The Topeka Plaindealer The Pleasant Relations Between White and Black in Topeka are Such That Roughnecks Cannot Disturb TOPEKA GIVES HOME-COMING COLORED SOLDIERS A GLAD HAND The celebration of the home-coming of the colored soldiers from France and those who were called into service for the duration of the war. Tuesday was the greatest event ever staged in Topocha. Attorney Ellisha Scott, manager of the affair deserves credit for the business like manner in which everything was handled, and proved an opportunity to handle things worth while. The other members of the committee, Rev. Watson, chairman deserve the highest commendation. It was the Rev. Watson who started the movement and surrounding himself with leaders like Mr. Scott and others the thing went over with a whoop. Hamilton Made Parade Credit for the magnificent success of the parade goes to Mr. G. W. Hamilton, veteran undertaker. Mr. Hamilton is one of the most patriotic citizens in the state, and not only gave two sons to the service of his country, but is the life and spirit of the Home Guard movement. He has labored incessantly to keep the organization on foot, said today it stands out boldly as a proud and living testimonial to the thrift, energy and patriotic service of Mr. Hamilton. Knowing Mr. Hamilton's ability to do things; his success with the Home Guards and also in his business, the paradoe was placed under his sole management, its success or failure to be charged to him. It was a man's size job with a real man to handle the situation, and to Mr. Hamilton's credit, he stemmed the tide of knockers, fault-finders, etc., and put over one of the grandest and most spectacular military pursuits that ever moved on Kansas. BAYSIDE MAIL MR. G W HAMILTON, the Man Who Does Things. avenue, over two hundred soldiers in uniform were in line besides the Red Cross units, ladies Palatine Guards, members of the fire and police departments and citizens in autos It seems at one time the idea of a parade was going to be abandoned on account of the intense heat, etc., it was feared that the men could not be induced to march, and Rev. Watson turned the whole affair over to Mr. Hamilton to be handled in anyway he deemed best. When the daily papers announced that Mr. Hamilton would be in charge of "the parade and celebration," all fear of failure, lack of enthusiasm, etc., left those who felt the least bit of doubt, for well did they know the affair was in the hands of a man who knows not the word quit and to whom failure is a total stranger. Mr Hamilton had the assistance of Capt. Les Hicks, Lieut Abbott, Lieut Hamilton and Sergt Frank Harrison. All had served overseas with honor and credit. Red Cross Served Soldiers. The Sunflower Auxiliary and Alpha units of the Red Cross under Mrs T P Martir and Mrs Lizzie Washington certainly put on a fine sword for the boys at Garfield park. They were assisted by over one hundred members who were handsomely gowned in white and wore Red Cross belts. They certainly looked fine and did everything in their power to make it pleasant for the men. Old Garfield park was a blaze of glory. Over five thousand people hailed to the soul stirring sketches delivered to Col Chas Young Mr Bibw, Mr Bauer, Cip McMahon, Dilisha Scott and Mayor Herbert J. Corwin. The speakers made a deem and lasting impression upon their hearers, assuring the race that better lines ahead. The address of Governor Henry T. Allen expresses the southeast of Kansas he hold a showing ribbon to the boys. This getting together with blessing to the record and a hold to all Kansas. The white and colored people are closer to a better understanding Kansas is always the white citizens adhere to the John Brown settlement and it is needed for Southern Nero intends to try to put the state in a class with Texas and Georgia. All of the white from governor down expressed that settlement, so let the Kansas soldiers take on fresh course and work hard and seeing their earnings and invest in property and business Work as hard for your individual serves as you did for Uncle Sam. We doff our hat to the ladies drill team of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, who in their dazzling uniforms looked very queenly, and their step and grace was equal to that of the soldiers. Speaking of the affair among other things The Daily Capital said; "Never in our state of Kansas as long as the black race has the equal rights of citizenship, will there ever be trouble between the two races" So declared Gov. Henry J. Allen in his address of welcome to the returning colored heroes from the east steps of the state house. He warmly congratulated George Turpin, Frank Crith and D. B. Bryant, the three members of Fort Pillar, post No 321, G. A. R., who turned out to act as color bearers for the company of colored heroes of the great world war. Then he went into the history of slavery, its abolishment at the time of the Civil war, then coming to the present time when the color line was drawn aside and the colored soldiers fought side by side with the whites on the different battlefields in France. Fasting of Harmony Here. Feeling of Harmony Here. "I have seen many of you fellows," the governor declared. "I was in Clemont that rainy night when you went thru and I saw some of you later in the hospital after you had been wounded in battle." The opening address at the state house was delivered by the Rev. S. E. J. Watson, pastor of the Shilloh Baptist church and chairman of the committee on arrangements for the celebration. He pointed out the feeling of harmony between the blacks and whites in Kansas and the absence of race riots that has been causing much trouble in different parts of the country. He said as long as there were leaders like Governor Allen, R. R. Diner, W. A. Diby and other men who carry similar ideas about equality there would be no trouble. The Governor was introduced by Hon H I. Monroe. Many Soldiers in Line. The program for the afternoon began with a big parade that formed at the auditorium. The line of march extended south on Quincy to Eighth west to Kansas avenue south to Tenth and west to the state house grounds where Governor Allen gave the men the address of welcome. The parade was headed by Jackson's Twenty-third realm band, preceded by a squad of police officers in automobiles and mounted on horses to keep back the crowd. Then came a company of colored soldiers, formed from different outfits. The majority were overseas soldiers from the Ninety-second division. The company was composed of over two hundred men, many of whom came from Leavenworth, Atchison, Kansas City, Lawrence, and many other nearby towns to take part in the celebration. Immediately following the company came the Ninth Battalion band of the Kansas state guard. Then came members of the Alba unit of the American Red Cross and the Sunflower auxiliary of that organization. This was followed by the International Order of the Twelve Princess guards of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor drill team. The No 3 ladder truck came next in the parade, followed by members of the committee of arrangements for the celebration and other patriotic Negroes of Topeka and nearby towns in automobiles. Honor Colonel Young. Following the addresses at the state house, the parade reformed and marched north to the Melan bridge, where the street railway company had special cars on hand to carry the members to Garfield park. The soldiers, in spite of the intense heat that made them swelter in their olive drab uniforms, marched the remainder of the way to the park. One of the distinguished figures in the parade was Col. Charles Young, who has the distinction of being the only Negro graduate from West Point holding the grade of colonel in the regular army. Colonel Young rode next to Elisha Scott, Negro attorney and manager of the committee that prepared the celebration, in an automobile, in front of the company of colored soldiers. Owing to the fact that he was forced to leave the city earlier than was expected, Colonel Young delivered his address at 6 instead of 4 ackh. Garfield Park Crowded. Meanwhile the parade was in progress, all of the cars going to the field park were crowded and groups of N cross were gathered on the street corners unable to find room. The street railway company had special cars going to the park contraband but many passengers were forced to wait a long time in order to find room to ride. The largest crowd that has been at the park in years began printing shortly after the end of the summer making of the state house and by a chock it is estimated that at most 100,000 people had gathered to take part in the celebration. The crowd began with a blue chicken dinner and soldiers prepared in the kitchen of the patio table colored red and white of the city. The dinner was served in army cafeteria style and didn't mess line. Full size chairs and tables of various colors sat on the line for their dinner. The tables of the citizenship club sat. TOPEKA.

After the supper, a committee of the Red Cross, composed of Mrs. T. I. Martin, Mrs. Rosa Jackson, Mrs. W. I. Jamison, Mrs. Taylor Reed, Mrs. Lizzie Washington and Mrs. D. T. Alexander, pinned Shawnee county service medals on the soldiers. Five Died in Service. Space was used in the program for the mention of five colored soldiers who died while in the service of their country. They were: Jordon Patterson, 1179 Buchanan; John Wilson, 509 North Harrison; John Burnett, 723 Locust; Albert Thompson, 1448 Washington, and Henry Bly, 1734 Topeka Avenue. Four of these died in France. Colonel Young, who delivered the principal address for the evening, spoke highly of the character of the Negro soldiers while in the service. He also called their attention for the necessity of their loyalty to their country, in which he said a few words in favor of the Negroes organizing national guard units NEGRO PILOT WINS SECOND IN AUTO RACE TO CHEYENNE. William Helm, Barred From Denver to-Cheyenne Event by the Times on Account of Color, Is Nosed Out of First Place.w Driving against tremendous odds, William Helm piloted his Revere car to second place. His time was 2:17:26. The Denver Times attempted to bar Helm from the race, after he had shown an exceptional burst of speed in a try-out Monday morning. The excuse given by the Times for barring Helm was that he is a Negro. For weeks before the race the Times had announced the race as a free-for-all event, open to all cars and all drivers. Helm's entry was accepted by the Times and announcement was made in its columns that he would be one of the racers. He was even touted as "the black Oldfield" and declared to be one of America's greatest uato racers. Then, a few hours before the start of the race Helm was informed that "the color line had been drawn." Helm Refused to Be Ousted. Helm refused to Be Ouster. Helm refused to be ousted from the race. He started thirty seconds behind the other twenty contestants and passed nineteen of them on the road, altho every effort was made by the Times to keep him from making a good record. All auto drivers know how much time is lost in walking for an opportunity to pass cars on the road and it is generally agreed that Helm would have won the race with a fifty-fifty break. The winner of the race passed two cars; Helm passed nineteen. But under the Times' own rules, Helm certainly is entitled to second money, for his entry was accepted by that paper and he made second best time over the course. A great deal of dissatisfaction among autolists and race enthusiasts resulted from the way the Times handled the affair. Charges of favorism and barring dangerous competitors were freely made. "The Times should have drawn the color line in the first place, or not at all" said one autolist. "Once Helm's entry was accepted he should have been allowed to race. He certainly deserves second money now, for his wonderful race against tremendous odds, and I am not sure but he is entitled to first money. The whole affair looks suspicious." A Hudson, driven by Red Malters was third in 2:30 Lt. Howard, in a Biddle, was fourth His time was 2:32:17 Harry O'Brien, in a Premier, was fifth, and J. A. Jewell, in a Chalmers, was sixth. The course was rough, causing minor accidents to a number of cars but none of the drivers was hurt. Howard's Biddle finished the race minus a radiator. O'Brien drove his Premier most of the way with broken springs. After Drinker had passed fifteen of the contestants, the frame of his car collapsed and the engine dropped to the road—From The Denver Post PYTHIANS IN ANNUAL MEET Topeka Entertains Court or Calanthe and Sunflower Grand Lodge. The Sunflower Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe met in the twenty-fifth annual session in Topeka, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Sunflower Grand Lodge met in Representative hall at the state house and the Grand Court met in the Supreme Court room. Tuesday morning the Grand Court marched in a body to Representative hall where they were received by the Grand Lodge. The following program was rendered by the ladies of the Court and the gentlemen of the Grand Lodge Song by Mrs. Cheek, Ottawa; addresses by Mrs. Norene Davis, Kansas City; Mrs. Roberts, Wellington; Miss Mattle Perkins, Topeka, and Dr. S. H. Thompson, Kansas City, Mrs W. W. Plumb, Oakland, Calif. The Grand Lodge voted $500 to the Court for which the ladies extended thanks. On Tuesday night a program was rendered in Representative hall. The welcome address in behalf of the city was delivered by Mayor H J Corwin. He assured the visitors that they were welcome to the city and that he was in sympathy with all progressive movements of this kind. The audience appreciated the many kind words made by Mayor Corwin and he certainly made many good, warm friends. The Rev J. R Ransom, of Wichita, responded. Miss Mattie Perkins made the welcome address in behalf of the local Court. She was royally received and everybody appreciated the many kind remarks made by her Miss Perkins assured the visitors that no palms were spared to make it pleasant for them. They showed they appreciated her remarks by the great applause given at the conclusion of her speech. This was one of the best grand sessions ever held in the history of the order. The attendance was larger and there was more money in the treasury by several thousand dollars than in any previous session. There is over eight thousand dollars in the Endowment department and eleven hundred dollars in the treasury. The grand chancellor, Dr S H Thompson, of Kansas City, deserves much credit for bringing this order up to his present high standard. When he took hold there was scarcely any money in the treasury and there was quite an indebtedness against the order. Now all claims are paid and there is some thing over eight thousand dollars in the Endowment department. He intended to retire from the office, but the jurisdiction would not hear to it Mrs Norline Davis grand worthy counsellor of the Grand Court of Calauhie, deserves great credit as a leader. Under her direction several new courts have been added to the jurisdiction. The older Courts have grown to larger numbers. Over two hundred judges represented the Courts all over the state. This was the best session ever held in the state of Kansas. A 1918 session was not held owing to war conditions, which made the work this year very heavy yet much was accomplished during the three days in which the sessions were held.

At the promer time she says she will tell the public why she is not in the clerk's office after working for months at $50 per month to learn the routine of the work. Being a poor working woman she thought she had the right to aspire for office while holding a county job without offending any one Miss Scudder declared. CAUSE THE DREADFUL RIOT IN CHICAGO --- Chicago III July 30 The scene of riot has shifted from Washington, the nation's capital to Chicago, America's greatest cosmopolitan city, and regarded everywhere as the world's greatest center of race progress. Sunday afternoon, a colored lad was bathing in Lake Michigan near the beach at East 20th street. The day was hot and tens of thousands of Chicago's population were seeking relief from the heat in the cooling waters of Lake Michigan. This lad was on a raft and a white ruffian threw a stone and knocked him into the water where he drowned before being rescued. The attention of white policemen was immediately called to the ruffian, but the policeman refused to arrest the man, where upon the crowd became angered and in a short time began to "clean up" the place. The man accused of the crime is Augusta Struiner. Finally, he was arrested by two colored detectives, Middleton and Scott. The news of the crime scattered like wild fire. Hundreds rushed from the beach in their clothing costumes hurrying to places of shelter while others hurried to their nearby homes for revolvers and rifles. DR. HARDING IS FOR FAIR PLAY Under the censor of "Row With Negroes" the following appeared in a recent issue of The Topoka State Journal "A city ordinance prohibiting Negro children from playing in Children's park, is desired by about 200 citizens who have presented a petition to that effect to Commissioner McClifford McClifford says that according to the law it is impossible for him to take any action in the matter "The petition states that this path was given to the city by Dr Eva Huefim especially for the use of white children "A recent quarrel at the park has brought the matter to some degree of heat. Petty disturbances have been in evidence a number of times in recent weeks In the petition the signers toll on an incident where a white boy was held down while the Negro boys pocked his mouth with dirt. A white woman interfered. This was when a Negro preacher came to the pond with a number of Negro boys. They ask a man down to come in, but were told that they knew the rules. They came In That Roughnecks C Price $1.50 Per Year in anyway. The white boys got out of the pool. The Negro boys got angry, and caught the one white boy and proceeded to abuse him. "Commissioner McGiffert says that it is one of the "unwritten laws" or rules that the Negro children may have the park in the morning and white children in the afternoon." --- As Dr. Harding Views the Park Matter "The day of the public park, with its 'keep off the grass' signs and its large flower beds that were to be admired by the public, ended about the same time that the old fashioned parlor went out of existence and the wax flowers were discarded," declares Dr. Eta Harding. Now Doctor Harding has a plan that probably will cause the residents of its exclusive resident district surrounding Central park to throw up their hands. Her idea is to throw open the lakes of the park to the swimmers of the city and make the park a real pleasure ground for ALL people, rather than a beauty spot with nicely manicured lawns, well kept flower beds and a few lakes containing a dozen or so goldfish. "Central park belongs to the people, and not just to the few residents surrounding or any certain set of citizens. Gage park is taking care of more than its share of swimmers. Conditions at the swimming pool at that park are deplorable." Doctor Harding explained that there were three large lakes in Central park that are suitable for swimming. The north lake is the deepest and would be the best for the purpose and might be used by the better swimmers, while the other two might be used by the younger and unexperienced bathers. At the present time these three lakes are being used for nothing except as the background for a half dozen swans. The question asked by Doctor Harding is, "Why should about six swans have the privileges denied to hundreds of Teopekans, who pay for the upkeep of the park during this mild summer weather*" --- Topeka, Kans., July 25, 1919. Dr Eva Harding. Topeka, Kansas. Dear Dr. Harding. I note through the daily papers a petition to the commissioner of parks, asking that colored children be excluded from participating in the pleasures of the of a certain park and that you gave the park for the exclusive use of white children. I note an interview with you in the Daily Capital, that you said the park is for the people and not for any individual class. We are glad to note the fact that there are yet a few big hearted, Christian white women still living and following the example set by the late Harriet Heeber Stone. It is an established fact, that some people think just because they are connected with a certain class, that they have a license to do any and everything, regardless of the feelings of their fellow servants. Will there ever be a time when this class of white people will learn some sense? We are proud that you have taken the stand that you have. You will not only have the prayers of all the praying colored people for your noble and Christian stand, but the Christian white people also. The quicker it is understood that public places operated by the taxpayers' money are for the public and not private use and the officers of the law see to it that this is carried out, the better it will be for all concerned. These kicking, ignorant whites of whom a large majority do not even own their homes and probably will have to ask assistance from the county when the snow files, are the ones who are not only giving this government trouble, but also the community in which they live. They ought to consult such men as Mr. James A Troutman, Mr. Frank Bonebrake, and hundreds of highly respected white men who have been in swimming holes with colored boys in their boyhood days and never thought anything of it. This is the fault of the parents and not the children for this race hatred which is now going the rounds of this "codish aristocracy" in Kansas that country in other words there is a lot come from Texas Michigan and other Southern hall holes, brought up and trained to hate colored people in the day time and who are not trained to work but from force of circumstance were driven to Kansas where they have brought their race hatred and are now attempting to innoculate the good citizens of Kansas, but we warn them as long as good women like you take a hand in public affairs and theirs who will join you those honor writers will never get anywhere. The class of whites who think they or their children too good to go to tomb places he came colored people are permitted therein him them do like the Catholles who do not believe in send for their children to Photos out childs. They pay taxes they oate from saint children and also tax themselves personally to carry on their own schools and not do no hear any complaint.

The Republican party in Kansas will have a man from the Democratic party who will be a large asset to the party in 1920 in the person of Hon. K. C.

RACE BIOTS IN THE The following was received from the Nation's Capitol when the riots last week were at fever heat, and it can be plainly seen who is responsible for the reign of lawlessness: "A deadly wave of crime is sweeping over the Nation's Capital. Men, women and children are being shot down on the streets by mobs of maddened soldiers and marines. Negro accused of having assaulted a white woman, the cause of the outbreak. It is predicted that the only way to stop the ravages of these military ruffians, will be to place the city under marital rule. Great meetings are being held in all parts of the city, and a ringing appeal has been sent to the President for the protection of life and property. It is evident that a nation-wide organization to discredit the Negro is at the bottom of this reign of terror. Washington is filled with Southerners—men and women who are endeavoring to convince the world that the Negro is a confirmed criminal and that Washington, like Atlanta, East St. Louis, and other mob-ridden localities, is filled with a vicious element of Negroes. Last night's rioting beggars description, and a continuation will make all former race-outbreaks appear like Sunday school plenics. More than a score of people have been killed and the battle goes merrily on. No man's life is safe—the mob recognizes neither race nor condition, and a portion of the city may be given to the flames at any moment. Stores refuse to sell arms to Negroes, yet the man and brother is not going to die alone, he is going up to meet his God in company with a host of Negro hating whites. The press is sending out lies to the whole world—placing the fault upon the shoulders of the Negroes, but we are going to see that the truth is told or report to heaven the reason why. Tell our people to cheer up; thousands of the black heroes of the Argonne are here and they will crush the Hindenberg forces here as they crushed them upon the battle fields of Europe. I wish that ten thousand of the Kansas City boys were in Washington at this time. JSH. TOPEKA'S FIRST COLUMB LICENSED EMBALMER G. W.

AND WASHINGTON IS AWARE OF SHAME IN THE LAWLESSNESS (StaT Correspondence of the Kansas (St) Star.) Washington, July 22 - Unlike the East St Louis riots the situation here in Washington the last few days, has nothing of the economic question in it. There is no case of Negroes taking white men's work or any such feeling behind it. It has been unleashed and made race hatred turned loose in a city which is the capital of the United States. There is the element of an aftermath of the war in it, although the greater part of the riots have not been soldiers and sailors but the feeling brought home from France that the Negroes were permitted to many liberties "over there" with the French women of certain classes has shown underneath some of the disgraceful lawlessness. The trouble here started with a series of crimes of the worst character against white women. Woman after woman was assaulted in the suburbs of the city. The police made arrests but got nohere and the crimes continued. The assailant in every case was a Negro. The better element of the Negro race here volunteered to do what they could to run down the girl's criminals but the failure to stop them fed the feeling of hatred and race antagonism. Friday a white girl was insulted by a Negro on one of the main business streets of the city. That inflamed the situation more. Saturday night the streets were full of soldiers and sailors, many of them discharged. Also there were many Negroes on the streets, for Washington has a Negro population of more than 100,000 out of 400,000. Rows on the street started. Soldiers and sailors chipped in and made things rough for any Negroes found down town. But to blame the uniformed men for starting the trouble, as some do, is entirely wrong. The voice let things get away from them the first night and the spark was lit that soon had a fire of race hatred burning. Sunday night, hoodlums elements of both whites and blacks cut loose and the fights grew more numerous and shooting began. But the feeling that was let loose would no down, especially as the police again showed themselves unable to move the situation. Although the whites started the first trouble, anger over the assaults on white women Nerrous became the aggressors last night. Regular fusilades of shots were heard first here and there throughout the Northwest section. Nerrous seemed inflamed with anger at anybody in uniform but while they voiced their anger at "them soldiers" they shot and pounced on anybody white and I the whites, in turn, said those "niggers" have got to have a legged and so it went. Washington awoke today to find out how great the shame and disgrace of the lawlessness has been. There was no longer any disposition to "pooh pooh" over the danger of the situation as there had been at first.—Kansas City Star Had the Negroes of Washington tucked their heads and stood for the beatings administered by the white "heroe" from "over there," today it would be impossible for a black man to walk the streets of Washington without being assaulted. But the tide has turned, this time the Negro fought back—moh met moh and the better element of whites who are not in sympathy with such things but have set quietly by for all these years and suffice, this be done can now see the open I will join hands with the Double and help suppress this Lodgement AD AND IN HIS NAME, to Bury Themselves in Africa.

The world's greatest physicians have given to civilization facts which were unheard of. In the process of this great awakening, a noted European physician prepared a purely vegetable compound for the treatment of scalp diseases in the allied armies which were found prevalent among the men on the firing lines. While at the front, an American soldier fighting with the French army was given this formula for the treatment of this seemingly unconquerable disease of the scalp. On seeking relief he brought this formula into use, which not only relieved but cured the disease and left the hair soft, straight and glossy and in a healthy condition, which so improved his appearance that he sought to aid others by placing it on the market when he returned to America, but finding the ingredients so costly, and hard to obtain, he was unable to promote its manufacture and sale. In view of this the formula was secured by the Wilson Chemical Co. and is now being manufactured on a large scale. It is the only harmless and safe preparation of its kind on the market for the treatment of short, coarse, kinky hair as well as the prevention of hair turning gray and a cure for any and all diseases of the scalp The preparation was also named at the battle front. After the soldier had used the formula, his hair became straight, soft and glossy, and from that time on his comrades began calling him "SATIN-TOP" Send $1.60, which includes postage, to the WILSON CHEMICAL COMPANY, MnFg.
