badly damaged yet it has been impossible so far, to apprehend the friend who could be so cruel and inhuman. People of both races who knew Mr. Hall were stunned and bowed their heads in sorrow when the news of the horrible affair went out over the city. He was an nightlight, sober, honest, industrious citizen and above all, the best natured man we have ever known. He possessed a disposition as sweet as a child always pleasant, agreeable and jolly. He never placed his own woes and sorrows at the feet of others, but bore whatever came in silence, carrying only brightness and sunshine before his friends. Mr. Hall loved his family and no sacrifice was too great for him to make to promote their welfare and happiness. He was a firm believer in the possibilities of his race along all lines of endeavor and would go out of his way to lend assistance to institutions conducted by his people. Mr. Hall was born in Milton, Tenn. Dec. 26, 1856, and wethered the storms of that peroid, and through his own efforts gained a good education and made a useful man. Funeral services were held from the home he loved dearly at 921 East Tenth street. Mr. Hall is survived by his widow, six daughters, Mrs. Alberta Anderson, Topeka; Mrs. Beryl Porter, of Chicago; Miss Georgia Hall, a graduate nurse, who is an assistant in the general hospital in Kansas City, Mo.; Miss Lottie Hall, of Topeka; Miss Geneva Hall of Topeka, and Miss Cleo Hall, of Topeka; four sons, Oscar S. Hall, instructor in Western university, Quindaro, Kansas; Leon Hall, who is with the arms and is still in France; Gerald Hall of Topeka, and Raymond Hall, of Topeka. Mr. Hall also leaves to grandchildren VINITA. OKLAHOMA. One of the most enjoyable parties of the season was the one given Monday evening by Meadames Ryan and Davis, in honor of Mrs. C.

B. F. and S. M. T. lodges, hurried about Toucha yesterday among his friends and members of the order, and as usual, everybody had a glad hand for the Reverend. When asked about his health he replied: "I have too much work among my oppressed people to get sick. In all of my career I have never felt better in my life. I have something to inspire me, something to live for." The women and men of the order met their chieftain in joint session at their hall and rendered a护证 that is a credit to the local officers and members. CORNATION OF OSOLIETA WAS A THING OF MERIT The Round About club of Saint John A. M. E. church presented the "Coronation of Queen Osolleta" at the High school auditorium last evening in the person of Miss Helen Forbes. Miss Forbes was the successful contestant among seven. She was charmingly gowned in a peach satin costume with train extending from the shoulders, and which was carried by two attendants. While ascending the throne, Miss Forbes received many outbursts of applause. She is a graduate of Washburn college, and an exceptionally high-class young lady, and very deservingly merited the queenship. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Forbes. Miss Josephine Reaves presented a synopsis of Osolleta's early life in a very pleasing manner. This was one of the best programs ever presented to the Topeka public and was worthy of the presence of the country's most cultured and refined people. Mrs. Cyrene G. Galanes is president of the Round About club and Miss Cora Bennett is secretary. HONOR TO A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT Topeka is getting to be a metropolitan city, and we want to praise the honorable Mayor and commissioners for their appointment of Mr. Kirk K. Pinkston, as park police at Gage's, one of the finest parks in the state, and we have no hesitancy in saying that the entire public will be satisfied with his services. Mr. Pinkston is one of the oldest and most competent police officers that ever carried a club. He was appointed patrolman under the old metropolitan system by Mr. P, I, Bonebrake, Feb 7th, 1895. He is commonly called "Pink" and has served Topeka 24 years and three months and the pages of his clean, honest record glow with many meritorious achievements in the discharge of his duty. Most of the people can recall the grave robbing affair that caused one of the sennations of that day and time and how "Pink" apprehended perpetrators and put an end to that sort of business. He was one of the chief's volunteers to assist in rescuing people in the North Topeka flood, remaining there for ten days. He also rescued five people from the Copeland Hotel fire by climbing three stories on a fire escape. He apprehended the postoffice robber) in Kelley store of 185 and returned the money back. About six months ago "Pink" held up two burglaries in an alley at 1 a.m. after they had robbed a grocery store, relieved them of a 38 caliber revolver. They were convicted of the crime. Finkston has tusselled with thousands of drunks when the "bottoms" were in full bloom. He has met more people than any one man in the city by being selected each year to kiae care of the great traffic at the free fair. He is the father of the Apex Theatre, and for four years was president of the company. He is a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellow lodges and has the respect and best wishes of the men and women of his race which is proven by the fact that his advice is often sought by them on matters of vital importance. His highest achievement however, is the raising of nine children and giving four sons to the government. BROWN CHAPEL NOTES. The local members and friends of the church again went over the top at the third quarterly meeting, May 25th. Owing to unforeseen circumstances Presiding Elder H. D Harris was unable to be present on Sunday, but was with us Wednesday evening to hold quarterly conference. The Rev. Jones, of Mt. Olive M. E church preached the sacramental sermon which was an able effort. The amount raised for the Sunday was $75.00...The ladies' Aid Society presented the church with a beautiful silver communion set, and collection plate. The officers and members certainly feel grateful to the president, Mrs. Jane Williams and members of the society for such a useful and much needed gift. Adah D.
