Great Order Will Meet in Annual Session. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor will meet in their twenty-eighth annual grand session at Hutchinson, Kansas, Tuesday morning, July 8th. The order has made wonderful progress, with something like five thousand members including the juveniles who also carry beneficial claims. The grand officers have been delgent in pursuing the interest of the order notwithstanding the flu and other dreadful epidemics. The Order has maintained its financial dignity by paying every claim that came up against it. While several similar organizations of whites have had to consolidate or go out of business, the members of the Taborian order should feel proud of their grand officers for the diligent and careful service rendered the order during these strenuous times. It is an honor to the colored race to have it said that their secret organizations pay out thousands of dollars to dependents every year to be able to survive after a world's war, pestilence and diseases. This shows the race is moving up fast and will soon take a front seat in the ranks where prejudice and hatred reigned for centuries past. Hutchinson is preparing to make this one of the best meetings in the history of the Order, this being the first grand session of the knights and Daughters to Fabor ever held there. The following are the grand of- Rev. Sir Frank Wilson, C. G. M. Dtr. Emma Galnes, C. G. P. Sir. A. M. Harrold, V. G. M. Dtr. Lenora Gray, V. G. P. Sir A. W. Hopkins, C. G. S. Dtr. Sarah W. Forbes, C.

Alice Stewart, Legal Ad SEEKING EQUALITY Paris, June 24.—William Trotter, American Negro, is now in Paris seeking to have the Negro question in the United States taken up by the pence conference along with the Irish, Jewish, and other "racial minority" questions. Trotter is seeking unarticularly the support of the British and has given British correspondents long lists of alleged atrocities committed against Negroes in the United States. He cited instances of Negroes being lynched in support of his plea for British aid in bringing the matter before the conference. He is also seeking Japanese sympathy, explaining that Japan and the American Negroes have mutual interests on the grounds of racial equality. The colored people and white of America should be proud of William Trotter of the Boston Guardian, who took it upon himself to go all the way to Paris to place before the Peace Commission the outrages which are being perpetrated upon the colored people of America. He sacrificed considerable to do this of all the other men who preceded him. It looks as though they went to study the history of the country, of the war, and the colored soldiers over there in order to write a book so they could make a few dollars. Mr. Trotter has gone over to place the condition and outrages of the American colored man before each representative of each country. He is also seeking the sympathy of Japan. He is making President Wilson and the representatives of the American Government look very small in the eyes of the civilized nations who are asking for eternal peace and equality for all nations. We presume the President would feel a little ashamed of himself when confronted with these outragous conditions that exist in his own country, and as the same time pointing the finger of acorn at the Kaiser and the German people for committing the same outrages on the Belgians. They will be asking: "Why don't he clean up his own house before making the other fellow to clean up his?" President Wilson has heard the Irish, the Jew, and all other nationalities which appeal to him for help along this question except the colored American, who has begged and prayed with him to use everything at his command to stop these outrages upon his colored American citizens. He has allowed the Southern whites to use every kind of brutality that could be mentioned to check the onward progress of the colored race. The above clipping from cablegram from Paris shows what Mr. Trotter has been doing. Before this war is ended we will be able to pick out who are the real workers and doers of the colored race. All grafters and footpads will soon find their end. DOING GOOD FOR HUMANITY Kansas City Physician is Reducing the Number of "Dope" Fiends. It was a pleasure for us to meet Dr. B. B. Jackson, one of Kansas City, Missouri's leading physicians who has made a specialty of treating people addicted to the use of narcotics. He prescribes to patients in such manner that great numbers are being cured. He says the government is beginning to awaken to the fact that something must be done to save these people from this dreadful habit as well as tubercular and other dreaded diseases. Dr. Jackson called our attention to an article in the June, 1919 issue of the Literary Digest, by Dr. E. S. Bishop, dealing with the drug habit, cause and treatment, etc., setting forth that it is the duty of the various departments of THE NEW YORK TIMES DR. B. B. JACKSON government to see that these people are given proper treatment. Dr. Jackson says this desire is inherited. The victim seeks relief from the pain or sluggishness from some doctor who prescribes something containing a narcotic, after which the patient seeks something stronger to relieve them of that feeling. Now Dr. Jackson is trying to relieve and cure them of something which they have acquired by some physician starting them out by administering unto them the wrong medicine which creates a craving for these deadly drugs. Dr. Jackson is one among the first physicians in the country to discover what to do for these patients and is doing much good for society and humanity. To our surprise we found that nineteenth of his patients are white, who are more or less effected with some kind of disease which require and battle the country's most skilled physicians. If the city officials of Kansas City would consult Dr. Jackson they would be able to accomplish more for the good of society. He is undoubtedly pursuing the proper course in writing prescriptions for these unfortunate creatures, whom the law and society are trying to crush out without knowing what they are about. Some other course must be pursued to help these unfortunate. Maltreating them or placing them in prison will not stop it. Science from the most skilled and learned men must be employed. Dr. Jackson graduated from Mahara Medical College, Nashville, Teun, class of 1909. He is a thoroughbred Kentuckian, a man who loves the human race and calls every man his brother. His heart is filled with human kindness; is public spirited and invests his money in business whereby scores of young people find employment and learn what business means. His heart is in his devoted, Christian and cultured wife and their sweet little angelie daughter, Mary Francis, whom he calls the queen of the household. The little Miss is in her fourth year. Dr Jackson and family reside at their beautiful home on Southwest Boulevard. Rosedale, Kansas. He always has his Cadalac car at their disposal and anything to make them happy. Mrs. Jackson is a lady who is very conservative and much disposed to charity. She loves to help the poor as well as make her husband happy. The image shows a large, stately building with a high roof and multiple windows. It appears to be a historical structure, possibly a mansion or a large estate, given its grand architectural style. The building is surrounded by trees, suggesting it is located in a rural or semi-rural area. The facade of the building is made of stone or brick, and there are columns and a balcony on the front. The windows are tall and rectangular, and the roof is steeply pitched. The building is quite large, with a spacious front yard. BEAUTIFUL HOME NEAR TOPEKA OWNED BY THE KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR—THIS PLACE IS VALUED. AT TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE U. S. GOVERNMENT SIDE-STEPS Director General of Railroads Has no Power in Jim Crow Car Matter Mr. Walter D. Hines, Director General Railroads, Washington, D. C. Washington. Dear Sir: We wish to call your attention to some of the outrages and indignities heaped upon the colored people where jimcrow car laws are allowed to exist. On the date of April 26th, 1919, we boarded train No. 8, M, K and T., at Rentlesville, Okla. The end of this Jimcrow car was occupied by 30 colored passengers, men and women and children. The train was dark as pitch and there was a lot of confusion and screaming among the women on account of this condition. This portion of the car was allowed to remain in this condition for about fifty miles. We protested to the conductor and porter, but they gave no satisfactory reason. At the same time the white section of this same coach used for white men as a smoker was lighted. The train No. was 554, with I. W. Hardy as conductor. Mr. Director General, our organization is against such outrages, and since the Government has control of these roads we cannot see why these conditions should exist, as the Government is supposed to represent the American people. We also wish to call your attention to colored passengers traveling from Kansas City, Mo., to Oklahoma or Texas who are required to change their seats and go into the limcrow car to comply with the law of that state which has a law against white and colored riding together, but any greasy, black Indian, Italian or foreigner can ride anywhere for their money and are not protested for their transaction. If a car load of cattle, hogs, dogs or merchandise is consigned to go from one state to another, no state law can effect them, yet they have been delivered to their assigned destination. Now if dogs and cattle can be protected by interstate commerce laws, why can't the colored people? I would be glad if you would issue orders to protest this evil and not allow interstate passengers to be interfered with or compelled to change cars until they have reached their destination. We have a big white man like you with a big Christian heart and fair mind will proclaim from the house tops that colored people are not being given a square deal along these lines, and who are requested to pay the same fare as the white passenger, yet they deny them the same accommodations or equal qualities as the white man enjoys. No high-class Christian white man will stand for nothing less than the golden rule he entitled to another, as he would to himself. I know you want to see the right thing done by this much abused colored man and give him the same rights as any other race on the railroad. Very respectfully, NICK CHILES, President Kansas Defense Society and Editor The Tonka Plaindealer. Washington, May 12, 1919 Dear Sir, In behalf of the Director General, permit me to acknowledge your letter of May 7th in which you protest against the manner in which colored passengers are treated in the various states where fjimcrow car laws are in effect, calling special attention to conditions which you recently observed on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas train 554 in charge of Conductor Hardy. Your letter is being referred to Mr. Max Thelen, Director, Division of Public Service, for prompt attention. Sincerely yours, BRICE CLAGETT Mr. Nick Chiles, President, Kansas Defense Society, 1129 Kansas Ave, Tonka, Kansas. Washington, June 19, 1919 File No. P18003. File No. P1001 Subject—Treatment of Colored Patients Dear Sir: The investigation of your complaint of May 7th with refer- once to inadequate and unsatisfactory accommodations provided for colored patrons on M. K. and T. train No 8, from Rentlesville, Okla, on April 26th, has been completed. Owing to a derailment, train No 7 was delayed on that date and did not reach Denison, Texas, in time to permit the return of its regular equipment on train No. 8, which is the usual practice. As a result, it was necessary to use such other equipment as was available at Denison. There was a shortage of equipment at this particular time. The cars available were not up to the standard for this train—the accommodations provided for both colored and white passengers on this date being inferior. Upon being interviewed, the conductor states he explained the reason for the unsatisfactory condition of the lights in the colored coach and, further, that every possible effort was made to make things comfortable for the passengers under the circumstances. The coming of Federal control of the railroads did not in any way unset or interfere with the various individual state laws with reference to the transportation of white and colored passengers. The authority vested in the Director General does not therefore, give power to set aside these laws as you suppose and make the change suggested. Yours very sincerely, F. H. H. LAMB Acting Chief, Mr. Nick Chiles President Kansas Defense Society, 1129 Kansas Ave., Topeka, Kansas. CALDWELL, KAN. Rev.

To the officers and members of all Subordinate Lodges in District No. 17, Jurisdiction of the State of Kansas, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows: Greetings. The thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth annual convention will convene in Coffeyville on the third Tuesday in July, 1919, at 9 o'clock a. m., and I hope that each lodge will send a delegate to the District Grand Lodge, as I deem it necessary that all subordinate lodges be represented in order to know what is going on, and, when the delegates return home, that they may be able to tell them how the conditions are, and also be able to explain to their lodge how the Grand Lodge has been conducted in the last two years. Our financial condition in the Grand Lodge is excellent, and the endowment department is in good condition also. I hope you will instruct your delegate the method in which you desire the burial department to be changed. In my opinion ten cents deducted from the monthly dues of each member will build a treasure while the member is alive. You understand as well as I do that fifteen cents taxation after a member is dead will not build up a treasure. There is no compulsion in the burial department. The sub-committee of management leaves it optional for you to do as you like, and where there is no compulsion there is no law. You cannot enforce taxation in the burial department, as the sub-committee of management holds the District Grand Lodge has the power to make laws, but that they are not in force until approved by the sub-committee of management. I hope that you understand this. I have visited Coffeyville and found that they are making great preparations for the Grand Lodge that is to be held there. I also recommend that no proposition be brought to this District Grand Lodge while it is in session, unless it has first been passed by a vote of two-thirds of the lodges and members in the jurisdiction. I recommend that all propositions should be gotten up by the subordinate lodges and have the Noble Grand's and Permanent Secretary's signature and also have the lodge seal on them. Said proposition should then be sent to the Grand Secretary and be placed on file and should have the third reading in the convention before there is an attempt to pass it, in order that all delegates may have a chance to understand it. I shall not make any visits, as all lodges are doing nicely. Some have an increase in membership of from twenty to thirty-five. My lodge has an increase of twenty, and all are doing nicely. I thank you for your loyal support to the present administration. Hope that you will continue to pdosper in the future as you have done in the past, as we are on our steady road to victory in the State of Kansas. Respectfully yours in F. L. T.. M. L. Butler, D. G. M. --- Price $1.50 Per Year MISSOURI AND KANSAS WILL HELP SOLDIERS Men Convicted of Houston Riot Will Have Support of Best people of the Two States. We visited Leavenworth, Kansas, St. Joseph, Richmond and Lexington, Mo., last week for The Plaindaleer and the Kansas Defense Society. We spoke at the Francis Street Baptist church. Rev. G. L. Prince, the pastor, was kind enough to let us have the whole evening to talk on Fight for the Release of the Soldiers the subject of "Race Pride and the Houston Riots." About thirty peo-Imprisoned for Participation in the ple, both men and women joined the organization. Rev. Prince is certainly a race man and loyal to the core. His congregation is loyal to him as well as to their church. AT RICHMOND we met a responsive cord from the loyal race people. The meeting was held at the C. M. E. church of which Rev. J. S. Blaine is the pastor. Prof. Jacobs, our correspondent, presided. Rev. B. R. Monroe, pastor of Ward Chapel A. M. E. and Rev. W. A. Crawley, of the Baptist church assisted in the devotional exercises. We addressed a large, and enthusiastic audience. We also perfected a fine organization. AT LEXINGTON we spoke at Labor hall. Rev. T. J. Sanford, pastor of the A. M. E. and Rev. C. A. Ralston, of the Baptist churches opened the meeting with song and prayer. Rev. Sanford presided We perfected an organization. The members have taken up the fight and will raise considerable money for the Kansas Defense Society. AT LEAVENWORTH we spoke to a large, appreciative audience. The colored people of this city are certainly loyal to anything that tends toward fighting for equal rights. They certainly will contend for their rights. The meeting was held at Bethel A. M. E. church. The Rev. J. C. C. Owens, the pastor, is a veteran of the Civil War and will not stand for anything but right and is always found in the ranks battling for the rights of his people. Dr. C. M. Moates was chairman of the meeting and he knows nothing but manhood rights. He is working hard to assist along with others to raise money for the Houston riot case. Dr. Moates says he will work until those boys are vindicated by being released and returned to duty. Several spoke on the matter. Sergt. Jackson says he is with the boys and will do all that is in his power to secure their release, as did also Mrs. Jackson, who is one of the influential Red Cross workers and a professional nurse. Attorney T. W. Bell gave a brief history of the outrage put upon these boys and said there isn't the slightest doubt about securing their release. All he wants is for the people over the country to raise the money to defray the expense of fighting the case to the end. There will be considerable cost in printing and preparing briefs, etc., in the case. Well, the farm was some place—whole lots of earth, more than you could walk or run over in a day. It was all fenced around with hedge, and there were lots and lots of trees, tall ones, short ones, and some that had or would have fruit on them (it was spring time). There were two pigs in a pen, a cow, one horse, and lots and heaps of chickens. To me a farm was an ideal place to live, and I liked it. I had to have a name, so the elderly lady, whom I now called Mrs., said she would call me Jack—Jack Johnson. But I wasn't like Johnson at all, extenting fighting, I could whip lots of things. They called me Jack for short. The first thing I learned to whip was the old rooster. At first he whipped me, but after a while I found out I could whip him. I would go out in the big orchard and find him scratching and feeding a big bunch of hens. I would walk up and challenge him. He would fly at me with a coarse "coo-coo-oo!" I would politely jump aside and dodge the blow; I would jump sidewise and back and keep backward toward the house, and old George they called him would be lunging at me with all his might. When we got to the back porch the young lady would come to the door and say: "Jack, you naughty doggie, now let George alone!" I would quit or get into some other mischief or play with the little girl. She would pull the little wagon while I run after it I liked to go with the young lady to pick up coos. She carried a bushel basket and would let me ride in it while she carried it. It was grand. I would sit erect with a dignified and a far-away look. I sure was sorry when I grew too big to ride in the basket. I grew very fond of the cow and the horse; when I grew older I could go to the pasture and bring the cow in. The horse would follow me. The mice were a curiosity to me; when they went to feed them the funny little things would squel, and I didn't like that. I'd try to bite their noses to make them keep still. But pawh! They'd squel more, so I let them alone. BICK CHILES. . . Editor and Owner SUBSCRIPTION RATES!

BOGUE, KAN. June 21, 1919 Hon. Nick Chiles. Dear Sir:—Pursuant to your request of December, 1918, I inclose draft for $1500, to be used in the haebas corpus case for the release of the soldiers confined in the U. S. penitentiary for their alleged riot in louston, Texas, in November, 1917, and as our race leaders here in Graham county denounced such steps I was forced to wait until now. I don't know whether it was for lack of confidence in the Kansas Defense Society or I myself, but I rather think the former. Anyway, be it either, I am asking you to print in the Plaindealer the names of each donor and the amounts set opposite their names. That will show two things: First, it lets the world know whom to look to as the friends of the Negro race; and again if I have failed to report all monies somebody will howl. You may print all I say if you like. Signed. J. C. B. LEW. 60 Days Trial Send us only 10 cents in cash or stamps and your waist measurement.
