PROTEST TO GENERAL M FOX BRINGS Kansas Defense Society Service in Eating Purcell, Okla PROTEST TO GENERAL MANAGER FOX BRINGS GOOD RESULTS Kansas Defense Society Secures Better Service in Eating Houses at Purcell, Oklahoma. The Kansas D ```markdown ``` Topeka, Kansas, March 24, 1919. General Manager Fox, Santa Fe Railway Co., Topeka. Dear Sir: The Kansas Defense Society washes to call your attention to the outrages perpetrated upon colored passengers in the dining room at Purcell, Oklahoma. Colored passengers are requested to go to the kitchen and it is certainly humiliating to know that colored soldiers returning from France where they fought for democracy, are pointed to the kitchen of public eating houses and at the same time must pay the same price as white soldiers who are welcomed and rushed into the dining rooms. We call your attention to this because we know that you are a big hearted, honest business man who believes in giving everybody a square deal. As we do not care to go into court to defend our rights, we will be compelled to do so if these outrages are continued. The laws of Oklahoma require equal accommodations for white and colored passengers but as colored passengers do not receive such treatment, we there fore appeal to you. Very truly yours. Editor Topeka Plaindealer and President Kansas Defense Society. --- Topeka. Kaa, March 29, 1919. Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor. The Tojeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir. This will serve as ac knowledgegment yours 24th. In regard to complaints at Purcell, Oklahoma. Matter will be investigated as quickly as possible. In the mean- time, wish to thank you for calling my attention to it. Yours truly. --- Newton, Kas, April 20, 1919. Hon, Nick Chiles, Editor, The Times, Plaindealer The Topeka, Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: Referring to the segregation in the Harvey eating house at Purcell, Okla. there has been a place prepared; a part of the lunch counter for colored passengers, which they highly appreciate, and I don't forget to inform them that all credit is due you for better service for our people. Yours for success. SAMUEL RIDLEY. ILLINOIS LAWMAKER AN INTERESTING SPEAKER Representative Warren B. Douglass, of Chicago, Brought a Message to Kansas and Kansas. Topekans who failed to hear Hon. Warren B. Douglass at Mt. Carmel Baptist church Friday evening of last week missed a very rare treat. Mr. Douglass is a Chicago lawyer, and was elected to the legislature from the Second district on the Republican ticket by a large majority. In the primary he had six opponents, four white and two colored, and received over 5,000 votes. He has fulfilled every campaign pledge, thus paving the way for a seat in the next congress, having already announced his intention to make the race. 1 Mr. Douglass is no stranger to Kansas, while this was his first visit to Topeka, he received the thirty-third and last degree in college work at Western University, being a class mate of Mr. Geo, K. Williams, who introduced him to the small but appreciative audience. Mr. Douglass spoke along general lines, dealing with conditions as they confront the race today, giving cause, effect and remedy. His appeal was free from that touch of school boy oratory so often found in young men just starting in public life, but teemed with logic and he drove home the facts in such a forebible manner that his hearers sat as though dazed or in a dream. They were liberal with their amplause and at the close of the meeting rushed forward eager to grasm the hand of this young Moses. He is an intellectual giant and able to hold his own before any body of men, and some time in the close fu- Toveka ture we hope to have him with us again when all Topeka will have an opportunity to give him the reception he so richly deserves. While in the city Mr. Douglass was the guest of his friend, Mr. George K. Williams. ASK DIRECTOR GENERAL Charging receipt of information that the Director General of the United States Railroad Administration had issued an order discriminating against Negroes in the sale of tickets, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on June 8th addressed an inquiry to Walker D. Hines, director general, demanding "in the name of United States citizenship" the immediate rescinding of the order, if it had been issued. The letter to Mr. Hines is as follows: We have been informed that for some time past officers of the Railroad Administration have been discriminating against purchasers of railroad tickets for third parties who were colored The United States Railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, refused to sell to the Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of the Antloch Baptist church of that city, a ticket from Madison, Ala., to Cleveland, Ohio, which Mr. Bailey desired to send to his daughter Mrs. Lottie Beadle. The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket saying that an order had been issued by the Director General against such practice on the ground that it was "encouraging colored labor to come North." We wish to inquire whether such an order has been issued by the Director General. Should it have been issued we wish to protest to you in the name of our 220 branches and 57,000 members of both races in 30 states against such an unwarranted invasion of the constitutional rights of individuals. Such an order would constitute an intolerable tyranny and we demand, in the name of United States citizenship, that if it has been issued it be rescinded at once. SAINT LOUIS PRINTER DEAD.

TROTTER IS DOING THINGS IN FRANCE Editor Boston Guardian Only Man to Present Cause of Race Before Peace Conference One of the eleven delegates elected by vote of 14,000,000 Colored Americans has reached his goal, the field of international fame, a beacon light of hope to reckon with the world court as a petitioner against the national wrongs done to our race. In the same spirit that our brave colored soldiers made lasting record in defeating Germany. It is proper that the delegates should defeat the American prejudice at Versailles Mr. Wm. M. Trotter, editor of The Guardian means to save the fruits of colored soldiers. He is in France. Our dreams have come true and our doubts have banished away. His trip is a secret but purpose is published in eight French papers according to the last cablegram. In the same cablegram he states that he is interviewing the delegates of the World Court, and that a clause protecting the rights of colored Americans has gone on record. This step is the crowning Victory of Mr. Trotter's life. His long fight for equality of rights in America was a school of heroism. With this fearless leader in France, before the World Court, our anthem now is "On to Victory." Three cablegrams which the Boston Guardian received show the course our delegate is pursuing to secure equal justice for the colored people in the United States. He wishes the National Congress to reconvene at Washington. It is easier for us colored Americans to do their full duty here than it is for our delegate to do his duty at the World Court. The Irish and Jews are working hard. Colored Americans can do the same thing. Our victory against proscription and lynching is sure if colored Americans will continue to do their part at home. The cablegrams read: (1) May 11, 1919. The Guardian, Cornhill, Boston. Arrived in Paris Wednesday. Sent Protest to Versailles. Campaign has begun. Tell Mother and publish this -TROTTER (2) May 24. 1919. Guardian, Cornhill Paris column article on front page of the Lavernr. You mimeograph colored press. Cable me briefs, interviewing delegates.

Glasscox, died at the home, 901 W. Fourth street. She had been sick for the past two years, her affliction being a form of throat trouble, her husband is the only surviving relative.

Reading aloud around the family circle, of an evening on rainy days and on Sundays is a pleasant pastime. Read your lessons over aloud, this is very helpful to school children. The reading hour is a quiet hour, and one accumulates much knowledge as each reading is held. In reading, outside of school books, one should choose good, high-class books. In this way one can acquire a love for higher literature and a better understanding of it. To be a good reader requires much practice. You must pronounce each word correctly. Read just as if you were talking or telling a story. Do not read too fast. Try to read so that each word can be understood. Avoid a drawing harsh, mouthing, rumbling, sleepy, faltering tone of voice. Try, without being bashful, to acquire a clear, melodious, flexible, round, winning open, agreeable, natural tone. Read the contents of this corner to the home folks. --- THE CHERRY. The cherry is supposed to have been derived from two species of wild fruit, and historians tell us that we are indebted to the agricultural skill of Mithradates the great king of ancient Pontus, for this delicious fruit. Mithradates was the formidable enemy of Rome who could carry on a conversation in twenty-two different languages. The cherry is a native of Asia Minor. There are several kinds of cherries, some are black or almost, some are red and some are yellow with red blush. We mostly think of cherries as being red. Varieties of cherries, like other fruit, are originated and given a name which will distinguish them from other varieties. Some odd names of cherries are Bling, Dyehouse, May Duke, Paul and Royal App. When we talk about cherry trees we always think of the father of our country. George Washington, who as a boy cut down his father's cherry tree. And the best part of the story is that he did not disown cutting the tree down. Not all boys or girls either, would have been so honest. Everyone who has a home should have a herry tree, and if they own a farm a little cherry orchard would be nice. Cherry trees come in to hearing early. And who doesn't like cherry pie. There are 5 500 000 people in the United States including men, women and children, who can neither read nor write. Wise men and women claim that this is a greater reflection upon the government than upon the uneducated themselves. Still there are a few boys and girls who do not go to school where they have an opportunity, and some are absent from school without a good cause. Good boys and girls should not neglect their school work. --- How many words can you make out of "Washington," not using one letter more times than it occurs in the word Washington.

ATTORNEY BELL MAKES PLEA FOR RELEASE OF SOLDIERS A special from Leavenworth to the Touneka Daily Capital says: "T. W. Bell, colored, noted as a haibae corpus attorney, went to Kansas City, Kan., today to argue on a writ for the release of the forty-one former Negro soldiers, confined in the United States penitentiary for their alleged connection with the Houston riots in November, 1917. Thirteen of the colored soldiers were hanged and the others sent in here on long sentences. "It is claimed in the petition that the court martial that tried them was not legally designated and organized and that the soldiers were convicted without sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction. Judge John C. Pollock set today (Friday) for a hearing of the arguments but is not expected to render a decision for some time. COMMON SENSE VIEW OF THE RACE QUESTION Missouri Editor is Willing to Meet the Issue Squarely. One of the fairest and squarest men in America when it comes to dealing with the race question, is the editor of the Evening Missourian, published at Columbia, Mo. In the issueHHH at Columbia, Mo. He sizes the matter up like a full grown man and is ready and willing to give the black American every consideration that is justly due him under the law and constitution. In a recent issue the Missourian said: "The Negro problem has ever been a problem of the United States. But now as a problem of reconstruction it assumes large proportions. The Negroes as a class are restless. They are beginning to feel keenly their lack of social, industrial and educational advantages. The war is not the direct cause for this but it is the immediate cause of its manifestations. The majority of Negroes going into the army were illiterate and unused to any social or moral restraint. Living the daily military life of exercise of both mind and body they have changed from indolent idlers to energetic workers and thinkers. Those who have come back from camps overseas and at home have not gone back to their pre-war existence. It is clearly shown in the case of the Negro soldier that the right kind of life leaves its imprint just as strongly as the wrong kind. "The United States must take some attitude on the Negro question. The general attitude of the country has been changed by the display of patriotism and loyalty of the Negro in this war but the country must take some concrete action. "Two courses may be pursued. The Negro may be either made entirely a servant or the Negro may be made the object of a nation-wide campaign for betterment of the Negro race. The latter is the only plausable course. Even those people who feel a strong race prejudice against the Negro will see the saneness of the latter course. It is only after the Negro has been given a fair chance along industrial, political, social, educational and religious lines that he will return that fair chance to us. We are being faced by the facts—we can no longer regard the Negroes as negative factors in our Government, our industries, our schools and our churches. "The first two steps in the betterment of the Negro race are the efforts to see the better side of the Negro character and life and to see that the Negro gets the proper education. Before the Negro can adjust himself to modern life and thought he must know what modern life and thought is. "Steve have been taken to help the black man but they will not succeed without the cooperation and work of the white man."
